@Jess ah, Girl of the Limberlost! Have you read Freckles? Or Laddie? Or The Harvester? Or Her Father’s Daughter? Gene Stratton Porter is so good in so many ways.

@daeus, @jess, @clairec I got 1,288 words written.
Claire, keep at it! 😉 🙂 How’d the rest of you people go???

Haha, sorry about that. 🙂 It’s still me, the same old Bluejay. 😀 *Promise*

Ellow @daeus I’m joining you now.
@jess I’m writing if you want to join.
@clairec this includes you too, if you want/can.
And @anyone else who wishes to join. 🙂

@gretald Yes! I have read that. And so many other books by her too. I cried at Two Princesses of Bamarre. Did you?

@jess I will be (hopefully) writing at 10am (my time) which is 8pm (your time) I think. @daeus generally joins me, and @kate-flournoy too.
Will that work out for you???

@Greta Thanks. I’m currently naming the book Fidelyon…an idea I got a few days ago. 😉

Hello and welcome @Dragon-snapper! Glad to have you on here. 🙂
*buckles seatbelt*
Greta, the Peaceful One, salutes you, Captain Dragon Snapper. 😛

@Bluejay Yesssss, I love Ella Enchanted!! Have you read Two Princesses of Bamarre, also by Gale Carson Levine? It’s just as good as Ella Enchanted. 🙂

Late to the party as usual (that’s what happens when you’re gone for 19 days).
@Jess Nice to meet you! Welcome to the coolest place for writers ever. 😉
I ask this question of everyone who joins KP (unless, of course, it’s already been asked) and it’s a very, very important question, so, in keeping with tradition, what are some of your favorite books?

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise, Nice to “see” you again! 😉 What are some of your favorite books?

@Hope I’m late to the party but better late than never, right? I like the tile “Sign of the Shield,” but I like “Sign of the Nameless Shield” better. I also really like “Crowned Powerless…” 😉

@Hope oooh, I love that. It really reminds me you can’t play God and pretend to see the whole picture. You do your duty and trust God for the rest.

@kate-flournoy I agree completely. There’s a line I love from a book…I can’t remember if they were talking about assassination or war in general, but one character asked another (who was a Christian) if he had trouble killing people who weren’t saved. The character basically replied to the tenor of ‘if God is going to save them, then He’ll…[Read more]

@Hope I do believe assassinations in wartime are no different than pitched battle. The object is to kill either way, and I see no reason why an ambush in the middle of the night should be permitted, yet a single man not be permitted to sneak into enemy headquarters and kill a general.
In the case of terrorists, terrorists are by definition…[Read more]

Another related topic, since we’re back on this thread. Assassinations. Can they ever be right? Assassinations in peacetime on civilians. No. Assassination of leaders. I’d say no…God commands us to obey leaders, even if they are bad. But what about war (I’ve lots of wars in my books…). Again, in war I’d say assassination against civilians is…[Read more]

after all, war is only necessary because of evil, and the object of war is to annihilate that evil. Unless you would class a friend or loved one as evil, war’s ‘permissibles’ would not apply to them, I’m thinking.

Yes, good point. And that is what I figured, I just like bringing up any sort of scenarios I can.

Now you’ve got me wanting t…
