Faith Kindred

@Daeus I’m reading Les Miserables, but that’s not exactly something easily adapted to this kind of club… 😛

Charlotte’s Web. Yes, yes, I know— it’s a kid’s book, but it is a classic and I think there’s lots to be learned from it.

@Emma-Flournoy it’s not embarrassing at all. It just means I handled it how it should have been handled. So it’s my fault. 😉

And if it’s any comfort, it makes me very happy when you cry over my work. Doesn’t that make you feel better?? Hm??? *hysterical laughter*

Ah yes, tags. @christi-eaton @faithdk @gretald @belegteleri @hope @spradlin @hannah-c @sarah-h @overcomer @wordfitlyspoken @dbhgodreigns @zoe-wingfeather @hannah-olsen @writefury @anna-brie @hannah-krynicki @hislittlerose @vanna @jadamae @adry_grace @ingridrd @kate-flournoy @the-happy-bookaholic

I vote for Black Beauty, The Hobbit, Frindle, and The Butterfly Lion. 🙂
(It might help if you tag people @daeus. I almost didn’t see this cause it was still in under Animal Farm) 😉

@kate-flournoy
*evil grin* Ah yes, power. Well, I continued reading it to her and I could hardly stop laughing. The King, who dies, made her think of someone she knows and so she gets really sad when he’s mentioned. And at one point in the story Claudia throws the golden conch that her father gave her. My sister made me leap a mile when she yelled…[Read more]

@Bluejay Wonderful job! Making your readers cry is quite a feat. 😉 I’ve only accomplished it a couple times, myself. It’s so hard because sometimes, when you think you’re writing something moving, sometimes the reader will get a different impression…like thinking something is funny, when it wasn’t meant to be. *sigh*

Oh boy, look at me being so forgetful. Hey folks, we’ve come to the end of Animal Farm. I hope you’ve enjoyed it. I know I did. It was a style that was different which was unhelpful in some ways, but helpful in others. There’s not much out there like that. I think the best things we learned from it where how to write bold characters and…[Read more]

@Bluejay that’s awesome! I’m afraid I’ve done that far too often to @Emma-Flournoy. I even managed to make her cry over the death of a villain once, which quite honestly utterly shocked me. 😛 I didn’t think I’d made it THAT heartrending. 😉

And she’s no crybaby either.

It’s so satisfying, isn’t it? To know you have that power. 😀

I think I like Crowned Powerless as well. But since I don’t really know what you changes have been I don’t know exactly how well it fits.

Congratulations @bluejay. I haven’t done that myself yet.

Guess what? I was reading my “Golden Conch” story to my younger sister and five minutes later she was crying!!! I’m so happy. 🙂 To be honest, she wasn’t poring tears, but she was upset. That is the first time a story has ever done that to anyone in my family. *Jumps for joy, while trying to comfort sister* **Sundaes for everyone again** 😀

Gesundheit.

Achoo

Noooo! You beat me. I need to get higher grade ear plugs or something.

Oops! Posting at the same time. Nice. Certainly nothing to be sneezed at.

@Daeus 1,704 words. I got through an entire tricky chapter’s worth of editing tonight. 😀 What’d you get?

@kate-flournoy 1,586 edited, though I admit I stopped five minutes early because I was at a chapter break.

Yeah. Not sure what’s up with that either. :/ Oh well.

@adry_grace The reason I asked about OUAT was that, in the last season they go into the underworld and end up helping some of the people down there ‘move on’ by completing their ‘unfinished business’. But I suppose that’s just a general aspect of ghosts. 🙂

What if the character thinks his ‘power’ is being invisible? At least to most people. I…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy No, but it seems whenever I click on the link for the most reason comment of this thread, it brings me to page one instead of page 67.
