Little Brown Dog

Perhaps you could make her hair a more realistic length, but still have if long…waist or knee length. That’s definitely realistic and hair is quite pretty at that length. If you wanted to change the story up a bit, you could give her a hair color that wasn’t blonde. 🙂

How exciting! Congratulations!

Thanks for the ideas, everyone! I’ve sent a list of revisions to my designer. 🙂

I would ask my favourite author “how does she come up with such exciting and wonderful ideas to write about?”

@Daeus thank you! I do like the font, but the lines are so thin even at this substantially blown up size.

@Bluejay EEEK!!! I didn’t even see the missing E! Thank you!!!! 🙂

@Hope I do really like the fancy Y at the end of Publishing, but I like the sound of Publications better. Maybe he can do a fancy S or something. 🙂

Do you all think the…[Read more]

@ivy-rose – I agree with Daeus. I like number four too. You said that your website is “Lakeside” Publications but the logo has “Lakside.” Is that meant?

Nice question! Believe it or not, I actually got to ask this of one of my favorite authors (the one who was actually born in the last century… 🙂 )

I asked what he would have done differently when he went to publish his first book. He told me that he wouldn’t have submitted his book to a publishing house. He said he wished he knew about self…[Read more]

Welcome, Hannah! It’s always good to see new faces here on the forum. 🙂

I’ve got 5 brothers, too! My one little sis and I are severely outnumbered…but neither of us mind. Brothers are awesome. 🙂

Fruits of the Fairies??? :s

I love the books of Ruth and Esther. Two women who did what God wanted and were blessed because of it. I think it should be so encouraging, at least to females, to stand firm in your faith and do the right thing. Even if the outcome might kill you, (Esther going before the king) or makes you step outside your comfort zone (Ruth leaving her…[Read more]

1,600 is awesome, Kate! And 4,600 is amazing or one day…even if it is a long chapter. 🙂

For me…it definitely depends on the day, but I never let myself do any less than 500 words and have done as much as 3000 in those 3 hours. My average is about 1,500.

@kate-flournoy – I love it when Anna recites, but I also like in the 2nd one when Emiline reads it aloud in class. And when she acts in Mary, Queen of Scots too. 😀
But my favourite part in the movie is with the fireworks. We once had a pet lamb in the house (with a nappy on :P) and she had fallen asleep at our feet while we were watching it and…[Read more]

@rolena-hatfield – I have not read the highwayman but I’ve heard Anne recite it. It sounds a very moving poem. We have number 3 but I haven’t watched it yet. I can’t wait though.
I sometimes think I’m very much like Anne (with an E 😀 ). A writer, an actress (and very Dramatic) and I’m always (at least when I was younger than I am now) in…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy – Have you ever seen Anne of Green Gables number one or two? In that movie she repeats from the Lady of Shalott all the time. “Willows whiten, aspens shiver, little breezes dance and shiver.” Or something like that. I have never actually read the entire thing but what is used in Anne is so good. Like the time she nearly drowned…[Read more]

@daeus and @kate-flournoy – You have made me laugh so hard. 😀
Thanks @kate-flournoy for your suggestion. I’ll have a look at changing it.
As to poetry…hmmmmm…I’m actually not one to read poetry. I can never find the rhythm in them. But maybe I should try… 🙂
And cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg *yummy* add stewed apples and cream and voila, magnificent. 😀

@kateflournoy Wow! You do a lot of writing! How many words can you do in that time?

@hope Good for you! I wish I could write that much.

@daeus I wish I could do mornings. I envy those who can. 🙂

@rolena I write randomly throughout the day, too, but I learned that school drags on if I keep ‘taking a break’ to write. 😉 Middle of the…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy – What do you think of this as a starting?
A single light glowed from a window and cast strange and ghostly shapes on the empty street outside. The constant flickering of the candle light displayed that the person in the room moved about regularly. The footsteps were muffled by a thick rug that warmed the floor. Robes swayed back…[Read more]

Alright! England here I come. *fingers crossed* Hope it works. 😛
