@seekjustice Well, a really famous one (In the U.S. and England, at least) is Pygmalion, which was made into the musical/movie My Fair Lady. I can’t stand the thought of the plot, because the male protagonist is horrible the whole way through. (I think he ends up a little tiny bit better in the musical version, but just barely.) The play is by…[Read more]

@jenwriter17Â I’d imagine somewhere in the tween-early teen age, since that’s how old the MCs are, but I don’t know for sure
@sam-kowal @valtmy Thank you both so much! It helps a lot 😀

@seekjustice And here’s a link to the Wikipedia article on the musical.

@seekjustice Have you heard of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel? It was a stage musical, later made into a movie. It was based on a play, rather than a book, but I read the play like a book on Gutenberg, so it could count if you’re not too much of a literalist?
It actually has a kind of weird, fantastical plot, which upon reading th…[Read more]

This actually isn’t all that bad. The writing flows nicely and does fit that of a children’s book. Though I agree with @sam-kowal that there is not enough tension that would keep a reader (especially a child) engaged. The story so far seems to be more of a description of the events that are happening as there is not much conflict or…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m not here… 😀 (It’s still Sunday where I live, so I’m not working) But I just wanted to ask you a question:
I’ve been jumping over to your blog once in a while to look for updates and I really like the new series you have going: Book vs. Movie vs. Musical. But I was wondering if you’ve picked out all your subjects yet? How ma…[Read more]

@supermonkey42 WOW! That is so cool. And funny. 😀 Third time’s the charm, huh? And the right to blankets without holes should definitely be Constitutional. 😀 😀
I really liked the unconventionality of the way you skipped the end of the last line of the first stanza and went into a separate ramble. It made it very interesting.

@dekreel I don’t have to time to give it a full beta-read, but I scanned a few pages of it.
I’ve never watched those tv episodes you mentioned so I have no dea if it was contrived… honestly, for children’s stories, it seemed well done, though. The story moves along nicely and it seems… I can’t think of another word than polished, which is to…[Read more]

@ashlyvye XD Yep. Stan’s full name is Giarstanornarak, although it’s actually this odd dragon-culture title where the ‘rna’ is an honorific and his normal name is Giarstanorak. Sort of like ‘Brightlord’. XD I’m definitely not a crazy person
Yes, it’s Dalinar himself having the visions in the highstorms… actually, I don’t think I remember…[Read more]

@christianna-hellwig 😀 Anytime awesome swords are involved, the epic factor goes up.
I play the guitar, and I’m going to learn the keyboard soon, because we just got one. (I’m definitely not a master on the guitar, though.) I usually make my music by picking out guitar notes or trying some chords, and I don’t make the parts for the bass clef. To…[Read more]

@ashlyvye OH! I never explained it to you, did I? *bangs head on table*
KPA stands for KeePer adventure. It is, as you can see, a story about all the awesome beings on Kingdom Pen. So by “being in the KPA,” you are a character X)

@skredder Interesting! Do you take a business class?
Ahhhh! Heheh XD
@winter-rose That’s funny! Hm… I seriously need to read LOTR…… *glances at bookshelf*

@ashlyvye Just because I like you and I thought you might like reading this…… 😉 (Mostly cuz I like you XD )
Hmmmm! Do you want to be in the KPA sometime?

@winter-rose *gulps Gatorade* 😉
BTW I’ve been meaning to ask you: Why do you and Snapper (and maybe Ethryndal, too) call each other LOTR names? XD

@skredder Yep. I want it finished before Easter so I can post the last part, the finale on Easter
What reasons may that be…?
You can do it! YESS! What is the project about? Or am I being too snoopy? If so you don’t have to answer it

@skredder Ouch. Ahh, school essays…
Well, now I’m back at the KPA. Seeing if I can finish the entire thing by March. It’s a marathon

Greetings, Kapeefers!
So when I was thirteen, I spontaneously decided that I was going to write a children’s book series. I started writing several of them before I found myself buried in writer’s block, so I walked away from them.
Lately I have been considering coming back to them. So today I read Mariposa’s article on Pixar and children’s…[Read more]
