Northerner

@Northerner Exactly, I know. 😛

Cool @Emily! We have quite a few violinists on here. Yep, I play piano too. You?

@Mariposa I can understand better about watermelon and coconut. I like them (and love coconut), but I can see how someone wouldn’t. Hardly so with mint. 😉

Whoo-hoo! *high-five* Yep, me too. I have a couple allies, but I’m for most…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking I’m beta-reading a story for @northerner at the moment.
@emily Thankee kindly. 😛

@Mariposa How could you hate mint. D: BUT if finding toothpaste is that much of a problem, just use baking soda. *nodnod* That’s what we use part of the time; baking soda with peppermint oil mixed in, but you could skip the oil. That would taste real good. *grimace*
Also, Thesaurus dinosaurs are a very good kind too.

@Northerner Hey, my eyes are…[Read more]

@northerner that is so neat! I have a friend with an eye that is literally 7/8 brownish green, and 1/8 blue

@emily really! I decided that I wanted to be one when I was like 11 ( 😛 ) what state are you in? 😀 Also are you and Shannon sisters?

@dragon-snapper I’m not stealing your idea, don’t worry. But yeah. On another thread. Probably.

@northerner Haha, cool. I can work with that.

@ethryndal …wow. That’s… how much BBC tv do you watch, anyway? *snorts* I can work with that.

@dragon-snapper I’m not stealing your idea, don’t worry. But yeah. On another thread. Probably.

@northerner Haha, cool. I can work with that.

@ethrynal …wow. That’s… how much BBC tv do you watch, anyway? *snorts* I can work with that.

Everything @Northerner and @perfectfifths said! It can also depend on what genre you’re writing, what kind of resources you use, how much research you do…

Historical: This genre usually has a lot of research to make it period accurate, so a lot of authors include works cited as a kind of… credentials? Proof they did their research and know…[Read more]

@Northerner and @perfectfifths

Okay thank you! I hate citing works (for some reason it’s hard for me) so that is a relief.
I think I’ll probably keep a list of books/websites for future reference thanks for the idea!

You guys are the bestistest, you know that? XD

@Daeus
Those are really good thoughts on what Jesus suffered. And, great point: think it through. I will. In fact, I know where I’m gonna look first. I just finished reading through Hebrews the night before last, and I was blown away by how it laid out the reasons for why Jesus had to die on the…[Read more]

@Salome01w4g lots of people use Ancestry for researching family history and I’ve heard its very good, though I haven’t actually used it myself. Other than that, @Northerner has some really good tips which I completely agree with. I’m not really up there in American history, is the Revolutionary War the war for independence from England? I have an…[Read more]

@Northerner would you consider Ancestry.com a reputable place for research? I found a few articles there

@Northerner first I had to go look up what anachronistic meant …. XD
about 4 chapters (well I’m in the fourth chapter) My Protagonist is preparing to leave for America, so I’m researching life on a British military ship and life in England at the very beginning of the war.
I’ll give a bit of a run down on what my story is like

A young woman…[Read more]

@Northerner Thank you and thank you! I completely stopped writing for a couple months because I felt like I hit a brick wall with research. Thank you for the advice!

@Salome01w4g Hmm… not myself, but we do have a few historical fiction authors on here, so let me do some tagging for you.
@MarkMcGuire @WarrioroftheRealm @Northerner (though I realize your stuff is a lot older; still, any researching tips?).

@northerner *nods*
I have done the thing for the thing. The thing is done.

@northerner I like how you called me ‘The’ Dragon Snapper.
Question about the contact page, it says I need to add a comment. Will that go on the website, or will it simply be sent to you?
If you want, we can also exchange emails by KP’s email. Your email does not have to go on the site. (and now the word email is overused) 😛
