*Skids into ten tables and rolls fifty yards, landing on feet and deciding to act like that was intentional* Ack! Sorry I’m late, life kinda knocked me over so I had to clobber it

Now that’s some vivid imagery, I like it. 🙂

Tata.

@noah-cochran

Oh thanks! Vivacious is a new one…I know I’m glad you have a forthright and upfront personality, (I really hate trying to figure out social cues, also if one more person tells me I’m flirty I’m gonna punch ‘em! XD) And being careful, yes, it’s much easier to do the splits than be careful XD.

Don’t worry about it Cathy. I personally enjoyed your vivacious spirit, but one always has to be careful. 🙂

I have six siblings  (4 boys 2 girls) and I share a room with all four of my brothers. Me and my oldest brother often debate morality and theology late into the night for fun. Somehow we find infinite things to…[Read more]

*sheepish grin* You’re right I think I got a “little” (a lot) *ahem* carried away with arguing, I have a lot of siblings and close relatives who all enjoy bantering…intensely 😅. Thank you for correcting me, I need to very much rein in my tongue more. I’m sorry I grilled you @lrc and @shannon, it was an immature and unnecessary thing to do and yo…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

Cathy my friend, you could cook a cow with that tongue of yours. 😅 🤭 Perhaps you could be a tad less…forceful next time. 😉

Don’t take any offence from this young lady’s rather…violent tongue @lrc and @shannon. I must admit though, the way you began your rant, Cathy, was quite amusing. 🙂

Okay, so I don’t know if you…[Read more]

Hello pagan heathen! First of all, I like you; I like arguing, this is good arguing. Second of all
WHAT THE HECK WHAT BLASPHEMY IS THIS!?! BURN YOU AT THE STAKE HERETIC!!!!
*Ahem* allow me to sweetly, happily mercilessly rip out the soul and ribcage and gizzard of this argument. First of all by breaking down each and every one of…[Read more]

Thanks for starting this discussion @LRC and @Shannon! My sentiments align more with @noah-cochran on this one, though. While I do agree that it’s too much to say that your writing will “suffer” if you aren’t constantly reading books, I rarely hear even bestselling/award-winning authors suggest that they’ve “made it” and don’t need additional…[Read more]

@lrc @shannon

You guys weren’t kidding about a controversial take. XD I approve. We need more of that iron sharpening iron.

Now… I don’t agree with it, but I also don’t agree with the perspective you’re arguing against.

@noah-cochran

OoOh, cool topic! I am here to both agree and disagree with everyone!

One piece of writing advice you hear a lot in the writing world is that in order to be a good writer, you must read as much as possible. If you aren’t reading one book after the other in a reasonable fashion, then your writing will majorly s…

@lrc

You two really just did that didn’t you. xD I wonder what put this topic on your mind…

Well, I’m always game for a good argument, let’s do this. 🙂

First off, just to clear a notion that you might think I hold, I do not ever recommend reading bad writing or badly written books as part of one’s research, I find it nearly…[Read more]

@shannon Lol conflict is hard sometimes… 😛 And thanks! 😀 I’m going to try to avoid historical references, as the story takes place on another world. 🙂

@shannon Always good to see a familiar face. 😀
