And if it’s any comfort, it makes me very happy when you cry over my work. Doesn’t that make you feel better?? Hm??? *hysterical laughter*

Actually, it does make me feel better. Because I can imagine how great I’d feel if I wrote something and you cried over it. Like that would ever happen.
That would be pretty great, by the way…[Read more]

@Daeus I’m reading Les Miserables, but that’s not exactly something easily adapted to this kind of club… 😛

Charlotte’s Web. Yes, yes, I know— it’s a kid’s book, but it is a classic and I think there’s lots to be learned from it.

@Emma-Flournoy it’s not embarrassing at all. It just means I handled it how it should have been handled. So it’s my fault. 😉

I vote for Black Beauty, The Hobbit, Frindle, and The Butterfly Lion. 🙂
(It might help if you tag people @daeus. I almost didn’t see this cause it was still in under Animal Farm) 😉

@kate-flournoy
*evil grin* Ah yes, power. Well, I continued reading it to her and I could hardly stop laughing. The King, who dies, made her think of someone she knows and so she gets really sad when he’s mentioned. And at one point in the story Claudia throws the golden conch that her father gave her. My sister made me leap a mile when she yelled…[Read more]

@Kate-Flournoy

I’ve told you before. It wasn’t just that he died—it was the circumstances and relationship it had to do with. So there. It’s so embarrassing that I cried over a villain. But hey, I guess there are no rules against doing that…it was a really good cry, at any rate. 🙂 Though matters were not helped by the fact that you were…[Read more]

@Bluejay Wonderful job! Making your readers cry is quite a feat. 😉 I’ve only accomplished it a couple times, myself. It’s so hard because sometimes, when you think you’re writing something moving, sometimes the reader will get a different impression…like thinking something is funny, when it wasn’t meant to be. *sigh*

@Bluejay that’s awesome! I’m afraid I’ve done that far too often to @Emma-Flournoy. I even managed to make her cry over the death of a villain once, which quite honestly utterly shocked me. 😛 I didn’t think I’d made it THAT heartrending. 😉

And she’s no crybaby either.

It’s so satisfying, isn’t it? To know you have that power. 😀

Guess what? I was reading my “Golden Conch” story to my younger sister and five minutes later she was crying!!! I’m so happy. 🙂 To be honest, she wasn’t poring tears, but she was upset. That is the first time a story has ever done that to anyone in my family. *Jumps for joy, while trying to comfort sister* **Sundaes for everyone again** 😀

Gesundheit.

Oops! Posting at the same time. Nice. Certainly nothing to be sneezed at.

@Daeus 1,704 words. I got through an entire tricky chapter’s worth of editing tonight. 😀 What’d you get?

Yeah. Not sure what’s up with that either. :/ Oh well.

@adry_grace The reason I asked about OUAT was that, in the last season they go into the underworld and end up helping some of the people down there ‘move on’ by completing their ‘unfinished business’. But I suppose that’s just a general aspect of ghosts. 🙂

What if the character thinks his ‘power’ is being invisible? At least to most people. I…[Read more]

@Daeus no problem.

Is this thing being weird to you and not letting you post…?

Hm… is it possible there mightn’t be anyone who even cared?

@Adry_Grace

@Adry_Grace okay, great. Best of luck. I’ve never written a ghost story and only read one (no prizes for guessing which 😉 ) but my gut instinct tells me the best realistic ghost stories are the ones that don’t make a big deal about the ghost being a ghost. I mean, don’t have a lot of ghostly things in them. If the ghost is still possessed of a…[Read more]

Whew, yeah @Timothy-Young, that puts things here in perspective! 😛 At least you guys over there have learned not to depend on the government for everything, though. People seem to be very slow in catching on to that over here. :/
