*screams extremely loudly and collapses to the floor in a fiery heap*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH rose-colored-fancy YOU’VE KILLED ME INSIDEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My one and only goal XD

BUT OHMYGOODNESS HOW DO YOU ALWAYS SURPASS EXPECTATIONS BY THAT MUCH????? THAT’S THE GREATEST!!!!!

Oh, t…[Read more]

@crazywriter

Wow. I’m like… shocked. I mean, first of all, you writing has improved astronomically from the Wingfeather forum. It’s like blossomed and… wow.

Your descriptions were so beautiful. It was like reading a modern edition of Tolkien. For once, I don’t feel like I have to tell you to cut back. While the descriptions were dense, it…[Read more]

I’m very late, but after this last post I knew I had to rejoin the chaos lol

Basil:

Talking castle, huh. 

“I’ve been thinking about the next challenge, and it occurred to me that several of you are particularly well suited to it. Our resident assassins.”

Oh great.  So there’s assassins.

“Lorcan–”

Basil raised his eyebrows.  Mmm that one’s no…[Read more]

Erm… nope. Looks like the internet boogies got your snippet so I only read it on email and then deleted it. XD I do remember that you seemed to use “quickly” quite a bit… if you go to where you wrote it down and use the command Ctrl+F, it’ll pull up a bar and you can search for words or letters in your document. Depending on the size, just…[Read more]

Okay, that’s helpful! Any particular one? I’m not too good with adverbs, so any help with them is sorely needed

*nods fervently with everything you’re saying*

(Great first chapter, Peter!! I love your style. One tip I’d have would be to limit your use of adverbs – find ones that you can replace them and their verb with a stronger verb. 😉 Can’t wait to learn more!!)

You’re probably right, I don’t know. 🙂

Goody, another person who says it’s right. See, Tolkien is a German name, I believe, and the when an i/e or e/i is together, you say the second one. I’m glad the movie got it right. :)))

@joelle-stone @denali-Christianson

Here’s the first chapter of my WIP. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

This is the story of a Great King, and a not so great king. One who is perfect, and one who is not. One king dressed in brilliant robes and august glory, the other in filthy rags. One at the mercy of the other.

Ah, but I get ahead of myself. How can I…[Read more]

@emily-Waldorf

for sure! Personalities vary, thus do writing styles. Still, careful, deliberate writing can be involved in any style, at least I think.

To answer your other question, before I watched the movie Tolkien, I said it, “Tol-ken” and I still do a lot, but now I know it’s “Tol-Keen”

@crazywriter, I think personalities have to be taken into account. I think Tolkien had a strain of perfectionism, and was a “panster” style of writer, (as well as having a family), while Lewis must have had a very different, diligent, and energetic style. Plus, one’s mind and fingers may work faster than another’s.

On a side note, how do y’all…[Read more]

Oh it gets to me to. It’s certainly concerning.

But, for know, we are to share what we know to be true as much as we can. So let us write! And write! And write more! Perhaps the ink we spill shall help spread the boundaries of which the blood of Christ shall ultimately cover. Who knows? He does great things with us broken sticks!

@crazywriter

Oh dude. You’ve got soooo much support. XD

Yes!!! It’s terrifying! And this whole social justice warrior thing. Ugghhhhh…

@crazywriter

Yes! I completely agree with you!!!!

Oh, I can feel another rant coming…

I don’t have time right now.

I’ll be back… 😀

@joelle-stone @denali-Christianson

Ah. It’s good to know I’m not alone.

It’s funny how many cultural Christians will insist on their salvation, but will believe and broadcast such obvious strayings from the Bible is scary. Because if not for the grace of God, we’d be right in the front of that crowd

@joelle-stone

HAHAHAHAHAHAH I WANT TO SEE SOMEONE DO THAT SOOOOO BAD!!!!! My favorite is whenever someone tells me to wear a mask saying “my body, my choice!” and walking away without any other comment. XD It drives them crazy!

YES BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!!!!!!!! Do you know what happens when you put your strength in yourself? You fail. Because you…[Read more]

AND YESSSS BOTH THE FOLLOW YOUR HEART AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF MESSAGES DRIVE ME ABSOLUTELY BONKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*coughs* My sister wants to walk up to a liquor store and say, “I identify as 21” and see how they react… 😛

But yep, business around the household.

@crazywriter

Oh same. I restrained myself. I’d probably crash SE with my fury if you got me going. XD

YESSSSSSSS IT DRIVES ME UP A WALLL!!!!! (A wall the size of Helm’s Deep, just for reference. XD)

“I’ve been thinking about the next challenge, and it occurred to me that several of you are particularly well suited to it. Our resident assassins.”

Klein raised his eyebrows. This was a new trick this place was trying. But Klein was curious. Given the situation, capable fighters were needed. Assassins were quick and accurate. For now what they…[Read more]

@denali-Christianson

Oh. Don’t get me started on our culture. You don’t wanna open that can of worms.

Just for kicks, is anyone else incensed(or almost) by the phrase, “follow your heart” ?
