… After skimming over this, I’m beginning to think that cliches are just paradoxes.

@mark-kamibaya Thanks for putting this together!
“The literature of the human species encountering change.” I see why this caught your eye. I never considered Sci-Fi that way. Really, I always thought it was a fiction of technology and extraordinary things. Star wars kind of thing, if you know what I mean. 😛
But certainly, just writing s…[Read more]

@hope @kate-flournoy @jess @bluejay @christi-eaton Did anyone else see that they’re making a Ranger’s Apprentice movie?

@Mark-Kamibaya I know. 😛 One tiny bit over the limit and my brain is guaranteed to be fried for the rest of the day. XD
Hey, it’s all good. It wasn’t irritating; or if it was I didn’t notice. I’m not thin-skinned enough to be irritated by other people’s strongly stated opinions. 😉 Perhaps I should be more sensible of that… 😛

@winter-rose Weird cats are the best. How old was she?

LOL! 😀 It’s hilarious how easily our brains can become mush. And I realize I came off a bit strong so, sorry if anybody got irritated or anything. Either way, you guys showed me how I need to clarify things in my writing. My main point definitely wasn’t that clear. I’ll probably update the article and tweak it a bit before I send out my monthly…[Read more]

Sci-Fi Research Part 1

So the first thing I did was research what science fiction actually is. I looked for a whole bunch of definitions. Many went something like “science fiction is a genre that deals with futuristic science and technology” or “it’s merely a setting.” Personally, I found the “dealing with technology” definition to be quite…[Read more]

@Winter-Rose aww thank you!! *flails*

@Winter-Rose okay! Night night! 😀

@Winter-Rose Eek. No I haven’t, so it’s kind of terrifying and exciting at the same time. 😀
Oh yes, I know what you mean, definitely.

@Winter-Rose THANK YOU!! *flails*

@Winter-Rose It does!!! I’m almost ready to send it to my amazing alphas. 😀

@Winter-Rose yep. Rogue Escarlate. 😛 I’m editing the synopsis specifically, right now.

@Winter-Rose I’m editing.

@Dragon-Snapper what @FeedingMyGoldfish said. 😀
I’m afraid I know next to nothing about singing at all— I just love to do it and so I do, and I’ve learned along the way. I did look up a few tutorials on breath control starting out, but otherwise it’s all just been trial and error— and practice. *evil smile*
I guess if I had one piece of…[Read more]

@clairec @feedingmygoldfish @kate-flournoy @all the singers
Hi guys! So, I’m trying to teach myself to sing. Do you guys know where I should start?

@Mark-Kamibaya my apologies. 😉 I was also operating on a low battery when I wrote that, so it’s probably not as clear as it could have been.
You got it though. And you’re right, I didn’t realize that was what you’re saying, and if that’s the case there’s no debate, because I totally agree. 😛

@kate-flournoy @graciegirl @that_writer_girl_99

Personally, I think I didn’t write the article very well, because you’re not getting my main point. Lemme break down what I was trying to say in this article.

In the beginning, I sided with the belief that cliches are . . . well, the devil. Then, I defined a cliche as anything so overused it…[Read more]

Yay! This is gonna start some (lively) discussions.

@kate-flournoy I admit I was confused by your response. A little worried but more confused. @that_writer_girl_99 gave a popular explanation. Then, @graciegirl clarified it for me a little more. But I’m still quite confused (maybe it’s because I lack sleep, but whatevs).

From what I understand,…[Read more]

Woah, guess this forum thing likes me.
