Oh @Bluejay, I’ve read that one!

Have you read Joyfully at Home, by Jasmine Baucham? It’s really good.

And another one I HIGHLY recommend is It’s (not that) Complicated, by Elizabeth and Anna Sofia Botkin—that one was extremely helpful and encouraging for me.

You too, @sarah-h and @clairec. 🙂

Can’t go wrong with that, @Bluejay! I’ll be praying for you and the others who are doing it with you. 🙂

@Bluejay

A king’s personal bodyguard who takes his job very seriously but has an extreme case of claustrophobia.

“There is a difference between a book of two hundred pages from the very beginning, and a book of two hundred pages which is the result of an original eight hundred pages. The six hundred are there. Only you don’t see them.” —Elie Wiesel

@Kate-Flournoy, I think you’ll appreciate this one.

@ClaireC

Oh, that’s sweet. 🙂
I read the poem—nice job with his thoughts in the story matching the sentiments expressed in the poem.

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise

Well no one says awesome can’t be a genre!
Sounds interesting; I hope you have fun. 🙂

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise

Haha. 😉
What genre is your WIP?

Ooo, is the Sofigietto by C.P.E. Bach the one you’re talking about? I love that one!!

@Hope

But especially with the scenes which could have happened, but had to be clipped for time’s sake…those are fun to go back and read and spend a little more time with favorite characters.

Oh, that kind would be nice. 🙂
It’s just too bad not everyone wants a giant book; then you wouldn’t have to cut scenes for time’s sake. 🙁

@Dragon-Snapper

Write a comedy where a morbid but incredibly competent potato bug is the villain in a world full of valiant trapdoor spiders. 🙂

@hope

One thing though, Hope—I’ve never really got this.
Why include old scenes as special material, if they are in fact old? Because if you deleted them from the book, they most likely didn’t happen, and why show your fan something that could’ve happened if it didn’t? Chances are they may like the deleted way better, and then it’ll leave them…[Read more]

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise

Hullo, fellow stalker. Feel good to finally be a part of it all? 😉 I’ve seen you on Hope’s blog, so I kind of know you. 🙂

I play the piano and violin too—what genre of music do you play?

@clairec

I just copy-and-pasted the YouTube link; I didn’t know it would actually put the video there, I was just aiming for the link. Do you know how to copy and paste?

@bluejay Oh!! Sorry… :/ I was going to say, we’re close in age to each other; but never mind.
I still like you. 🙂

@Kate-Flournoy
Ha. Ha. Ha.

Yo @bluejay! Yep, it’s me. Hi again. 🙂
But I’m never really far off, even if I don’t post…I’m always…stalking…y’all . *creepy bell music*

🙂 (I wish the winking emoji didn’t look worried. Does anyone else think it looks worried or apologetic, not mischievous?) 😉

By the way, how old are you again? 16, correct?

@writefury

Aggg! Yes, Retribution will break your heart, but that one is my favorite. Because…well, I’m sure you know why. TOO SWEET!!!!!

I read your 4th of July Hornblower fan-fic on your blog—you capture their personalities so well!! And that last line was perfect—“And now my other present for you—none of this is your fault.”…[Read more]

Urgh. @bluejay

@Kate-Flournoy

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*

Actually, it does make me feel better. Because I can imagine how great I’d feel if I wrote something and you cried over it. Like that would ever happen.
That would be pretty great, by the way…[Read more]
