I was going to make the point that @mark-kamibaya did; I don’t think listening to that music would be wrong, but you should be willing to give it up if it would cause another person to stumble.

@mark-kamibaya, @jane-maree Yes, I agree. There is the association that, say, someone who watched the show and then stopped might have. Such a person probably wouldn’t be able to enjoy the music as music. And like @daeus mentioned, that is a case one would honor the ‘weaker brother’. In most cases though, as a general rule, I agree with what…[Read more]

@daeus Thank you! The way you explained voice really made a lot of sense!

@ethryndal Thank you!

@kate-flournoy Thank you. What actually sparked the question was that I randomly thought of something my English teacher had said on our requirements for when we were writing our Short Stories last month and I was curious to see what you all would…[Read more]

Hey people. *tips hat grinningly*
There’s this book I just read called Eats, Shoots and Leaves, by Lynn Truss. It’s non-fiction—about punctuation. But it’s not a long or dull read at all, and is funny and very informative/helpful. Especially for people like writers who’d use punctuation more than usual. 😉
The only objection would be: it has a…[Read more]

Hello everybody tagged below!

I’ve got a bunch of unfinished drafts of stories (plus the finished draft for the Pilot for Aquila) and I was wondering if any of you would like to alpha-read some of them (and, perhaps, beta-read the finished draft). I need input on what I’m working on because I’ve got some stories I’m stuck on.

So, for those of…[Read more]

@gretald, @bluejay, @writefury, @daeus, @hannah-olsen, @mark-kamibaya, @Sarah-H, @kate-flournoy, @emma-flournoy, @dragon-snapper, @michael-stanton

I know this topic has kind of gone dead, but I was wondering if y’all could give me some advice and ideas. I’m currently writing this song about rebelling against the culture and sticking to God’s…[Read more]

@mark-kamibaya Yay! 🙂

@mark-kamibaya Yes they are totally worth it. Do You Believe is not a funny movie, but it’s still really good. But I think What If is even better. 🙂

@mark-kamibaya Yeah, it was really good! I enjoyed it. BUT I like Do You Believe better. And What If. Have you seen them? They’re amazing. (And What If is hilarious. It’s about this millionaire guy who-AND I’m going to stop right there before I spoil the plot. Long story short: it’s hilarious.) Have you seen either of those?

@mark-kamibaya What’s an indie?
@ethryndal I know. The only thing protecting me now are my dragon instincts….and the fact that I’m not alone. I side with @daeus. 😀
@kate-flournoy Well, about the arcs, one reason I didn’t really see them was because they seemed to happen so fast. It didn’t seem like Cassian cared about anything then suddenly…[Read more]

@mark-kamibaya Perhaps I should, but I haven’t seen it in a month or two, so if I did, it probably won’t be that wonderful. XD

@kate-flournoy *wipes tear from eye* You captured that movie perfectly.

@mark-kamibaya I was just rephrasing what you said. All the points go to you. 😛

I have been tagged.
Again.
Which is fantastic, because even though I don’t find a lot of time to spend here, this is the topic I want to spend it in. Also, I think that my lack of actually showing up for this discussion has made me into something of a legend. (@Mark-Kamibaya “master of science fiction” Thanks, that’s really sweet of you but…[Read more]

@mark-kamibaya I did like it. I thought it was very simple without being boring. Because I tend to overthink things, the simplicity of a movie, without having to have Marvel-like chases and things like that. What did you think of it?

@mark-kamibaya Oh, boy. This’ll be hard to explain. 😛

So, a cliche, being what it is clearly has to come from some idea, and that idea is or isn’t a cliche. If it is a cliche, then clearly it came from somewhere, then you have a bunch of cliches within cliches. But if you change the definition of cliche, then they are all original, but they have…[Read more]
