Ha. Anything, of course. 😉 No limit.

Yes. Besides reading, there’s almost nothing that can better prepare someone for writing than rewriting. Which may sound a bit counter-intuitive, but it’s true.

@Dragon-Snapper awesome handle. Is there a story behind that?

Oh yeah— welcome to the Realm of the KeePers of the Kingdom. There are *ahem* a few dragons on this forum, myself included… it would be greatly appreciated if you refrained from doing any… erm… snapping? 😉

Where do you hail from?

Glad to have you here. *salutes* Captain. 😉

Yes, Lord of the Flies is really good. Very powerful. And concise. I really admire powerful concision. *chuckle* *snicker* *choke* They make it look so easy! *wails*

@Daeus I’ve read Monte Cristo… 😉

And @Hope I’ve read Lord of the Rings… 😉

*coughs* Okay, let’s see if I can add anything to this discussion. Fahrenheit 451, anybody? (That’s got to be in my top five favorites. Not kidding.)
Lord of the Flies?
North & South?
A Christmas Carol?

@Daeus the rotten tomatoes have eaten me alive. I’ve been picking since six— my apologies. They’re really starting to come on now, and anyone is liable to instant conscription from here on out. 😉 Tell you what. If I get a night I’m available, I’ll tag you.

@Daeus my apologies for the late response— I was sorting tomatoes. 😉 I will be writing, but probably not for very long now.
I should be available tomorrow though.

I’m sorry Gabrielle, I haven’t either. I do think it’s more a program for beginning novelists than anything else, though.

@Daeus okay. Thanks. 🙂

That seems about right, @Daeus… though I can’t say for certain because I don’t think I’ve ever been seriously offended. I might be too shocked to do anything at all coherently. 😛 But women are definitely more ones to talk over a problem and see if they can get it worked out that way than ignore it and move on, pretending (to themselves or…[Read more]

@Daeus every thought is a categorical statement? Whew… lucky you. 😛 For my part, though my brain is more or less categorized (think computer browser with a million tabs open in a billion windows), I jump so rapidly from category to category it’s really difficult to keep a steady thread of thought sometimes. I digest information more…[Read more]

@Daeus oh. *disappointed sigh* Alas, it was not to be. 🙁 😉 🙂 😀 You could do that with a sequel though…

@Daeus wait a second… the Earl? *glances at you sideways through narrowed, suspicious eyes* Ummm… last I checked, the Earl was dead.
I should have known better. The instant you didn’t show me his body, I should have known he wasn’t really gone.
Thanks for the spoiler. 😛 😉
Great point about Luigi Vampa. He’s an excellent ‘grey’ character.…[Read more]

@Hope won’t tell you this guys, but it’s really good. I officially recommend it. Yeah, I may be a little biased because she’s my friend, but bias doesn’t make people cry, and I cried over this book.
So there.

@Daeus okay, no problem. Good to know. 😀

@Daeus you writing tonight?

*groans* Oh please @Daeus… don’t trouble yourself.

@Daeus that’s great. I got 242 written. Short sprints are the word of the day. 😉

Oh! Ha. 😛

Yes, I am. I can write till four.
