@that_writer_girl_99 @emma-flournoy @kate-flournoy Oh yes, Kate’s done that to me too. *shudders* I was staring blankly at my document and feeling discouragement seep through me, when all of a sudden this little window popped up and (I swear, in the creepiest voice imaginable) said, “Hello, Sarah.” I thought the computer KNEW MY NAME and was…[Read more]

@Emma-Flournoy I bow to your superior knowledge of facts. XD You’re probably right.

@Rachelle thanks for the info. 🙂

@That_Writer_Girl_99 okie dokie cool. 😀

@that_writer_girl_99 @graciegirl I’m headed out now. I edited 2 and 1/2 pages. Thanks all!

@That_Writer_Girl_99 love to, but I’m writing now too and I’ve promised myself I’m gonna finish this pivotal battle scene before bed.

@that_writer_Girl_99 @jane-maree @daeus @jess @jenali @winter-rose @ethryndal @graciegirl @northerner I’ll be editing, and I may do a little bit of brainstorming and or writing….I’ll be doing something. 😛

@bethanysinkyroses I’ll second what Daeus said about the importance of characters who journey from darkness to light. I’ll also say that I dislike the current trend in fiction where parents are incompetent and merely obstacles in the protagonist’s path. =P

That being said, I don’t think writing perfect parents is a good solution to that problem…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy The question is whether you prefer Rogue One or The Force Awakens?
Has anyone seen The Secret Life of Walter Mitty?

@bethanysinkyroses Quick answer: It’s okay to portray anyone unrealistically.

Long answer:

I think what’s going on in your example (not having read it) is that the author is trying to shine the spotlight on Christianity by making it idealistic in their story.

This isn’t really doing what they think it is though. The spotlight is focused in…[Read more]

@Winter-Rose yesss. Are you on Nadine’s Ninja team?
