Ah!! I understand now. I didn’t know in your first post that you meant click the link BUTTON—I thought you meant the actual link.
Thanks—I’ve got it now! -

No, @Bluejay, that’s not what I meant (I posted my ‘um, no’ comment before I saw your next one, btw—it WASN’T directed at you. 😉 )—I meant, like my attempt. Which failed. The link in that post was supposed to say ‘this’. What did I do??

Ha! A family pass. Very good to know. 😉

Ummm…NO. Let’s see…
No. What did I do.

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic The Next Book Choosing in the forum Book Discussions 10 years, 1 month ago
I don’t have time to do the book club, but if you want my vote (even if it won’t count. 😉 ), I’d say The Hobbit or Little Women. You’re right, @Dragon-Snapper, Little Women is really long, but it is GREAT, as I remember from when I first read it. The version we have is Little Women and Good Wives—the sequel—though; so I’m not…[Read more]

To tell you the truth, @Dragon-Snapper, I don’t write. (Hopefully that doesn’t mean I should be kicked off KP, @Daeus. 😉 It was very friendly of y’all to accept me in the first place.)
If you want to know what I’m doing here then, you can see my (rather too long, in retrospect) introductory posts here.…[Read more]

Wow! You guys respond quickly! @lightningmouse, you hit one of the main points why I write. To write what doesn’t exist. Sure, I’m probably not writing about a story with cyberpunk technology, but if something doesn’t exist, it needs to me made.
I heard it once said, “If there a book you want to read, and it hasn’t been written yet, write it.”…[Read more] -

Hey, everyone!
I was just thinking about writing (granted, I’m always thinking about writing, but that’s beside the point). Why do we do it? Why do we want to put a bunch of words onto a page; make remixes of the Dictionary? What motivates us?
Writer’s Block, in my opinion, is just lack of motivation, so, I was thinking that each of us writers…[Read more] -

This sounds like a great book, @clairec! My suggestions, if you will accept, are these.
When the Japanese bomb Darwin, she is finally allowed to become an army nurse.
I had to read this at least ten times, thinking that the Japanese bomb was named Darwin. You might want to put, ‘When the Japanese bomb Darwin, Australia, she is finally allowed…[Read more]

Hmmm…maybe. I might be more interested in reading a book like that if it had more about the character’s personality or struggles on there. Though I don’t know if that’s something you could put on it or not…
And also, if the Japanese bombing Darwin isn’t something that really happened, I don’t know if I’d like it; I don’t care all that much…[Read more]

Well, since your making your own creatures, I would say the Chronicles of Narnia, but most of us have memorized them. 🙂 I second @hope‘s suggestion as Lord of the Rings. However, Lord of the Rings is really long and I don’t know if you have time to do that…the Hobbit is much shorter. Ranger’s Apprentice is fantasy-ish. He makes up his own…[Read more]
