@Daeus-Lamb THIS. Has forever been one of my favorite articles. You have impeccable good taste.

@thewirelessblade Three questions:

1.) Why do you want to start a blog?

2.) What do you want it to be about?

3.) What do you hope to achieve through it?

@thewirelessblade Look at the people around you. What makes them different? What makes them unique? How do they respond to certain situations compared to others? I believe that watching and understanding a wide variety of people is a crucial building block in creating a wide variety of characters.

Also, reading about different personality types…[Read more]

@salome01w4g Yeeeees, this is a horrible problem I suffer from to. And there’s really no easy way to fix it, simply because it’s mental. You have to overcome your mind. Which is… tough.

Just remember, this 1st draft isn’t set in stone. Anything you write can be rewritten. Any problems you have can be fixed. You can edit a rough draft—but not…[Read more]

@salome01w4g Heeeey, I recognize you! Glad you made it over here!

When you say the Baker Family series, you wouldn’t by any chance happen to be referring to the books written by C.R. Hedgcock? They’re rather obscure—I thought I was the only one who’d ever heard of them. 😂

@Julianne That is so incredibly tragic and heartbreaking. I will definitely be praying for those poor people.

I somehow managed to miss 99% of this process, but I would just like to pop in here and officially declare that you guys are amazing. This is great. *multiple thumbs-up*

@Catwing (Just so you know, I almost tagged myself instead of you. Which would have been… unproductive… XD)

HEY! Glad you finally made it over here! I haven’t been terribly active lately, so I wasn’t sure if you were here and I’d just missed you, or you hadn’t come yet. Now I know. So once again, WELCOME HERE!

Have fun figuring out all the…[Read more]

@Daeus-lamb Well this is cool.

The only thing I can really think of to help get the word out is social media, but it seems like you’ve already covered that one…

@Kate *pets your hair* There there.

@Kate *dusts off problems* What, a good dose of tortured, angst-ridden, emotionally scarred INFPism won’t mend my problems??? I’m shocked.

Oh sheesh. *surveys pages and pages of stern, sensible, unimaginative control-freaks*

So basically, I just need to write an INFP and all my cliches will be solved.

@Chalice Thanks! And WOW!!! That is… that is just… *fumbles for words*

*can’t find any that do it justice*

That is an amazing drawing. 👍

As far as allegory vs. symbolism, @Daeus-Lamb, I think my own opinion has already been pretty well covered in much better detail by the others. I’m interested in knowing what your definition of allegory is—what you described sounds pretty allegorical to me, though I might just have an incredibly broad standard for that particular story…[Read more]

@Karthmin @Kate @Daeus-Lamb This is the most interestingly freaky coincidence I have ever accidentally read.

@Snapper YAAAAHOOOO!!! That is SO AWESOME!!

Do you feel incredibly relieved now, or somewhat homesick (or booksick, I suppose)?
