Hey Kate, no one got the quote at the end of my first post on this thread. (How do you do a frowny face emoji?)
So you can elucidate, if you like. 😉

But @bluejay, you should have gotten that quote, considering what you’ve been reading recently! Look again and see if you can’t recognize it; at the end of my introductory…[Read more]

@overcomer and @kate-flournoy I think it depends on the kid. My siblings are able to sit through anything from the Little House books to LotR, but I also know kids who, like Kate was, get scared of the mildest things. I think that if a child could endure the scarier things in the story, Animal Farm would make an excellent read-aloud even for…[Read more]

Not so much harrowing perhaps, but kinda confusing. You’re right though, the style of writing helps.

Good point about Animal Farm, @kate-flournoy ! 🙂

Sometimes, I guess less is more, but sometimes it really is the other way round. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings was hardly a simple series, being full of details, and dimension. However, his…[Read more]

@Emma-Flournoy, @kate-Flournoy *sits back and watches conversation with relish* I love it when sisters act like Joy and I.

@kate-flournoy you’re always a great one for names! 🙂 You made me think up the name Corida. I also like your Revelira. I’m considering making this land a very large island that is independent of the much larger kingdoms that surrounds it by the sea. So a very free flowing sort of name would do.

How many quarters do I have to insert to make the…[Read more]

@daeus

Confused? Why? Hahaha. Okay, bye! (and I don’t make it habit of not answering Kate, no. 😉 If she wants to know something, she can generally convince you to tell it. I should know.)

@kate-flournoy

I’m sorry. I know you’ll think it through well.
Am I forgiven?

@kate-flournoy

Hilarious. I’m just saying, don’t name it that unless it REALLY fits! Of course, you won’t. But it just sounds kind of odd…if you picked up a book named Reckless, what would you think. Hm?

Thank you very much, @kate-flournoy.

Not.

@rolena-hatfield

Okey-doke. Sounds interesting!

@bluejay

Yes. I know what it was like. It was just as wonderful in the movie as well, with the added benefit of sad music!
You should read TLotR. Seriously.
Well, good! I like books worth the read!

@kate-flournoy

I know. I won’t.

Veiled threat? You know I can’t bluff, @kate-flournoy.

@rolena-hatfield

My poor violin. I can hear it weeping in the other room. 😉
Well, naming objects is fun, I think; I guess just never thought to give this one a name. Kate named one of our other ones, but not my favorite one that’s ‘mine’. 🙂 Maybe I should call it Thaine, what? He’s the MC in one of @kate-flournoy ‘s future books, and that book…[Read more]

@rolena-hatfield

Oh! Okay. That makes sense. 😛

…but they say when you’re acting in a play to pretend you’re really there to make it believable for your audience.

Yup, pretty true! @kate-flournoy would heartily agree.

Nothing like family members when you need help brainstorming. 😉 Is your WIP a fantasy? Jard sounds like a fantasy name. 🙂

@kate-flournoy
Reckless? Hm…Reckless. Be careful what you do, Kate. 😛

@kate-flournoy Will do. Let me know if you need more thinking done. 🙂 😉 😀

@kate-flournoy My mum has been think with me and this is what we’ve come up with so far. What about – Uncertain, Becalmed, Doubtful, Indecision, Bearing, Freefall, Yardstick, Abyss, Compass, Reckless, Where the Wind Blows, Broken Compass.

@kate-flournoy Drats. I actually love making up words. I made one up a few days ago and it was – metromonopolis. (Pronounce it however you want. 🙂 ) But my definition for that was; someone lost in the city by themselves. 🙂 😀 *Words, such fun things.*
