@rolena-hatfield – That sounds cool! What’s the name of your book?

@Hope – What was that @Hope? Did I just hear you got chocolate you’d be willing to share? I’m running out. Dark is my favorite. *bats eyelashes and puppy face*

@Bluejay – I love WWI Hi-Fi stories. What’s the title? (I like knowing people’s titles.) If you want to get exactly to…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper What do you mean when you say you like the battles better than the morals/change? I’m kind of confused 😛

So some more writer mind stuff. I was researching the fitness programs for the military so I could see how much my characters would be able to take (by the way, thanks @hope for your amazing blog, specifically the Trampling…[Read more]

The reality of our world is clearer seen through the unreality of imaginary worlds.

@Kate-Flournoy I love the wording you used here. @Hope once you’re done with NaNo, could you maybe possibly do a photo thing with this? It’s just too perfect.

And to answer your question, @Kate-Flournoy, I’ve not forgotten yet. Although it has gotten to the point…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I think it’s because it’s something we haven’t personally experienced, but that sounds enthralling. A sense of adventure, like you said. Just as the idea of unknown lands magnetized explorers like Leif and Columbus, so the idea of mythical things captivates us today. We’ve discovered our entire planet (well, we don’t know…[Read more]

@Hope– Thanks! Yes, ma’am. 😛 *gives Wolfgang a hug*

@Daeus– *takes an icecream* I must say, I’ve missed the bestiest place. XD

@kate-flournoy– Well, it’s good to be back. 😛 *pats Wolfgang* I might make a BM topic…

@dragon-snapper– hey hey, new little dragonling! 😀 Good to see some new faces!

@Corissa-maiden-of-praise– Yes yes little…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy @hope

Whaat? I like I See Fire just the way it is. And, yes, Emma. I view the Last Goodbye the only redeemable element of the Battle of the Five Armies. Whatever . . . opinions opinions. Sometimes I make a playlist of all the Lord of the Rings end credits songs (in order from worst to best) and just let the memories flow . . .

@Hope I’ll have to check those out. Thanks.

It seems Peter Hollens does covers of all the popular movie songs, and I knew you liked him besides. 😉

(Not great at tagging, but I’ll give it a try) I’m looking for British beta-readers.

@Hope I’ve only heard the original version. Mebbe I should listen to a different one. But the voice is just too…yucky sounding! 😛 I don’t like his way of singing. What other version would you recommend? (Lemme guess—did Peter Hollens do one? 😀 )

@Bluejay @hope @kate-flournoy Yesss… Fantastic questions. We’ll hit those.

@kate-flournoy I think that’s right. Think of it like “dance” only without the “n” and with a stronger s sound and a bit of us before the s.

Speaking of which, I realized that the u is simply pronounced quickly if my name is spoken slowly. It is when you refer to me casually that the u becomes barely pronounced.

@hope Not that then. It’s like…[Read more]

@hope Uum… maybe. I don’t know what a short a is.

134 posts… wow. I do believe you’ve hit gold with this thread, @dragon-snapper. 😛 😀

@jess Quaker Haven is in Syracuse, IN. It’s really awesome- if anyone on here can ever come when we go, you’d be more than welcome. It’s generally the first or third week of August when we go, I believe. I’m sure I’ll mention it when we get there.…[Read more]

Here ya go @Hope —lots of dark chocolate. I commend you for liking it dark.

*gigantic group hug* I love everybody so much!!!
I have had SO. MUCH. FUN. reading this thread. All the stuffs are just so…nice. 😀 😀

About being feely—I like hugs, but only if the recipient likes it too. I would hate to hug someone who didn’t want me too. Also I love handshakes, especially ones with character. There’s something so nice…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien So you’re good without a life-jacket now. Perfect! 😀 And the water’s generally deeper than five feet. It was over my head a little at the deepest spot within the docks, so it’s probably more like six feet.

And your poor neighbor boy. Or maybe poor you. He may be watching you with disgustingly…[Read more]
