It’s okay, Kylo Ren. Your existence is helping people understand people better, even if they’re not talking about you.

@Kate-Flournoy I think I get you…
So then when I feel terribly sorry or happy for someone, it’s sympathy? Even though the emotion I am experiencing for them is the the same one they are experiencing?
With your example of the kid on the sidewalk (poor little guy!), it looks like you’re saying empathy is primarily for emotions… is that right? So…[Read more]

So Kate, is it due to being an empath that I cringe and feel like disabling all my sensors when seeing and hearing all the chopping and slicing in too-graphic battle scenes? (Or even some other, not graphic, things. Like Mike Wasowski slamming himself into a sitting position on a metal bar to make Boo laugh—that part makes me seriously want to…[Read more]

Thanks. 🙂

Ooooh, this sounds so fun, @ClaireC!

I’m terribly sorry, but I don’t think I have time to participate right now.
Y’all have fun though. 😀

@ClaireC

I’ve put a video on the forum once; I think I just copy-and-pasted the link, and the video popped up. I didn’t specifically mean for it to, but it did.

Mine’s sunlight on little white flowers at the edge of the woods.

@BlueJay

I like the second one best. 🙂

Wow, @BlueJay, you won second in the competition! Good job.
And is ‘Paperclip Productions’ your ownest company?? Wow.
I like this. Is the story taken directly from the Chuck Black story?

@BlueJay

Rumplestiltskin

The Simpleton

Jack and the Beanstalk

Little Red Riding Hood

St. George and the Dragon (or is that a true story?)

Or are all of those too like childrens’ nursery tales?

That is hilarious.

I would say what Daeus said on his post about the first poem—the meter/cadence could use some evening out; though I know with a list of words that must be used, there’s only so much you can do for rhyme and cadence.
And also, ‘a yelled of surprise’ is not grammatically correct. 😉

That’s really funny. 🙂

@BlueJay

I actually haven’t read any…according to a trusted source (ahem, @Kate-Flournoy), I may not. *shrug* What’s the use, if they’re not AMAZING?
But I know everyone has differing opinions, which I respect. 🙂
What’s supposed to be THE BEST one?

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise

My birthday is January 11th, and I’m late.
Wait. That wasn’t the punchline.

😉

I’m 15.

@Anne-Swiftblade, so sorry for being so very terribly late. I was tagged, but I was gone. 🙁
Happy birthday anyway!

Me too, @Jess. 🙂

Hey, that’s @BlueJay ‘s name! 🙂 🙂 🙂

@Mark-Kamibaya @Jess

Remember: Premise is what makes the readers pick up the book. Plot is what keeps them reading. Character is what makes them pick up the book a second time. And for the record I find that I always remember the characters most.

Yes, yes, yes.
So much this.

Gotcha @Jess.

I’m thinking that instead of the typical overthrow, they reconcile in some exciting, entertaining way.

That is an extremely creative idea! That could be so good; I can’t recall having seen it in a story before.

And I 200% agree with your philosophy for dealing with your ideas already being taken—‘Well, I’ll just have to make min…[Read more]
