Thank you @writefury! I did sort of do that on purpose— Dallan can’t resist rubbing Harold’s nickname in his face every chance he gets, but maybe I should have made that more obvious or taken it out altogether. 😛

Here’s our character cafe, all ready to go!
The Participating characters
Kate/ @kate-flournoy:
Arianwen
She’s courteous and mature outwardly, with a quick smile and a gracious tongue, but inwardly she’s insecure in a lot of ways. She’s afraid of rejection, afraid to let herself become attached to someone because if the relationship doesn…[Read more] -

You and I must have been posting at the same time, @writefury. 😀 I understand it now, I think.
So let me be the first to introduce my character. Her name is Arianwen— Anwen for short, except only I and her husband are allowed to call her that. So she’s Arianwen to you.
She’s courteous and mature outwardly, with a quick smile and a gracious…[Read more] -

@writefury congrats again! I really enjoyed your prompt. ‘Repeated shoplifting of Skittles…’ so fun. We got a really cool prompt for this week, didn’t we? It made me think of Hornblower. 😀

@writefury Billions…yes, I do believe you’re right. 😉

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Why do you write? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 1 month ago
@writefury— yes! Absolutely! The people inside my head are too awesome to ignore. 😀
@Hope— I also write because I have difficulty finding the kind of stuff I want to read. What better solution?
@the-happy-bookaholic— thought you’d like to know, Sarah, that knowing you’re on this forum has more than once made me triple proofread my posts…[Read more]

Thanks! I really enjoyed your ideas on the butterfly prompt! I’m not quite sure if I will continue this story, but if I do I’ll let you know!:) -

@writefury Thank you, Rosey! lol! Yeah, that thought has crossed my mind. I’ll have to think about a good way to change it… Maybe I can add a footnote. “Check out John Flanagan’s “rangers”” 😀
@hope Thanks!! Gotcha, I’ll work on that. 🙂 And fabulous! I shall also follow you on the pinterest things. 🙂 (Yassssss! Hot chocolate for the win!)

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic It's Just a Little Poem in the forum Poetry Critiques 9 years, 1 month ago
@writefury— thank you! That helps. I see what you’re saying, definitely.
@Daeus… um… that’s a beautiful poem there, Daeus. 😛 😉 I… think I may see what you’re saying. I’ll take your word for it that it’s easy… it certainly doesn’t sound easy! 🙂
Yes! That’s one of the great things about Middle-earth. There’s poetry everywhere, and it…[Read more] -

@writefury I just wanna say congrats on winning the writing prompt again! I loved your submission— I never thought of taking the butterfly’s POV. You did great. I really enjoyed it. Especially that the butterfly’s name was Harold— I have an MC named that. 🙂
-
Thanks! 🙂 I felt a little bad about that actually… I’ve done something like this before (with the weekly prompt, word limit and all…) and I’ve won 2 of the 5 that have been done so far. If I win again I might drop out for a few weeks. 😛
Cool! Yeah, you mentioned that before. Actually, I named him Harold because I had a stuffed blue butterfly…[Read more]-
Awwwww… how SWEET!
No seriously, I used to have a little stuffed beanie baby puppy… sniff sniff… I named him ‘Pettum’ because I liked to pet ‘im. 😛I was a little younger then.
-
Aww… that’s actually not a bad name. 😉
I named my first baby doll “Bill”. It was dressed in pink and had big eyelashes and curly hair. XD-
Oh LOVELY. Poor tyke. 😛

Oh my, what a deep question! We could spend years dissecting this one thing, but I’ll spare you the ordeal of everything I could find to say on this subject. 😛
A few things that raise red flags in my mind are as follows:
1. Does the person disregard the taking of life as a necessary part of living? Even hardened warriors do not slay for…[Read more]

@writefury Yo, that was a seriously awesome writing prompt submission you sent in. Congrats on being this weeks winner. And now I definitely totally want to read that story. I think you have to turn it into a novel now. You have no choice.
-
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! It was fun to write. XD Well, if I’m going to make it into a novel, I’ll definitely have to look up some more science on wormholes. I was kinda going off the top of my head, science-wise there. 😛
-
Well, it doesn’t have to be hard sci-fi. In fact, you make it more of a fantasy story that has sci-fi elements, such as wormholes. The MC could just have some kind of special ability that allows him to make wormholes, or maybe he has studied them a lot and talks about how he could explain it all, but doesn’t want to bore the reader. You don’t have…[Read more]

Okay. The wormhole Wikipedia page gave me way too many ideas. Now to figure out a non-cliche time travel plot… Maybe I should start a topic?

Hope Ann replied to the topic Heavy Ending in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 9 years, 2 months ago
@writefury Bury his father before the fight…that is a really good idea. It would have to be a quick funeral, because the enemy is outside the city, but that would help cut down on the last chapter where there are already a few other events. The ‘mystery man’ is more of an ‘Aha’ moment, than a huge subplot, and if I move the funeral, then I can…[Read more]
Thanks, Kate! 😀 I got the idea because the guy on the left looked like he was wearing a mask. Though asking my siblings, apparently I was the only one who saw it. 😛
Yeah, this next one’s going to be fun! Interesting, the details… did you notice that the guy is wearing a suit and tie? But yet that’s the hull of a wooden boat and his hands are…[Read more]
Ooh… I didn’t notice the suit and tie. I noticed the wooden boat and the ropes, though…
I’m going to have fun with this one.
I mean I always do, but some more than others. 😀
