@gretald When I was about 7 I was in a Thanksgiving play… I had one line. I still remember it. “Are you sure? Mistress Cook said the Indians would cut off our scalps!” 🙂
Beyond that, I’ve been in no plays that reached completion. I’ve attempted to get a couple started, but they always fell by the wayside since there wasn’t enough interest. But…[Read more]

@gretald I’ve read all 4 novels and all 60 short stories. A favorite novel… probably… oh, I don’t know. Study in Scarlet was neat since it was the first one. Hound of the Baskervilles is classic. Valley of Fear is wonderfully surprising and suspenseful. And Sign of the Four was not only a top-notch mystery, it had a sweet love story as well.…[Read more]

@Hope Oh, yeah. The Speckled Band is really creepy. And the plot twist in the Valley of Fear…it was so good. I didn’t see it coming at all. 😀

@Corissa-maiden-of-praise
Ohh, I love Sherlock Holmes!!! Have you read all the novels? Which was your favorite? Personally, I liked The Hound of the Baskervilles and Valley of Fear the best. 🙂 Which short stories have you read (if any)? -

Well…actually…I was very blessed to play Anne. 🙂
@corissa-maiden-of-praise
My director is amazing (if I do say so myself 🙂 )! I love the plays she picks…well, most of the time. 😉

Yup, she’s pretty amazing! 😀@bluejay @corissa-maiden-of-praise @clairc

That’s great! And those are some tough rhymes you had to work with, there. Awesome job! 😀 -

@kate-flournoy *sighs* What on earth shall I do? We need another crazy person! Well, I guess patience is a good thing to learn. 😉 Only 4 more days… just 4 more days… are we there yet?
@sarah-h I kind of figured. I just didn’t want to leave @BlueJay with the impression that I use not-nice words. 😉

@kate-flournoy Don’t worry, I’m not going to attack you. I know they’re not perfect and I suppose some of them are a little gruesome; those kinds of things don’t really bother me, especially when it’s fiction. (I suppose when you have dreams like I do, you have to learn not to let it bother you. I’ve done some pretty terrible things in dream-land…[Read more]

(btw @kate-flournoy, are you still up for that?),
@Daeus always, but gimme some wiggle room. I may not be able to take it right away. I’ll let you know when I’m ready for it.

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise… um… heh. *dons kevlar* I’ve read quite a few Sherlock Holmes and I never really cared for them. I really love intense stories and a good mystery, but I think the thing with Sherlock Holmes is that so much of it just seems pretty close to horror. It’s not technically horror, I know, but those I’ve read are so……[Read more]

@winter-rose My church offers one or two every semester. The official name is the Fellowship Baptist School of Theology, or FBST for short. 😉

@clairec You should check them out sometime! 😉

Corissa Maiden of Praise replied to the topic Sherlock Holmes in the forum Book Discussions 10 years ago
@winter-rose Well, all of them! 😉 The Valley of Fear is the one that surprised me; unfortunately, it also contained the most swear words. 😛 But The Hound of the Baskervilles is always a classic. For short stories… *scratches head* *screams internally* Oh, goodness, I simply CAN’T choose! 😀

@winter-rose It really wasn’t morbid at all; it was actually quite intriguing. Yes, it is from a Christian perspective. Dr. Whitcomb is fairly famous; he co-authored The Genesis Flood which has been promoted quite a bit by Ken Ham and the Creation Museum. He’s also written several other books and taught several Christian college courses. And even…[Read more]

Ah, this looks like the right place for this. @BlueJay 😀
So, who out there has read Sherlock Holmes and loved him? Or, dare I say it, hated him? *gasps* If you do hate him, please tell me why, because aside from a few swear words 😛 I thought they were some of the best stories I’ve ever read. In one of the books, Sir Doyle did something that…[Read more]

I’m interested in a few beta readers for a story called “The Golden Conch” Do I have a few volunteers?
@kate-flournoy @anna-brie @spradlin @sarah-h @overcomer @hope @anyone-else - Load More

Me! Me! Pick me! *calms down* Please? (you can get my email securely from @hope)
If @hope is alright with that, we can go through her, or you can send your email address to @spradlin and I’ll take it from there.
@BlueJay Okay, either way works for me… what’s @spradlin‘s email?
kingdompenmag@gmail.com 🙂 So send her your email address and she can forward it on to me.
@BlueJay Done! I can’t wait to read it! 🙂
(Also FYI I’m signing off for now… *see* you tomorrow… or later *today* if I get up before you go to bed. 😉 )
@corissa-maiden-of-praise You’ll have to be up before 6 (for you) to do that. And I’ll be watching a movie with my family so I wouldn’t be able to write anyway. 🙂
Did I hear someone say, “beta readers?” That’s sounds like fun! What do I do?
@overcomer Happy doing what I just suggested to @corissa-maiden-of-praise?
I’ll give it a shot. 🙂 @spradlin should have my email since we’ve written back and forth a few times over K.P. stuff.
You got it!
@overcomer That’s probably the best way. @spradlin Can you send it to me?
Thanks, @spradlin ! 🙂
I can. I shouldn’t be too busy to read something short next month.
@anna-brie I have your email so I can send you the story. (as for short, it is 15 pages long) 🙂
@bluejay Me too!!! 🙂 I’ll post my email and then delete it, so it will only show up in your notifications. At least, I hope it works that way. 🙂
@bluejay I’m afraid I can’t beta read it this month. *scowls while looking over scheduled* I’ve probably too many projects going as it is… Not that I care, but my brain is warning me against accepting another one at this point so I should wait…
