@Daeus Oh, that does sound wise. *resolves not to touch self for a bit*

@Ethryndal *doesn’t black frown self to death* (But still gives a melancholy sigh.)

@Ethryndal I thought of something awful…you have to register beforehand (it’s not free, either), and I think it fills up so fast, spaces don’t last long so unless you’re already registered there might not be any room left. I think you have to register pretty far in advance, and it was already almost filled up in December 2016. I feel so…[Read more]

@northerner I’ve got to go now, but I edited half a chapter. Thanks for writing!

I’m still working on my story, and figuring out exactly what the theme is.

I’m thinking of choosing Complacency and Purpose as my theme, but I’m not sure yet.

My story is (so far) about overcoming complacency, finding the courage to change, dealing with expectations, and finding/embracing one’s destiny/purpose.

The three main characters are all…[Read more]

@northerner Great! For Gondor!

@overcomer @daeus @kate-flournoy @Audrey-caylin @jess @winter-rose @graciegirl @r-j-wordsmith @northerner @ethryndal @jane-maree @perfect-fifths I’ll be doing some editing and perhaps some normal writing. Maybe planning. Probably editing. Who knows?

Thanks, @aratrea ! That’s one of my all-time favorite books, so I’m glad you think so. 🙂

I’m really enjoying this class. 🙂 I’ve learned so much already, and I’ve barely even started. (Sorry about that, by the way.)

@Ethryndal XD Indeed.

WHAT? Well that’s way better than a straight-out NO!
And really, we’re such out-of-it homeschoolers too; this’ll be the first thing we’ve done like this. We live way out in the sticks and don’t see many other homeschoolers, so it’ll be fun, ESPECIALLY IF WE CAN MEET SOME OF YOU PEOPLE THERE!
@Ethryndal

So upset that I wasn’t able to make it to the discussion. 🙁 Hopefully I can next time! Thanks for the link though, @Daeus…

@Aratrea ah, my mistake. I see now. Thanks. 🙂

@overcomer That seems to hit the big themes of Magician’s Nephew very well. Nice work!

Wai-wai-WAIT @Ethryndal, but what about Family Camp? I probably know the answer, but—!

@kate-flournoy Looks good. One thing to clarify would be that, since there /can/ be some overlap between the Foil and the Influencer, is that the Influencer needs to be directly trying to persuade the protagonist to come over in order to be a proper Influencer. Simply opposing the hero does not necessarily make someone an Influencer; it just means…[Read more]

Tavalii. Female, twenty two, but small and birdlike with bony hands. She’s a fantasy priestess of a false religion (and she knows its false) who was dedicated to the Temple of the Stars at birth and doesn’t care about herself enough to bother about doing something about any of it. Usually bored. Hates the face-paint and ceremonial wreaths and…[Read more]

@Widdrim You should read the whole Les Mis if you ever get time. It’s so good. 🙂

I like your profile pic, btw. Such pretty leaves.

@Abigail-Blomberg Wonderful. 😀
