@winter-rose
Thanks for tagging me, but I’m sick, and my brain kind of feels like mush right now. 😉

@his-instrument Awesome! Looking forward to seeing you there in a couple hours! Check your email at 7:50 to get the webinar link. 🙂

@aratrea I’ll be there!

@jess Absolutely! I’ll talk with some of my friends in the pre-law program and shoot you a connecting email once I find someone. 🙂

@winter-rose I’ve finished the letter and it was 699 words long. 🙂 And since I have no story idea in my head, I’m going to stop now. Let me know how you go. 🙂 Please.

@winter-rose I’ve got a letter to write, so I’ll join you for a bit. 🙂

@dragon-snapper Congratulations! How exciting! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Heeeeyyy! In Freedom’s Cause, I’ve read that one. It’s been awhile, but I remember it being not too bad for a Henty.
High praise, I know. 😛

And Scottish Chiefs is definitely worth reading. Not the best written in all aspects by any means, but I still enjoyed it quite a bit.

@daeus WHAT HAST THOU DONEST!? Jk, it gives me great pleasure that my thing is spreading. Maybe one day it’ll be cool enough to warrant a t-shirt… xD 😀

ALSO, MANY MORE THUMBS UP AND CONGRATULATIONS, NOVEL COMPLETING FRIEND! I AM PROUD OF YOU AND YOUR NOVEL COMPLETING ACCOMPLISHMENTS!

*MANY THUMBS UP* 🙂

@sleepwalkingmk My understanding is that English is more focused on grammar and syntax and some of the more technical aspects of the English language, whereas literature is more focused on reading the great books and discussing/analyzing them. There’s a fair bit of overlap, though, between the two majors, but that’s the directions they tend to…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper YAY!!! *balloons, confetti, lemonade, sherbet, cookies, sparkles*
It’s a glorious feeling, isn’t it?

Congradulistactions, @dragon-snapper!!! It is so nice to complete a novel, no matter how many years *coughs* I mean, months, follow. *smirks* I’m so encouraging, aren’t I? Seriously though, congratulations. 🙂 80,000 words is quite the achievement.

@sarah-h Good point. They do have rather high entrance requirements. That being said, I do know friends here who didn’t 100% make the entrance requirements but were still allowed in. Because it’s a small school, if you try hard enough to get in, you have a pretty good chance of making it in, even if you don’t necessarily meet all of them. So if…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper There are some websites you can look into that help you find college scholarships. FastWeb is one of them. So is Niche. Granted, they will take your e-mail address and mailing address, and you will get mail from colleges who are interested in you, but it’s not too bad. There’s also Chegg, which I think I am signed up for but I…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper My recommendation would be to figure out what kind of majors you’re looking at and research what the best colleges are for that major. If part of your purpose of attending college is to help your creative writing, I would think through whether or not you want to go to a place with a strong literature program or a strong writing…[Read more]

Excellent question! As a second-year college kid, I could probably write you a book on things to know before starting college, but there are actually lots of books already out there to help you with the transition. My biggest piece of advice is find somewhere that you feel at home at–or think you will feel at home at, and then go for it–get…[Read more]

@rolena-hatfield I’m so glad you liked it. 🙂 Have you read the books “Kingdom Series” or Knights of Arrethtrae”? If not, you should. They are really good reading books. Maybe I should do book review on them and send them into KP. 🙂
