@Leon-Fleming upon further reflection, I realize I must apologize. I have been arguing for the sake of it and not because I have something constructive to say. And you are correct that I have been stating opinion as fact. You clearly have me beat on your knowledge of poetry and I really don’t have a leg to stand on so I concede to you. Yes, all…[Read more]

@Leon-Fleming well I said it probably wasn’t the correct definition. Ok so that clears things up a bit. Personally, I still wouldn’t class it as poetry but until I become president of some world wide literary organization something-or-other, there isn’t much I can do about it. XD

I really think that we are saying basically the same things, but…[Read more]

@Leon-Fleming ha! Well that’s true in a sense although I don’t often find occasion to talk about Truffala Trees or Sneeds or Rare Who Roast Beast. XD

When I say prose I am referring to anything classed as poetry without rhyme. Haiku’s, for example. I am sure I am probably giving things a broader coverage than they deserve but that’s how I…[Read more]

@Leon-Fleming lol ok, so I see it as cheating to simply make up words to rhyme with the one you are using. Find a real word or change the word you are rhyming with. At the same time, the very things I think he was a cheat for I also see as quite brilliant. If you can’t find a word, make one! Confusing, I know.

I can certainly see why you…[Read more]

@Leon-Fleming well calculus was created during a pandemic so…

Ah, because the literary snob in me says that prose is cheating in the same way that Dr. Seuse was equally cheating and a genius by making up words to rhyme with. In my mind, if it is labeled poetry it should rhyme and you should have had to suffer a bit to create it. 😜 Just kidding…[Read more]

@Leon-Fleming hehe who is overly fond of math? XD

I see what you are saying. I am afraid I have never read any of Tolkien’s works but I think I get the idea.

Its an interesting concept. I have a bit of a prejudice against prose (ok, ok a big prejudice, blame the snob in me) but it would be interesting to see both mixed together. Perhaps sometime…[Read more]

@Leon-Fleming wow that sounds really involved. It seems like you got all the math worked out for it. I have never heard of somebody writing a novel in poetry. I am curious, is this in rhyming poetry or prose?

@Leon-Fleming you are right. NaNoWriMo in November is supposed to help you write like 50k words in a month or something by writing 2k a day. I am talking about camp NaNoWriMo in April and July which are supposed to help you get on track and practice writing that much for November. July isn’t as strict as November.

Thanks, @devastate-lasting good luck with your writing schedule!

@kathleenramm

To read: Plot twist!!! Though I also love a good dialogue or description. And suspense in a story will definitely keep me reading, especially if I’m trying to figure things out along with the main character rather than knowing what’s going on and simply pleading with the main character to FIGURE IT OUT ALREADY. XD

To write: I enjoy…[Read more]

@leon-fleming

. . . Can you come up with a different quest?? Tallest tower + mountain dew doesn’t really fit the job description. XD *at least I hope it doesn’t*

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin My apologies. Spy just seems to fit well with assassin.

@leon-fleming YES food! Once, long ago, raspberries and ice cream were the most important and precious commodities of this kingdom (besides writings).

Indeed! Justice for the Bumbling Henchmen! *stares into the setting sun* you are destined for greatness. *nods sagely*

Now if I recall correctly, Chosen Ones like Anakin Skywalker, Frodo Baggins, Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen…. and many more …well, we don’t have the easiest time of it. Enjoy being Henchmen while you can. o . o

*pursues…[Read more]

lol no problem. I’ve had my share of hijacking threads. 😉

Hi there!
So, you like Tøp? SAMEEEE which is your favorite song?? Mine is probably Trees. 😛

@not-so-secret-assassin

Well, then not-so-secret-assin XDD Welcome to the kingdom!! Hopefully you’ll enjoy the snacks and won’t feel the need to spy on us too much. 😀 We have lots of ice cream and raspberries around here.

Hi @kathleenramm !!

Sushi. Yes, that. (except not the raw stuff). What do you like to write?? Personally, I like writing sci-fi. 😀

Huh, even tho you all tagged me my email refused to tell me. :///

@josiahdeboerofficial Hey I remember you too! XDDD Good to see you again!

@dekreel HELLOOOO!! Nope, not an ENFJ anymore. I’m joining the ENFP club. 😉

@leon-fleming Hey! See you were close with Educated Natural Flipping Pancake. But look at what you’ve done. Now I want a pancake.…[Read more]
