@aratrea Thanks! 😀 All the characters mentioned are actually main protagonists too, I’m only concentrating on this one because she’s my character in a co-writing project 🙂

Basically, character A (the main one I’m talking about) has been trained all her life and is prepared, mostly, for a long quest and battle. Compared to characters B and C,…[Read more]

Would you rather write your novel backwards, or only be able to use words under six letters?
Backwards, because sometimes it helps to start at the end 😉 Or did you mean the words backwards??? :O

Would you rather have to eat every page of everything you write, or have to do a push-up for every word you write?
Push-up, because exercise 😉

Would…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Yay, yay, yay, yay!!! 😀 I loved it! So many funny lines that made me chuckle. 😉 “For once he’d like to see a villain do a big nod.” XDXDXD I love it, love it, love it! But now to the all-important question:

Will there be more??? 😀 😀

@anne-of-lothlorien

Yes, Loo-My`ster. 🙂

In my opinion, an angel makes a little more sense than a snake. Maybe the angel takes the guise of an anaconda?

You have to email @spradlin (the KP email, I think, not sure though) and ask her to forward to the people you want to send to. That way you get each other’s emails without giving away on the interwebz 😛

Hello everybody tagged below!

I’ve got a bunch of unfinished drafts of stories (plus the finished draft for the Pilot for Aquila) and I was wondering if any of you would like to alpha-read some of them (and, perhaps, beta-read the finished draft). I need input on what I’m working on because I’ve got some stories I’m stuck on.

So, for those of…[Read more]

Here’s an idea. What if we change the snake to an angel? Maybe?

@anne-of-lothlorien Older, though two people now have thought he was younger (weird… XD)

Ooh, that’s a great idea. How can you not be suing talking animals when you can have scenes like that??

Another idea (feel free to poo-poo it completely 😉 ) what if she doesn’t know (at least at first) it’s an anaconda, she’s just hearing its voice and…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien

It’s my online alias. It’s a clever (I think) modification of my real name, which I am not prepared to share on a publically accessible website. 😛 You pronounce the Leu part of my name like you pronounce the Leu in Leukocyte or Leukemia. It used to be Lee-oo, then Lay-oo, now it’s just Lou. 😛

@anne-of-lothlorien I’m assuming she finds out it’s a snake when she feels the scales and long body??? 😐 …. Yes, of course 😛

I don’t think he wants it to be too cheesy

I honestly don’t think, when done the right way, talking animals are cheesy at all. I love the Jungle Book (the actual book 😉 ) In it, Mowgli learns the languages of the a…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien

Okay, fair enough. 😛 You could ask him what he’s using, or if I get into contact with him myself, I could ask. 😛

And, yes, I am @perfectfifths‘ brother. 🙂

Also… I’m not sure how an anaconda takes care of its young… I don’t know. I’m sorry if I’m sounding like I’m picking apart your brother’s story, it’s just I find it…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien @leumeister Yes, that’s him. I told you he’d make himself known 😉 😀

Experiments in living in overcoming the odds:

1. Relying only on your own strength, which supposedly guarantees something will get done, quickly and correctly (if you want something done right you’ve got to do it yourself)
2. Working together with your team will help you learn to cooperate and communicate – you can’t just go off and do your own…[Read more]

This sounds interesting. Not sure about the giant anaconda… Wouldn’t it sooner eat her than befriend her? XD It’s an interesting idea, though, and I’d love to help out where I can… If I may venture to suggest that instead of an anaconda, she befriends a flight attendant who was struck deaf from the crash? If that’s even a possible injury……[Read more]

I think role-playing as the character, and having a conversation with someone role-playing as another character (whether it be from the same story or not; helps me see how they would respond to many different situations and personalities) Also, personality quizzes, as someone mentioned, and Myers-Briggs. Doing those also help me see how my…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien My brother’s an animator too 😉 Though he’ll probably tell you that since he’s in that long list of tags

First off, I think the South American version of the crocodileormaybeanaligator is the caiman.

I do want to know as well why the animals don’t talk. Like @Northerner said, it would make for some funny dialogue, plus it…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper *looks up butcher bird to make sure I got it right* Yeah, I think that’s it 😉 I think it was a young one, because it had more brown feathers (hence thinking it was a kookaburra, if you know what they look like)

Oh, cool! We don’t have woodpeckers here. At the very least, I’ve never seen one 😉

@anne-of-lothlorien @aratrea That’s…[Read more]
