@Kina-Lamb @Emma-Flournoy I was just about to say, “Oh yes, the Hidden Hand is a really good book!” And then realized I’ve never read it. XD Psychological misfire.

And here’s a Studio C for your pig latin troubles, because I can’t resist. 🙂 Pig Latin

@Aratrea Got it. He does tempt Ethaniel with the idea of giving him a name, but it is more trying to give what he thinks Ethaniel wants than trying to convince him to his own point of view.

@overcomer Ha! That part about the opposite shoes…

Ok, so as for your questions/idea, I’d say I don’t think so for first two, but yes for the second two, especially the last one, because, while after I got what you were doing I thought the ending was funny, it confused me at first. Showing how the characters developed would be helpful for…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Yee-ap! But I’m not constantly thinking about it/stressing over it/being super excited now that they’re submitted, so I think I can relax for the time being 😉

@emma-flournoy wow, I’m seriously impressed, Emma! Is pig language talking backwards, or was that just someone teasing me?

Thank you so much, @sierra-r! Wow, those pictures are absolutely beautiful! I’m inspired. I think your camera is two models newer than mine, and I love the way they look. 😀 And the way you captured the sunlight is really neat. 😀

@emma-flournoy Wow, pig latin? Are you fluent?

@overcomer Alrighty I managed to grab enough time to read and give it an edit over. I did it in a google doc, so hopefully it works. I’ll link to it, and you should be able to see what I’ve suggested and accept/reject said edit suggestions.

*hopes it works*

@winter-rose okie dokie! (Have fun eating dinner 🙂 ) I got a little plotting done and also some critiquing work.

@Aratrea then… hm. So then it’s possible for a character to be more than one of the three types? Because she’s definitely a type one, and yet when you said that I realize she could also be a type two after a fashion. Does that work?

@winter-rose sshhhhhh don’t tell. xD I’m sending out messenger pigeons to my minion armies to mount their attack while I hide in my tower and practice my evil overlord laughs.

@aratrea oh thank you!! That will definitely be useful. 🙂

I thought that maybe I could get the villain out of his office and actually go to the ‘front lines’ so he can better command his agents (naturally under constant bodyguard supervision so there’s no way he could get killed). And then I can add a more personal attack from him, and a more…[Read more]

@winter-rose I’ll be plotting! 🙂

@dragon-snapper thanks! Yes, I love all those too. And Barbara Manatee.

Well you see, I was four years old and was helping Daddy pump the gas. And I got too close. And it got in my eyes. And that’s how it happened. Thankfully it happened only five minutes away from our house, and mama was able to dump a water-bottle full of water into my eyes…[Read more]

@hope Ah; I like that. So they’re not only foils with the main theme, but appear to be opposites with what might be a major or minor theme of power. He sounds the most like a foil to me. He isn’t an ultimate foil with regards to the primary theme, but if he’s an ultimate foil with regards to another theme, he can still function as the best…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Ah; nice. I like that. Moving characters from extremes to a middle ground is a really good way of implementing Method #2.
