@Daeus oooopssss… *hides face* I’m sorry. I thought you wanted us to actually take the survey. Would it even let you flip pages if you didn’t?

@jess @jane-maree @daeus @kate-flournoy @graciegirl @r-j-wordsmith @ethryndal @northerner @overcomer @winter-rose And I’m back to planning! If I finish that, then I’ll likely switch to actual writing.

@Dragon-Snapper easy. Read the book, tell ’em what’s wrong with it. XD
Okay, do try and be civil. But basically, they’re asking you to read it because they want your honest opinion on it. So give your honest opinion.

For reason that I’ve never done this before, nor have ever heard of it besides on here, beta-reading is new to me. What does one do in beta-reading? Is there any method to it? Anything I should keep in mind?

@Daeus first of all this is an awesome idea. Second of all I answered the questions. Third of all I have not a clue in the world how you possibly missed anything at all possible related to, about, or pertaining to books in general. I’ll let you know if I think of anything though. 😉

@Cloudy welcome! *resolves to make sure your reluctance in joining KP doesn’t stick around for long*
I play the piano too. Not very well, but… hey. I do play it. 😉
What’s your favorite genre? Fantasy, I presume? 😀 -

@cloudy Hi! Hiya! Hello! And Aloha! Great to have you here!
I like drawing too! What do you like to draw and also, what medium do you use? Oh, and if you like to draw people, you should check out our Character Art Exchange thread. Lots of fun there.
And piano! I love the piano! How long have you been playing? I’ve only be playing for maybe six…[Read more] -

@Kina-Lamb that’s awesome. Certainly not a run-of-the-mill children’s book, which is even more awesome. I hope everything goes well. 😀

Actually Till We Have Faces probably wouldn’t be considered Christian fiction, as it’s not specifically having to do with real Christianity. The theme is, but not by name.

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Hello All! in the forum Start HERE 9 years, 5 months ago
@That_Writer_Girl_99 Hmmm…I don’t know how much of what I’ve read is technically considered ‘Christian fiction’. The Screwtape Letters and Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis—those might be considered Christian fiction. They are Christian and they are fiction at any rate. Several books by Douglas Bond, and the Viking Quest Series by Lois Walfrid…[Read more]

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic The Antihero in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 5 months ago
@Mark-Kamibaya I agree, excellent article. I couldn’t really tell you whether I found aspects right or wrong, because I don’t know a whole lot about the antihero. Didn’t, at least. 😉 But it was a very interesting read, and well written. I haven’t seen any of the characters you mentioned for reference except Luke Skywalker—and that was for…[Read more]

@Emma-Flournoy Aaaaah! I’m speechless. You have this profound effect on me: Everything you say makes me grin. How can one person be so NICE?
*gives you chocolate with raspberry pieces in it*
Seriously though, you’ve pretty much nailed it. (Besides things like Admirable. I don’t think I’m allowed to have an opinion on those. 🙂 ) All the…[Read more]
Oh yum, chocolate. *eats it* OH yum, more chocolate! *goes on caffeine high*
You have the EXACT same effect on me! And I keep thinking, how can one person be so NICE?!
And, I have an opinion on the Admirable and so forth, and I say they’re true. So, you need not feel bashful. XD
Like you were feeling bashful.
I finished reading your email a…[Read more]
WELL I LOVE YOU TOO!
*poof* Yes, I remember that. And I know the feeling. The feeling of…bursting. *knowing nod* Quite. But yes, feel free to respond at your leisure. I was almost thinking of sending it in installments because it was so long, but then I thought, eh, well. We understand one another. So it’s all good. *poof again*
Oh boy,…[Read more]
Yup, we understand each other. This is good.
I don’t care that the emails are long (far from it, give me GIVE ME!)—just that that makes it so I have to take longer to reply, and thus longer till I can hear from you again. 😀
Young and evil Gandalf, I KNOW! *cackles with you* That’s a great movie. Different from the books in ways, but still…[Read more]
DRAGON SNAPPER DARED ME. That’s all I’ll say. 😛
Eh, yeah, that’s pretty true. THERE’S JUST SO MUCH TO SAY. Arg. How do I handle it? You can always answer in installments, if you like.
Well good for Caroline. *approving nod* It’s been a while since I saw it last (Anna absolutely hates it; don’t ask me why), but I do remember liking it. The book…[Read more]
Yeah, the Gollum was my fault. 😀
@Ethryndal I read through that topic after I’d answered you here. Now I understand. 😀
Nah, it’s more orderly and less confusing to have it all in one place. I’ll just stick with long.
It is different…but not hateable, I thought. Sheesh Anna. But you should see it again sometime. When there is such a time. And whenever you finish reading TSP,…[Read more]
*meekly adds more books to reading list* Yeah, mom really likes books and movie too, so they’re definitely at the top. See Anna? *poke* Sheesh.
