Abbey Bishop

I did some research and it seems like Thomas is most likely your name.

I did find other names meaning twin, just in case your name is a bit more obscure.  Those names are:

Atsu
Foma
Gemini
Maas
Maso
Mukhwana
Odion
Tam
Tamas
Tamati
Tamhas
Tau’ma
Thom

@parker I wouldn’t mind at all. It might take me a little while, but I’d be happy to make time to critique it!

@parker I don’t write mystery and I haven’t ever written an entire novel, but I would like to offer my critiquing experience. I’m pretty good at editing others’ works due to my killer observational skills.

Welcome to the gang, @karthmin ! I applaud you for admitting that you aren’t quite ready to take on a novel. I honestly should try to write more short stories, but here I am stubbornly trying to write a novel (it’s not going very well). I noticed that the few short stories I attempt to write all feel like they belong to larger stories.

I’m left…[Read more]

I’m pretty happy with my writing style. Although, I do struggle with deciding what’s important to my novel. I tend to overlook setting, only mentioning little snippets of it every now and then. I’ve been told that I should really describe my setting more, but I have no idea how to begin. I am writing a science fiction novel, so I did have to world…[Read more]

It is A-OK to write dark stories. I find that dark stories can very effectively point out the ills in the world that other people ignore. Some Christian writers do sugarcoat their works (which is perfectly fine), but the real world isn’t all hunky-dory. There is so much evil in this world and in our own hearts too. I feel like…[Read more]

Hey there! I cannot even convey how excited I am to be a part of this guild. So, I guess I’ll have to show it through my actions. Luckily, I brought a gigantic virtual pizza with me.

*distributes pizza amongst fellow guild members*

Luckily, virtual pizza is any flavor you want! ( I prefer pepperoni.)

Before you devour your pizza, allow me to…[Read more]

@carolyn-matthews Nice to meet you! I love the jelly fish featured on your profile picture. Did you take the picture yourself?

@mariposa I actually don’t quite know yet. They basically get to decide whether things like acting, costumes, and props are working or not. There will be a lot of decision making and a need for creative solutions. I do know for a fact that the assistant director will play a big part in the casting of characters and feeding actors lines during…[Read more]

@mariposa I’ve been in a total of 5 plays and 3 musicals so far. I do have a pretty good amount of acting experience, but that’s also my downfall. I’ve never once been on the technical side of a show. I’m hoping to change that this year by applying to be an assistant director.

@raemarie Yeah, so I actually just responded to Mariposa about my favorite play. (I didn’t see your reply until now). My favorite musical is “The Theory of Relativity”. It consists of many different songs that follow several different story lines. The whole musical examines human experience and it even throws in a couple of Physics phrases too.…[Read more]

@mariposa My favorite play would have to be The Treasure of Shiver River. It’s a melodrama, so it requires extreme over-exaggeration. I was actually in a production of it three years ago. I was Paige Turner and I loved books. (All the names were puns.) It was so much fun. I got to talk with a Southern nasal whine. The one line I still remember is…[Read more]

@ajaj2000 Thinking about squirrels, I used to have a bunch of squirrels who lived in my attic. They ended up digging through the attic floor and began to reside in the walls. Long story short, a baby squirrel found its way into the oven. It was quite saddening.

@parker *appreciates the confetti and grins* Why, thank you! I’m glad to be here.

@raemarie Hi! I’m currently working on a science fiction novel called Dijetka, but it might turn into a novella. (I can’t ever get my word count to agree with me.) It’s about the power of storytelling and the importance of emotions. As for my music preferences, I listen mainly to musicals and operas. Although, only obscure and underappreciated s…[Read more]

@mariposa Nice to meet the two of you! My profile picture IS a triceratops. I got him at the Creation Museum.

My hobbies include writing (of course) and acting. Theatre plays a huge part in my life. Being on stage is such an incredible experience. I can’t get enough of it! This coming spring, my high school will be putting on a production of The…[Read more]

@ajaj2000 Hi there! I came up with the idea of Dijetka a year ago, after watching a video of a lecture on Writing Fantasy and Science Fiction. The professor, Brandon Sanderson, challenged his students to create a story that they’ve always wanted to read because they are the only ones who can write it. His words spoke to me, so I decided to take…[Read more]
