Daeus started the topic Want to read about theme in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 9 months ago
Hi friends,
I’m submitting a guest post called Theme Made Simple to a writing blog here in a couple days. I’d like to get a few people to look over it before I submit it, so if you’re interested in theme, have at it. It’s only 900 words, but there’s a ton backed in…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm Try Rora for historical fiction. It’s a tale of a Waldensian resistance fighter and it has some good political intrigue in it.

Any book recommendations? I’m looking for fantasy or historical fiction (or even historical nonfiction) with political intrigue, or just intrigue in general. Or maybe just some clean reads……[Read more]

@sam-kowal That synopsis is great. 😀  Where can I read this book? 😛
I’ve taken to just sharing my story premise.
“Oh, my book? It’s about these guys who are trying to steal this thing from the dark lord before he figures out it has the power to release him from his captivity.”
Never mind that description lacks any life whatsoever. They d…[Read more]

@everyone Wow, what fun! This is a great idea.
I don’t have a lot of funny stories, but…all those times that my mom shuts my laptop down for me and I have a mini heart-attack, hoping that all the tabs about unique baby boy names, synonyms for the word ‘pungent’ and villain pictures on Pinterest are not still open…
Oh and also when I’m w…[Read more]

@epicaddie2Â One more thing…this is a story that has inspired me in the darkest times of my life.
One night a man had a dream. He dreamt he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints on the sand — one belonging to him and the other to the Lord. When…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 I wish I could hug you right now! I totally know what you’re going through…I’ve been there myself and it’s so easy to lose sight of the fact that God is there with us no matter what. And if it’s any encouragement, you have friends here. Hang in there and keep plowing through. God has something absolutely beautiful plan…[Read more]

Here are a few (they all mean star in various languages):

Hopefully these are helpful. I love your new profile pic, by the way! 🙂

Daeus replied to the topic Fighting The Block in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 9 months ago
@dragon-snapper There are lots of good takes on this here. I agree with them. I’ll just post two other ideas.
1. Take a break, but not from your book. Take a break just to dream about your book. Imagine yourself in scenes. Dream about backstory you’ve never thought of. Just dream.
2. I think writing isn’t always so much about our books as it is…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic PRAYER REQUESTS #2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 9 months ago
@epicaddie2 That is totally relatable.
I’ll be remembering to pray for you, because this is very similar to what I face, only it’s not a loneliness issue but still a faith issue.
If I could say two things to encourage you, first of all, “In everything give thanks.” Boy, this helps. I think we feel depressed because we feel weak. In thankfulness,…[Read more]

Random social stranger at a random social function: “Oh, you write books? Cool! What’s your book about?”
Me, randomly trying to function socially: *stilted grin and shivering, nervous laugh* “Here, let me… let me…” *digs out notebook with a triumphant flourish* “I wrote it down!”

@Dragon-Snapper ugh I am so sorry. I have no idea why it does that to you. *offers you conciliatory chocolate*
Yeah… trying to pitch your book on the spur of the moment is torture. Especially if the person is just trying to make conversation and you can tell they really don’t care. And then you walk away from the encounter and think of a dozen…[Read more]

@jenwriter17Â my most memorable and embarrassing writerly moment will always be the time I had to explain to the chiropractor that my hip was out of place because I slipped on our hardwood floor choreographing a fight scene… he was very nice about it, but the startled, slightly skeptical sidelong look he gave me, and the funny little laugh,…[Read more]

Yep, he does and he is! His cousin (who is older than him by some years) accidentally helped him realize the corruption when he arrested Rafe’s parents for treason (or similar; still working that out) when Rafe was young. Rafe has a position in the government because of his relations, but is actually just doing what he’s told by them as a…[Read more]

@Ethryndal We just watched Rogue One, and *flails* CASSIAN!!!
For old times’ sake, you know. XD
But SERIOUSLY. O.o
-
HA!!! Oh my goodness, I love you. *recalls the twenty-two page email chain about RO*
We just went through all the Star Warses (how do you say that plural?) before Last Jedi came out, and… *flails* He really is a dear little grump.And K-2SO…
“Do you want to know the odds of her using that blaster against you? They’re high. They’re very high.”

We went through all the Star Wars(es? Gollum-speak, maybe…) before TLJ too, except Rogue One since it didn’t HAVE to be seen before TLJ. So we just finally got around to watching it. Caroline and Douglas didn’t really flail over it, which makes me sad. But I have enough flails to make up for it, so *FLAILS*
YES. And him and Cassian.…[Read more]

(Oh, and except the prequels but that goes without saying. ;P)

You know, I’m really ashamed of those two. They just did not inherent good flailing genes. *shakes head sternly* Here’s a flail to join your flail to make up for their lack of flails.

“I thought I told you to stay at the ship!”
“You did, but I thought it was boring.”HA, yes, Krennic’s grown on me too. What personality type, do you…[Read more]

It’s sad.

“There were a lot of explosions for two people just blending in.”
INFP, I think.
There’s such variation within the kind…NO. *vigorous nodding* And I think he’s an INFP too. MUCH variation within the kind. 😛 Did you have any ideas as to what he and Krennic were?
-
“I will help you, Jyn Erso… Because Cassian says I have to.”
*chokes* INFP? HA! That’s hilarious. I don’t think I would have guessed that for Krennnic. I can see it with Bohdi, though he always hit me as more of an E. Honestly, RO characters are really hard to type. Maybe because we don’t get to know them as well as other movie characters? I…[Read more]

Me either, until Kate elaborated, and then it made more sense. Slightly at least. And I know, especially ’cause Bohdi talks so much! I’ve thought maybe he’s an ENFP, but then he seems so…nervous and almost shy sometimes. I dunno. (But at any rate, I adore his and Galen’s relationship.) I think that’s a safe theory, about RO characters. A good…[Read more]
-
Awww, I know. They’re relationship was the best, even if there wasn’t very much of it.
I still think he’s an ISTJ… Reminds me of a hardened Horatio, what with being a stickler for rules and following orders and all that stuff. And his ability to compartmentalize death and the horrible things he’s done seems very Thinkerish, in my humble (and…[Read more]

HA! That’s hilarious. (Okay maybe not exactly, but…you get the point.) Poor us. I dunno. It’s always possible…we humans do tend to see things from our own individual viewpoints.

Ugh. I accidentally just deleted my comment. You probably got the notification already, but I’m doing it again anyway. I said, looks like I’m outta luck, ’cause I looked him up and almost everyone says ISTJ or ISTP. *mopes* You’ve got the majority on your side at least. I read…[Read more]

😂 I know I sent you an article about them. I hadn’t forgotten. *smirk* But it didn’t exactly say everything there was to know about them, thus, it still may have been confusing. But I’m glad it wasn’t!

By majority.

Hi there fellow KePeefers! I’m sorry I’ve been absent from here a lot; I’m doing college courses and don’t have too much free time at the moment.

Welcome to KP @Valtmy! Always good to have another INTJ around. We have quite a few, and what’s more, quite a few female ones, for all their being as rare as unicorns. 😉 The writer life must be good to them. Or something like that.
