@Daeus Imma be super helpful here…

…

… what they said. XD

@Northerner ha! 😀 It may or may not have crossed my mind…

@daeus I like the sentence change. I do like @graciegirl‘s version too… So, yes. Not much help. Just general agreement…

@Daeus I think lingering works. Better than anything I could come up with.

Aaand… honestly I’m not sure. It’s a toss-up. Both of those work in different ways… So helpful, I know. 😛

Ladies and gentlemen, this is how we integrate theme and premise. Let’s have a round of applause.
*deafening applause*

@Rachelle I love it! Do it. Cliches aren’t cliches if they’re part of the theme and by extension necessary to the story.

Thanks so much guys @Hope @Audrey-Caylin @Kayla-Joy!

@R-J-Wordsmith sure thing. How about… pencils? *eyes twinkle*

@Daeus I like it! As Kate says… you were born to sell things. Writing about my book is one of my least favorite things. Can’t just writing the thing be enough? As for bittersweet, I looked it up int a thesaurus and it gave me poignant, nostalgic, affecting, touching, and sentimental. Not sure if any of those fit, but…

@his-instrument The Princess Bride! 😀 Fezzic to Westley.

Ha! Aaaand she already posted. 😀 I leave you in the hands of a dedicated fan, @His-Instrument. 😉

@His-Instrument Oh look! A Les Mis RANT THREAD! :’D

@EMMA-FLOURNOY GET OVER HERE NOW.

*ahem* Love this topic. I could probably write a book about everything Les Mis did amazingly… you covered a lot of it. I’d also like to point out what a great job Hugo did of recycling characters— bringing them in again in all the most unexpected places…[Read more]

@Daeus *gags* No THANK YOU.

Hm… good point. I’m drawing a blank though. I shall return if something comes to me.

@Daeus you were born to sell things, weren’t you?
I love it. I think it’s great. Can’t find anything right off the top of my head that needs fixing.
And hey, it’s not flattery if it’s true, now is it?

As for descriptions… solemn?

@Northerner I would love to, especially as this is one of my absolute favorite time-periods, but I’m afraid my schedule will not allow for any consistent sort of time-table, at least not currently. Keep me on your list of for the future though— I really want to read this.

@Rachelle WOW. Her dress. How did you make it look like textured fabric??? Textures are the one thing I always struggled with. Good job. That’s… wow. Good job. 😀

*is suddenly smitten with doubt in everything she’s ever learned as she realizes she doesn’t know*

@Daeus *chokes on snack* Aaaaaand this is why I don’t normally pick favorites. XD

“Fire is set to devastate the world and you are offering me chocolate?”
“It tastes good, my dear. Relax, would you? It’s only the earth.”

@Rachelle those are GORGEOUS and that little mini story is too adorable for words. *hugs herself to keep all the warm fuzzies inside* More pleeeeeeease… Pretty please?
