@wordsmith Weren’t you leaving for bed? Oh, wait… I was too. XD At least I’m not alone. And yeah, the Hobbit movies… I hated how much change there was, and how much they left out. Plus the CGI orcs just weren’t as great. Not ‘real’ enough, like they were in LofR… as real as a grotesquely fake creature can be.

@ericawordsmith  –  I respectfully agree to disagree. 😀 Can we see the fan art, though? Pretty please?! I need a fangirling squeal moment. Or maybe tomorrow since you need to go to bed. And I should have been in bed before now, as well. This place is addictive.

I’m very fortunate with the young men in my acquaintance because outside of my f…[Read more]

@cassandraia Thank you! I got the idea really from a all the descriptions we give of peoples feelings like ‘His anger boiled inside him’ or ‘Her happiness spilled over into her words’ and I thought ‘what would it be like to actual see our feelings doing actions?’.

@wordsmith Yeah, me too. It has been really fun and helpful, and this is also why I love this place so much, because of conversations like these.

@wordsmith Oh, cool. Sound interesting.

I totally get the weird don’t worship me thing. Won’t do it, don’t worry. People should be admired for their talents, not worshiped. Though it is okay to take pride in something you’re good at, remember. But bowing does take it a little too far.

I actually wrote something a while back, a random thoughts…[Read more]

@wordsmith @catwing We also have an art section of the forum, if you’re interested in that, to share ideas and projects.

@wordsmith What’s world building group? Is that part of the guilds here?

Okay, I clicked your profile pic. Yeah, big smiles and babies don’t usually make a person appear imposing… 😀 Greatly talented is a better way to put it.

@millennium-m You can hear it a million and one times… Show, don’t tell. Really, really, really true. When you use actions to describe a character’s emotions, readers can feel connected on a deeper level than just reading ‘he was steaming mad’. Maybe they’ve also been through and done similar things and by reading something that jogs a similar…[Read more]

@wordsmith So you’re not siblings but you still know what school she’s doing? I guess that’s not weird when I think about it but it just seems so. Never mind.

I actually can’t really see your profile picture that well. They appear very small on my laptop. It looks like two faces, but I can’t see much more.

@wordsmith No, I’m not really that great of a detective. I just have an unfortunately large amount of pride and like to think I’m great at it. More likely I’d be the humble assistant who has a few good ideas now and then. Though I am taking forensic science for school this year, for my senior year science, and it’s awesome!

I humbly kneel in the…[Read more]

@wordsmith –  Possibly sibling of many a person. I like it.

@brandon-miller  –  He’s right, you’d never make it as a criminal. You’d have him on your tail, plus me, one of the best detectives in history, considering I’m in all of history! I time travel a lot, mostly to London to work with Sherlock Holmes and Jason Whittacker.

@cassandraia  – …[Read more]

@wordsmith @evelyn … *cricket chirp* Yeah, confused. So you’re not actually siblings by blood but it seems that you could be related because of mutual interests/personality traits/other? I get that –  a friend of mine at church I’ve adopted as my older sister because we are best friends, so much alike, I don’t have an older sister, and she…[Read more]

@wordsmith Yeah, you did seem to interact like brothers. 😀 Ooh, I wish I was in the guilds! I missed the sign-ups and they haven’t opened them again yet. Yeah, you did seem to interact like brothers. 😀

That is oh so close. I’m getting warmer, I think, to catching the envisioning I’ve had for the ending. I think it would be good to have…[Read more]

I meant, @brandon-miller. My new motto, just so you know, is IHT. I hate tags.

@wordsmith Is Evelyn your sister? I don’t know all the people here that are related besides the Flournoys. And that’s easy to tell not only because I know them but because how many people are named Flournoy?

@brandon @wordsmith Hey what are friends for except to tease each other, right? 😀 Or are you brothers?

I think, Brandon, you’ve hit on the reason I never liked Kili and Tauriel that much. I didn’t want it to happen, I never saw them as a couple that would work together and not just because of the height difference, so I wasn’t pleased when it…[Read more]

@andrew Just so you know, fanged deer are actually a thing. Like seriously, deer with fangs. They’re called musk deer. Look em up.

As for world building… If another race is just going to be in the background kind of floating around there and not have a purpose for the story, you might as well not go through the work of creating them. Ancient…[Read more]

@ericawordsmith @wordsmith – Yeah, I’m not too fond of Kili and Tauriel. I… don’t really like them. Obviously I cried when he died and wished he hadn’t, but there was just never that ‘thing’ about them that made me like their romance. Plus, I’m a big ‘by the book’ person, which is why I don’t like the Hobbits as much as Lord of the Rings, and…[Read more]

@wordsmith  –  Here it is. The last part is more final, starting from where she ‘thought up a storm’. The earlier part might need more work since that’s the part I added recently.

I didn’t know what to do. The whole town stood there, waiting for me to speak, waiting for my decision.

“Hey, um, just so you know.” Clay stepped forward, hands s…[Read more]

@jane-maree  –  Thanks for the tips! I especially love the 90% better one. I find that’s true with just my good friends. I only see them once a week at church, and it just makes my whole day better.

@wordsmith  –  I’ll post it up here after these answers. And “Who knows when the board might punch back?”… best response to that story I’ve eve…[Read more]

Um, @daeus-lamb, I’m a little confused about TGZ one. TDoN is good. thumbs up.

But you have two synopsis, synopsises, synopsi, however it is, posted in your most recent on for TGZ. The first one is the one we said was weird. The second one is better, but this sentence, “There is also the issue golden ziggurat lurking in his mind…” doesn’t make s…[Read more]
