I looooove vellum paper.  So much that I horde it and never use it. Silly but true.

Would it work to tape it with masking tape to a drawing board? Then you could do the artwork, then peel it off when you’re done?

Can we see the watercolors too??

@esther-sears

I’m stalking this conversation to see how the RP thing works! Do you speak/act out a defined situation as that character to see how they’d act and get a better read on them?

@naiya-dyani

Ohh! That’s lovely.  What medium? The grays are so soft and such a nice contrast to the crisp green of the eyes.

@naiya-dyani

I think most of that is realistic.  Not feeling sure enough of himself (especially always having been an outsider in his tribe), he would be ridiculously devoted to his friends and always trying to make the world good for them.  Even to the detriment of himself.  Yes, I can see that pretty easily.   I was once described as a bull…[Read more]

And now I’m under the weather but I’m hoping tomorrow to read it again and leave more comments, if that’d helpful!

@naiya-dyani

I’m not a guy INFP but I am a very deeply rooted one.  And I know a man infp.

I’d be very interested to see what other INFP’s say but I’m two people.  The outer shell I have to be to survive. Things like checkout lines, human interaction, and paying bills.  It’s not thick and it’s not the true me. Like @trallion said, if someone re…[Read more]

@esther-sears

Did a quick read through.  I’ll leave more comments tomorrow but changes look good!

@esther-sears

Yes, I can do that! In a Google Doc?

@esther-sears

That’s fantastic! Glad to be of help.

And there’s a lot more to the story.  It all started as a five page fairy tale and went wild.

I do have more that’s just about ready.  I’m so excited that someone actually enjoys reading it, the time frame is inconsequential!

@elisha-starquill

I sent you an email! Because it’s more fun to say it with upbeat punctuation!! Yehaw!!!

@esther-sears

You’ve already given me a great gift. I’ve worked on this manuscript a long time.  Long. Eons almost.  You took a chance and read it. That was an immense blessing to me.  I feel more motivated and eager to finish than I ever have.

Your comments were very helpful.  Especially since I plopped you right down in the story with no exp…[Read more]

Yes… There are facets of the forum that defeat me! Here’s the email: deeprunicelandics(at)gmail(dot) com

I think starting with the flash fiction first will be best! Shorter, good way to break in a process.  Not an epic 100k hulk of a manuscript…. I wouldn’t know…[Read more]

Care to join the experiment or need something beta read?

@morreafirebird @caseybold @elisha-starquill

Yes, I think that’s the next step!  I actually had no idea you could chat with the whole gmail/google thing.  Duh!  If it’s easiest, you could email me.  I’m deeprunicelandics@gmail.com   and have no personal info attached to it (the beauties of being an introvert).  That way you don’t have to post you…[Read more]

@katthewriter

Well, you also said anyone else and also I laughed out loud when I read “Jesus Cheese”.

We were talking about how much we appreciate the band Needtobreath.  They run the full gamut of music from deeply stirring songs about God to simply great songs. To which I’m listening now.

Here’s how my friend condensed it:  They write great m…[Read more]

@morreafirebird @caseybold @elisha-starquill

Oh! That’d be great!  I’d be all for that.

@joshuapior

Yes, I can’t imagine taking up digital art without having any traditional training or background.  It actually is still unnerving how accurately it replicates traditional materials.

What’s funny is that the painting isn’t difficult for me.  What gets me is taking a rough sketch into decent linework.  It’s getting easier but I get so…[Read more]

@joshuapior

Thank you for answering my question.  I’m a traditional artist but recently went digital.  It feels like playing whack-a-mole; every time I think I’ve got it figured out and know what I’m talking about or doing, something springs up.

@elisha-starquill

Sorry. Two parter post.  And I do apologize but the crockpot bubbled over.  You could probably just ignore the first post even!

So, I’m looking for a small group to engage in writing process so I can do my best work and help others do the same.  Within a structured but not militant setup that pr…[Read more]
