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]

Oh, okay. Thanks @Daeus. I didn’t know about that… Sorry to bring up a stale discussion. 😛

@Sarah-h, I agree with you. Although, I wouldn’t say that it’s wrong to create another world that doesn’t have Jesus Christ in it specifically.

Rats! I missed the voting. 😛 Oh well, I’m afraid I’ll have to sit this one out anyway, but you all have fun with it!

@Daeus Sorry I didn’t respond until now. I was at a drama workshop all day. 🙂

I suggested Sign of Four because it was the only Sherlock Holmes novel haven’t read yet. However, if the people who haven’t read Sherlock Holmes think reading Sign of Four would be confusing as it isn’t the first novel in the series, then let’s read A Study in…[Read more]

I accept the dare!
My profile is Arwen (how do you spell it?) from LOTR. 🙂

@winter-rose Oops! I meant two month old baby. 😛 😉

@Daeus, I should probably mention that I’ll be gone all of next week, so I won’t be able to participate in discussions next week.

I vote for…
1. The Sign of Four
2. The Scarlet Letter
3. Through the Looking Glass

Oooo…this looks like fun! I’ll take a dare! I’m currently looking for short story ideas, so I’ll use a dare for that. 🙂
