*drags self over by hands, clawing against the dusty road* Must…reply… *collapses*
Ahem…anyway. You can ignore that. 😛
SFR-P2 Eureka!!! Wow! I never thought of genres that way. They are changing quite often, especially in popularity. New ones are popping up often. As of now, the most popular one seems to be dystopian. You could say that…[Read more]

@hope Do you schedule yourself a time for each?

Oh, and the red tailed hawk.

@perfectfifths Well, I’m not crazy about birds, but I do go birdwatching from time to time. My favorite birds that I’ve seen so far are the Scarlet Tanager, Indigo Bunting and the Bald Eagle. Then I also love the Carolina Wren. 😀

@lifeofkatie Ah, gotcha. It’s always nice to have something in memory cause that way if someone comes along and sticks a guitar in your hand and says, “Hey. Randomly play something impressive,” you can do that. 😛 Which songs do you like to memorize? The few fingerstyle songs I have memorized are Fur Elise, the Swallowtail Jig, Misty Mountains,…[Read more]

@daeus Mmm…no…but it does have the drama that Luke adds.
😀

@jess-penrose Ah, I haven’t read Children of Hurin yet. Maybe I’ll do that this summer. Is it good?
What? You learn elvish at school!!!!!! Mmmmm…now I’m jealous.
It’s…ah well, I’m not really sure which form. It’s from the Hobbit. I translated the inscription and pretty much just memorized the alphabet. I can’t speak it, though. I think I’ll…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I’m guessing it’s from Luke Skywalker.

@jess-penrose I’m really late her, but I just wanted to say hi and I’ve enjoyed this thread. 🙂

@dragon-snapper I generally edit the book and start the next one at the same time. I like to have several projects going for that reason. I can brainstorm one, write a second, and edit a third. Of course, it doesn’t always work out that way. I’m rewriting two books right now, but as a general rule it works well for me. 😉

@winter-rose I was ready for a break as well. I edited about a page and and a half.

@winter-rose Coolio!

@winter-rose @daeus @kate-flournoy @jess @ethryndal *grabs unmelted phone* I’ll be editing if anyone is out there.

@winter-rose Ah…do you get to ride the horses at the stable?

Hmmm…the only foils I can think of at the moment are Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester. Similar people wanting the same thing (marrying each other, obviously), but he was willing to ignore morals and his conscience to obtain that goal, and she was not. What I like about them is that often times in books, it seems like the foil characters are right and…[Read more]

Okay, so it has come to my attention that my theme is not the Intrinsic Worth of Humanity—otherwise known as Racism, though I really didn’t want to admit that one to myself—but actually God’s Gifts (trying to find a better name, but my mind’s going blank), with a focusing question of What is the most important gift God has given us? Liriel’s…[Read more]

@lifeofkatie I’ll cheat and welcome you twice. WELCOME TWICE! We’re all slightly crazy over here, but if you know the Flournoys, you’re probably already aware of that. 😛 Can’t wait to see you around!
