*pokes topic*
I’ve got something new to say on this. So… *shouts into megaphone* WAKE UP EVERYBODY AND PUT YOUR THINKING CAPS ON!!!!
Thank you. Glad to have secured your attention.
It’s a very simple point, actually, and more on the specific discussion of actual character conversions than Christian fiction in general, but I thought it was…[Read more]

@reaganramm Try this @kate-flournoy for Reagan’s tag.
And yes, I’ve got the same problem too. -

“Ashlynn!” a voice shouts from behind. “Watch out for-” I’m knocked unconscious before the voice can finish it’s sentence.
Maybe here you could describe how the character was knocked unconscious more…for example, you could say, “I felt something hard strike the back of my head, and everything went black.” Or something like that. 🙂

Hm… the biggest problem to me seems to be the rushed flow of it @adry_grace. Also, the characters have zero personality. You know ’em because you’ve seen whatever it is they’re from, and it’s cool to you to have them in these situations because you know them and it’s fun to think how they would react, but I as a reader not familiar with the…[Read more]

Hey @rramm, just thought I’d give you a heads up that there’s a glitch in the system— when I click on my name it takes me to a 404 error message, and I just clicked on yours to make sure I got your tag right and I couldn’t reach that either. No rush— just letting you know there’s a problem. 🙂

@rolena-hatfield, It is a lot of fun. We actually have performances for the True Story of the Three Little Pigs this week! 😀
My favorite musicals are Les Miserables and Wicked. Do you have a favorite musical/show? Ooo, Mary Poppins! That sounds like fun. 🙂 -

Hahaha… guess what guys, I just found out that one of my villains is an ESTP…
… and so is an incredibly vain pygmy dragon who belongs to one of my MC’s (Arianwen, @writefury— from the ‘Inter-genre Island’ thread) as a pet.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Sorrow and Death in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 7 months ago
Oh yes, Boromir, definitely. Both sacrificial and redemptive.
Come to think of it, Thorin’s death as well, @hope, though in the movie. The one in the book wasn’t all that impressive.
Thorin’s death was neither sacrificial nor redemptive, and so it was more bitter than, say, Sydney Carton’s death in A Tale of Two Cities, but it worked because he…[Read more] -

Yes. That death. Totally that death. It’s not just that he sacrificed his life, either— he sacrificed his reputation. See @hope, the MC had just been framed for a crime he didn’t commit and no one could prove he hadn’t committed it. So the MC’s…[Read more]

Hey, I like that. I would totally read that @writefury. Keep me on your list for potential beta readers— again, can’t promise anything because my schedule—correction: my LIFE is so unpredictable. But keep me on your list. 😀
Well, as for Quinn, the usual hardships for a slave— especially the ‘taking orders unconditionally’ bit, which will…[Read more]

1. Have you heard of/read/seen the Divergent series? They were OK books. In the last book, though, a character dies, and that’s probably the saddest death I’ve read in a book. I was literally bawling.
2. I think what made it so sad was that this character sacrificed her life so that her brother wouldn’t die. If the character dies for a noble…[Read more] -

Welllll… the first thing that comes to mind is a little odd, and taking Finnian a bit further than you were perhaps planning. It would involve following two story lines at once, but it’s the first thing that came to mind so I’ll share it.
Quinn gets captured by the pirates and is forced into slavery or something, and Finnian tries to find him…[Read more]
