Sarah Hoven replied to the topic How to write song lyrics – Help! in the forum Music 8 years ago
@warrioroftherealm The only advice I can think of is to keep clearly in mind what you are trying to say, when you are writing it. It’s easy to ramble and say a lot of nothing when you’re trying to be poetic (at least for me.)

@Warrioroftherealm I’ve written one set of lyrics before. As far as the actually poetic style, lyrics aren’t really very different from most other forms of poetry. I don’t believe lyrics need to have meter, but I may be wrong. It’s also not necessary to have the exact same number of syllables in every line, but the difference shouldn’t be more…[Read more]

@WarrioroftheRealm wow, this is really not my field of expertise. 😛 I write poems and sometimes turn them into songs in my head, but as far as actual lyric writing goes, I’m afraid I haven’t got much of anything to offer in the way of knowledge or advice. I’ll let you know if I think of anything though.

@WarrioroftheRealm I make up tunes for poems and songs sometimes, but I don’t have much experience writing the lyrics myself. I’m sorry I can’t help you… 😛

@warrioroftherealm
Sing it to yourself, or someone else. Just like writing, you should read it out loud. Switch words around so they fit the meter you’re singing. -

@anne-of-lothlorien, So glad you love it here as much as I do! 🙂 I too have been blessed with a clean, Christian loving environment here on KP so thank you very much to everyone who makes it happen. You know who you are… 😉 So, yeah, lets thank God for KP. I always feel we ask God for a lot of things, but maybe forget to thank and praise Him as…[Read more]

Mark Kamibaya replied to the topic Favorite Movies in the forum Film 8 years ago
I’ve been studying up on theme. Especially in movies. So I was wondering if you could give: Two movies that have, in your opinion, extremely powerful themes. If you could also give why those movies have such great themes or how they made the theme awesome then that would be even better.
Now I’m not talking about themes like “Peace is better than…[Read more]

Now I’m not talking about powerful themes like “Peace is better than war because true peace isn’t tainted by man.” That’s a decent enough theme. Great even. But it isn’t necessarily powerful…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm Come to think of it. You’re right. I just thought that Cap vs. Iron Man doesn’t fit the type of fiction I write. Thus . . . guy standing over dead body in the middle of the night.

@warrioroftherealm Oh, I hope I get to read it some day! The Peleg Chronicles are the only books I’ve found that have that kind of dragon in them, and I’d like to read more books like that.

Sarah Hoven replied to the topic James Fenimore Cooper in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years ago
@warrioroftherealm I read the Pathfinder when I was 10 or 11. The story was great, but I hated the ending. I cried. I liked the pathfinder, and I was so mad at- was her name Megan?- for marrying Jacques instead. Now that I’m eighteen, I would probably be much more understanding, come to think of it. 🙂

@WarrioroftheRealm 😀 actual reptiles— I just called them magpies because of their hoarding habit.

I haven’t read any of his stuff. Have you read any of his other books, and are they good?

Yes, they were both awesome in different ways.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic James Fenimore Cooper in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years ago
@WarrioroftheRealm oh don’t get me wrong, I love a good sad ending. It’s just that one seemed rather pointless.
My favorite character was probably either Heyward or Hawkeye… what about you? -
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic James Fenimore Cooper in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years ago
@WarrioroftheRealm yes, I’ve read Last of the Mohicans! The book was actually pretty good— great characters; pretty good plot, though personally I found the end a little disappointing. Frontier stories are always fun, though, and the different Indian cultures were fascinating.

Ignore my spelling errors. 🙁 I’m terrible at checking my own writing.
*puts on thinking cap* Hrmmm… well, the first game that comes to mind is Blindman’s Bluff. Then there’s a similar but less ‘dangerous’ game that doesn’t have a name, where ‘It’ stands blindfolded in the middle of the room and one player at a time tries to sneak past (and around) him without getting touched.
And honestly I have zero head for…[Read more]
Thanks for the other game suggestions. Yes, I’ve played that once before and it was lots of fun. @kate-flournoy
Do you mean the theme would be spiritual blindness, and you’d just play physically ‘blind’ games, or would the theme be physical blindness (probably not, but I want to make sure I get what you’re saying. 😉 )?
And ditto to what Kate said about fundraising…sorry. 😛 Have some sort of craft sale, maybe? *helpless shrug*
No @emma-flournoy The theme is about physical blindness as that is what the fundraiser would be for. Helping raise money for tablets that stop River Blindness.
@bluejay, so sorry, no ideas at the moment, but I’ll let you know if I think of something. 🙂
@clairec No worries. Please do. 🙂
Okay. That sounds good. 🙂 What’s River Blindness?
@emma-flournoy River Blindness is cause by black flies that live down near the river. So people go do to get water and…how much information would you like??? It’s pretty graphic.
Ooh… all right, that’s good.
😛
I hope your fundraiser goes well if you do it.
Hmmm…. that’s a great thing to raise funds for, @bluejay! Who will you be giving the money to? (i.e. Compassion, Samaritan’s Purse, a missionary at your church, etc.) Well, the only games I can think of that haven’t already been suggested would be searching through something like rice, blindfolded, to find a small object, like a marble, pebble,…[Read more]
@julia-r The funds will be going to CBM.
Hey, I like that game. You say you’ve done similar games before, can you tell me how much rice would you put in the dish (how big is the dish) and are they allowed to use their hands?
I would get a really big storage container (like utility bins) and fill it with as much rice as you can. Rice is cheap, so it shouldn’t be a cost issue. And yes, you can use your hands! It’s fun to rely only on touch to find things.
Another similar suggestion (this might appeal more to younger folks) is to put the pieces of a 6-piece puzzle in the…[Read more]
@bluejay Would it be indoors or outdoors? I know two games that raise money, but they don’t have a thing to do with blindness. You know the type of game where you try to throw a small object either into a basket or through a small hole in a board or to knock something down? You could charge 25 or 50 cents per toss. The other game is quite a bit…[Read more]
@sarah-h It would be indoors. Thank you SO much for all the wonderful ideas. I have decided not to run the fundraiser so a bit because I am so busy with prier commitments. But the ideas are wonderful and will be in a file for future reference.
