@his-instrument *blows out breath* Oh, man. I don’t think you always have to use the same POV in every novel in a series. But I don’t see a reason why you wouldn’t…if that makes sense. I think using the same POV in a series of novels makes the series more cohesive.
I agree with you about first person, by the way. It’s always been easier for…[Read more]

@his-instrument
Great questions…
I think before I attempt to answer the first one, I need to know: would the stories be told from the same character’s point of view throughout the whole series? Or would you have the first book in third person told from character 1’s point of view, and the next book told in first person from character 2’s point…[Read more]

*rueful smile* I know. I’m so spoiled.

That is the most awful thing I’ve heard in a long time. HOW DO YOU SURVIVE WITHOUT YOUTUBE???? Okay, okay, so I’m not that dependent on it… it’s just it’s a lot easier to write sometimes when you have dramatic music playing. 😛

@Daeus

@Daeus here. Bring Him Home.

@Daeus whoa… *stares*… you’re right. That is really, really freaky. 😛

@Daeus I got 868 words. :/ I’m sure you beat me. What was your word count?

@Daeus yup. Till nine.

Hahaha… yes, I can see how that would be difficult. 😉 My favorite is probably Bring Him Home. To listen to and to sing— that last note gives me chills. 😀

@Daeus

@Daeus just recently, and now it’s like my all time favorite stuff. I literally walk around the house singing ‘I dreamed a dream’ and ‘Bring him home’ and ‘Stars’… it is such beautiful music, and the words are gorgeous too, which I don’t find too often these days. 😛

Urgh. @bluejay

@Kate-Flournoy

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. 😉

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*

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*
