@daeus  Congrats! That’s some great advice 🙂  How are you liking Pinterest so far?

Okay, I actually did this thing. 😀 I’m now on Pinterest posting writing tips.

Hmm. I don’t know who would be interested in this. Here are some random tags. 🙂

@anne-of-lothlorien @seekjustice @graciegirl @mariposa @winter-rose @jenwriter17 @inkling-for-christ @christi-eaton @epicaddie2

@emily-d  *pursues* *growls ferociously*  …Just kidding ;P  I see what you’re saying about the weirdness and stuff. Personally, I like it because of the action, and because it was interesting seeing what Meg was learning.

I hear there’s a new movie coming out, so maybe that one will be better. Although, it’s a Disney movie, so… I don’t kn…[Read more]

@emily-d  I got through like a third of the book before I… got bored of it. It’s intriguing, and very well-written, but there’s barely any action, just talking. And talking. And talking. Is suppose if I read the rest of it I would change my mind…… But it’s been awhile, and I think I’d have to start over at the very beginning.

So…[Read more]

@inkling-for-christ

Yeah, what @sam-kowal said. 😛

@winter-rose Oh, I like this one! Hmm, I think it’s fine with or without “whether it’s by frustrating his ward and…etc.”

How about instead of ending with, “Another bodyguard would give anything to protect a wealthy lady from Telir, but not Rook,” reword it to “Another bodyguard would give anything to protect Amy, but not Rook” (since you’ve…[Read more]

@emily-d No, I’m afraid I haven’t read this one either. I have a friend who adores Jane Austen books, but as for myself, I’m not particularly fond of books with a strong romantic slant.

Oh by the way, thank you for introducing me to Sigmund Brouwer! 😃 I received one of his books for Christmas (Robot Wars: Death Trap) and I enjoyed it so much I…[Read more]

@itisastarrynight It’s a book with illustrations. 🙂 It’s a middle-grade book about a scientist who travels back in time to the dinosaur age. I’ve finished all but one of the illustrations for the first book, but I haven’t done any for the second and only one for the third.

Here’s one from the first book:

@jenwriter17 That makes two of us. 😉 You might also like Laramie, Wagon Train, and Cheyenne because they are westerns. It’s kind of funny, for the longest time I did not like westerns at all. The only westerns I’d seen were ones like Gunsmoke and I thought all westerns were like that. Then my mom got Bonanza from the library and I was hooked after…[Read more]

@supermonkey42 Don’t feel too bad (this gingerbread house was prebuilt). 🙃 However, a couple years ago I made a gingerbread house from the walls up, and although it turned out okay in the end, I had trouble keeping the roof from caving in. 😂

@dragon-snapper Torturing people is fun (and torturing dragons is even more fun). 😜

@inkling-for-christ First person and third person really aren’t that different. Mood setting descriptions, body language, sensations — they all still work. If you have trouble telling in a first person story, it seems you have a telly-y narrator. If your narrator is constantly telling how he/she feels or giving too much information about the…[Read more]

@inkling-for-christ Haha! 😀 I don’t think I’ve ever seen a “show don’t tell” review before. Good job.

@mariposa *blinks* Stop torturing me.

@kate-flournoy *dives into eggnog and rescues drowning maiden (or dragon as the case may be)*

@dragon-Snapper Here I’ll make you even more hungry:…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I like all the shows you mentioned (Hoss is my favorite character too), but I also like The Virginian, Father Knows Best, Daniel Boone, Family Affair, Wagon Train, Laramie, and The Donna Reed Show.

@winter-rose Be sure to put me and Aberdeen on your beta-readers-in-waiting list. 😁

@gabbyj *hands you hot chocolate* Worry not. I know my close relatives can get out of hand sometimes. 😛

@theacornman I love your signature. XD

@mariposa This is epic. 😀 XD Love the frogs. And my fire.

The only thing I don’t like about it is that you’re making me hungry.
