@sarah-h Showell Styles was a Welsh author. I’ve not read any of his other books outside of the Quinn series, but if they are as full of adventure and humour as those, I’m sure they’d be enjoyable to read.
I have dreams of writing edge of your seat WWII screenplays…I’ll read something and file it away for “someday”. (Speaking of which, any…[Read more]

@gretald I guess that #2 is a lie. But if it isn’t, what was it like? Was it all shredded up? I’ve seen sea urchin skeletons, and I’m wondering how you would get to the meat, if there’s any at all.

@gretald I’m going to guess #2

@daeus I’m convinced this is the best place on the internet (creating a word like bestistest = seriously amazing). I like to write fiction, mostly fantasy–I’m fascinated with creating new worlds–but I’ve never yet finished a novel. I wrote a few short stories though. Right now I’m writing more poetry, and even got a poem published on here…[Read more]

@gretald Yes, Bruchko is really good! I have read it many times. There is a sequel too, if you like it. Another of my favorites is Counted Worthy by Leah E. Good. 🙂 What are some of your favorites?

Well, everyone, another milestone…
I have reached page 100 in my story. 11 point Time New Roman font, which is something to cheer about. YAY! I reached that mark within the course of three and a half months.

@the-happy-bookaholic No se. En la Santa Biblia, entendimiento significa “understanding”, y mi madre nos enseñemos (?) a hablar “no entiendo” donde nos no entendamos ? algo. Ella sabe le Español de America Latina, y ella vivió (?) en Columbia un poco. Es posible que la (usage) de palabras como entender/ comprender (varies from region to region. No…[Read more]

@gretald Yup, I do that except the other way. When reading books with French in them, I understand the French by using my Spanish knowledge.

@sarah-h the ‘yo’ form of corregir is corrijo. Sí, Chinese es my difícil. Yo prefiero Español, pero en Singapore necesitamos aprender lengua de madre.

Yo deseo saber, por qué ustedes usan ‘entender’ par…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien Mine is just the words “write for the kingdom,” as you might have noticed. I know @gretald‘s is a picture of our family and a British family we met in England. 🙂

@gretald The mouth animation was by painting over the top of the mouths already there in a program on my laptop. So I’d take the photos and then edit them. I’d say the word myself, – “Prince” and copy the shape of what my mouth is doing onto the photo that I took. 😀 Then I do the next word. Two syllable words need to pictures to make the word and…[Read more]

I know people have asked me to post this when it was done, (I can’t remember who so I’m going to tag everyone I know)

@gretald, I haven’t been in much, just small homeschooling recitals, etc. I’m more of a singer than an actress, but I enjoy acting, so I think it’s really just that I’ve never had the opportunity to do much. I recently did a term of Musical Theatre classes. So, acting, singing and dancing. I really enjoyed that. We had an audition in the last…[Read more]

@gretald When I was about 7 I was in a Thanksgiving play… I had one line. I still remember it. “Are you sure? Mistress Cook said the Indians would cut off our scalps!” 🙂

Beyond that, I’ve been in no plays that reached completion. I’ve attempted to get a couple started, but they always fell by the wayside since there wasn’t enough interest. But…[Read more]

@gretald I’ve read all 4 novels and all 60 short stories. A favorite novel… probably… oh, I don’t know. Study in Scarlet was neat since it was the first one. Hound of the Baskervilles is classic. Valley of Fear is wonderfully surprising and suspenseful. And Sign of the Four was not only a top-notch mystery, it had a sweet love story as well.…[Read more]

@spradlin @hope @gretald @ingridrd @BlueJay Thank you all so much! Maybe I’ll get brave and post one or two more sometime… 🙂

@zcpeterson
I love your poem! Overall, I think the meter should be a bit more consistent (for example, in the last stanza), but other than that, it’s a great poem. 😉

Or can hold every bird in it’s flight

That would be “Or can hold every bird in its flight.” Sorry, had to fix that. 😀
@sarah-h

I’m not very good at critiquing poetry though; Kat…
