Kate Flournoy replied to the topic A question for anyone about elves in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years ago
@Allison-Grace depends. What’s the tone of their culture? Small and delicate? Merry? Grave? Both? Wise, or simple? Shrewd, or peaceful? Really you could make anything work, but that’s one thing to consider. 😉

Welcome to the site @CK4always! Glad you found us. 🙂 What areas are you looking to grow the most in writing?

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Writer's Corner #8 in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years ago
@Catwing OH, NOW I understand. 😀
Good luck with your writing for the night! (And henceforth and forevermore, naturally.) -
Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Writer's Corner #8 in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years ago
@Catwing Oh yes, that makes very good sense. 😀
Well, yeah…not really. I used to write stories. It was BAAAAD. I was young. I excuse myself. 😛 But no, other than the occasional school report/essay, I’m not a writer. Fiction writer. I probably know enough about it to be one, but I’m not. And I don’t really feel sad about it, either. XD I’m…[Read more] -

@Catwing Well I ain’t writing, for one thing. *wiggles eyebrows* I be the non-writer here. 😉 Though I do wonder why you tagged me of all people. How interesting. XD

Hey @Northerner, I keep meaning to ask this and am only just getting around to it. How’d that Creationist essay you were doing for college go? How was it received?

@Shannon That sounds cool…I don’t think we have a mac though. Oh well.
Hey, nice. Hope it works out. 😀 -

@CK4always let me know if you decide to and I’ll help you with the tags. They can be a bit tricky, especially for a newbie. 😉

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic An Idea…. in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years ago
@CK4always if you’re looking for feedback you can certainly post a link to a google doc and ask around for those interested in giving it a read through. Unfortunately I can’t because I’m up to my ears already, 😛 but I’m sure there are several people here who’d love the opportunity.

@CK4always welcome! Do you like music? Do you like psychology? What’s your favorite color?

@Emily Well that’s great. About the mandolin. 😀 Good teachers are the best thing. I’m mostly self-taught with violin, so I don’t really have experience with teachers. (Except Mom, who taught me piano. She was great. 😀 ) But good teaching is the best.
And I’d imagine fiddling is fun! I like British/Irish/European style fiddling best. -
Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Do You Want to be Part of my Project? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years ago
@Shannon Oh I knew I wasn’t the only one (haven’t I seen the blogs), but it’s still nice to find them among people you know/semi-know. 😉
I love it. 😀 I only wish I could fiddle as well. Do you play something? -
Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Do You Want to be Part of my Project? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years ago
@Emily NICE. I looooooooove cello; my mom wants to play that someday. And mandolin shouldn’t be too hard to learn as the notation/stringing is the same as violin.

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic The extra mile in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years ago
That conference talk was great.
I can’t really think of anything more specific than what everyone else said. The biggest thing I think would be the ‘feeling important’ thing; feeling like you’re not just a slot to fill but that the author really cares. And they remember you and things about you. All that awesome connection…[Read more]

@Northerner Exactly, I know. 😛
Cool @Emily! We have quite a few violinists on here. Yep, I play piano too. You?
@Mariposa I can understand better about watermelon and coconut. I like them (and love coconut), but I can see how someone wouldn’t. Hardly so with mint. 😉
Whoo-hoo! *high-five* Yep, me too. I have a couple allies, but I’m for most…[Read more]

I got 93% on the first draft and 94 on the revision, so not badly at all, I’d say :).
Oh yikes, that sounds really good. Sheesh. Did the professors or whoever think you were weird, or is it normal for them to get Christian stuff in a secular college?
Umm. . . well, it was the first time I’d had that particular teacher, but with others in the department, I know, I have a bit of a. . . reputation? And I talked like that in class all semester, so he probably had fair warning.
It is not normal for the college as a whole, but I’ve met two Creationists there, one of whom was in Philosophy, so it’s…[Read more]
Well good. Could be worse for sure. 😀
(And that argument is so lame. *sigh*)
It could be a lot worse. But people bend themselves backwards to not appear prejudiced or discriminatory so much that they kind of have to do it for me whether they mean it or no. . . which gets kind of fun (yes, I enjoy a rousing debate, how did you guess?).
(Ugh, yes, it is. People keep saying it, though, and then I have to go and explain that…[Read more]
You’re an NTP, of course you’d find that kind of thing fun. XD
It’s so hilarious though, because they probably wouldn’t worry about it—at least not so much?—if they were dead certain your view was wrong. I dunno.
HA! That video. It’s perfect. Those are some smart Neanderthals. I LOVE when those arguments are shown out for their circular…[Read more]
