Time to Explain: The Castle and Kingdom

I recently mentioned that I am working on my Castle. The Castle is my new website. I am still building it, but I want to tell you what I am doing with it and what exactly you can expect from it.

Get to It! What is The Castle?

The Castle is a place where we all can express ourselves artistically. You are able to comment and send your items in for review. If it is accepted, I will put it onto the website for others to view. There is plenty of ideas and plans for the website. All of these ideas are explained on the website itself, which you can view here.

The reason I am telling you about it now, before the website is complete, is because of two reasons:

Suggestions

This website is for all of us. I don't want to build this Castle and the only person really happy with it is me. We should all enjoy it and feel part of it. This is why I say that the Castle is our place of creativity. I want you to tell me what you would like and don't like.

Remember: Just because you suggest it, doesn't mean I will make use of the suggestion. The majority must like the idea. The King's word is the final word.

Never Stagnate

The second reason is that this Castle will probably always be a work in progress. The website will change all the time to become better. It will one day reach a good standard, but it will never be set in stone. The best way for this website to be all it can be, it must be built slowly over time.

What's Different

The Castle is different from my blog because it's about roll playing, creativity, atmosphere and fun. The blog took a serious nature, whereas the Castle is supposed to be playful. This blog will still exist, but once I start writing on the Castle's own blog (the Library), I will hardly come back here. I will, however, post a notice before heading off.

On that note, go check the Castle and let me know your thoughts. Together we can build it to be a great place for all to escape to!

Grammar Geek: Is It Believe In, Believe On or Believe That?

Since last week's post was on believe or belief , I decided to ask whether it's believe in , believe on or believe that . All of these are correct and do get used. The questions are when, where, why and how. Here it is in what I hope is the simplest way to explain it and the easiest way to remember it. Believe In and Believe That Correlation A certain professor, H. H. Price , came to the conclusion that there is a difference between believe in and believe that . To him, it came down to this, “Surely belief-in is an attitude to a person, whether human or divine, while belief-that is just an attitude to a proposition?” This makes perfect sense considering the words in and that . Personally, in sounds a lot more involved and personal, whereas that seems distant. Get that away from me. Come on in . That might just be me though. However, this view might make things easier. What if this thinking was indeed the correct manner? To believe in someone is ...

Grammar Geek: When to Use Who or Whom

When to use who or whom can be either complicated or simplistic. It is always best to know the rules and thus the complicated version before you go for the easy, cheat version. This way, you will know you are right, every time. When to Use Who or Whom: Know your Grammar The complicated version calls for our memories of English grammar classes; those classes we slept through. To know who and whom , you need to know their place in the English language. Welcome back to your English class. Study hard! Who and Whoever: The Subjective Pronouns "Subjective pronouns" sounds more dramatic than it needs to. In a less wordy manner, who and whoever are subjects in a sentence. When I was in school, I was taught that the subject is the one doing the action. The verb of the sentence is this "action". Here are some examples: Who knows the answer? Who will go to class? The purple is the subject, as it is the one doing the action. The action (verb) is in gold. Sadly...

Photography Category: Life in Strange Places

This week I want to bring you something different. I had a week off work and I have plenty of photos I want to put up for you on all my social media. This photography category is called "Life in Strange Places". As the name suggests, I found plants growing in abnormal places and I decided to take some photos of it. You can view them on my Instagram , DeviantArt and Pinterest . Here are four of the six photos: You can use these photos as you see fit as stock photos (you can download them on DeviantArt ).
