@Daeus no. You tagged me with a definition of a wyvern and now I don’t see that post anywhere on this thread.

You wake up in the middle of the night to a strange beeping noise. Your phone lies on the table next to your bed, with four words flashing across the screen, thick and fuzzy through heavy static: ‘YOU ARE NOT ALONE’.

Your phone rings as…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I’m right here. What, did you think I got kidnapped by wyverns or something?

@GracieGirl YESSS wasn’t it amazing? It made me cry, and I hardly ever cry at books anymore. Edwin was my favorite but Rameaux is close second. Then Drake. Then Blackhood. (No spoilers people. Let’s be nice to those on here who haven’t read it). And… yes. I loved it.

… where did @Daeus go? There was… he tagged me and gave me the definition of a wyvern. What just happened? 😛

@R-J-Wordsmith @Daeus oh, thanks! That actually does sound pretty cool. I like it. *grins*

@graciegirl Whew! Get some sleep tomorrow. Lol, I want to be like Rameaux when I grow up 😉 😛

@kate-flournoy From Wikipedia:

A wyvern is a legendary creature with a dragon’s head and wings, a reptilian body, two legs, and a tail. A sea-dwelling variant dubbed the sea-wyvern has a fish tail in place of a barbed dragon’s tail. The wyvern in its various forms is important to heraldry, frequently appearing as a mascot of schools and athletic…[Read more]

@GracieGirl aha. That explains why I didn’t know that; I don’t know a thing about phones. I’m a bit of a technological dinosaur. 😉
@R-J-Wordsmith no idea what Wyvern is either but that’s a lovely prompt and I can definitely use it. Thanks. 🙂

@GracieGirl no idea who Siri is, but thanks for the prompts. 😀

@r-j-wordsmith Crime and Punishment is better. *runs off before Josiah can retaliate*

@kate-flournoy Ah; good question. Yes, I’m just trying to exclude the characteristic moment, mash moments, midpoint, and resolution scenes. Any other scene is fine!

@Aratrea I have a question… you said not to use ‘main thematic scenes’ for the homework. How broadly are you defining that? Cuz I just combed through my story looking for a thematically ‘un-main’ scene and I can’t really find one. I mean, there are some more important than others, but they all have the theme in them some way or other, even if…[Read more]

@r-j-wordsmith Welcome to the site–glad you’ve found us! I have seven younger siblings and was likewise homeschooled so it sounds like we have a similar background. 😉 And excellent choice with Count of Monte Cristo there. My favorite book is probably a tie between that and Brothers Karamazov.

@R-J-Wordsmith first off, I love your tag. And yes! The Screwtape Letters are awesome. As are TCoMC, and Narnia, and homeschooling, and tons of siblings, and more stories than you know what to do with… *grins* Welcome to KP. *hands you superhero cloak* You may need this around here; we’re a bit prone to saving the world. 😉

@Ethryndal ooh, I like it. Thanks. 🙂

@Hope niiiice. And technically your prompt can have anything at all in it so long as it includes the topic… so a magical cell phone that can turn into a sword isn’t too far fetched, if you wanna go that route. 😀

@Daeus Thank you for giving meaning to my writers’ block. XD May happiness and prosperity follow you all the rest of your life.

@Kate-Flournoy
You find a cell phone in the dumpster that lets you communicate with the people you call through thoughts, not words.

Welcome, @R-J-Wordsmith, fellow Narnian and homeschooler! I too love classics, though I am afraid to say I’ve never read CoMC (sorry, @Daeus 😀 ) Who’s your favorite Narnia character?

Oh, and that’s so neat, your character cameos. I love when authors do that. 🙂

@aratrea I’m going to have to follow the trend here, because like everyone else, my answer is the same as the last one: Pain. In the same way that it has deepened me and pushed me closer to God, I feel like I use it a LOT to deepen my characters and help them grow.
