Awesome! Someone actually went and read them! 😉 Glad you liked them, Jada. 🙂
Hmm… I’ve heard a lot of people say the geography and all was hard to follow. Maybe I had it a bit easier because mom read them out loud to our whole family, so we were able to kind of get the whole image together in our minds better.
Oded is so sweet and funny. I…[Read more]

Maybe bury the father before the fight? That way it shows the cost first, then the resolution. Think HTTYD 2. Then it ends on a bittersweet note, but you get the bitter before the sweet.
With the mystery man… I don’t think I have enough details to properly recommend a good resolution to that. As far as putting it in place, maybe have everything…[Read more]

@Daeus I know, the description is a bit vague, but the chapter isn’t good enough to post the whole thing at this point, though I might post part of it after my current correction is done if I still can’t figure out anything (hopefully I can).

Since the man turns out to be the father of another character, the mystery does need to be…[Read more]

That sounds complicated. Not knowing all the details, it is hard for me to give any concrete advice. I will therefore give you a bunch of random ideas which hopefully will help you with brain storming.

.Could you use the revelation about the mysterious man in the beginning of the chapter to contrast with the grim reality of battle at the end and…[Read more]

Oh— okay. That makes sense. So you’re just condemning your own soul, and not going off and doing something that will affect someone else. Okay. Gotcha. (No, that was not sarcasm).

Oh… dear. Well… I think I gotcha there too. I can totally relate. Sometimes my thoughts get p-r-etty strange when I’m… shall we say… not in the best of moods. 😛

Sorry I abandoned this topic after starting it, guys… we’ve been very busy getting done with summer and welcoming a new baby into the house, and this topic just slipped my mind.

To address Emma (that’s the name of one of my sisters 🙂 )— I agree that it isn’t realistic to take a modern day character and give him a name that means something…[Read more]

I shall divert mine astonishing mental capacities to the sticky issue. Fear not. I have not abandoned thee. But it may take awhile… 😀

Ezra, I thought that a very intelligent (intelecjewel 😛 ) post for a tired, nitpicky person. You don’t seem to suffer from the malady that besets me— when I get tired and nitpicky, I can’t articulate my thoughts to save my life. Thankfully, it hasn’t come to that yet. Let’s hope it never will.

Yes. I agree with your post. I had… one point I…[Read more]

@natalee-jensen

I’ve read the Hunger Games and enjoyed them…though they do paint a rather depressing picture of life without God, especially at the end.

Anyway (MORE SPOILERS), Prim’s death was probably the most shocking for me. It took me a little while to comprehend it. How can you just kill Prim? As a slightly random question, have you…[Read more]

Oh yes, @kate-flournoy …Long white hands and fingers with a grip of steel, a sure sign it’s the Pimpernel. 🙂

Oh yes, @kate-flournoy…Long white hands and fingers with a grip of steel, a sure sign it’s the Pimpernel. 🙂

Thanks Kate for pointing out that the discussion is about whether or not they should be used in books not weather of not they’re evil(as we all seem to agree on that point!) I had picked up on that as I read through previous posts, but forgot about it as I was writing out the whirlwind of thoughts that’s been swirling in my mind and so it may have…[Read more]

Yes, thank you both— I probably need to clarify that. 😛

Good thoughts, Rolena. Thanks for sharing.

So yes. Your post definitely established that vampires and zombies are evil, but that isn’t what we were debating. I misunderstood that at first myself—that we were not debating whether they were evil or not, but whether or not we—understanding fully their wickedness and ties to darkness and…[Read more]

Yeeaahh… pretty much. Welcome to the world of Henty, all ye uninitiated.

Henty’s works go like this. There’s this boy of about the age of 17 who generally livse in Britain and ends up traveling to some other country where he has his adventures. Usually this happens by him joining the army or navy. Through the character’s honesty, skill, friends, and the willingness to take advantage of every opportunity, he ends up…[Read more]

Forgive me for entering this discussion so late, but ya’ll got my thinker chugging and I’ve been thinking on the topic in question (vampires and zombies) for these past couple weeks now. I’ll get right to point cause I know a lot of you have been reading lots of long posts on this topic already. 🙂 Mainly I’ve been pondering this about the top…[Read more]
