The Bean

You know you’re a writer when you’re so distracted planning a plot twist that you unwrap a Starburst, put the candy in the trash and the wrapper in your mouth. Then you spit it out and make a disgusted face, then morph into making faces that your MC could make when he’s poisoned.

You know you’re a easily distracted writer when you start out…[Read more]

Thanks for the input on titles. I think I will do Fourth Rule, etc. without the ‘the’ Sorry @the-bean. It’s a tough life.

23,316 words!!!!! I’m so happy! But I’m still behind. Guess who tried to write at eleven o clock at night and woke up on the couch?

Anyone around for 20 minutes of writing?

@hope @Daeus – Yes, I agree with the villain things you said. I always like the point that villains aren’t born with an insatiable desire for world-dominance. Something has to instigate it. Besides being born with sin-nature like everyone else, we don’t really have villains from the cradle.

@kate-flournoy – I do like being able to hop from…[Read more]

@hope – That’s okay. I’m at my grandma’s house, and I can always reload on sweets here. You are right about the extra words. I still haven’t gone home yet, so no writing been done today, so I might only have the evening to write. Ah, what’s another late night in the grand scheme of things. I think my whole life has been training me for NANOWRIMO.…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper – Yes along with all my metal thingys in my pockets I usually have paper and a pen and pencil. I don’t carry notebooks in my pocket because they get bent. You carry a saddlebag around? I carry a backpack to basically everywhere, even church, but it’s so cool! @corissa-maiden-of-praise has the same one I do, and instead of things…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy – True about human people. Hee hee. I mean my evil is not a presence/spirit, but a real person with the qualities that human’s normally have.

@kate-flournoy @Daeus – It is so much more interesting to write complex people for villains. @hope had a writing prompt on twitter or pinterest about a villain who is working undercover in a…[Read more]

Oh I forgot to tag people for my question.

@anne-of-lothlorien I’m afraid I haven’t had that problem, or whatever you want to call that. I really only talk to my stuff, and other people. My conversations are with my things. Its a good thing they never talk back, though, because that could get interesting.

@writefury Well, my writing is littered with it, though I can use a sentence every…[Read more]

@the-bean That’s very interesting. So different from our system. It’s neat that you actually have Christian parties. Here, many Christians are Republican, but I don’t know if the Republican party itself is Christian.

@anna-brie Uhoh, you have the marriage issue over there, too? It’s scary here. If you’re in business, you literally have to…[Read more]

Christian, first of all. I have strong political convictions, and at the same time I’m not really into politics.
Anti-federalist – me too! History books say they were impractical, but I don’t care. Conservative Republican. I like the Tea Party people. What is Libertarian? It sounds like “liberal”, but it can’t be. Ummm, what else? I liked Ted…[Read more]

@The-Bean another INFP! Wow, we’re everywhere! 😀

@the-bean
Actually, the idea of getting to see all this happening is just encouraging me… although I appear to have lost an ally. Come on @christi-eaton

@the-bean Yeah, I’m done.

@Christi-eaton You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. Besides, after we defend ourselves and your plot is destroyed, us forum folks can snack on roasted beans.
@the-bean 😀 😀

@the-bean @dragon-snapper @brandon-miller, I don’t even know how to respond to this. I mean, fiery beans? The forum has some interesting guardians.

@the-bean
@Brandon-miller The Bean is right, you know. Beans hurt when they gain momentum from a couple thousand feet up in the sky. They’ve been known to destroy homes.

@rolena-hatfield Thanks 🙂 Oh, that’s so cool! Haha, I’m reading The Horse and His Boy, my favorite book in my favorite series ever 😀
@sarah-h I help my parents with the Kids’ Program, which does things like Sunday School, VBS, camps, and other activities. I’m in charge of a little library; so I have a box or bag filled with books, and the kids…[Read more]

1. Figure skating is one of my favorite sports. FALSE
2. I hate avocado and anything containing avocado. TRUE
3. I know how to wiggle my ears. TRUE

@the-bean
Good job! You guessed correctly. 🙂

@rolena-hatfield
Nope, #2 is true! I really do hate avocado.

@sarah-h
I actually do hate guacamole…I don’t know why. I wish I liked it!…[Read more]
