@perfectfifths I will probably write and teach music on the side. 🙂 I don’t really know where God wants me to go, but I plan on going on several missions trips in the next couple of years. 🙂 Do you plan on having a writing career?

Mark Kamibaya replied to the topic Quote That in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 4 months ago
My quote is from X-men: Days of Future Past.
@perfectfifths Yours is from the Chronicles of Narnia. I just don’t know which book (or movie). Can anyone be more specific?

@rolena-hatfield Thanks! I have not personally read these but I have heard that Prisoners of the Sea and The Printer of Udell’s are really good Lamplighter books! My personal favorites have already been listed, but I also like A Lost Pearle, The House of Love, Stepping Heavenward, and Amy and Her Brothers. I haven’t really started any “writing…[Read more]

Rolena Hatfield replied to the topic Hi guys! in the forum Start HERE 9 years, 4 months ago
@emma-l A hearty welcome to you! I just recently heard of Lamplighter books. Any recommendations besides the ones you and @christi-eaton have already mentioned? Are you working on any writing projects right now?
Also my sister loves to listen to Irish music! I wish I could record your Irish whistle, she’d flip!
Glad to have you…[Read more] -

@ethryndal We have goats, chickens, dogs, cats, and bees. 🙂
@kate-flournoy I write “poetry”, non-fiction, and historic fiction. I guess that’s what you mean by genres. 🙂
@perfectfifths That’s really awesome! I have been playing violin for almost 10 years, guitar for 2, ukulele for 3, and piano for almost 8. It has taken a lot of commitment, but…[Read more] -

“Just because someone stumbles and loses their path, doesn’t mean they’re lost forever.”
This is the one at the moment. Just throw one in if you want. 😉

@perfectfifths; @daeus; @winter-rose (And anyone else)
Thank you for praying. Just after I posted my request, I ended up chucking up. 🙁 It might have been because I was trying to take some medicine which wasn’t the nicest. After that was over, I sat outside and just rested. None of you Americans will probably understand this, but watching gum…[Read more] -

I’m sick. Can people please be praying for my recovery? And praying that I don’t vomit either. Thank you in advance. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Ethryndal replied to the topic Catching Trout in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 4 months ago
@dragon-snapper Yay, hooks! I love hooks! There are several types of them:
1.) Raising a question (as other people have mentioned, I think). I think this one pretty much explains itself.
2.) Creating a vivid character. If you start with an interesting or unusual character, people will be intrigued by them and keep going.
3.) Unexpectedness.…[Read more]

Timothy Young replied to the topic A writing idea. in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 4 months ago
The ideas are definitely hard to treat fairly… But then not all ideas are equal. 🙂
I just tried it with a short story with a group of seven people each one offering three things they wanted in the story. I would say it is nearly impossible to come to twenty-one things that are quite that random, with a pre-existing story…[Read more]

Snapper started the topic Catching Trout in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 4 months ago
This has nothing to do with catching trout. No, but it has to do with our hook. The first sentence, page, paragraph, chapter.
I’ve lost he fine art of coming up with a good hook, so, if you all have any tips, that would be most appreciated. In addition, if you have a book that has a great hook/starter sentence, then I would be glad to see those…[Read more] -

Alright. Hopefully we’re good now. Can you find any way to improve it? Does it attract you? (why or why not?)

@perfectfifths Tags. Yes, so they’re best for getting somebody’s attention who isn’t on here very often, getting someone’s attention if a question is time sensitive, or making sure a list of people see your post.
