Would your character rather be able to see the future or become a dragon?
Zach: “Wow! Which one . . . You know, I think I’ll become a Dragon. But I assure you, I would be a good dragon that would help rescue the damsels in distress instead of eating them.”
Tisha: “I’ll see the future. Probably depressing but insightful.”
Megyn: *considers a…[Read more]

*Pokes head in at the door* “Hello, dusty old room! I got the invite!” *ushers in Jim and Tisha, who wipe their boots and take seats* *Zach (my newest charrie) strides in with a charming smile and shows Megyn to her seat, making her laugh at his jokes*
Me: “Okay, okay. Here we go-”

Oh, now you’ve got me in a corner! LOL! Let’s see – like say a villain set out to find hope for himself, that something that would fulfill him. Of course, he goes all the wrong patha looking for it, commiting all manner of evil to get it, but still is empty. Untill, right as he is commiting or aabout his worst evil yet, someone does…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien I do the same thing, though sometimes in reverse. Like a piece of instrumental music will inspire lyrics in my head.

@sir-leeds Well, it was meant to be lyrical. Most of what I write is meant to be song . . . someday. But sometimes, like this one, it was just me processing what I wanted to say to someone but didn’t know how. A song that was meant to be sung to someone but probably never will be.
So, in short, yes. Though I’m not really sure it would…[Read more]

@sir-leeds Hello!
I guess I would consider poetry part of who I am. It’s my way of processing, enjoying and struggling with life ever since I was little. Lately I haven’t written as many complete poems, (working full-time is more taxing on one’s creative life than I thought). Now I now expert by any means, but I still enjoy a good poem whenever…[Read more]

@scoutfinch190 It’s actually an Adventures in Odyssey fanfiction. It’s a radio drama my family listens to.

@naiya-dyani *very sad face* My characters and I will miss you and yours when you’re gone. But I understand completely. And I’ll help figure out how to usher them back to their world.

😔 You will be missed! I’m honored that you would dare to entrust any of your children to me. But I think the only ones I’ll carry on are Pasha and Altan. I’ll do my best to continue to continue them as you would have. And feel free to keep checking back with me to see how I do and tell me if I mishandle them.

Hey sister there a lot I could say
Bottled up inside of me. A well over flowing, never empty
But I can’t. It just seems like there’s no way
Words are just too weak. My phrases fail to meet the needI’m burning with desire, all consumed with this fire
Of wanting to do something to help
I’m standing right here watching as you struggle
And wishing…[Read more] -

@sparrowhawke I like this! It’s raw and honest. I don’t think I would change anything in it. Keep writing! 🙂

Would you rather wear the same outfit every day (it’s clean, it’s just that all your outfits are the same) or wear a different outfit every day for the rest of your life?
Dayton: “I don’t care. As long as it is clean and professional in appearance, it matters little what I wear.”

Yeah, it’s right in the middle of a chase scene in a fanfiction I’m writing. The POV is actually from “his” perspective.

No, actually, the artistic license was a good inspiration. So,more like this?
A teenage girl stood before him. Every ragged gasp heaved her thin shoulders as each nerve in her slender figure quivered. Tatters of stained clothing hung from her short frame. Stains from sweat and dirt covered her from head to foot. Her hands and…[Read more]
