Ah, this is a great topic, @Daeus. I know EXACTLY what you’re talking about— only I never had to go through the transition you’re going through now. My books always started as movies in my head— a visual reference to set down on paper, and I wrote it as I saw it, not as I thought it ‘ought to be written’, if you know what I mean.

I don’t…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy: Now THAT would be something. 😛

@Daeus: Thanks so much for sharing this! I’ve never really thought about it before, but the example you gave makes a lot of sense. The second example really sucks you into the story because you feel like you’re a part of the story. Like I said, I’ve never really thought about that before. I’ll have to look out for “textbook writing” in my…[Read more]

So cute, @sarah-h. Tell your little brother ‘well done.’

A merry, cheerful old uncle who wins the heart of his glum, sour, peevish young niece.

And a fantasy uncle (brother to the king and uncle to the prince) who is NOT a usurper. 😛

Ooh… that would be something @Joy-Schmidt. 😀

Good thoughts, everyone. 🙂

Oh @writefury those last two—! Oh man, you need to write those. That would be beyond hilarious.

Or even explaining what a video is! 🙂
My youngest sister adores the old Cinderella. I love the new Cinderella movie. (The acted out one.) Have you seen it? If not, you should. It is great. 😛

The rain lashed down on my ship. I stood with my paws braced on the deck. Rats scurried around me, fastening things. One of them, the boatswain, slipped on the slippery deck and took a nose dive. He glanced up to find me watching him.
“Capt’n, we need to drop anchor. We are going to die if we continue.”
“Nonsense,” I roared back over the noise of…[Read more]

An elephant who just loves mice.

That is so cute @rolena-hatfield. Have you seen the movie Dumbo? That has an elephant who likes a mouse called Timothy. Sweet movie.:)

@anna-brie Are you interested in writing to each other? I can get Kelly to send you my email address if you want.

Yes, @Belegteleri, totally agree! 🙂 Saying that a man can sincerely serve a false god (nothing more than a delusion of his own erring human brain) and through it serve the one true God in Whom he does not believe is the height of arrogant ignorance.

I’ll hold you to that. 😉

“I would throw up water so that the light of the torch would catch it.” 🙂
Confession: My sister is Kelly Just. She told me that she met you but I hadn’t made the connection.
And I’d heard the answer via my siblings.
Isn’t it a small world??? 😛 @anna-brie

Fluvial geomorphologist is someone who is devoted to understanding rivers, both in their natural setting as well as how they respond to human-induced changes in a watershed. 😛 😛 😛
How did you know about it @anna-brie? I had to google it to find out. I’d never have thought of it if someone had asked me. 😀 My knowledge is not that great.

Oops…[Read more]

I do— it’s just I’ve been a tad busy! 😉 😛
Here goes.

‘… so she stuffed it in the trashcan and went to have a bite to eat at Chick-fil-a, because that’s how life works.’

My apologies, I think I’m feeling a little bit cynical today. 😛

Write a short scene that includes this snippet of dialogue:

“You’re crazy.”
“No— just…[Read more]

It looks like no one wants to play anymore @writefury. 🙁 🙁 🙁
It was a great game though. 😛
