@StephanieJ
IRELAND <3
I mean -cough-
Hi! Welcome to Kingdom Pen!:D@kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy and any other hornblower fans XD
@GracieGirl
d’awww, well I’m glad you enjoyed it. <3 just finished up draft 2 of that so maybe we’ll have publishing in the process. -crosses fingers-
@kate-flournoy oh my gosh, the color scheme…. o-othat they actually make sense and add a meaning and a story behind the music, mostly? I’ve seen quite a few that make absolutely zero sense and it takes away from the music itself. (-cough- “More Of You” and “Thunder” are the ones that come to mind…) and then For King & Country always do incredible jobs with theirs. <3
@kate-flournoy + @everyoneelsewholikedthosecollages thank you!!
@GracieGirl – heyyyy i didn’t know you read Blank Mastermind! -hugs you and spins you around- thank you!
also you’re incredible at that whole photo-blending thing, wow girl. o-o what program are you using?Welcome to KP @seekjustice! -throws confetti-
Heyyy, I think I might have seen you around the internet before. You’ve got the Open Pen critique tab on your blog and I was in on that. 😀
-sticks out hand- I’m writefury.And here I’m back with three character collages
One for my character Cobalt Winter
One for Dallas Knight
(-inconsistency because I’m still trying to find a good face for Dallas)and one for Wolfgang Dankworth (I have way too many collages of Wolfgang. He’s spoiled.)
@christi-eaton ooh I’ve listened to a little of that one <3
@radicalglitter well thank you, i’m only more conflicted about having too many favorite marvel characters now. XD
but very good writeup. -claps--pokes in- pretttyyyy
i have a ton of character collages stacked up so i’m gonna have to go get some. XDweeeelcome to KP, Cassie.
good job, you made me go dig up my annoyingly easy-to-forget password. XD@dragon-snapper Exactly. XD
@dragon-snapper Eeeexactly. It’s so much more fun to give everyone exclamations that closer fit their personality than just ‘well he would have sworn there and that’s bad so I’ll just gloss over’.
Another wonderfully creative substitute that I absolutely love…
Anybody read Tintin?
This is a great topic. <3 -hops over to add my two cents-
In what I’m working on right now, I’m writing from the perspective of a certain guy who’s… actually quite foul mouthed. But the thing is that it’s not the total sum of his thoughts a lot and it works just fine to go “I swore under my breath as I checked my watch” and still keep it within the realms of what would be realistic for him. And while he tends to explode at people, curse words are not the only words in his vocabulary. His favorite exclamation happens to be “holy smoke” which is pretty clean, compared. (Also been known to call certain others “goody gumdrop” and “teetotaler” because that fit what he was mad at them for better than any curse word.)
Another kind of filter I put in place is that I’m reading the book out loud to my younger siblings after every chapter, so anything I wouldn’t be okay with saying out loud to them either gets cut or glossed over pretty well.
However, I did kinda leave a bit in at a climactic speech moment, because it really would have been weird to just cut off the end and say ‘and then he said a swear which is bad so dun do that’. So yeah. I’m good with it used sparingly. And creativity is a wonderful substitute. <3
