@ericawordsmith Oh my goodness, yes!! I love that idea! It’s almost like we’re writing an episode of Once Upon a Time. Also, I’ve heard the “They’re Taking the Hobbits to Isengard” song – did you know they have a ten-hour version? LOL!

I’m cool with starting a new one! I can join in this time!

Hi! I know I’m really late in the game here, but I absolutely LOVED the Giver (as a book and series). My favorite book in the series was Messenger, with the Giver as a close second, so I highly recommend reading the whole series.

Also, I’m an INTP, which would make more sense if I were a melancholy-phlegmatic. When it comes to correlating the temperaments with Myers-Briggs, here’s what I’m thinking:

Phlegmatic – IxFP

Choleric – ExTJ

Melancholy – IxTJ (note: in general, SJs tend to have melancholy as either their first or second type; S involves details, while J involves…[Read more]

I LOVE all things personality (mbti, temperaments, etc.) I’m a melancholy-choleric, with phlegmatic close by. I’m not a detail person, but I seriously overthink things; my mom calls me a philosopher. I’m not sure which test is better for writing characters, but in real life, the temperaments seem to be more accurate.

@evelyn Aww thanks! I’ll play around with that line.

@kari-karast That’s fine with me. How do you subscribe? (as you can tell, I’m not the techiest person in the world).

The chestnut-tinted irises encircling my pupils look like Saturn’s rocky rings, because of the flecks sprinkled in a circle throughout them. It feels weird to describe my eyes that way, lol! Here’s a useful tool I’ve used for eye/hair/skin color…[Read more]

Can I jump in? I don’t mean to intrude, but who knows? Perhaps I do…the human mind is preposterously fickle. I apologize for my philosopher-like rant. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dr. Kaprissa Alex Knight, a psychology professor in one of Michaela’s partially-written stories (oh, how I hate it when she leaves me in suspense like…[Read more]

Okay, in hindsight one of the paragraphs has a misplaced modifier that kind of misconstrues the meaning. Instead of, “All the working and waiting, etc. was worth all the days that she stayed,” it should be “Seeing His glory was all the waiting and praying, etc…” or something like that. I’m finding it difficult to portray the right meaning in…[Read more]

This one doesn’t exactly have a syllable/word-per-line pattern, but here’s one I’ve been working on called “At Earth’s End”

When the sun kisses the ground goodnight

When the earth turns its final time

When the moon shines bright

and steals the fame from the stars

When the black veil of night

masks the earth from the worlds beyond

WOW. I absolutely love it! Beautiful wording. Great characters. And just pure sweetness between the two characters <3 My only critique would be to further develop the characters – particularly the second one. The second character seems to be only defined by what he isn’t – he isn’t a daydreamer or a writer. It would be nice if there were a l…[Read more]

#StillOut. I’m taking a break off of writing in general; I’m not quite caught up in the reading, but I’ve been enjoying your story a lot! Great job, guys!

This is great! Thanks for sharing it!
