Steward of the Pen

@steward-of-the-pen yes, staying with a dream would be best. Visions, on the other hand, would never make it to the Guild War entries on time. 😉

( @cassie-hartfinh ) no offense, though, that’s probably something I’d tinker with in my own work. Several of my characters (including a self-inserted prodigy of the prophet Nathan) have had either…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen

I can’t believe how articulate you are while also addressing almost everyone who just posted! 🙂 Really admire that. And yes, totally agree with what you and @e-jo2 said about visions vs. dreams.

We’re so lucky that Daeus did not give us a vision sequence prompt 😀 (Nods our our Master Sith, @j-a-penrose )

If @ariella-newhear…[Read more]

@esjohnson @ariella-newheart

If @steward-of-the-pen would like to write it with you two, I think that’ll be enough. 🙂 But if not, I’d be happy to join

*rushes in from faraway land of Tennessee*

The downside to traveling is I enter the guild war late in the game.

Anyways, guys, I am seeing some STELLAR ideas here!! And now, for MY ideas.

The past three nights, I have dreamed of three things: the first night, somebody said to me “…if you are the New Mercy…”. The second, I was crushing…[Read more]

Hi @steward-of-the-pen,

Taylor and I were chatting about a response I wrote to you responding to your question:

My answer to you was that I have chosen not to let fear of what others might think or my own fear of failure get in the way because it will distract me from using the gift God gave me, breed self-doubt and cause me to give up.  I di…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen I like that idea, Darth Pen!

With the other parts that reflect his fears, we could use symbolism and foils to show what would happen for either choice. It could end with him waking up and making a decision about the choice.

So it’d be kind of a cross between a vision and a replay of the past, and it would have plenty of o…

@steward-of-the-pen

Oh! And thanks for explaining all that to me! 🙂 Appreciate it a lot, since – being new – it’s a bit hard to determine what to say/do that’s considered proper. 😉

@j-a-penrose

Do you usually let us do a roll call vote on the ideas? Or is it less formal?

If less formal, I’m with @steward-of-the-pen idea, although the prompt by @esjohnson was fascinating – perhaps we can connect the two in some way?

And I can volunteer to write it, although it will probably be better if the originator of the main idea…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen

I’m with you!! I love that idea. BTW, we’re all Siths here! Being a good guy is way to boring/cliched 😀

@j-a-penrose

Master Sith, I’m in your debt for explaining this process to me. 🙂

@ariella-newheart and @j-a-penrose thank you! Yes, the darkness would work well for the dream…

@steward-of-the-pen Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww, thanks! It is from my own writing, but I thought it would be a good prompt. 😉

@azeline-d SOMEONE SAY BIBLICAL FICTION?!!!!

REPORTING FOR DUTY

I’m leaning either towards the light/darkness prompt, @j-a-penrose,…[Read more]

@obrian-of-the-surface-world I’m not @steward-of-the-pen so please forgive me for interjecting my own thoughts.

But if you somehow knew the author was writing this character deliberately that way, so that it would cause a certain alienation between characters, how long would your patience hold with this character if you knew that he would later co…

Hi @steward-of-the-pen,

I do agree with much of what you’ve said but there are a few things I wonder about.

Do you think, in real life, there are well-meaning Christians that tend to, in their excitement and zeal, find themselves being rebuffed by the world when they try to evangelize them using a lot of Scriptures?  The reason I ask is t…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen Oh goodness, those are weird dreams! And I agree with what you said about the deep and meaningful dream. If we wrote it correctly, we could definitely win.

@coggleton Good questions. I actually never have lucid dreams. 😛 In mine I’m just drifting through scenes and events that make perfect sense at the time but when I’m awake…[Read more]

@obrian-of-the-surface-world ah, got it. 🙂

@ariella-newheart Thanks! I’m glad to be here! #homeschoolsquad

I like Sherlock Holmes, Theodore Boone; Kid Lawyer series, and pretty much anything by Christopher Hart (who has a bunch of “how to draw” books). I write in fantasy, comedy, sometimes sci-fi, and I’ve attempted mystery, but it came off as…[Read more]

@e-jo3 Sweet! Can you give a basic rundown of the concepts in Inception?

@julia Yes! That is so cool. I love all of K.M.Weiland’s things. So much. When I’m in doubt, that tends to be where I go. *nods* I approve.

@steward-of-the-pen Some great starting ideas! (And Daeus is judging this one.)

@calebonline First of all, welcome to Parimi Alca! I…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen Wow, nice. I agree on all of that. *two thumbs up* I hardly ever remember my dreams. One I do remember is a nightmare where I was wandering through a dark mansion which had cages of scary creatures on either side of the path. I kept climbing higher and higher through the mansion, and once I made it to the top floor. (I had that…[Read more]

@write-owl Cool, I like The Lord of the Rings, too! (And of course The Hobbit and The Silmarillion. Particularly The Silmarillion, just because I love allegory and lore. It also inspired me to write a creation story for my first book series.) It’s hard to name my favorite book, but I can tell you my two favorite series! The Wingfeather Saga and…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen

Wonderful/insightful post!

I’m terrible at comedy 😛 and I prefer to view dreams as visions with deep meaning. And I think what our Master Sith 😉 @j-a-penrose said about symbolism is great – since visions/meaning is closely related to symbolism.

A very special welcome to @anne_the_noob14! *cheers* (sorry, I couldn’t find your tag anywhere!)

Here is our mysterious sixth guilding everyone! Make her feel…[Read more]
