hey everyone! I just bought three new books and I plan on reading them soon. I wanted to see if anyone of you had read any of these, and if so, I would appreciate any warnings of questionable content. Here they are:
Defier, by Mandy Fender
Swipe, by Evan Angler
Last Light, by Terri Blackstock
btw, is anyone on Goodreads?

@aislinn-mollisong That’s exactly what happens to me if someone asks more questions after I say “oh it has some horses in it. kinda mysterious thing going on.”

Happy Library Lovers month! (yes, it’s a legit holiday. seriously.) Library Lovers day is on February 14th! ❤
Btw, everyone, there’s a Goodreads giveaway going on for King’s Folly (Jill Williamson) and The Evaporation of Sofi Snow (Mary Weber). About 72 days left for King’s Folly, but only 7 for the Sofi Snow one.

@dekreel I think what the article said was that a symbol is something that is seen only a few times as an overreaching message, and a motif is something that is interwoven with the whole story. In my mind I likened the motif to a knight’s coat of arms, which would be seen on everything, (shields, clothes, furniture, flags,) and the symbol to the…[Read more]

@dekreel Yeah, I guess I could do that, but I still think grammar wouldn’t be considered important enough, since you can probably google a lot of it. Usually KP likes to publish more general things that are just ideas. Daeus did do an article on sword fighting once, but even that is more complicated than a little grammar.

@rochellaine Yyyyesssss… But they’re both technically symbolic objects that represent something. How does one tell the difference?

@rochellaine You could do a smaller thing for the Keeper’s Corner if you didn’t want to do a full-size article 🙂

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writer's Corner #13 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
@clairec Okay, I might try writing the article, then. But I don’t think the people here at KP would think it important enough to publish if I just did a grammar lesson on “thees and thous” so I think I could write it as “how to use slanguage in your writing” and do a small section on old English. What do you think? (And I would definitely ha…[Read more]

@princessfoo It was Patty Bride from the Carolyn Wells Patty Fairfield series. The Patty series is one of my absolute favorite book series. 🙂 If you’re interested in reading the series you can get them free or for a couple of dollars on Kindle, or find most of them online at gutenberg.org and Google Books, because they’re now in the public domain.

@daeus Sort of. I basically took all of your advice and binge-fixed my book. XD So although I didn’t rewrite it, it has drastically improved.
*nods elvishly* I am forever in your debt.

@clairec I’m not sure what type of advice you’re looking for, so I’m going to dump it here. 😛
If you can make a way for people to follow you, do so. That will help so that people come back to your blog. And make the follow button easy to find. I doesn’t like it when I can’t find the follow button on blogs. Dragon Snapper no like. 😛

@rochellaine Hmm, the show sounds interesting. I’ll have to check it out. I haven’t watched anything before on dailymotion.com though.

@gh24682468999 Haha! It looks pretty scary at first, but the analyzation you have in your signature helped me memorize it pretty quickly. 😀

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writer's Corner #13 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
@dekreel No worries. 🙂 My family uses the KJV, so I’ve been immersed in correct “thee and thou” grammar for years. A lot of people use it as jokes, to make it sound more medieval or something, but an incorrect “thee” sentence is to me the same as “her and me could have went with they to the game if they’re mom might let them.” 😀
You said “I…[Read more]

@rochellaine I actually had no idea that you were talking about “thees and thous…”
HAHAHA! Well tell your brother that I appreciate it. X’D I was watching it on a TV channel, so I really had no choice whether I was getting a good one or not. But I’ll take note! XD

@princessfoo That’s one of the absolute worst things for me: when there’s this huge fight and if they had just let each other explain, there would be nothing wrong. I actually saw another Hallmark movie where the same thing happened. So far I’ve read one book where they did it right. When the guy was out of town and got an accidental let…[Read more]

@dekreel Oooh, that’s what I meant when I told someone here about using “thees and thous” ungrammatically. *cringes* please tell me that was a joke! 😀
Oh, cool! Glad you liked it. I actually haven’t seen that one, but I asked my brother about it and he said it’s not very good, so if you liked it you should definitely enjoy the better ep…[Read more]

@seekjustice Cool! Tell me if you like it. At first I didn’t like part of it because she had the guy dress up in ruffles and face paint – and then I realized that she was just being realistic, because that’s how guys dressed in society back then. Boy am I glad I didn’t live in that period!
