Thank you for the warning!
It may seem strict, but I really feel that some things should be left out of the fiction world- or at least handled very carefully. I don’t want thoughts crossing the minds of my readers like the thoughts that crossed mine when reading The Hidden Hand. Violence doesn’t bother me very much; stealing, thievery, deceit and…[Read more]

Also @Daeus, this was more than where they started. Capitola excusing deceit with Scripture is at the very end of the book, and the prisoner she was releasing didn’t seem to have had a change of heart at all. While it’s true Capitola calmed Old Hurricane somewhat, he never really conquered his temper, and Capitola never felt that the way she…[Read more]

@Daeus I’m not sure I would go quite that far; I value them both. I understand that books can’t always be “squeaky clean” and realistic, but I felt that the Hidden Hand went too far into the realm of evil, especially in revealing the thoughts of the men and their lustful desires. Even though we should not be uninformed about the evils of the…[Read more]

Alright then; here it is. I wrote it a couple of years ago, so the grammar and such isn’t quite up to my current standard, but I think that it conveys the problems I had with it efficiently enough. Let me know if you have any questions!

In The Hidden Hand, Mrs. E.D.E.N. Southworth tells the story of a young girl named Capitola Black. We…[Read more]

@His-Instrument I’ll read through John with you! I’m not sure how often I’ll be on here, it might be regularly and it might not be. I have quite a busy schedule right now. 😛 😉 John is one of my favorite books though, and a literary study will be good for all of us I think!
I’ll be back later (probably tomorrow since I have class tonight) with…[Read more]

@Daeus The Prisoners of the Sea wasn’t so bad I guess, but I was a little younger and it is one of the gorier ones. I don’t mind sharing my critique on The Hidden Hand; did you want it here, or is there a subject specifically for that somewhere?

@christi-eaton Lamplighters are the best! 😀 Except for The Hidden Hand and Prisoners of the Sea; I had problems with both of those. I actually wrote a critical review for the Hidden Hand if you’re ever interested in it. But most of them are awesome! And the Mysterious Benedict Society is the best non-Christian fiction I have EVER read. And…[Read more]

@corissa-maiden-of-praise, I spot a Lamplighter Fan! The White Gypsy is one of my favorites! I haven’t read the Lost Clue yet. But my friend has it and I need to borrow it. Plus you have read the Mysterious Benedict Society! And you love Odyssey. I knew it just by your opening line. I found a new friend guys!

@Daeus I’m pretty sure it was some kind of dating site; I didn’t actually click on it because I could tell that whatever it was wouldn’t be good. 😛 I’m glad someone’s working on it.

Hey, @Daeus, I’m not sure what kind of advertising thing this website uses, but there was an inappropriate advertisement up on the sidebar; I’m not sure if there’s anything you can do to prevent that or not but I thought you’d want to know.

I’m joining the party a little late, but welcome @graciekry! 🙂 Welcome to the… errr… bestistest, wonderfulest, most amazing place on the web! 😀
MBTI is very interesting. I was just recently introduced to it and classified as an ENTP, but I’m not certain that’s entirely accurate. 😉
I LOVE the Lord of the Rings! 😀 😀
What instrument do you…[Read more]

@his-instrument Thank you for your warm welcome! I didn’t know anyone else had used that title! 😀 Yes, I may have taken some inspiration from Eugene. 😉 Who’s your favorite character? I would probably have to say Jason, just because in almost every episode he’s in there’s some kind of mystery. Have you listened to the Last Chance Detectives audio…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Thanks for tagging me! I actually am still in the planning stages of my current WIP, so I won’t be doing any actual writing for a couple of months yet. Pretty much I’m still working on mapping out my characters. It’s very fun, but sometimes it’s easy to get a little carried away. 😛 😀

@winter-rose @ClaireC I actually think I’m going to stop now. In addition to being very distracted, I’m also surprisingly tired. Sorry! (If it tells you anything, I wasn’t able to keep track of any6 words I wrote) 😛

Sure! Whatever works for you. @claireC

I’ll be writing for the next hour and a half or so. Does anyone want to have a go? @jess @kate-flournoy @winter-rose @warrioroftherealm @daeus @overcomer @corissa-maiden-of-praise @bluejay @anna-brie @claireC
Hmmmm….I don’t think I’ve tagged enough people….

@sarah-h I hope this will work. This is the kind of country that is around where I live
*clicks submit*

@his-instrument YES! Come to Australia. 🙂
When it’s summer we can get 40C days. About 100F. That is the extreme for us. We may go a degree or two over, but I don’t remember any days much, much hotter. However, I do like the heat, so maybe I wouldn’t notice. In winter, it is temperamental. We can have beautiful 20C days and then drop to -5C the…[Read more]
