@Rachelle I actually haven’t seen the movie. 😛

Ahhhh… the corrupt government. *grins* The age old debate. To rebel or not to rebel? That is the question. XD
I personally believe that any citizen taking justice into their own hands against the law is not acceptable whether or not the government is corrupt. God only ever said that it was the…[Read more]

@Rachelle not at all. 😀 Intellectual stimulation is definitely encouraged. XD

It’s actually pretty simple. Justice stems from the government/judicial system because the government/judicial system is in charge of seeing justice done in God’s name— punishing the wicked and protecting the righteous. That is the whole purpose of a government…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper You know you’re a procrastinator when you see someone mention the sign on the top of their computer that says “back to work” and think ‘I need that. Why haven’t I done that yet?’

@Aratrea I won’t be able to do any of those. :'( It’s the time, unfortunately. That specific period is really busy for our whole family on any normal day, and with a new baby in the house (yes! New little sister; tenth sibling! 😀 ) I would feel really bad about shrugging my work off on the others, even if only for an hour.
You guys have fun though. 🙂

@Adry_Grace nooooo! Discussions are supposed to be nice and long with lots of opinions… *sniff* Next time I’m going to stay off until other people have said things. XD

@TheLiteraryCrusader someone has done it. someone has finally described the entirety of my pathetic writing career in one post. *applauds*

@Rachelle

*bursts in poof of sparkles*

Timing. Is. Amazing.

Funnily enough, not only am I reading (in my opinion) the best revenge plot ever write, a la Hamlet, but am also writing a paper on Hamlet/Revenge vs Justice. But I don’t really have anything to say beyond what @kate-flournoy said soooo… darn it, Kate, you’re always so thorough.…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper the Kateses welcome you Writermania Drive. Please leave your sanities at the door. XD

@Daeus can we just address the fact that every single remotely sensible person who’s joined KP seems to have developed the trademark split personality after about a year on the forum? XD

@Daeus *cackles* Have a cookie.

@Alia thank you. 😀 She was lots of fun to draw. I love red hair.

@TheLiteraryCrusader YESSSSSSSSSSSSSYESYESYESYES! This is perfect on every possible level. :’D Thank you for sharing. I’m inspired. XD

@Rachelle *evil cackling* Awesome topic.

Short answer: Revenge is bad. Vengeance is Mine, saith the Lord. I will repay.

Long answer: that doesn’t mean you can’t have revenge in your story. Even a successful revenge. But for the sake of truth, it should never be without consequences. There are always consequences when man takes God into his own…[Read more]

@graciegirl the amount of disgust I feel at myself when that happens isn’t humanly healthy.

You know you’re a writer when you have blogger friends that you talk to more than your real friends.

Well, it took me a while to find my way back here but…

@Mark-Kamibaya

This was deep. I liked your distinction between a general antihero and a true antihero. It’s something I hadn’t before thought of and now that I think about agree with. Distinction is necessary. I think that’s where my personal definition fell short, that and not clarifying…[Read more]

@daeus @kate-flournoy yes that’s going up on my wall too.

Seek truth, not trends.

@Daeus with or without your permission I am putting that on my wall.

I have said this before and I will say it 1 million times more::

if your story isn’t interesting without the romantic subplot then you’re doing it wrong

the obvious exception to this being if you’re writing purely in the romance genre. I feel like, yeah, that is a trap too many authors fall into. The y want you to think”there has to be romance…[Read more]
