@aratrea Ah, okay. I think I’m getting now. Thank you!

@ethryndal That’s awesome. Like I said to Audrey, it’s awesome to have role models you see and interact with on a regular basis–especially when they have to overcome struggles like chronic health problems. Great example!

@dragon-snapper Certainly! Here are three different answers I came up with.

– Pride is simply a way of recognizing your strengths and helps you build a confident persona.
– Internal pride doesn’t affect someone as long as they make sure they don’t act pridefully toward others.
– Pride is always destructive and will ruin all your relationships in life.

The person I look up to most would definitely be my mom. She has a chronic health condition that keeps her in constant pain most of the time, but her faith in God is still incredibly strong, despite it, and she’s an amazing, steady person.

@jenali Haha, that’s great you’ve already been applying this to characters. Putting characters in a position where they can see the harms their actions are causing is a great way to induce change.

@jenali Yes; that is the unfortunate truth about what happens when you learn new concepts in the middle of the writing process!

The character arc outline here looks good. I like the fact that you included an example of someone he can look up to in the midpoint arc. Using other characters as examples is a great method of bringing about change, and…[Read more]

@jenali Great thoughts. I love your example of you and your siblings, because it’s definitely true! The people we spend a lot of time with have the ability to influence us a lot.

@graciegirl I organize things so that I can find them, but if it tells you anything, I reorganize so much, that I can never find anything. 😛

@aratrea Well…I’m stuck here… What does pride do to a man anyway? I have multiple themes, but do mind helping me out with this first one so I can get the gist of it?

@aratrea
Yeah. Some things you don’t want to know by life experience… 🙂

@Rachelle those are GORGEOUS and that little mini story is too adorable for words. *hugs herself to keep all the warm fuzzies inside* More pleeeeeeease… Pretty please?

@ethryndal I actually have done some watercolor, and I did find it fun.
Yes, I do organize my books tallest to shortest. There’s no other way to do it. 😛
However, I don’t tend to iron people’s cloths…and I’m too lazy to keep up with my shoes. 😀
Have you seen the Lego movie? Sometimes I feel like Lord Business. 😛

@Dragon-Snapper You should try water-color. The entire point is to paint something that looks like a mess. It’s very frustrating. 😛 And wait, do you organize the books on your shelf from tallest to shortest? Mentally iron the wrinkles out of peoples clothes? Perfectly straighten your shoes so they’re exactly an inch and a half from the closet…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper Oh yes, the age long battle over names. I prefer naming fantasy characters, because then I can just make something up. 🙂 But when it comes to real life people…ugh.

I also like the letter E for a hero… Eowyn, Eragon, Emolas (he’s one of my characters 🙂 ) Edmund…Eeyore…

@ethryndal Poor dishcloths. I’ve tried doing less detailed drawings, and they always end up looking terrible. 😛 However, I am a perfectionist in everything else. The birthday ribbons need to be in a perfect pattern. Library books also must be in perfect order, organized. My music playlists are all organized alphabetically… (I have nearly a…[Read more]
