Hello, hello, hello! I’m back after my long, rainy week of church camp. I’m tired, but I’m here.

I know I should probably be working on Prison, my current WIP, but I’m giving it time to cool down a bit. If that makes sense.

I’ll be on and off writing until about 10:00 or so.

@Kate-Flournoy *gives you motivational pizza* You can do this. *pats you on the back* XD

@Kate-Flournoy *picks you up off the floor* I’m right with you, Kate. 😀

@Kate-Flournoy *picks you up off the floor* I’m right with you, Kate. 😀

@kate-flournoy @graciegirl @winter-rose @Emma-flournoy He just passed away. Continued prayers for my brother would be much appreciated. I didn’t know Tom, but my brother was really close to him and this is really hard for him. Thanks muchly.

@Emma-Flournoy Ah, you’re right. Of course you’re right. I actually remember that now, too.

@graceofspades2017 Well, looks like I need to Gnag (pun totally intended) that sister of mine to get the rest of the Wingfeather books from the library! OH YES, the footnotes. I’d forgotten about them. THEY. ARE. BEAUTIFUL. I love them too much. So. Funny. XD

@sleepwalkingmk Yep–literature can be very powerful in that way by helping a reader look at an issue from a new perspective. Knowing what it looks or feels like in other works is a great first step to doing the same thing in your own works!

@graciegirl Nice job. That looks like a great pairing. When I first read through it, my worry was that answers 2 & 3 and then 1 & 4 both looked kind of similar, but reading through them again, I can see the distinctions you’re drawing there. As long as those distinctions remain clear in your head throughout the book that should work out great!…[Read more]

@graciegirl Yeah–it will get easier the more practice you have at doing this with films and books, but some stories are still tough to analyze in this way!

I haven’t read “The Little White Horse,” so my ability to contribute helpfully here is going to be a bit limited. However, from what you said, it could be that the FQ is something like “What…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Seems like the story writers had a great idea, but just didn’t execute it very well.

@graciegirl Very well. I can certainly understand forgiving a story. I was really brutal with this one. I don’t know why.

@kate-flournoy Yes, you’re totally right, but it has nothing to do with yearning. *imagines himself staring attentively at a toad crossing the road*

@graciegirl 😛

@kate-flournoy Congratulations on connecting with the characters. I think if I could have connected with them earlier on, I probably could have liked them a lot more.

I’ll only argue on one point. Being hopeless and without a cause has nothing to do with whether a character has yearning. Because Harold. *nods sagely*

Ha! Ok, that’s really funny…[Read more]

@graceofspades2017 Hehe. 🙂 Yes, that’s quite a bit of good input there.

@kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy @dragon-snapper @graciegirl @ethryndal

Ok, I’ve watched Rogue One. I liked it. I hope you’ll forgive me, but for me it was a bit of a mixed bag. I understand this is a dastardly statement, so I’ll try to explain myself.

For me, the movie was clearly divided into two sections. Pre going rogue and post going rogue.…[Read more]

Welcome to the site, @graceofspades2017! Great to see another fantasy lover. Haven’t read Wingfeather Saga yet, but it’s on my reading list for this summer!

@graceofspades2017 Ah yes, the Wingfeather saga. I’ve read The Dark Sea of Darkness, but never managed to get the other two from the library. (This is what happens when you rely on your sister for library books. She will undoubtedly forget. 🙂 ) It wasn’t my favoritest book ever, (I thought the characters could do with a little more development)…[Read more]
