Hannah R. replied to the topic Writing Dares! in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
Okay, I’m open to more dares, because I need more ideas! @winter-rose, @ingridrd, @gretald, @daeus, @anna-brie, @bluejay, and anyone else who wants to challenge me.
Easy dare to anyone who wants it: Use the word “flabbergasted” in whatever you’re writing right now. Because it’s just a fantastic word.
I love your profile pic, Ingrid. Lord of the…[Read more] -

@Daeus Sorry I didn’t respond until now. I was at a drama workshop all day. 🙂
I suggested Sign of Four because it was the only Sherlock Holmes novel haven’t read yet. However, if the people who haven’t read Sherlock Holmes think reading Sign of Four would be confusing as it isn’t the first novel in the series, then let’s read A Study in…[Read more]

Alrighty, everybody. I’ve tallied up all the votes and the one with the most points is …..
………
….Sign Of Four!!!
(I always wanted to read a sherlock story)
Now this leaves us with one question. It appears this is one of the later stories and it was suggested that we read A Study In Scarlet instead because it was an earlier one. Of…[Read more]

Hannah R. replied to the topic More than one question about writing an allegorical series in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
Thank you all so much for your suggestions! In answer to your questions:
@ingridrd , the original way I wrote the series was that every book was in third person, and different groups of characters were in different places doing different things but all a part of the same story (think Lord of the Rings… love your profile pic, by the way!) But…[Read more] -
Timothy Young replied to the topic Hi, from the Deeper South in the forum Start HERE 8 years, 5 months ago
@gretald, Henty has some very good books, Top three (my opinion 🙂 ) “In Freedom’s Cause” ‘By Pike and Dike’ “The Cat of Bubastes.” “By Right of Conquest,” ‘Knight of the White Cross,’ “Lion of the North,” ‘Lion of St. Mark’ being very near competitors.
@rolena-hatfield, 29 more books? I might have miscounted then… I was only aware of four…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy
*evil grin* Ah yes, power. Well, I continued reading it to her and I could hardly stop laughing. The King, who dies, made her think of someone she knows and so she gets really sad when he’s mentioned. And at one point in the story Claudia throws the golden conch that her father gave her. My sister made me leap a mile when she yelled…[Read more] -

@gretald Yes I was!!! The chimney sweep was my favorite dance and favorite costume. 🙂 It has been my over all all time favorite community show to be in due to an amazing cast and great directorial team! (Sorry for the delayed reply, things have been crazy until now!)

Hope Ann replied to the topic Titles…again in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 5 months ago
@Daeus, @Kate-flournoy, @anna-brie, @gretald, @overcomer, @bluejay, @everyoneelse So here’s a related problem I’d like your thoughts on. Should you publish a book with the same title as a book already publish? Nothing iconic, like Hunger Games, but simple, one-word titles like Powerless. Powerless, for example, has about four books under that…[Read more]

Thanks, @hannah-c ! Good luck to you too.
So far, I’ve written 1,544 words. Writing has been kinda slow since I still need to finish organizing my notes and read over my prewriting before I can really go forward with it, but I should have that finished within the next couple of days.
How are things going with the rest of you and your…[Read more]

That’s a tall goal, @bluejay ! Have fun with that. 🙂
Fantasy is lovely to write, @winter-rose . I use it as my excuse to daydream more. 🙂
Wow, @anna-brie ! I completely forgot that not everybody on here is enjoying the first-fruits of Summer. Well, I like your not-so-Summery goals! Congratulations on finishing your first draft, and good…[Read more]

Yep. They did. 😉 But anyway.

Hope Ann replied to the topic Titles…again in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 5 months ago
@anna-brie I know…those ones aren’t very good. But nothing is clicking.
@gretald The problem with Legend of the Shield was that I discovered it was actually the title of some comic series. 😉 And nothing just seems to be snapping. And the way my book’s theme has changed, The Final Clash really doesn’t fit anymore.
That’s a good point, @kate-fl…[Read more]
