@salome01w4g By “cut on you,” do you mean perform surgery? That’s not necessarily true. My chiropractor gave me an x-ray because he was pretty sure there was something skeletally wrong with me, but he believes you should only get surgery if you have no other options. The idea behind an x-ray is that it can help identify your root problem. Oils and…[Read more]

Um. Here’s the thing. I’m not really into reading classic books–in fact I’m pretty picky about the books I read. I get bored easily, and sitting down to read for long periods of time makes me antsy.

That being said. You’ve probably already read this series, but if you haven’t, the Chronicles of Narnia deserves a look. And I mean the whole…[Read more]

Divine Comedy is in a tier unto itself in my book, but be aware that it takes a couple readings to fully get the book. I recommend Anthony Esolen’s translation of the work. After that, my Romantic/Realist triad of novels I like to recommend are Crime & Punishment, Pride & Prejudice, and Frankenstein.

@salome01w4g Have you gotten an x-ray?

@seekjustice

1. The Count of Monte Cristo
2. A Tale of Two Cities
3. Ben-Hur, Cry the beloved country, anything by G.K.Chesterton.

If you’ve read the lord of the rings, you should read the Silmarillion too.

Oh, and definitely read crime and punishment! You may like The death of Ivan Ilych as well.

There are more, but those are enough to start with.

Signing off. @catwing

Alright! @catwing I’m on for just a few minutes more.

It’s not, it’s different. My other project comes after. @salome01w4g

It’s…a thing…I’m not ready to talk about it yet haha. @salome01w4g

I’m on, working on a thing. 😉

@jane-maree You around, my fellow night-owl?

@salome01w4g I can totally sympathize. I used to have bad back problems. I still have some pain, but I’m mostly recovered. Feeling discomfort after 30 minutes isn’t abnormal, but if you’re in pain from sitting that long, it sounds like you have back issues. I find that those ball chairs are more comfortable than normal chairs and standing is…[Read more]

@salome01w4g I worked up to it.

@dragon-snapper @jane-maree @winter-rose @graciegirl @ethryndal @salome01w4g I’ll be writing till 8:15-8:30

@kate-flournoy *knowing look* Why doesn’t that surprise me? Scarlet is such a dramatic color…either heroic or completely villainous…

@His-instrument You, my friend, are a genius. Gosh. I love the one of Sadness.

Tall, yes. Pointy ears, probably. I like elves to be generally good, but a bit aloof. Grave in council but merry in company. Basiclaly, I like Tolkien’s elves and I don’t want anybody to reimagine them. If they do, they should create a totally different creature.

Welcome to the site @CK4always! Glad you found us. 🙂 What areas are you looking to grow the most in writing?

@salome01w4g Yes.

@hannah Yes.
