@lady-frosttongue That is a scary thing to go through. I will be praying.

@michelle Sure!

@katthewriter

Maybe you could say something reminding her that life with God is not all rainbows and puppies, and writing like it is is reflecting a false view of reality, and in fact a false view of God. If her writing tells people that the love of God instantly solves all worldly problems then she is lying about who God is. And that is a serious thing.

@emgc I specifically took US History 1 and 2, Western Civ 1 and 2, US Government, and College Algebra. Study guides for the AP of those subjects were also a good resource.

@emgc I think that pretty much all the tests are multiple-choice, so that’s nice. 50 is a passing score, and I think you need to get about 80% right? The website below has more information for individual cleps.

A really good website for CLEPS is http://www.free-clep-prep.com/ They have information on how difficult the test will be, the material,…[Read more]

@emgc I will sing the praises of the CLEPs. They are what allowed me to double major, since credits that I normally would be putting towards gen ed classes can be niche classes for my second major. I LOVE the CLEPs and would encourage anyone to take as many as they can. Have you taken any before?

I’m not really one to make resolutions because I…[Read more]

@michelle I write fantasy. Mostly fairytale retellings and stories with cool magic systems. I actually have been publishing short stories online at https://medium.com/@amy_49007 I also am technically am working on a novel… technically… I haven’t look at it in a while…

What about you?

@michelle Okay then… *backs away slowly*

You will be happy to know that Olaf dies in this movie then! And then he is brought back. I think he is annoying, yeah, but seriously, the scene of him recounting Frozen 1 is super funny.

By the way, @michelle, we generally only tag the whole guild when we are making a new post or need everyone to see a post for some reason. Not just for making conversation. 🙂

@seekjustice @michelle The gecko was cute. It wasn’t in it much. Prepare to be buried in an avalanche of a rant.

HEAVY SPOILERS!!!

*clears throat* I have created a numbered list:

THE BAD THINGS

1. It was thematically scattered. I honestly am not sure what the theme was. It has something to do with Change and the fact that It Happens but I am…[Read more]

Hi @michelle! Welcome to Erekdale!

@thewirelessblade There are four ways I can think of off the top of my head to do this.

1. Just getting to know the character. Every believable human has flaws. As you get to know them you get a feeling of what they are like. You explore the different directions of their personality, how they talk, what attitude they have towards the events of…[Read more]

@karthmin Cool! I hope the guild gets more active but November probably isn’t the best time to try and do stuff with a writer. ;P

@morreafirebird I will be praying!

Coincidently, my sister was diagnosed with an iron deficiency last month. She went to Urgent Care because of really bad stomach pains and they discovered she had about half the iron she was supposed to. (The stomach pain was a one-time thing that didn’t happen before and hasn’t happened after.) They never found…[Read more]

@kayla-skywriter I don’t think I understand the question. The brain is another body part. If you establish clearly how it is different than in our world then the readers will accept it. You could say, “Yeah, disembodied heads can still talk and be alive in this world even though there is no blood pumping through them and not lungs for breathing…[Read more]

@kayla-skywriter I think if you acknowledge that it isn’t the way it works in our world it will be fine. Like it the magic related to the four humors or whatever they were, and a character explained, “Yes, I am interacting with bile right now and it will have this effect.” and then it has that effect the reader would think, “Huh. That’s not the…[Read more]

@urwen-starial

If you want to figure out a rough time period that corresponds to the real world, think of what technologies you want in your story and don’t want in your story. For instance, if you know that you want guns to be invented, but no printing presses, a quick google reveals that to be the 1350s to 1450s. Then google “fashion of the…[Read more]
