@daeus Ho boy, that’ll be interesting. 😛
@emma-flournoy *smeagol voice* Yeesss. Moooree. I’m going to love writing this.
@jane-maree Hahaha!
@aysia-serene I like anything. 😛
@ethryndal Hehehe! Rogue spaceships vs. People watching a doorway. For some reason I can imagine a cat watching a doorway too.
@winter-rose Thanks! I can’t wait to…[Read more]

@kina-lamb Fantastical? Who knows? 😛
Okay, maybe an unusually large cat attacks him. He is mobbed by owls. Captured by thieves. Make him fall out the tree and be injured in the feat. He wakes up the next morning and can’t get out because he had a dream with terrible vertigo. Or you could have something fantastical happen and it just be a dream…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper preferably non-fantastitic or whatever the word is for that. 😀 It’s a children’s story. 😀

@dragon-snapper thanks! I got my character literally stuck in a tree. He’s wanting to stay the night in the tree, and I can’t figure out how to make something exciting happen. *scratches forehead.* Ideas?

@kina-lamb I’ll join you.

Wow, I just got the writing itch really bad. And as we all know, when you get an itch you have to scratch it. So I’ll be writing for 22 minutes on who knows what. 😀

@ethryndal haha yep XD

Multiple themes… this is for a seven book series I’m going to write one of these days, so far as I’ve figured it out.

Primary theme:

Love

Major themes:

Hope
Freedom

Minor themes: These are basically the subthemes of my primary and major themes

Love
Forgiveness
Courage
Sacrifice

Hope…[Read more]

@Jane-Maree We writers call that Somewhere Very Weird our brains… XD

@Dragon-Snapper Write a first-person of a spaceship that gets bored with the places its captain always travels to so it decides to go rogue.

Write a third person of a people watching doorway.

@Daeus yes, you have a point. Looking at it from that angle, and concentrating on the miracle itself rather than the allegory, I agree. If you had said that before I read it I probably would have been annoyed, but as it was I hardly even noticed.
And I just copied and pasted the above reply into my ‘THEME’ folder. 😀

@GabrielleMassman I’m…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy This relates to what was mentioned in the theme course about how you want to set yourself up against the very best arguments against your message you can find. You want to place yourself and the position of least advantage in order to show that your position is true.

@northerner I don’t remember a miracle at the beginning of the story, but oh well.

I agree that reason isn’t what brings about a conversion, but, for one, just because reason isn’t the primary cause of a person’s salvation isn’t reason, doesn’t mean it isn’t a cause and an important one.

I don’t think there was anything wrong with the ending…[Read more]

@R-J-Wordsmith YES! LONG LIVE VILLAINY!
*collapses into uncontrollable laughter* This is great. I love it. I can especially relate to However-you-spell-it because I’m just about as short as he is. 😀

@graciegirl @jess @dragon-snapper, happy to see you enjoyed it!

@ingrid, thanks for pointing that out, the error has been fixed in the document form. Really appreciate it!

@r-j-wordsmith
*wild applause* This is hilarious. Seriously. I was grinning the entire time. 🙂
I literally noticed one thing:

“Sir, if you have anything against my height I advise it to keep it to yourself

This should say “I advise you” not “it”. 😉
Great, great work!

@Aratrea No, they aren’t related. At least, they weren’t… Though that could be quite fun to mess with. Probably not, though. The word count is already crossing 140,000 as it is, so I’ve no room for adding things. 🙁

@aratrea Yes, they hold to the same views, yet act according to slightly different EiL.

@Dragon-snapper okay let me think…

Write about…a tall 14 year old who likes fedora hats. Then one day a fairy appears out of his favorite hat (ruining it, of course) and starts asking for a haircut.
(I don’t even know where in the world that came idea from. Somewhere very weird. xD)

Or a first person idea: You open the fridge to get lunch…[Read more]

@Emma-Flournoy W-w-wait… *shaky breath* You haven’t seen the prequels? Okay, I admit, they were pretty dumb sometimes, but Obi-Wan literally made up for every cheesy line and poorly acted scene EVER.

@GracieGirl I just realized something! The tag for your first post actually showed up in my notifications! *high five* Victory! But then your next…[Read more]
