@jane-maree @bethanysinkyroses Not to take this conversation down a bit of a rabbit trail, but how often do you tend to meet with your mentors and what type of help do they tend to give you that you find most helpful?

The KP staff is currently in a lot of talks about what kind of new initiatives to consider taking on moving forward and providing…[Read more]

@Graceofspades2017 whoa! 😛 This looks like something I would normally love to do, but unfortunately I don’t have the time or mental energy right now. 😛

Let me tag some others for you though.

@perfectfifths I think that’s a great example here of a negative arc and how catharsis works in it! Because Wormwood doesn’t seem to get worse over the course of the story, it’s probably a combination of a flat and a negative arc for him.

@Dragon-Snapper uhhh… hm. Is… would it be possible to simply skip the titles altogether and simply let it be implied in their relationship? Or is it too much of a systemic thing?
And I may or may not have just had a minor heart-attack trying to imagine myself as an ESTJ… *shivers* XD

@Ryanna good question. I have no idea. XD Plot is not my strong point either. I shall quietly stalk this topic and learn all I can.

@LifeofKatie yep. I need to study this some more as well.
Thanks for getting us thinking, @His-Instrument. 😀
@Jadamae good point…

@LifeofKatie mm… though see now, I’m not entirely sure that was wrong, in Aragorn’s case.
Hm.
*raises eyebrows* Clearly I still have some thinking to do. 😛

@dragon-snapper Fantastic–sounds like a solid length right there with plenty of room to expand if needed. 🙂

@His-Instrument excellent example. I’ll just point back to what I said in my first post about consequences for every action, good and bad. Did Jean Valjean save Cosette’s life by assuming a name (and history) that was not his own? Possibly. Very probably.
Could God have saved her life anyway if Valjean had told the absolute truth? Yes.…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper YASSSS!!! 😀 Congrats! What’s the finished word count?

@His-Instrument yeah. What he said.

@His-Instrument great questions.

My first thought is that comparing the practice of using an alias to protect one’s life to pretending madness is a little extreme. For one, your name is not who you are. It’s just what people call you. ‘By their fruit you shall know them’, not ‘by their name’.
That said, I believe it’s a fair question and…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 which one?

@Allison-Grace *sniffs* They already said it all.
I’ll just second what @Daeus said; you can have as many themes as you think will work, so long as they’re all related and complement each other. For instance, if your primary theme is honesty, your supporting themes could be telling the truth in love and/or telling the truth even when it’s ugly.…[Read more]

@Ethryndal definitely.
