@rochellaine yes, I’m back! I’m working on a few things for my blog. 🙂
The Kingdom has been torn asunder...
http://www.encircledbygrace.com/@kaya-young Cool.
Oh, by the way, did you ever finish reading She by Haggard?
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
I’ll be here on and off for a bit 🙂

@rochellaine *Blushes with shame* No… I quit. It was just a bit too weird for my taste. However, that did get me started on reading random Gutenberg books, which is fun. 😃
The Kingdom has been torn asunder...
http://www.encircledbygrace.com/@kaya-young It’s way to weird for my tastes, so I definitely don’t blame you. 😛 (Never read it, but the synopsis was enough to horrify me.) I do like Haggard’s his-fics though. They’re not weird.
Really? Which ones? I’ve probably read a couple of hundred books on Gutenberg. 😉 But…there are thousands.
@seekjustice Hey! How’s it going?"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
Just curious, why did you suggest it to Kaya if it was too horrifying for you?? I’ve only read King Solomon’s Mines and it terrified me, and I’ve never been able to look at Haggard again.
Hey. Its going pretty well. Yesterday I had an idea to start writing the third book of my trilogy without an outline, but I got 1,000 words in, panicked, caved and started work on an outline. That’s what I’m up to now 😛

@rochellaine Recently I’ve read An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde (which is very funny), 1,000 Things Worth Knowing by Nathaniel C. Fowler Jr. (Not really much worth knowing, but some interesting stuff), and My Chinese Marriage by Mae M Franking (A great biography type book).

http://www.encircledbygrace.com/@seekjustice Wow! You go girl!
The Kingdom has been torn asunder...
http://www.encircledbygrace.com/@seekjustice Well, The Magician’s Nephew terrified me, so, that’s not much to go on. 😉
I absolutely loved the three Haggard his-fics that I read, Pearl Maiden, Lysbeth, and another I can’t remember the name of. I didn’t like the ending of the third one because it was sad, but I liked the story, and it didn’t freak me out. Very suspenseful, but…yeah, the reason I recommended She to @kaya-young was because she was looking for a fantasy to read, and it was the only fantasy novel I could think of that I knew was written by a good author and you could read for free online.
I haven’t read King Solomon’s Mines yet, though we do have it. I’ll see if I can get to it soon and I’ll let you know what I think. 🙂
Anyway, do my reasons make sense?
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
@rochellaine @seekjustice I must bid you both goodnight! Happy writing!
The Kingdom has been torn asunder...
http://www.encircledbygrace.com/@kaya-young Interesting. I haven’t read any of those. Do you like lighter, less-known works at all?
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
@rochellaine Yes, I do! 🙂
The Kingdom has been torn asunder...
http://www.encircledbygrace.com/Ah, I see (and The Magician’s Nephew scared me too).
I don’t even remember much about it, just that it terrified me when I read it years ago 🙂

@kaya-young Do you hate romance? My absolute favorite series of all time is on Gutenberg, minus a couple of books. It’s the Patty Fairfield series by Carolyn Wells. It’s not all romance, but romance does play a big part.
Or Westerns? A couple of my other favorite authors from Gutenberg are William MacLeod Raine and B.M.Bower. (There are like fifty more, but I’m going easy on you. I won’t go on for pages about all my favorite books an authors. 😉 )
@seekjustice Someone else who was scared by The Magician’s Nephew?? Cool! Er…well, anyway, it’s unusual to hear anyone say anything about Narnia except to praise the series to the skies. 😛So you tried to write without an outline? Nice. You panicked? Aw, too bad. 😛 I panic when I have to write outlines, which is what I’m doing right now. Any advice?
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
Not scared me in a bad way, but thrilled and creeped me out and fascinated me. Haggard just scares me 😛
I only wrote 1k but it was terribly confused and strange. So I went back to my outline. Have you tried the Snowflake method? You might prefer that way of outlining.
