@Salome01w4g Mind if I jump in? I have a poem to edit. 🙂

@Dekreel ooh, Night! That is one powerful little book.

For myself… Les Miserables, The Lord of the Rings, Fahrenheit 451, A Tale of Two Cities, The Count of Monte Cristo, A Christmas Carol, Lord of the Flies, the Mistborn Trilogy, The Roman-Britain Trilogy, The Red Keep… and the list goes on. 😛

Zikers, I have a love/hate relationship with questions like these. Um, okay. Here goes.

I have favorite book series, and then I have favorite books within that series.

–Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief (book one, series one) and the Son of Neptune (book two, series two)

–Harry Potter: The Goblet of Fire and The Deathly Hallows. I also…[Read more]

@Dekreel to tone it down from being so dark, you could change the aspects of fear and horror/dismay that the tree feels, to a sense of confusion and curiosity. That would shift the mood from ‘scary’ to a much lighter feel.

A way to avoid so much of the human terminology you can use similes instead. Saying “I feel a great, pulsing joy in my heart”…[Read more]

@DaughteroftheKing Signing off now. Thanks for writing! Read ya around! 😀

@salome01w4g Aww. 🙁 Byyee. Thanks for writing!

@Salome01w4g Yay! Welcome aboard. 😀

@DaughteroftheKing Awesomesauce and thank you!! I’m so excited to be back.

@Emily @Dragon-Snapper @Salome01w4g @Catwing @Ingridrd @Allison-Grace @goodness-I’ve-been-gone-so-long-I-can’t-remember-who’s-active-and-who-isn’t-but-anyone’s-welcome XD Hey-o! I’ll be working on some character development and possibly some poetry for the next 45 minutes or so. 🙂 Any fellow writers out there today?

@catwing Pretty much everything, since I’ve never done this before.

@ingridrd I’m back…but if anyone comes along claiming I must return to the gold from whence I came, I don’t know what I’ll do. Especially is someone says:

that.
@salome01w4g *lights your sword* Go forth and conquer!

@ingridrd I can’t hug all of them!! I had like 120 stuffed animals…now I have guilt.

*sigh*

My only critique is that I though the dog was real so I was confused when you said the button nose was falling off…but otherwise it is really cute. 😀

*gasps* *runs to tackle-hug the dozen or so Webkinz in her closet*

Anyway. Enough of my antics. @ingridrd The story does, as @kate-flournoy mentioned, give off a sort of Toy Story vibe, but there’s a sort of open-ended thrill to it that almost begs for more. And I love, love the way you wrote “Pubby”. The childlike, wondering sort of style with…[Read more]

@Ingridrd ooh, I’m getting strong velveteen rabbit/toy story vibes. 😀 I love the open end though; there’s still hope. 😉
And… believe it or not I really don’t have any criticism. It’s adorable. It made me feel guilty about my stuffed leopard that I haven’t talked to in ages. And it has that sweet, half-wistful tone of all stories told from the…[Read more]

*blinks* Oh, well, I wasn’t expecting it to be so sad… *blinks again to hide the fact that she’s crying* Okay. I’ll need to read this over again before I can give anything constructive, but otherwise, good story! It’s really well written, and the plot seems smooth and easy to follow.

I’ll come back if I think of anything else.

@daeus

Even the king is against me.

@ingridrd *cough* Dragons are our friends.
*flies off so as not to be beaten*

There. I made one!
The picture came from Pexels…the quote came from me.

@Dekreel something to think about is that Catcher in the Rye is about a character going on an adventure, and the reader experiencing his thoughts and emotions along the way.
I could list many many books that have this same vague plot. If I look at my bookshelf, there’s half a dozen that I see immediately which I could say had that idea as…[Read more]

@emily @catwing Welp…I unfortunately have to sign out now, but it would seem that you two are in different time zones than I. Read you all around. Enjoy your music…and living. 😛
