@mark-kamibaya, that is a great idea! I’m not sure how much coding ability we have at our disposal at the moment to actually make that happen, but it is definitely something to keep in mind. One of the main reasons I like it is because we have discussed trying to find ways to better help people be mentors and find mentoring. I think this might be…[Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya ha! That’s hilarious.
No one holds it against you. 😀

Conservative Republican as well.

This topic could get highly controversial, so in advance, let’s all be polite and courteous to each other, dear KeePers, no matter the differences in our opinions.

@Mark-Kamibaya Okay that is weird…
And that’s all right, I know the difference between occult and a cult—I understand your clarification. 😛

@mark-kamibaya I suspect you are right. Some people who are into New Age and believe in Ascended Masters and all that actually believe that dragons are real, supernatural creatures that can interact with them. Although I think they are just demons in disguise.

@Mark-Kamibaya *nods vigorously*

@Mark-Kamibaya Really? Ah well, opinions. 😛
I know, it’s so fun relive it all by listening to the music.

@mark-kamibaya @Julia-r @corissa-maiden-of-praise Thanks guys! That was very helpful! 😀

@Daeus Okay. Should’ve known you were kidding. 😛 What specifically don’t you like about Roran? I don’t think he’s just awesome myself, but I like other characters less, including Oromis. I don’t like the elves. Do you like Eragon or Sapphira? (Say no about Eragon. He’s just meh.)
I know, I don’t think he’s a Christian either.…[Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya Murtagh. You’re probably talking about Murtagh. Excellent choice. 😉

And as for diagnosing your problem, it’s probably just a question of what kind of reader you are. There are two types of readers (and incidentally two types of writers). Those who care most about the characters and relationships and subtext, and those who care…[Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya I like them both in different ways. Edge of Night is a great pensive, brooding song. Last Goodbye is more of a bittersweet triumph; sad, but not sad, because even though you’re saying goodbye now, you’ll always have those memories. *sniffsniff* I need a tissue. @Anne-of-Lothlorien can I borrow some of yours?

@Mark-Kamibaya Ahhh yes the he/she thing drives me nuts. 😛

The main point is: People are more interested in making a statement than actually wanting to gain their rights.

Yes, I know completely what you mean.

Women’s rights is biblical. What I understand is that you identify the term feminism with the hardcore die-hard feminists. And I can h…[Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya You like The Last Goodbye even though the movie was ruined for you? Wul good!
I was hoping so badly for a nice credit song, after hearing I See Fire on the second Hobbit movie (which I only listen to so I can laugh at how awful it is, and because I like the instrumentals. Apologies to anyone who likes that song… 😛 ), and I was so…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper: Read scripts! You can probably find some online. Like @mark-kamibaya said, learn the format, and create an outline. I know most movie scripts are center-justified, instead of left-justified, like a play script or novel. I would recommend starting by writing a short film, to familiarize yourself with the format and process of…[Read more]

@mark-kamibaya Well, I’m used to being the director for the plays I write, so that explains some of my comments. 😛

And I wasn’t talking about explaining EVERYTHING with dialogue; basically, I meant that a lot of times background information that may not be said in real-life since the people already know what’s going on will oftentimes somehow…[Read more]

@mark-kamibaya Sounds interesting! My dad is the pastor of a village church here and teaches seminary students a few times each year 🙂

Wow guys, what a discussion going on here. 😀 I shall add my two cent’s worth in a moment, but first, there is a very important matter I must attend to. *pushes spectacles severely up bridge of nose*
@Dragon-Snapper. Can you or can you not breathe like Gollum does.

Now that that’s out of the way… have any of you guys noticed that we’re all…[Read more]

@jess Yes, I think that a downfall in most modern writers these days is that the villain side of them always wins. We need to be that light by emphasizing that what is evil is evil and what is good is good.
@corissa-maiden-of-praise … Yeah, what have I begun? It doesn’t have to be only scary stuff though, it can be the good stuff to. Actually,…[Read more]
