Please someone, anyone, I implore you on bended knee… draw Josiah the Wiser, sporting his scraggly coarse tarantula beard, with a frog (grinning evilly) on his head. Anyone who can draw, please try… if you need references, just look at his avatar, or watch the Stereotype videos

Okay, can someone put the picture they drew of Daeus’s Teedletidum’s actually on here, cause I can’t follow the link and I’m dying to see them.

Here, see if anyone wants to draw this person…

He’s an older teen, about eighteen or nineteen. His hair is longer, but not like shoulder length long or anything, just shaggy and long. Like Hiccup. And…[Read more]

Hey everyone! Just one more call throughout the Kingdom (along with the splendiferous help of @Daeus‘s tag) to see if any other KeePers will be at the Best of British Science and Bible Conference at the Creation Museum next Friday and Saturday! Just because I’ve not had time to be on here doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten about you all, and I look…[Read more]

Oh, yes. Here is the link too. http://kingdompen.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4dd68444205bfc269d1b96743&id=dd0c17e669&e=5a6b0ff856

@rachelle Oh, yes! I see. I’m the same way, with the Enneagram especially. It’s really hard rely on those free tests which is super disappointing.

@rachelle @anna-Brie I saw you guys found MBTI a bit unreliable, and I was just wondering if any of you have ever tried using the Enneagram (another personality tool) instead? I found it to be a lot more helpful in regards to characterization. I think the MBTI is better for real life applications, but the Ennegram gives quick insight into the…[Read more]

Just letting you all know, that I have gotten your replies, and love them all!
I will get back to you if I have time, but for now know that your responses are appreciated. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 :)…[Read more]

Okay, I’m resurrecting this topic because I’ve been looking into it for next year. I know there are a few more people on the forum now who are/have taken the OYAN course, so I was wondering what opinions were… My concern is 1. Is it for beginning writers (as in never written a novel before) and not really aimed at people who write regularly?…[Read more]

@Rachelle I have a similar problem with writing extroverts for some reason. It actually exhausts me. XD I’m an INFP myself. When I took the test for my three protagonists the first got INFP and I thought, ‘Oh, no! What if I accidentally made them all INFPs?!?’ I was quite relieved when the next one came back ISTJ, and then the next ISFJ. It didn’t…[Read more]

Hey, friends, see if you can help me brainstorm for a bit.

So far, about fifty people have taken the reader behavior survey. That’s pretty awesome. Fifty people can show us some neat things about reader behavior, but we’re going to need a lot more need more if we’re hoping for reliable and detailed data.

So maybe my outlook was too limited.…[Read more]

@Rachelle I actually haven’t seen the movie. 😛

Ahhhh… the corrupt government. *grins* The age old debate. To rebel or not to rebel? That is the question. XD
I personally believe that any citizen taking justice into their own hands against the law is not acceptable whether or not the government is corrupt. God only ever said that it was the…[Read more]

@Rachelle not at all. 😀 Intellectual stimulation is definitely encouraged. XD

It’s actually pretty simple. Justice stems from the government/judicial system because the government/judicial system is in charge of seeing justice done in God’s name— punishing the wicked and protecting the righteous. That is the whole purpose of a government…[Read more]

Okay, but to try and not totally derail the conversation (or at least salvage my reputation), I completely agree with what everyone else has said, @rachelle. They all just said it first.

@Rachelle I think everything’s been covered already 😛 I would just add that the reader might feel cheated if the character seeking revenge gets away without any consequences for his actions. Usually stories that involve revenge end in the protagonist either realizing how wrong their thoughts are and “converting,” so to say, or carrying out the…[Read more]

@Rachelle

*bursts in poof of sparkles*

Timing. Is. Amazing.

Funnily enough, not only am I reading (in my opinion) the best revenge plot ever write, a la Hamlet, but am also writing a paper on Hamlet/Revenge vs Justice. But I don’t really have anything to say beyond what @kate-flournoy said soooo… darn it, Kate, you’re always so thorough.…[Read more]

@Rachelle *evil cackling* Awesome topic.

Short answer: Revenge is bad. Vengeance is Mine, saith the Lord. I will repay.

Long answer: that doesn’t mean you can’t have revenge in your story. Even a successful revenge. But for the sake of truth, it should never be without consequences. There are always consequences when man takes God into his own…[Read more]

KeePers everywhere!

1,000 strong. That’s my goal.

I am thrilled to announce the launch of the new Reader Behavior Survey. If you haven’t already read through this thread, the Reader Behavior Survey is a survey I put together that asks readers detailed questions to probe into how they think and what influences them. “Why?” you ask. Well, these…[Read more]

@rachelle Hey, I remembered to check back on this thread!

I’d be willing to discuss this in more detail. So, if you want, just head over to http://mkami.weebly.com/contact.html and send me a message.
