Some of my favorite books are Lord of the Rings, the Harry Potter series, the Inheritance Cycle, the Percy Jackson series, To Kill A Mockingbird, and The Giver. I’m probably forgetting some…oh and the Wingfeather Saga. 🙂 I’m a big fantasy fan, if you can’t tell. 😉

@sleepwalkingMK
It seems that I need to read Henry V and the other historical Shakespeare plays. 😉 What are all the Shakespeare plays you’ve read? I’ve read Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. 🙂

@kate-flournoy
Thanks for sharing your thoughts/observations/stories/writing tips! 😉 Our family went out west a couple years ago, and it was a lot of fun! I agree with @daeus that going out west (or anywhere else, really) makes me thankful that I live in Ohio. I couldn’t stand living in a place with no fall colors (like in California–well,…[Read more]

@clairec I’m guessing #2 is the lie. 🙂

@sarah-h @alia

1. I have five dogs (and one of them is named Toto after The Wizard of Oz). FALSE
2. I have eaten sea urchin before. TRUE
3. I never eat food. (Just kidding about #3…) Here’s my real one: I have been skiing down a double black diamond hill before when I was new to skiing. TRUE

So #1 is the lie. I have three dogs, and none of the…[Read more]

@MichaelStanton

I am going through my novel and editing around 450 words at a time. Then I am going to add in certain scenes (and edit them) to make it to 70,000 words +

I hope that the edited book will have a deeper message than the current draft, and the plot, characters, and world will be rounded better.

@emma-flournoy Well, I’m glad. It’s been a huge blessing to me too, having just finally got it inside my thick skull. I learned it at a farming conference of all things. The hardest part is how easy it is to slip from just being faithful to God and letting him do things through you to trying to do great things for God. The second one sounds all…[Read more]

@Christi-Eaton hm, you have a point… 😛

Well, @kate-flournoy I have a feeling that “Cool” isn’t quite the right word while describing passing out 🙂 🙂 🙂

Haha. 🙂

@WarrioroftheRealm yeah. What he said. 😛

@Daeus

Wow, man. That was some great advice! Thanks a lot! I think my problem is that 1) I have a sort of lack of discipline (I am easily sidetracked by other awesome ideas..) and 2) I’m excited to move on to another project (most likely another one of my ideas…).
I can get impatient when it comes to writing. :}

@WarrioroftheRealm

Sure. I might be able to help. At least, I’ve been non-stop editing for, umm, maybe six months or so and haven’t gotten tired of it.

I’d guess they’re three possible options for what’s holding you back: Depression with book in general, lack of discipline (aka, you can’t stay concentrated), or you’re too excited about your next…[Read more]

@kateflournoy

Thanks! 🙂

Oooh boy I am really not the person to be giving advice on editing. 😛 But let me see what I can do… hm… *thinkthinkthink* How did I overcome this problem?
*makes wry face* Did I even have this problem?
Well yes… in some small measure anyway. Okayyyyy… I’ll give this a shot. It’s easy to view editing as simply a drudgery— boring because…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper I’m still writing but I think I’m not gonna race, because I’m getting to a really tricky plot-twist and I need to concentrate without feeling rushed. Good luck though. 😀

M’kay guys, I’m stopping now. Got 382 words.
