@clairec Welcome to the awesomest, bestistest, coolest, greatest…any other words that end in -st place on the internet! I’ve grown so much as a writer just from participating in discussions with more experienced writers and learning from them. I know you’ll love it here!

I have wished for a long time that someone would write some books that…

Welcome, welcome, welcome, @clairec!

I have wished for a long time that someone would write some books that were not only clean but also glorifying to the maker of story ideas.

I have wished that too. And then I thought, wait…I can write those clean, God-glorifying books! It’s so amazing that we have that ability. It makes me really happy!!!!!…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy The Duchess and the Devil is the one you’re referring to, I believe. And that’s actually my favorite one… *hides* because Archie. Archie is sad. Archie is wonderful.
That one wasn’t too bad in my opinion. There was one kind of suggestive moment… I think that was about it. But as far as blood and violence goes, it was pretty…[Read more]

Thanks, Daeus! I’ll check it out.

Haha, K.M. Weiland’s site is one of my favorite writing sites on the internet, so good choice! 😉 I appreciate it!

@Daeus This is such a cool idea! I’d love to be a part, if I can remember to write characteristics down. 😉

I don’t know whether you’re a plan-out-the-entire-novel sort of person or a start-from-scratch sort of person or a…[Read more]

@belegteleri I followed you!

I have a blog, too at writingandblog.wordpress.com.

@winter-rose Who are you, you weird stranger?

Just kidding. Hehe. 🙂

Thank you for following me! Your blog is pretty cool, too.

@winter-rose Congratulations!!! That’s a wonderful accomplishment. 🙂

@hannah-krynicki Oh, nice! Have fun on vacation. 🙂

I haven’t read Sign of Four before, but I’m thinking that Watson’s attraction to Mary is entwined with the main story plot somehow, like Sarah said. I also think it serves to contrast Watson’s character and Sherlock Holmes’s character. Watson is much more emotional and open about his emotions, whereas Holmes doesn’t have much emotion at all.…[Read more]

@C-C-Lane It’s great to meet you!
Awesome, I love LOTR, too! I’m reading it for the third time this summer. 🙂

@c-c-lane
Hello! And sorry I’m a little late. 🙂 You sound like an awesome person. I can’t wait to get to know you!!!!! 🙂 Welcome and have fun!

Nice topic! I agree 100% on all your points.

Using adjectives sparingly: When I was little, everyone was always telling me “You need more adjectives,” and “you can never have too many because the more descriptive your writing is, the better.” Wrong! You said it, Kate, there is such a thing as overkill.

But…but, wait. Y-you don’t like…apple…[Read more]
