@Rachelle Ah, and you know Pride and Predjudice too, I see. 😉 (I think that’s the reference at least…)
I do piano too, and violin.

What, 2 movies and the Broadway musical?! You’re further along in that department than I am (yet. That must change.). Yes, it’s a very big book, but so worth it.

@Ethryndal You need support, eh? Poor thing. Is it…[Read more]

@rachelle Welcome to the land of the pen! Others may have beat me to it, but I never mind that to much. Ahem, welcome to the Bestistest place on the internets! 😛
Three novels! Woof…I’ve only written one, though I have written a half of another and enough one-page beginnings to make five chapters of beginnings. 😀
Again, welcome!

Yep, what @Ethryndal said, even though I didn’t know what it meant. @R-J-Wordsmith

That’s awesome @Vanna! Perfect use of foil characters and thematic contrasts. *thumbs up* Sounds like you absolutely nailed a good (skillful rather 😉 ) love triangle.

@rachelle Ooh, digital art, how neat! AND comicy cartoony things. I guess you get the added satisfaction of being an artist and a writer at the same time. 🙂 One day I’m going to try some of that stuff… But at the moment, I stick to pencil, with a bit of water-color mixed in. I mainly do people too, though I’m more of a portrait artist.

@r-j-wordsmith There’s nothing so tragically wonderful as a sad story, and boy, you’ve written a good one. I have nothing further to add to what has already been pointed out, but I will say that I agree with you about the condemned sign. (Even though I didn’t know what it meant either. 🙂 ) If the house goes for sale, readers would be left to…[Read more]

Actually, this is like the only sad story I have ever written. Any others I release in the future will have much happier endings.

@ingridrd thanks for reading! I did consider having a ‘For Sale’ sign, but the thing is that the whole story has already been told. What I mean is, this is rather beyond a ‘Happily Ever After’, that was when Ralph and Laurie came to live there. Now the place is old, and much too run down to sell. The house will soon be gone, and with it, the…[Read more]

“You hoard potatoes?!”
“What? Haven’t you ever seen a vegetarian before?”
“You’re a dragon!”

New topic.
Potatoes.

Each door was painted with a different name in careful golden letters, and each name just as carefully crossed out.

@Aratrea Monday, Feb. 27th at 7-8 pm EST is the only one that’ll work for me. This sounds super exciting and I’d love to do it, but if I’m out-voted don’t worry about leaving me out of the rotation. 😉

For both reading and writing, I would have to say fantasy. So these three novels, are they separate or a series?

@rachelle nice to meet you! Congratulations on your novel progress, and keep up the good work. What’s your favorite genre?

@Daeus I’m not even going to attempt to read that list…yeesh, I didn’t know the writerly kind were such cowards! XD

@Dragon-Snapper *gasps* Is it an Elven cloak???

Now. I wouldn’t be completely honest if I didn’t say my biggest fear was letting other people read my stuff. Even the thought of giving my writing to someone else makes me want to…[Read more]

@Rachelle Human, elf, or dragon? 😉

Excellent choice, Lord of the Rings. Ever read the Silmarillion? (I ask because I’m currently reading it and need support…) What do you like to draw/paint? (And while we’re on the subject, is it drawing or painting? I’m an artist also; I appreciate that kind of thing. 🙂 ) Welcome to the Kingdom! Beware the…[Read more]

@aratrea Ah, okay. My sister pointed out the left-field thing as well. I’m spending some brain juice on it. I’ve got a rough catalyst for Mash #2, but I’m going over that one also and trying to make it more…catalystic.

@aratrea Wow, this sounds cool. Either the 24th or the 25th will probably work for me, but I’m pretty sure the 27th won’t, unless I’m blessed with a miracle. 😀
