@winter-rose Oh, I like this one! Hmm, I think it’s fine with or without “whether it’s by frustrating his ward and…etc.”
How about instead of ending with, “Another bodyguard would give anything to protect a wealthy lady from Telir, but not Rook,” reword it to “Another bodyguard would give anything to protect Amy, but not Rook” (since you’ve…[Read more]

@emily-d No, I’m afraid I haven’t read this one either. I have a friend who adores Jane Austen books, but as for myself, I’m not particularly fond of books with a strong romantic slant.
Oh by the way, thank you for introducing me to Sigmund Brouwer! 😃 I received one of his books for Christmas (Robot Wars: Death Trap) and I enjoyed it so much I…[Read more]

@itisastarrynight It’s a book with illustrations. 🙂 It’s a middle-grade book about a scientist who travels back in time to the dinosaur age. I’ve finished all but one of the illustrations for the first book, but I haven’t done any for the second and only one for the third.
Here’s one from the first book:

@jenwriter17 That makes two of us. 😉 You might also like Laramie, Wagon Train, and Cheyenne because they are westerns. It’s kind of funny, for the longest time I did not like westerns at all. The only westerns I’d seen were ones like Gunsmoke and I thought all westerns were like that. Then my mom got Bonanza from the library and I was hooked after…[Read more]

@supermonkey42 Don’t feel too bad (this gingerbread house was prebuilt). 🙃 However, a couple years ago I made a gingerbread house from the walls up, and although it turned out okay in the end, I had trouble keeping the roof from caving in. 😂
@dragon-snapper Torturing people is fun (and torturing dragons is even more fun). 😜

@inkling-for-christ First person and third person really aren’t that different. Mood setting descriptions, body language, sensations — they all still work. If you have trouble telling in a first person story, it seems you have a telly-y narrator. If your narrator is constantly telling how he/she feels or giving too much information about the…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 well first of all, I must have somehow missed your introduction cuz I don’t remember saying hello. Hello, and welcome. 😉 I’m an old timer here, but I haven’t been around much lately due to crazy life. I’m so pleased to see new faces filling in.
Writing goals… *whimpering laugh*
Oh boy.
- FINALLY get the third draft of the book…

@jenwriter17 I like all the shows you mentioned (Hoss is my favorite character too), but I also like The Virginian, Father Knows Best, Daniel Boone, Family Affair, Wagon Train, Laramie, and The Donna Reed Show.

@mariposa This is epic. 😀 XD Love the frogs. And my fire.
The only thing I don’t like about it is that you’re making me hungry.
