@itisastarrynight So, I had that exact same question just a week ago.

And I started a blog. I had no idea what I was going to write about, but as soon as I started it, I started finding ideas.

To get a general idea of what bloggers blog about, I’d check out a bunch of blogs. There are some good ones on the page of my blog.

For me, I get the…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm ehehe… well they better not be, because I’m using them. 😛

No, honestly, I think they are. But then, so is a lot of other stuff. I’m confident using ‘elementals’ in my work because the system, while it does incorporate elements, isn’t just about elements. In fact the element part is probably one of the least important bits.…[Read more]

@radically-surrendered  Chuck Black’s books are great!  Have you ever played his board game?  One of my brothers got it for Christmas.

If you really would like my ideas or advice, do you want my email address?

If you are just being nice but would rather have your ideas yourself, that’s okay too, and I’ll just work on the many stories of my ow…[Read more]

@bella-d @dekreel I love those authors too!

H. Rider Haggard is an AMAZING Historical Fiction author.

Elizabeth Elliot – you should have heard of her husband Jim Elliot and Nate Saint, who were martyred by the Aucas, now called the Waorani.  She later went back and taught her husband’s murderers about Christ.

Douglas Bond – Another His-Fic…[Read more]

@bella-d Have you seen how we “tag” people by putting an “@” symbol before their name?  That sends an alert to our emails, so we can reply more easily.  🙂

@mnvalentine I actually don’t write fantasy. 🙂  That’s why I have trouble naming my genre.  I do a little bit of Historical Fiction, and I did some time travel, which is Science Fiction, but…[Read more]

@radically-surrendered Thanks, that makes sense.

I’d love to be a beta reader or just talk it over with you while the story progresses!  I have one request though…

Would it be possible for you to write it without using the words “magic”, “sorcery”, or anything of that nature for anyone on the good side?  “Power” would be an easy s…[Read more]

@bella-d

I love everything by Sir H. Rider Haggard, Elisabeth Elliot, Douglas Bond, and John J. Horn.

I’ve never heard of those books. What kind of stuff do they write?

Oh @mnvalentine, definitely a rite of passage!  I haven’t said it yet either, but you beat me to it.  🙂

@bella-d My absolute favorite genre is Historical Fiction!  I have had a bit of trouble writing in that genre, though.  I write mostly modern fiction (is there a name for that genre?).

Oh, and @skredder The themed wedding is a cool idea, but I think themes weren’t as popular back then as they are now, and it would only be 5-7 years after the era in the picture, so it would be more likely to seem out of style than themed, if they did such a thing. 🙂

@itisastarrynight Yessss, you’re right.  Not many people would notice.  But I w…[Read more]

@bella-d  Welcome to the bestest place in cyberspace!! I’m so glad you’re here! 😉

And now for my trademark question: What are your favorite books and TV shows?

@skredder Thanks for the ideas.  I just researched a bit of what you were suggesting, and found that in the 1930s, the Hollywood industry was secretly very pro-Nazism, but by 1941 they had completely flipped and supported the American end of the war very much.

In the 1950s there was the “Hollywood Blacklist” a figurative list which an actor,…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 I use Pexels.

@gh24682468999 this is my favorite image site: https://pixabay.com/

Like all image sites, it has some questionable content if you poke in the wrong corners, but overall it’s pretty good.

@medomfo  Hey and welcome!  Looking forward to seeing you around 🙂  What movies do you like (I you’ve already been asked about your favourite books)?  🙂

@jenwriter17  And being a horse lover, any chance that you’ve seen a Cavalia horse show?

@jenwriter17  Hi!  Sorry I’m late.  Where have I seen you around before?  😛  I LOVE HORSES!!!  I don’t own one, but I ride: pure awesomeness, right?  😉  So, you say you like movies with “lots of action and fight scenes”…do you like the Hornblower mini-series?  They’re some of my favourites:)

@itisastarrynight @radically-surrendered @kylie @skredder Thanks so much for your help!  I actually used all your ideas to piece together something that might work:

First of all, turning down someone or breaking off an engagement would offend Aunt Maude, yes, but that wouldn’t really explain why Alice or the other girls wouldn’t like her.  Th…[Read more]

@radically-surrendered And, um, it sounds like so much fun to write… I thought I’d never ask this of anyone, but would you be at all interested in having a co-author?

I understand completely if you aren’t though. 🙂

@radically-surrendered Good idea, because a conductor who plays an instrument will usually conduct with a violin or a piano.

But a piano is best for the Maestro, because a piano can play all the parts at once, so if someone isn’t doing their job, or falls down in the battle, he can pick up their part on the piano.

The piano is used as an…[Read more]
