@ethryndal Yeah, I’m beginning to wonder if you may be able to handle this easier if you had a slightly-different theme and focusing question. “God’s Gifts” may work better as a complementary theme to a different primary theme that’s slightly broader to be able to handle more of these different themes. Something like “the highest value in life”…[Read more]

@graciegirl Seems like the message is a bit vague. What does it mean to weigh it against what we know is right? Does that mean it’s a wisdom issue and sometimes we should value the heart over what we know is right? Does it mean that we should always value what we know is right over the heart? Or is there a complimentary relationship between heart…[Read more]

@DaughteroftheKing Bravo! You’ve survived your advice-giving baptism. What you said was very good. Keep at it.

Very sound advice, @DaughteroftheKing. 🙂

You said cheesecake on purpose. *scowls*

That aside… EVERYTHING IS AWESOME. You already know what I think of this story so I won’t do a full meltdown here. But guys, Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairytale, and this is just… I love it so much. You should definitely read it.

@Ethryndal fellow elf, now you know me. XD

@The-Happy-Bookaholic Confession… I’m not on here as much as I’d like either, due to work and time, so I’m not terribly sure who is all active. I picked the names I recognized as friends from when I used to be on here more. 🙂

@aratrea Emolas’s EiL is love, same as Lotch, but unlike her, he actually knows it. She sort of lives it without realizing.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. I still don’t think ‘God’s Gifts’ is quite right, but I’m having trouble figuring out what else to call it. And Sley is FAR from being finished.

@Emma-Flournoy *stares blankly* Yeah!

@emma-flournoy Pfft. *waves hand dismissively* Words, holes, it’s all the same.

@kate-flournoy I love how the three characters you picked (or wanted to pick) are all villains. XD

Great points, @Ethryndal.

@DelightinLife everything @Daeus said. 😛

I will add that you probably shouldn’t worry too much about developing your own voice, because it will develop by itself as you grow in confidence and knowledge. Especially if you focus in on the more nitty gritty aspects of writing, like the prose itself— what makes prose delightful and engaging; what…[Read more]

@delightinlife I think Style is just a broader sense of Voice. Voice is the personality behind the writing, and Style is the form used to broadcast that personality. Styles are like simplistic, or dark, or poetic, and within those styles, the writer has their voice, which makes the broad style more personal.

@DelightinLife wow… that is an impossible question. :”D

Top three favorite books… Well, I’m going to go with stories because one’s a trilogy. *winkwink* Les Miserables,…[Read more]

@rolena-hatfield Because saluting seems to be the thing to do… *salutes*

@Hope Hilariously, I had downloaded it five minutes before you posted this. The timing. XD

@hope Ooh thanks! My sister is super excited!
