@kate-flournoy Actually, I would say there is no better way to learn writing, period.

Now I’ll have to be gone for just a moment because guess what I’m doing? Yep, rewriting.

By the way, you might want to give some more detailed examples of your lesson for people who aren’t familiar with your book.

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.

Only one thing? Oh, dear. 😉

I’ve done a lot of rewriting and it’s a super enlightening process. I’ll have to think about this a bit and come back.

@dragon-snapper Yeah, well, one can only handle so many dragons and then it all breaks down into chaos.

@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. 😉

Hullo @bluejay. Are you writing tonight?

Howdy Dragon Snapper. Nice way to cruise on in. Looks like there’s a good forecast on the forum. Should be nice travel.

@hope Not sure if this will work for your prophecy, but this is what sounded good to me.

Ancient sign, bitter fate
Scar and oath and quest
Name revealed by righteous power
Shall poison’s power wrest

Ancient weapon, bitter foe
Shield and spear and doom
Legend shattered, triumph claimed
A sign will show the tomb

Ancient battle, bitter bane,
Night…[Read more]

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*

Wow @kate-flournoy. Whoever would have guessed? You read that too?

…Awwweessoooommmmmee

I just finished LOTF two days ago. I love that book. There were sometimes I got a bit confused, but the book was really convincing and the conversation between Simon and TLOTF was to die for.

@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?

@bluejay Wrote 687 words. Worked for something like 40 minutes-ish.

Ok, @kate-flournoy. It’s good to know you died in peace. I was a bit worried there.

@bluejay Hey, great! I’m in till nine.

@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.

@kate-flournoy Are you there, Kate, or have the rotten tomatoes eaten you alive?
