@jenwriter17 Hey Jenna,

Sorry it took me so long to respond! It doesn’t look like something I can do this year, but that is really cool! Thanks for letting us know about it. 🙂

Hi Y’all!

So upon @jenwriter17 ‘s suggestion, I added an email subscription box. While I am yet to get a blog post up (I will soon) I did upload a youtube video this morning if you want to check it out. 🙂

@ariel-ashira  Personally, curse words don’t bother me in books until they are misused or used too often. That being said, I don’t generally find curse words very offensive, as I’ve grown up around several people who cuss. This summer I visited Ireland, and they cuss constantly! If I were to describe that experience though, I don’t think I would say verbatim words they used but instead something like “I was cussed out on the streets”.

So yeah. I don’t think it’s a terrible thing. Curse words can convey emotion, conviction, and actually add to your story- if you don’t use them to much. Over used curse words seem like “filler” and you loose meaning. I hope that helps. 🙂

@rochellaine Recently I’ve read An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde (which is very funny),  1,000 Things Worth Knowing by Nathaniel C. Fowler Jr. (Not really much worth knowing, but some interesting stuff), and My Chinese Marriage by Mae M Franking (A great biography type book).

@rochellaine  *Blushes with shame* No… I quit. It was just a bit too weird for my taste. However, that did get me started on reading random Gutenberg books, which is fun. 😃

@rochellaine  Hmm, that Elsie Dinsmore article was interesting. I am a bit disturbed by the things mentioned in the article, but it is only now that I am realizing that those things happened in the books, 11/12 year old me had no clue.

I think what bothers me the most about it is her repeatedly saying that she will not let her daughter read them. There are so many books that have way worse themes- not to mention that a lot of books for that age have way too mature romantic subplots! Besides, at 12 I noticed more how Elsie treated the other kids than the racism.

 

Anyway, I’m writing!

@jenwriter17 Aww, thanks! Yes, I plan on doing YouTube videos. Do you have any blogging tips? I just was looking at your blog the other day and I love it. 😊
