Wow. Everyone…I don’t know what to say…Just…just…here *hands out ice cream* Thank you!!!!
@graciegirl Yay! I’m so glad you liked it! *salutes you back* What was your favorite line?
@daeus It is the bestistest place on the internet, after all! 😀 And I love that line too. I tried to incorporate your ice cream and scones and raspberries.…[Read more] -

I am suffering from major writer’s block. I’ll start in the morning and find that, at 3:00 I have 300 words (give or take). This has been happening for several days now, and I am getting stressed out.…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I know you just signed off, but I was pretty determined to figure this out. Go ahead and ignore this post till morning, and hopefully it will help you when you try then! 🙂 Okay, so I think you’ve been trying to follow @Bluejay‘s instructions, right? I found that they didn’t work in my situation and I kept getting really long links…[Read more]

Hey, I’d like to start building up my summer reading list! Going on a looonnggg vacation and need a few recommendations. So: good books? I like fantasy and the like, not a big fan of romance or horror novels. @graciegirl @overcomer @r-j-wordsmith @Rachelle @Dragon-Snapper @northerner @perfectfifths @Ethryndal @Brandon-Miller @the-bean @Julia-R @Gid…[Read more]

Ooh ooh what about Tales of Goldstone Wood series by Anne Elizabeth Stengl. I really love the ones I’ve read of that and they’re really beautiful fantasy and allegory-ish too. Super well written.
-
The Youngest Templar Trilogy by Michael Spradlin (not this @spradlin)
The Black Arrow by Robert Louis Stevenson
All of the Ranger’s Apprentice books by John Flanagan (unless, of course, you’ve read those)
The Brotherband Chronicles by John Flanagan
In Search of Honor by Donnalynn Hess
The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin
The Hero’s Guide to Saving…[Read more]-
@dragon-snapper LOL. Ironically enough, my favorite genre to write is medieval fantasy.
-
@spradlin Haha! That is too funny!
-
-
-
The Space trilogy by Paul Regnier and A Time to Die trilogy by Nadine Brandes.
-
-
And another thought that I just had would be: Orphan’s Song (Gillian Bronte Adams), or A Wish Made of Glass (Ashlee Willis) – both fantasy. 🙂
-
Pendragon’s Heir by Suzannah Rowntree. Arthurian legend and historical fantasy plus time-travel. Also a great book in its own right. Be prepared for an authour who asks hard moral questions and doesn’t give easy answers. Has a bit of romance but even I (who can’t talk about romance at all without getting snarky) liked it.
-
-
I’ve got too many recommendations.
Ilyon Chronicles by Jaye L. Knight
Blades of Acktar series by Tricia Mingerink.
Finding Angel by Kat Heckenbach
Tales of Taelis series by Sarah Holman
Annabeth’s War and Captive of Raven Castle by Jessica Greyson.-
The Gammage Cup, by Carol Kendall
I just finished reading that a couple weeks ago, and can’t stop raving about it. Fantasy. No romance. No horror. Just a lovely, light read.
-
-
Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. More of a sci-fi than a fantasy, but it’s a must read. I recommend it to everyone.
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard is fantastic, though if you get it you should probably get the sequel alongside it and spare yourself the suspense.
If you’ve never read Little Men (yes: men. not women) by Lousia May Alcott you need…[Read more]

Patrick W. Carr’s “The Staff and the Sword” trilogy was a really refreshing fantasy to me. =) Also “The Scarlet Pimpernel” (not fantasy) was really good.
-
Can’t wait to check some of these out!!! I will have lots to read this summer! Thanks, everyone! Oh, and I have read Johnny Tremain, but it’s been a *few* years, so thanks for mentioning it! I think I’ll go to my bookshelf and re-read it now!
-
I’m in the middle of reading Virals by Kathy Rieches (the original mind behind BONES)… it’s so, so good! I highly recommend it. Just throwing that out there in case you’re still needing some more reading material. 😉

I miss @bluejay . 🙁 I have to go now, @daeus , @graciegirl . Thanks for writing with me! How’s the writing coming? I mostly just looked over some old short stories of mine to find a good one to work on. I think I’ll be back two hours from now to work on it if anyone wants to join me then. 🙂

Hey KeePers! I’m back! For a few minutes. Because I have a question. It may not have merited it’s own thread, but I didn’t want it to get lost with all the conversation in another thread. And I knew we had a few or more personnel in the Indiana and bordering states area, so…
Is anyone else going to the Best of British Bible and Science…[Read more]

@Bluejay!!! I’ve been thinking of you quite often and wondering what was up; and been praying for you, ’cause I’d no idea why I hadn’t heard from you in so long. I’ll certainly keep praying for you and your family, and I really hope all goes well.
Love you. *hugs* -

Hey, @bluejay! Glad to see you again, though I’m sorry to hear what’s been going on! I was wondering where you went, especially since I made comments on that story you sent. If you’re still up for all that and want to get in contact with me, I have changed my email, so I’ll have to send it again 🙂
