@caserola Nice!

@tinuviel I’m sorry about that.  I’m glad your week went well though. 🙂 (Also, I just added you as a buddy on NaNo. Hope you don’t mind. 😉 )  My goals went okay, thanks for asking.  I still have a bit more math to catch up on, but it’s coming along.

Okay. Goals!

This week I plan to…

@bree-dawn Awesome!

@kelly-lundgren Great, I’m glad to hear it!

@devastate-lasting I’m sorry about that. Speaking as a (or at least I’m assuming) fellow highschooler (if you’re not then sorry :P), I know how overwhelming homework can get sometimes… >.< Hopefully you’ll have some more time freed up this week?

@sageinthemeadow Good, good. And…[Read more]

Today is the last day of the word war (ending at midnight). Don’t forget to submit your word counts for the week tomorrow! 😀

@tashah-claymore That’s exactly how I was thinking to uncover the secret of enslaved dragons – MC discovers a dragon by accident, and the whole thing begins to unravel. Eventually the truth comes out and society has to undergo gigantic structural changes to accomodate the grass-roots revolution that arise….. *looks off into the distance*

I…[Read more]

@seekjustice That sounds like an awesome idea! Do you want to organize that? I don’t want to take that away from you.

But if you’d rather not, I can get the ball rolling. 🙂

@erekdale We’re planning our Second Monthly Video Call this coming Monday night at 6:00 PM EST! The first one was a success (for an exclusively introverted crowd, I think we did pretty good, anyway). XD

And now we’re going to go for round two. This call will have a main discussion topic to start off with, and then we’ll see where the conversation…[Read more]

@eden-anderson You could do that (maybe even via my website contact page) or you could put your story in a Google doc and post the link. Either one you want. 🙂

@seekjustice Sweet. 😉

@vatlmy Okay, I will keep that in mind! 😀

@emberynus-the-dragonslayer 😀

@princess-foo

Yes, those ideas really help! For fantasy, I tend to default to battle scenes for conflict, but that gets fairly boring after a while (plus, I’m not too good at fight scenes either 😛 )

Your curse-breaker character also sounds very interesting xD

@seekjustice

Thank you for the recommendations! I’ll definitely look those…[Read more]

@seekjustice Thanks! And I’m glad!

@tashah-claymore Great!

@lady-frosttongue That’s great! (And I just added you. 🙂 )

Okay, looks like a lot of you are ahead of me this week. XD

My goals:

— Participate in word war!

— Catch up on math homework

— Practice music every day

— Do well on (both) big tests coming up this week (which… I…[Read more]

@seekjustice I think that’s a great idea! I’d totally be in! 😀

@seekjustice Great idea!

@seekjustice I love that idea! I’m on board!

@eden-anderson @seekjustice @chalice @millennium

Great news! My brother came home from the hospital tonight! He’s still on a soft food diet and has to have another test run this week, but he is doing better. Thank you all so much for your prayers! I really appreciate it! <3

Along the lines of this discussion, I’m wondering if anyone here has struggled with portraying true femininity in their stories. In most of my books, I find myself putting a sword or a bow in a woman’s hand in order to keep her engaged in the main conflict (particularly the climax). Otherwise, she’s on the sidelines. While I certainly don’t…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I love that you were able to give some insights into Tolkien’s and Lewis’ personal lives to show how it affected their view of women! I really had no idea about any of that. Could you recommend any particular biographies on them? I’m definitely interested in learning more 😀

Your point regarding Tolkien idolizing women is…[Read more]

@eden-anderson Yes! He is just overall feeling better and they took out the tube to his stomach they had put in to keep his stomach drained. (I don’t know if I had mentioned before, but they believe it was a bowel obstruction/his intestines closing up in one part). They put him on a liquid diet yesterday and starting today with soft foods. Just…[Read more]

@seekjustice YES!!! That’s how I found Into the West! I’ve been listening to them so much!
