@Winter-Rose Yeesh, how long did it take you to figure out how to say that in Yodanese?

Well, it’s a well-known fact that macs beat everything, but at the same time, if all you do is write, then there’s no need to be picky. I won’t be offended if you get a windows.

@Winter-Rose Artoo, don’t leave me!

@Winter-Rose True words of wisdom. XD

For some strange reason, I nearly tagged myself in that last post. XD Oh the joys of going to bed at 3 am.

@Winter-Rose I’ll be writing for maybe half an hour.

Oh wait, you didn’t defeat your writer’s block. You’re trying to defeat it by finding a name. Oops. I have a problem with reading things too fast. I saw @Kate-Flournoy‘s post and got my faulty information from that, so… IT’S HER FAULT, NOT MINE!!! Not to shift blame or anything… 😉

@S-G-Dewey CONFETTI AND CYBER HUGS ABOUT WRITER’S BLOCK VICTORY! Now tell me your secret. Is it chocolate? 😛

There are so many good names from the time period you’re writing about, it’s hard to narrow the list down. What letter do you think it should start with? Your character sounds like a rather militant type of person, so I would suggest…[Read more]

@S-G-Dewey hm, I’m best with wayyyy older names, but I shall see what I can think of… Francis. William. Laurence. Alexander. Oliver. Douglas. Richard. Martin. George.
I’ll let you know if I think of anything else…

And congratulations on defeating your writer’s block! *cheers*

Digney. Er, that’s the first thing that came to mind, but I completely invented it.

Same here. For me, life IS the story, and since life without Christ is not complete, it stands to reason a story without Christ is not complete either. So it’s a matter of learning to see reality through the correct lens and put it down just as it is— death, life, despair, hope, sin, God, and everything! 😀

And I’m currently feeling like all my…[Read more]

@ethryndal C-3P0 from Star Wars
Okay, here’s one. 😀
“We’ll barbeque together! We’ll point at things together! We’ll team-build together! We’ll wear suits together!”

The Elf is hauling this thread out of the dreaded depths of page 2. And since it’s pretty safe to say that no one knows where the current quote came from, I’m going to do a new one that (hopefully) is pretty obvious.

“Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1!”

@aratrea What excites me most about theme is the ability to write fiction that’s deep and meaningful, not just a ‘fun’ book that people immediately forget because they’re nothing but glue holding it together. I want to be able to touch people, to move them with my writing while being a testimony of Christ.

@audrey-caylin That’s awesome! Glad to hear that the lesson helped you so much!

One thing you could do with your story’s message is to expand it by offering a reason for hope (e.g. “There’s always a reason to hope because _______________”). It somewhat depends on what type of story you’re trying to write, as a reason isn’t strictly necessary,…[Read more]

@Daeus I’m late, but the gold title definitely works better.

@Daeus Hm…it might. Wouldn’t hurt to try and see, at any rate. 😀 And the silver sword between would make a nice divider.

@Daeus *groans* Tell me about it. 😛

@hope Anything helps. God bless.
But actually, that point that individual book plot points may sometimes line up with the overall plot points is very helpful.

@kate-flournoy 😀 You haven’t gone green in a while. And it’s funny because I can’t think of anything you might have read that would have caused it. It feels like I did, but now I don’t…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy That’s what I’m thinking. Say, do you think it might look better if the subtitle were gold too?
