Oh my goodness, YES!!!!! The way he twisted the Bible made me so mad… Like you said, I wanted to throttle him. *facepalm*

Those are all really good points! I agree that Rochester wasn’t ready for marriage until he’d changed (Side note: their reunion was incredibly sweet). St. John certainly contrasted him! Honestly, I reall…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Yeah, I’m a big fan of the classics! I take a pretty intense literature program, so I get to read a lot of them. 🙂 Some of the ones we’ve read this year are Don Quixote, Paradise Lost, Frankenstein (that was quite the book), and Robinson Crusoe. Last year, we did Shakespeare (among other stuff, including The Once and Fut…[Read more]

I used to totally pants my first drafts. Now I find it more helpful to make a plot outline and scene outlines before I get writing, but I still give myself the freedom to deviate from that outline if I feel like it. That’s just me though. 🙂

@godlyfantasy12 Usually I write a beginning, and then I start working on an outline/plot/characters, and usually after I have the outline for all the chapters done, or most of them, enough to keep me busy for a while, I just starting writing each chapter one by one.

@kathleenramm These days I can consume nothing but classic lit. I think when I was younger I found it boring but now I find modern lit lacking in depth and character and theme. Still, I prefer literature from the 1800’s and 1900’s, and maybe occasionally the 1700’s. Anything earlier I find, well, hard to read.

@trahia-the-minstrel

AAAAAH THAT LOOKS AWESOMEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have just SO GOT to read this series even more now! Like enough putting it off, I need to get a copy of these books!

@lydia-s Any other books you’ve read lately? Or any other classic lit you enjoy?

@koshka

That’s awesome!!! I’ve only read Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Persuasion. Hopefully, someday I’ll get around to reading her other novels! 😀 (maybe I’ll listen to them… I’d probably get through them all faster that way… lol)

@madelyn

Agh, that makes me so happy!!! So glad I could be helpful. <3333

I know!!! WIPs can feel so overwhelming… I haven’t even gotten beyond daydreaming for my dream project bc I know it’s gonna be big and require a lot of mental maturity I’m not sure I’m ready for yet (Why I do this to myself, I have no idea…) So, yeah, I get it!

(And I…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

So glad there are other fans out there! *happy sigh* Jane is indeed a ton of fun!

@trahia-the-minstrel

I agree, Jane and Mr. Rochester have a SUPER sweet relationship. (He cracks me up with his snarky comments… Add her spunk into the mix, and oh boy, don’t things get fun! XD) I think my favorite part of the novel if eit…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I like master/servant relationships, maybe like young lady and her butler, or something similar. Or I like the idiotic duo who share one brain cell. That’s just really fun to see.

@kathleenramm Hmm unless you count the time I couldn’t fall asleep from like midnight to two in the morning because I kept getting writing ideas to jot down haha. That was pretty energizing.

@elishavet-pidyon

Aww, thank you so much, girl!!! <333

@keilah-h

Agh, we did spoil it, I’m so sorry!!! *sobs*

Yeah, he definitely survived a lot! Especially before he came to Cloud Mountain, poor guy.

@keilah-h Nice! How many fanfictions have you written?

@lydia-s Yess I read Jane Eyre back in high school and I really liked it! Jane is a big mood.

Ooo, how fun!!! Thanks for tagging me, @devastate-lasting!

Aaaaaaand, since we can talk about anything, plz tell me someone here has read Jane Eyre and loves it as much as I do!!!! (It took serious self control to not put that entire last part in all caps…😂)

(Side note: @power, that was gloriously fun to read… XD)

@madelyn

(*cringes* I am very late to the party…)

Ooo… This sounds like it will be a fascinating story!!! Retellings are so fun. XD

I’ve dabbled in retellings a little bit, but as I never finished my project (it was a retelling of The Little Mermaid called Rebel.), I don’t have a whole lot of advice for this particular genre. When it comes to…[Read more]

@koshka

It really is phenomenal. The scene where Louisa falls is amazing, too, I agree. 🙂 Do you read much Jane Austen?
