@dragon-snapper Ha! My problem is exactly the opposite. I plan WAY too much, if that’s even possible, and then my stories never end up getting buckled down because I keep changing things. Which is hilarious, because when I first started writing (2 years ago, to be exact) I literally knew NOTHING about writing, period, and didn’t plan at all.…[Read more]

@perfectfifths Phooey, I missed the f in your tag up there, and I didn’t even catch it. XD Do you know what your story’s going to be about yet? Besides light, I mean.

And I hope you don’t mind that I’m being nosy. I always like learning about other peoples writing endeavors. 😉

@GracieGirl That’s funny, because I just started water-color too. I’ll always be more a pencil person myself, but I agree, the vagueness is great, though my love of it may stem from a less than worthy motivation: When you mess up, NO ONE KNOWS EXCEPT YOU. They say, “What’s this weird blob over here?” And you say, with a nonchalant shrug of your…[Read more]

@aratrea What do the wings mean anyways?

@graciegirl Welcome to the forum! Glad you’ve found us. 🙂 I actually just read Scandal in Bohemia for the first time last week for a college class and enjoyed it a good bit. Also, shout-out for breaking the MBTI-monopoly by including your Enneagram. 😉 I’m actually a 4w5 as well!

Heh, emojis! I used four! 😛

Well this topic died. 🙁 3 months…
@graciegirl If you and @kate-flournoy want to talk about your MBTI, that’s what most of this topic ended up being about. I know nothing about it, so I’ll just let you…yeah. 😀
So, to fire this old thing up again, does anyone ever NOT want to plan…or write…or do anything, and you just procrastinate…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Yeah, I’m not planning to change anything.

@Daeus he was pretty much essential to the theme though, so I wouldn’t cut him without serious thought and a really good backup plan.
Which my brain tells me you already knew; of course, duh, but I figured I’d put it out there anyway.

@dragon-snapper The wing thing is from enneagram, not MBTI.

@dragon-snapper Yeah, I don’t really either. In this case, the guy isn’t a very major character and I who would normally avoid this stuff don’t think he’s too creepy, so I’m feeling pretty good about it, but there will doubtless be some people who won’t like it.

@graciegirl Oh, yeah. I’m ENFJ, a protagonist, but I don’t really know anything more than that. 😛 I’m with @daeus , but they didn’t say anything about my wings. That, or they did and I didn’t even read it. 😛
Ooh, drawing! I like to draw too. Do you sketch, or do you do other things, like paints, or colored pencil? I prefer sketching, but I’m…[Read more]

@daeus Well, at first I didn’t say anything because I thought that this was fantasy, but since it’s historical fiction, I’m having second thoughts.
Personally, I don’t prefer mysticism in stories, regardless of whether it is of a badguy or not. What @winter-rose said is true, that there are spiritual powers in the world, but I don’t necessarily…[Read more]

@graciegirl (Better late then never.) Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!

I’m about 30% of the way through Sherlock Holmes. I pretty much just read him on car trips, so it’s sporadic, but I get a lot done at once. I don’t know which is my favorite honestly.

Hey, keep on with your story world. It sounds neat.

I’m an ENFJ. On…[Read more]

@anna-brie Looks like you’ve got a nice mix of answers to your focusing questions.

If you’re having trouble finding the theme of one of your stories, do you mind posting the focusing questions you have? Maybe we could help you find that theme.

@Daeus *chokes* True. True.

@Graciegirl HEYYYYY! SOMEONE ELSE OBSESSED WITH MBTI! (On a scale of one to ten, how obsessed would you rate yourself? Unfortunately I think I’m a twelve. XD) And a fellow INFP to boot! And someone else who has spent three years building one fantasy world! And someone else who loves both Tolkien and Elizabeth Gaskell! (Have you read North &…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy What? You’re not always right. 😛

@graciegirl Rats. They beat me to it. Ah, well.
Ahem. Welcome to the bestiestiestiestistest place ever!
I have just one question for you. Did you say John Flanagan. (that’s dangerous. Lots of people here like his books…including someone who’s name rhymes with Dragon Clapper)
