@catwing Oh yes, make them have to save Christmas! It’s so overused, and hilarious! XD

@catwing Link would rather jump off a cliff, because he’s got a grappling hook. 😉

Louise Fowler replied to the topic Would You Rather Character Edition in the forum Characters 7 years, 4 months ago
Ooh, fun. There’s a lot now, so my character needs to make heaps of decisions. I’m going to use one I have named Link.
Link would rather:
Have a t-rex
Have their family lose the memory of him (something like that happens anyway, but not so extreme *gets thinking…*)
Watch a bad movie
Eat 20 pancakes
The Sahara
Neither really, but probably…[Read more] -

XD I guess not, but I want to know his story. Right now I’m hearing more about Luigi Vampa and Teresa.
Goodreas is really cool. It’s a site that you can list all the books you’ve read/want to read. You can rate them, review them, compare your shelves with your friends. You can use it to keep track of how many books you’ve read in a year, and set…[Read more]

It feels like the story is jumping around between characters. I’ve just been reading about Franz and his interesting night on Monte Cristo with Signor Sinbad. Except I think Sinbad is Dantes. Except I’m not certain. XD
Are you on Goodreads?

Oh, I have no doubt it’s a good book. But I may not always agree with the protagonist’s choices. 😉 Les Mis, though, I actually have lined up to read after Monte Cristo. 😀 It looks like it’s going to be equally as long. XD

I have to say, pretty much everyone I’ve tried to teach how to hold the violin and bow have been frustrating (including my mum and my best friend) except one, one of my mum’s good friends. I think she’s a natural and sometimes when she comes over, we have “lessons.” I think she wants to play more often, but she doesn’t have a violin yet.
No,…[Read more]

Yeah, it is. And no, he doesn’t. 😛 To be honest, I don’t even trust him to hold the violin, because he doesn’t listen to me when he does and hold it properly, so he’s lost his violin-holding privileges. 😉 It’s annoying, because he asked to hold it, but still didn’t listen. 😛
Oh, yeah, piggy-backing can be hard, because there is so much great…[Read more]-
Ha! Eh well…it’s gotta be kind of hard for non-violinists to be able to hold it just correctly, even if they DO try. ;P But it IS good to listen. 😉
We were once so clueless.I KNOW!!! By making it sound the same. And you CAN’T. *fumes*
Are you liking The Count of MC?

Poor people. 😛 But naturals are always encouraging.
Eheh, yep, I feel ya. It was a very good book, but I know what you’re talking about. *cough* The revenge is sorta the point… 😛 Once you FINISH the book, you’ll see how it plays out to be a good book nonetheless. Thought it’s still not perfect, and it’s NOT as good as Les Miserables, EVER.…[Read more]

*snickers* Dantes and his disguises.
Yeah, there’s a fair bit of jumping around, but it’s kinda nice sometimes because you wouldn’t want to ALWAYS be stuck with Dantes’ point of view.

Yeah, I agree, I would love to be able to do that.
That being said, I did manage to create something of a nice (if repetitive) tune when my brother and I were trying out a violin pick-up my conductor lent to me. 😛 -

Yeah, reading music is a really good skill. But I know what you mean about fiddling. The luthier who restored my violin can’t read a bit of music, but he’s an amazing Irish fiddler. 😀 And one our friends, he can’t read music, but he’s really good on the piano.

Louise Fowler posted a new activity comment 7 years, 4 months ago
So, I’m guessing you can read music and all that sort of thing? 😀 It’s handy to know, unless you plan on being an Irish fiddler? 😉
-
Yup. I learned basic music theory when I learned piano, and while I’m not an expert, I know quite a bit, and can sight-read easily. It is quite handy.
I do wish I could fiddle in addition to classical, though, seriously. 😛 I wish I knew how. -

Sounds amazing, of course. ;P I have a good musical ear/sense of tune, too, which I’m thankful for as well, but I still can’t make gorgeous harmonies and improvise amazingly like nobody’s business and that sort of thing. Much to my sorrow. I can harmonize and improvise if I work at it, but it’s not second nature or anything.

Whooo! That’s so exciting! Have you ever taken lessons before, or are you two self-taught? (If so, that is extra impressive, because I would have no idea how one would do that! XD)

Lots of works have more than one villain. For the BBC series of Robin Hood, they had the Sheriff of Notingham, and Guy of Gisborne. Guy mostly worked for the Sheriff, but he also had his own personal axe to grind with Robin Hood, which didn’t just make him the main villain’s lackey.
Lord of the Rings has both Sauron and Sauraman Again, Sauraman…[Read more]

@inkling-for-christ I would love to read you work, if you still want feedback. But may I make a suggestion?
