Wait, the scales come off? @dragon-snapper How do you lose a scale?

Wait, the scales come off? @dragon-snapper

*puts up hands* Whoa, whoa. Don’t jump to conclusions… @ethryndal I wasn’t talking about using it on you. Or Snapper. Or anyone on here, really. *looks wearily at family*

@dragon-snapper

@kate-flournoy Haha, funny you mention this, I just finished the lesson on this in the Jumpstart Your Novel course @daeus did. What you were saying last night makes much more sense now.

Um…character arcs. I know what they are, but I couldn’t tell you how to actually write one…It isn’t something that I think about actively. Er, something I’m…[Read more]

@ethryndal *takes hammer* *looks at it* Does this work on people?

Does it? My washer doesn’t agree with glitter… @ethryndal

Oh my goodness. @kate-flournoy Help me out, I’m not sure I could accurately take the test for Kara… (the MC in my current WIP)

I’m an INFP, and proud. I feel like Kara would be the same…maybe?

Yep! I have work from morning ’til early afternoon, but feel free to drop your response at your convenience. 🙂 @kate-flournoy

Cya!

Erm, the one with Keira Knightly, I think. Regardless, I really enjoyed it… @moriahS

In fact… you could make him the one with the complete thematic truth. That it’s better to face reality than shelter in ignorance. A very unlikely bearer of truth— maybe the reader doesn’t see it at first. But if you give him that, his EiL should be the one that wins.

Agreed. @kate-flournoy

…did you just call me sweetheart? @kate-flournoy

Okay. Foil characters. That fundamental difference can be anything? Like how Tam is brash and boastful and Kara is shy and sheltered? Or a physical difference, like how Tam gets taken out of the prison, and Kara stays?

I love the idea of an impact character. *scribbles this in her notes*

Yeah,…[Read more]

I’ve only seen the Pride and Prejudice move… @moriahS

Yay! Nice work @dragon-snapper

@kate-flournoy *thinks for a moment*

A few examples…
Yes, intelligence is better than ignorance, because if you’re intelligent you can make ignorant people do what you want.
No, intelligence is not better than ignorance, because it’s better to be ignorant than face the horrors of reality.
Yes, it’s better to be intelligent than ignorant, because…[Read more]

Wow. *hugs you* This is awesome. Better than anything I’d hoped for. @kate-flournoy

The concept of an EiL is new to me, too, and it very much excites me. I think I’ll have an easier time with my plotting if I keep this in mind…

Kate, thank you so much for being willing to put so much into this. It means so much to me!

Speaking of plot…I’m…[Read more]

In all seriousness- I’ve grown very found of listening to the Piano Guys on YouTube. Have you heard of them? @moriahS

I’ll be glad to have the company while I can. @dragon-snapper

@kate-flournoy Are you around?

@moriahS *whispers* @ethryndal Has a thing for glitter, fair warning…

Just got home from choir, only to have this conversation with my sister:

“Elizabeth, what are you gonna do now?”
“Write.”
To which she rolled her eyes and responded–with a sigh–“Of course.”

Anyways, I’ll be on until 10:00 or so.
