Daeus replied to the topic Tree in the forum Fantasy 9 years ago
@warrioroftherealm I think as long as you have some clear differences from the white tree. I’d also question though why it has to be a tree. Trees are perfectly fine, but I’d personally choose the forbiden fruit symbol based on what fits best for my story world and style. It could be a gem in an underground cavern. It could be a magic icon. It…[Read more]

I’ve been thinking of including the Tree of Life in my story (named differently, but basically the same as the one in Genesis). However, I was wondering if non-Christians who read my book would think I…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I’m impressed, seeing as I only typed it as an afterthought.

@salome01w4g Okay, what that’s asking is, “If you’re careful about what you read, what signs do you look for to tell you that the book you have in hand is going to be faithful to your trust?”

@kate-flournoy I’ll just counter that deceptiveness by saying that I won’t bite off your finger either. *smug look*

Hi, @aislinn-mollisong. Yes, what Catwing said. On top of that, we also host live panel discussions every other month where you can ask writing questions. KP has a couple writing courses too. On the forum, we share a lot of the issues we have and the victories we achieve. We help each other. We also debate writing theory, talk about books, talk…[Read more]

*rolls eyes* I WON’T BITE YOUR FINGER OFF.
There. Now good luck figuring out which of me it was that was talking at the moment.
Cool. Good luck. 🙂

@Aislinn-Mollisong Yep, @Catwing pretty much said it. 😀 Scroll through our old topics and revive any you want to. Pick up what you can and if you still have questions, start your own thread! Seriously. *clears throat and flicks dust off sleeve of immaculate uniform* We’re here to help you grow as a writer and encourage you as a member of our…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy The sneaky thing about that comment is that you never said you wouldn’t bite my finger off.
Well, I won’t know until it ends. Personally, I could probably get 100 to take it. Maybe more. I expect to convince others to share it for me though. I’m aiming for 1,000. Last time I got 225 some. Most likely I’ll end up with 300-400.

@Daeus Smeagol wouldn’t hurt a flea! Smeagol swears never to bite off your finger. We swears… on the Precious.
Oh yeah, I just meant, how many people will be taking the survey? How big is your field of feedback?

Daeus replied to the topic Brainstormers this way in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years ago
@salome01w4g @shannon Now that I’m looking through the doc, I’m not seeing much jargon. Could you point out anything in particular that stood out to you?
@kate-flournoy What do you mean by survey pool?

Daeus replied to the topic Brainstormers this way in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years ago
@salome01w4g @shannon @kate-flournoy Thanks for the feedback.
Hannah and Shannon, I’ll try to make the wording simpler. I may come back to get your opinion on it when I’m done.
Hannah, I expect it will be published on KP. However, that will be up to Josiah, so I can’t say for sure.
Kate, I appreciate your always being helpful. Just don’t bite…[Read more]

@Emma-Flournoy Well I don’t know about you, but that was a PATHETIC eclipse.

@salome01w4g Yep! There’ll be one 2024, and will be in Texas. I believe it’s in April.

Sort of! I must’ve been expecting it to get really really dark. It did get a leeeetle darker and looked kinda cool out, but it was…pathetic. Looking at the sun through the solar filter was pretty cool though. It looked like an orange crescent moon. (We weren’t in the ‘path of totality’ as they call it, so we didn’t get to see it 100% eclipsed.…[Read more]
I don’t know WHAT I was expecting, but it wasn’t that. And yeah, maybe that’s because I didn’t have solar filter thingies or whatever. ANNA did. But that’s because she was cleaning someone’s house at the time, and they were kind enough to offer them to her.
*sigh* So yeah, I was a poor earthling. Sheesh. Pictures are always lovely.

@Emma-Flournoy Blphugh. I always forget the tag.
ACTUALLY, you don’t have to do a tag as long as you’re hitting the reply button. I’ll still get a notification. It’s rather nice.
*sage nod* That’s sad. I’ll send pictures.
(Yeah, seriously! The scientists are so kind in naming their things cool things.)
Oh! Well that makes sense, I suppose. *tags you anyway* @Emma-Flournoy
Uh-huh, I got two tags. 😉
Notifications I mean.
There is no greater irony than you giving me two notifications to tell me YOU got two.
XD I didn’t do it on purpose.
*snickers* Bet ya did. 😉
*snickers wickedly* And you’ll never know.
(The fact that I virtuously never lie could help you out though.)
I ain’t droppin’ no eaves, honest (so I hope it’s okay to jump into this conversation? I’m really sorry if it’s not!), but I got to see the eclipse in totality. I don’t live in the Path of Totality either, so my family journeyed to a different state to see it. And it was totally epic.
Jump all you like! (And kudos for a perfectly placed LotR quote…)
Gah, that must have been SO cool! What was it like? Did everything get dark or something, or is that just one of those random myths everyone thinks is true?
Thanks! (And thanks, I love that quote. XD)
It was pretty awesome… Everything didn’t get dark as in the dead of night kind of dark, but it was all dusky, I believe the word is. A flock of birds returned to roost in the trees, and the cicadas and other night bugs began to sing. And Venus (usually the brightest “star” in the sky) was visible.…[Read more]
@ethryndal Pathetic eh? I certainly hope this is one of your sarcastic moments, because it was far from it. 😛
@Jessi-Rae YIKES. That sounds AWESOME.I think the coolest thing about what you just said is how the animals and stuff thought it was night time. *shivers* It’s almost creepy. I don’t know about you, but I kinda want to write a story about an eclipse now. 😛
(And your imagery was so cool. Sun like rising stage lights? SO. COOL.)
@Dragon-snapper…[Read more]
@ethryndal You’re right! It would be fun to write a story about an eclipse. Or something similar, anyway…
(Thanks! That was the best way I could think to describe it. 🙂 )
