@that_writer_girl_99 *throws hammer at your washer* There we go. All fixed. *rains washable glitter*

@That_Writer_Girl_99 okay so first of all, I read through the posts that I did last night and realized my brain must have been working on a low battery because they were very scattered, so thank you for sticking with me. 😛

How much do you know about character arcs?

And while I wait for you to answer that question, we can have a little talk…[Read more]

@feedingmygoldfish Ah…it’s quite complicated actually. I did some minor singing for a children’s group when I was a lot younger, then for a while I didn’t do much singing. Now, I only sing with guitar. However, I have no training, and I don’t do it regularly either. But there’s a problem when I sing as a dragon. I tend to melt stuff. 😛

@FeedingMyGoldfish nice! That’s great that your mom could teach you. My mom taught me piano and basically began my musical ‘career’. 😉
I don’t see why it wouldn’t be called ornamentation.

What do you primarily like to sing?
I have preferences, but if I’m honest I’ll pretty much sing anything that has the faintest suggestion of a good tune, with…[Read more]

@moriahs Ok; cool. I think that you could turn protecting a family heritage into a meaningful plot if you showed why achieving that goal was important to the MC’s personal development. That being said, if your goal with your story is to show the costliness of freedom, I agree that a different central plotline would be better to display that theme.…[Read more]

Okay so I’m curious. How many singers do we have on here, and how many of those actually have some vocal training?
I don’t. 😛 I sing because I love it and I can’t help it. Several years ago I looked up some basic mechanics tutorials on Youtube and learned about proper breathing and voice control, but that’s about it.

Is there an intended use for this topic @clairec

I shall tag the singers: @kate-flournoy @ethryndal @that_writer_girl_99 @daeus 😛
Now, the Dragon hardly sings. I know nothing about it. 😀

Oh yeah, and she could work at the arm during the day, then maybe have to work at a factory or something at night.

@moriahS If you want her to be taking part in more than just farming, which can be a lot just in itself, then there are several things I can think of from the top of my head. I know that in WWII, women often went to work in factories and other shops because most of the men went to war. They also knit socks and built things for the entire army.…[Read more]

Just letting you all know, that I have gotten your replies, and love them all!
I will get back to you if I have time, but for now know that your responses are appreciated. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 :)…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien,
I wrote words to one of my pieces for my fast-approaching piano exam. The words are based off a movie my sisters and I made. The music was our theme song at the time, but it only instrumental. 🙂

In those past days,
we used to lie in pastures green,
And we stayed, by the flowing stream,
there we played.
We never knew those…[Read more]

Here you are @daeus. 🙂
I’m B3 to C6. I think that makes me a soprano… 🙂 I would guess so, my favourite thing to sing is opera.
Hey, you should all take this. Meanwhile, I’ll start a topic called ‘Singing.’ It’s under music…

@Dragon-snapper @that_writer_girl_99 I’m a tad late but someone mentioned motivational pizza sooo. *gives you both platefuls for next time you have a writing session*

@moriahs Are you looking for additional plot lines because you’re worried that protecting a fortune isn’t meaningful enough to carry a whole plot, or are you looking for additional plot lines because the story is too lean, and it needs more things happening in it? Not sure which you’re wrestling over.

@christi-eaton *materializes for like ten seconds* Yes, yes I do love to hate the ending of La La Land. It’s poetic and masterful, but I still hate it. *dematerializes*

@ethryndrl Shhhhhh!!! Why ya gotta go and rat me out for the confetti? *ten pages late*

@That_writer_girl_99 @MoriahS Ha, I see my reputation has spread. XD *rains purple glitter across the room* Don’t worry, it washes out.
