The Bean

@Adry_Grace yes, you’re right. I totally agree. When I said first page, I meant it more figuratively than literally. 😉 First page as in the beginning— the first chunk of story we get.

Hey, that’s awesome @Daeus! Oh, totally don’t let me stop you from watching LotR— I completely don’t mind!

Wow… I envy you. Enjoy it for me. 😉

@Daeus I’m writing tonight… as I have said, I am operating on the mental capacity of a baked potato (and the energy quotient of an amoeba) but I can’t stand it any longer. I have to write.

Or at least try to write. 😛

Are you writing tonight?

@Daeus good idea.

That is, it would be if I even remembered what I was thinking when I wrote that. I am currently operating on the mental capacity of a baked potato.

I believe, however, that I was referring somewhat to foreshadowing.
And for the rest, I simply meant that the beginning should set up the ending. I should have clarified that— I…[Read more]

Wow, guys, have fun! I’m afraid I’m going to have to skip this one @Daeus. Life is being its typical annoying self and getting in the way. 😉

No. That’s not fair. I totally agree with everything @Daeus said. You have my sincerest condolences and sympathies, @Jadamae.
The solution to the climax of every single book should exist from the very first page— and we need to have some sort of inkling of what it is from the very first page. It doesn’t have to be obvious. But it has to be…[Read more]

@Daeus what… something tells me that’s supposed to be Pig Latin but I can’t make head nor tail of it. 😛

@Daeus
The Hobbit.
Charlotte’s Web.
Through the Looking Glass.

@Bluejay do you speak from experience?! 😛

Ah! I get it. Kangaroos. *phew* I was a little concerned for a while there. 😉

*Mad. Responds in gibberish*

Aw… I like that one. That’s really sweet. Good job, @Jadamae.

*hysterical snicker* Forget it.

There. The arc is complete. I’ve gone hysterically mad. The end.

@Daeus

*glowers blackly* I write stories, @Daeus. I have no wish to become one.

That would be a great story though… 😉

*sigh* Only a writer…

Ha! Believe me @Daeus, I am not about to let a mad scientist anywhere near my precious brain. Thank you very much.

Giant rats!? Ugh… 😉 I’ve always envied you guys over there the platypus, though. 😀 Good work on the poem. You listed such a random bunch of stuff, and yet it wove a completely coherent picture. I love it. 🙂

@Bluejay

Thank you @Bluejay.

@Daeus I probably won’t be writing tonight. Or tomorrow. Or…well, it’s gonna be spotty for possibly a whole month. I’m undergoing sound therapy and basically completely reprogramming my brain, so I’m totally exhausted. All my creative juices are sapped for the time being.
I may, however, get surges of inspiration—or just get so sick with…[Read more]

@Hope believe it or not I hadn’t heard that one— I went and looked it up, and you’re right, it’s amazing. *sniff* So sad and nostalgic.
