Kina Lamb replied to the topic Hi guys! in the forum Start HERE 9 years, 6 months ago
Thanks for the enthusiastic welcome, @jane-maree!
I shoot with a D3100 Nikon camera.
Actually, I just picked up hand-lettering very recently. I use envelopes as my practice paper, and I write a lot of cards. It wasn’t very hard to learn, actually. Just took some enthusiasm. : ) I’m still in the beginning stages, but it’s a lot of fun, and I’m…[Read more]

Thanks @arella-noreen!
I’m glad you like photography. It seems that I have to take 20 pictures to get one good one sometimes, but I’m learning! Yes, I know that sigh of contentment – it’s my buddy. That’s why I take 20 pictures to get a good one. : ) -

@Kina-Lamb ha! 😀 I actually don’t remember where I first saw it… but I’ve always loved the picture, and when I first joined the forum it was just the obvious choice. 😉

thanks @kate-flournoy!
And btw, I’ve been meaning to ask you this ever since I saw your profile picture a couple of years ago: where did you get your profile picture? I love it!

Kina Lamb replied to the topic Hi guys! in the forum Start HERE 9 years, 6 months ago
Aw, thanks @jess! That’s really encouraging.
I am writing a (hopefully) short story with one of my pen-pals. I think it’s supposed to be a mystery story. I am also writing my own story – a children’s story. I think it’s important that the books children read are wholesome and productive, and it’s hard to find books like that these days. I also…[Read more]

Emma Flournoy posted an update 9 years, 6 months ago
@Kina-Lamb Hey, I was looking around on your blog, and can I just say that you’re very mature? Well I said it, so hopefully it’s not too odd. I loved looking through your posts—I love it so much when someone young is so mature and thinks about such important things. (And I’m specifically hoping this doesn’t sound like I’m treating you as a…[Read more]

I know, @audrey-caylin, it’s pretty amazing that Daeus and I both like writing, isn’t it? We both have similar interests… but he does like gardening. I don’t know how. : )
What is the original of that quote? I just saw in my friend’s photography studio, and I liked it a lot.
You know, a couple of years ago, I was in a writing class, and I…[Read more]

@Arella-Noreen Good to meet ya! We didn’t used to have many INFJs on here, but it seems like several have come on in the last week or so. 🙂 What’s your favorite book?
Also, we don’t live in TX anymore…some of us were born there, but we’ve lived in OH for about 12 years now I think. Where we lived longest in TX I think was near Lufkin. Where are you? -
Emma Flournoy replied to the topic *holds breath and hopes for the best* in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 6 months ago
@Rolena-Hatfield Oh that’s RIGHT, you live in Iowa don’t you! It’s near Lansing, IA…I don’t really know where that is except that it’s up near the Minnesota border somewhere…
*heartbroken whisper* So that means you aren’t already going?@Kina-Lamb Yes! Of course it means that, and I can’t wait to see y’all there. 🙂

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Hi guys! in the forum Start HERE 9 years, 6 months ago
HEY @Kina-Lamb! I didn’t know you were a writer too! Awesome.
What’s your favorite book?
And what instrument do you play?
I’m looking forward to getting to know you better here.
Also to looking ’round on your website, but the computer’s being slow right now. 😉 -

@kina-lamb Woah! Mind blown! I had no idea @daeus had a little sister! Daeus, There is now a princess in the castle in that dragon story. 😛
What type of stuff do you write? What type of music do you play? How many questions can I ask you?
Welcome from the resident dragon!

Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic Homework for Video 12: Foil Characters in the forum Writing Assignments 9 years, 6 months ago
@audrey-caylin Nice work with those characters. I like the form of poetic justice that you’re using with Holly by allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions. And then role models like Skye are always great for protagonists to have.

@jane-maree Good setup there. I think I got the basic gist of it. Great way to use examples to develop a character arc.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Emma! (That’s funny. Did you read my, “but be an example,” post? Not at all. I’m not offended if people say I’m young anymore. ) Out of curiosity, (I’m a very curious person!!) how old do you think I am? I haven’t told anyone yet, and I extremely enjoy hearing people guess how old I am. : )
Yep, I read at least part of that post…I always want to be sure I’m not hurting someone’s feelings, but I wanted to be extra careful after seeing that. 😉 I was pretty sure you’d not have a problem with that anymore though.
Hey, I’m a very curious person too, so you’re in good company. 🙂 I’m pretty sure I already know how old you are—12 or…[Read more]
@Kina-Lamb Are you 12 or 13?
13. And let me guess… you’re probably 15 or 16?
Yup, 16. How’d you guess that?
Well, I looked up your first introduction post, and you said then that you were fifteen, and it was dated nine months ago. From that I concluded that you were either almost 16 or 16. 😀
Aha, a very logical course of action. 🙂
Hi @emma-flournoy ! Do you have any ideas on how to describe an angry knocking on a door? I was thinking like a “Bang. Bang,” but then I thought it might be mistaken for gun shots. I thought about “Thud. Thud,” but it sounds kind of soft, do you think? It’s Turkish soldiers banging on the door of my great-grandpa’s house that I want to describe. Thanks!
Hey Kina!
You’re right, the ‘thud’ sounds kind of soft. ‘Bang’ is a little bettter, and I don’t think it’s too similar to guns, but it is very common. So…crack…pound…hammer…? Those wouldn’t all work the way you had it—the word repeated twice slowly. I mean, it would sound a little weird. ‘Hammer. Hammer.’
Hm. 😛 If you wanted to…[Read more]
@Kina-Lamb Did you find something to work?
@emma-flournoy oh sorry! I meant to reply to this. For now I’m just doing “Knock. Knock. Knock.” As I read over great grandpa’s story, I realized that the Turk soldiers weren’t really angry, they were just a little rough, so “Knock Knock Knock” sounds better to me now than it did before. I am going to add some background information before that. I…[Read more]
@Kina-Lamb Great! *high-five*
