@taylorclogston I thoroughly enjoyed reading this! First: this could be described as flash fiction, if you wanted to. I would say that it qualifies very loosely as poetry– yes, the feel and lyric of it is very poetic, but the form doesn’t fit into any poetic category (rhyme, meter, blank verse, line breaks, annoying loss of punctuation).

@taylorclogston Lol wow… what a quote. xD

@taylorclogston Oooookay, I was wondering who it would be for this post. 😛

I’m going to give the general disclaimer now that Daeus and I clash quite a bit on different topics, and this is one of them. xD Mostly, it’s because writing is a craft with very few “set” rules, formulas, and definitions. Lots of different things work for different…[Read more]

@taylorclogston Ooh, I understand the feeling of not wanting to write. It’s tough to get through that. 🙁 Something similar happened to me recently, when I hit a block and couldn’t make myself write on my current project. I had to switch projects completely in order to restart my creative “colors.”

@evelyn That quote of your brother’s is sad yet…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose *gives you coffee* *hopes you like coffee because there’s controversy on that subject* I totally relate; I guess we’ll have to push onward together 😛

Woo-wie! This is a toughie! I’ve never written this sort of thing before. We should make it very emotional. Like, life or death maybe? My immediate thoughts are that we need to give…[Read more]

@taylorclogston Hey don’t apologize! I’m sure you’ve been busy.

Wow, The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness, and Murder sounds super interesting. I’ll have to check that out.

What I read:

Well, I’m still working on <i>Watership Down</i>. I’ve been reading through a collection of poetry for fun, and then for school Old Man and the…[Read more]

Well, there was definitely some foreshadowing of the twist of Jacob bringing back the sun instead of Artorius in the final labyrinth scene where Artorius is confronted by the Undying One about how his unwillingness to put aside his right predicts that he won’t be able to bring back the sun. I’m pretty sure I noticed foreshadowing…[Read more]

@taylorclogston Ah! Okay. Well, that in itself is interesting. 😉

@taylorclogston

So far work’s been keeping me busy so I’ve only read up to page 14. Thoughts:

– What’s Circe doing in the prologue reminiscing kindly on Artorius’ plight? I thought she hated his guts at this point.

– Even though the sun isn’t blinding to look at, it seems like it would be a nice touch for Artorius to be squinting as an…[Read more]

@taylorclogston Thanks for the encouragement! And yeah, the game itself was good- it could’ve been much better, though, but it was good enough as is. I really hope they add some DLC to flesh things out a bit. If there’s one take-away from the game though, it’s making sure motives stay consistent.

@evelyn (I’ll answer you in this thread to…[Read more]

@taylorclogston I did enjoy it, to an extent. It wasn’t a page-turner and was pretty slow, but I found it interesting how he approached his personal contribution to the reconstruction of the South, and how some very basic things that we often over look, can make all the difference. It’s a good reminder to not take for granted some basic…[Read more]

@taylorclogston

I almost mentioned both Dracula (which I just finished and enjoyed) and The Inheritance Cycle.

@taylorclogston Yeah, should be able to. Is the old link the right one?
