@daeus Aha. Would like some more ice cream long with the sequel? 😛
@christi-eaton Hahaha! Yeah…I’m not even sure why I asked that question. 😛 Shall I say its unanimous?

Okay, as there will be an angry mob chasing me if I do not write a sequel, as it would seem, I clearly need to write one. I already have some ideas, but if any of you have…[Read more]

@northerner I actually haven’t read The Thirteen Clocks, though it sounds neat! I’ll have to check it out. And yeah, I figured it wouldn’t be as awesome in any other publishing situations, but I’ve had so much fun seeing your all’s reactions. I love to make people laugh.
@emma-flournoy 😀 Glad you likey. When I wrote it, I knew that I had to…[Read more]

Wow. Everyone…I don’t know what to say…Just…just…here *hands out ice cream* Thank you!!!!

@graciegirl Yay! I’m so glad you liked it! *salutes you back* What was your favorite line?
@daeus It is the bestistest place on the internet, after all! 😀 And I love that line too. I tried to incorporate your ice cream and scones and raspberries.…[Read more]

Hey, friends, see if you can help me brainstorm for a bit.

So far, about fifty people have taken the reader behavior survey. That’s pretty awesome. Fifty people can show us some neat things about reader behavior, but we’re going to need a lot more need more if we’re hoping for reliable and detailed data.

So maybe my outlook was too limited.…[Read more]

KeePers everywhere!

1,000 strong. That’s my goal.

I am thrilled to announce the launch of the new Reader Behavior Survey. If you haven’t already read through this thread, the Reader Behavior Survey is a survey I put together that asks readers detailed questions to probe into how they think and what influences them. “Why?” you ask. Well, these…[Read more]

Hello Ohioans (@gretald @ingridrd @daeus @winter-rose @levipierpont),
Okay, so I realize y’all in kingdoms (ahem… cities, that is) far far away, but I’m going to put another invitation out here. And I’m even more excited about this than the Writer’s Gathering, so if you can’t make it, I understand, but if you can, EXCELLENT.
A group of friends…[Read more]

@Northerner I have no idea where my first post went. Here. Have it again.

Okay guys.
@Hope gave me a book with three of G.K. Chesterton’s novels in it as an early birthday present, and though I have only read one of them so far it completely blew my mind.
It was The Ball and the Cross.

Has anyone else read it? If so, can we please discuss how…[Read more]

@Ingridrd Ah, well, we have nothing, if it ain’t stolen. (To completely butcher a Reepicheep quote. 😛 )

@perfectfifths @daeus @ingridrd This is what grammarbook.com says. Exact quote:

Rule 2b. Do not capitalize quoted material that continues a sentence.
Example: Lamarr said that the case was “far from over” and that “we will win.”

@winter-rose
First off, may I just say that I found this story very amusing!
For one, I agree with @ingridrd that the scene with his mom should be moved to another place. Perhaps after Sam’s tale and he comes home, the mom says “Start from the beginning”, and that would be the ending.

@ingridrd thanks for reading! I did consider having a ‘For Sale’ sign, but the thing is that the whole story has already been told. What I mean is, this is rather beyond a ‘Happily Ever After’, that was when Ralph and Laurie came to live there. Now the place is old, and much too run down to sell. The house will soon be gone, and with it, the…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I have read Lord of The Rings, but I like the hobbit better, and I hope you find your way out of the bog of ideas. Did you know that before Tolkien died, he going to write a time-travel book that connected the Middle Earth world to ours? @audrey-caylin, @ingridrd, thanks so much for the welcome posts!
