@Kina-Lamb *startled smile* Thank you! I’m planning to give it a major revision here pretty soon… but I’m glad to hear you like it already. 🙂 That’s really encouraging.

Oh, and @Kina-Lamb

I am also writing my own story – a children’s story. I think it’s important that the books children read are wholesome and productive, and it’s hard to find books like that these days. I also think that they should be interesting enough that anyone of any age would enjoy reading it.

This. You do this, and you will have my…[Read more]

@Kina-Lamb ha! 😀 I actually don’t remember where I first saw it… but I’ve always loved the picture, and when I first joined the forum it was just the obvious choice. 😉

@I-J-Anderson *gapes*
Wowwwwwww… those are amazing. You do so well with the bodily proportions— I’ve always struggled with that. Great work.

@audrey-caylin Nice work with those characters. I like the form of poetic justice that you’re using with Holly by allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions. And then role models like Skye are always great for protagonists to have.

@jane-maree Good setup there. I think I got the basic gist of it. Great way to use examples to develop a character arc.

@jane-maree Yep. Often we look up to people precisely because they’ve been able to grow a lot in the past. Great examples!

@overcomer I think either could work. You could make one the primary theme and the other a major supporting theme, or you could say they’re the same theme viewed from opposite angles. Your theme could then be purpose with the focusing question of “How do you discover and embrace your destiny?”, or, from another angle, the theme could be…[Read more]

@overcomer Don’t worry about it! Glad to hear you’ve been learning so much from it. 🙂

Welcome to the forum @Kina-Lamb! Great to see more family members on the site. 🙂

@Kina-Lamb welcome to the bestistest place on the internet! *shakes your hand enthusiastically* So glad to have you here. And it’s late and my brain is fried or I would say something more creative…
But welcome again. I hope you stick around and learn a lot of cool, useful stuff. 🙂
This forum can always use another Lamb.
I’ll be seeing you around. 😀

@arella-noreen Haha! I’ll take that in creepiest, stalkerish way I can then. 😉 It certainly is true about writers tho… Just as long as you never admit to someone that you modeled that character after them!

@Arella-Noreen I like it! *thumbs up* Lots of great story material there. What’s your favorite poem? Mine is probably Tolkien’s Mythopoeia. All of Tolkien’s work, really, but that one especially. 😉

Wow guys, there are no words for the awesomeness of this topic. Fellow word-root lovers— group hug! 😀

@DelightInLife I don’t have time right now to do as long a post as I could, but starting out, I basically figured out what kind of feel/culture I wanted the name to belong to/have, then went and searched on Google ‘old…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum @arella-noreen! Great to have you with us. I like the premise of your novel–superhero novels are really fun. Have you read Into the Fire or Steelheart? Both are pretty fun superhero stories, especially the former.

I’m late, but welcome to KP @Arella-Noreen! Sounds like you and I have a lot in common (my INFP personality type aside 😉 ). I was born in Texas, adore poetry, write fantasy and sci-fi, homeschooled and proud of it, etc. etc. and all the rest. *grins*
Can you tell us a little bit about your book? It sounds neat, from what @Rolena-Hatfield said.

Same here. *thumbs up to all the peoples*

@Ethryndal thanks. 🙂

@I-J-Anderson were you going to show us some of your Insanity Jane art? Pretty please?
