@Daeus Okay, here are my votes.
1. Sign of Four
2. Abandoned
3. The Scarlet Letter

@winter-rose Challenge accepted. I will probably end up using one of your dares in a short story, as neither of them would work well in my WIP. 😉

I dare you to write a scene from the perspective of a two-month-old toddler who suddenly finds him or herself having to make a terrible decision (you decide what it is). Pretty random, I know. :P…[Read more]

I’ll take a dare. My novel is a fantasy, but I might use the dares in a short story, if it works better. 🙂

Wow, so sorry I missed the last discussion for Animal Farm, guys… Life has been really hectic lately and I don’t find much time on my hands right now. 🙁 So if I don’t participate much for the next few books, that’s why (Lame excuse, I know).

Suggestions huh? Let’s see… Abandoned by Jeri Massi, Dessert Dog by Jim Kjelgaard… That’s all I can…[Read more]

Sorry I haven’t been on, peoples. I think I will sit these out for now, although The Hobbit sounds like a great book to read for the 5th time. For me that is…

@Timothy-Young, Very neat! I’ve only read one Henty, and I liked it, but I’ve never gotten around to reading any others. 🙂 Hmm, I’ve heard of the Scarlet Pimpernel, but I’ve never read it. I’ll have to look into that. 😉

Thanks for tagging me @Daeus! Life got busy (surprise, surprise), and I forgot about the book club. *gasp* I really enjoyed Animal Farm.
@kate-flournoy Sorry, I had to butt in on this conversation. I’ve never read Les Mis, but the music… I’m kind of obsessed. 😉 😛 Les Mis is my all-time FAVORITE musical!!! The music is just so amazing.…[Read more]

@his-instrument *blows out breath* Oh, man. I don’t think you always have to use the same POV in every novel in a series. But I don’t see a reason why you wouldn’t…if that makes sense. I think using the same POV in a series of novels makes the series more cohesive.
I agree with you about first person, by the way. It’s always been easier for…[Read more]

@his-instrument
Great questions…
I think before I attempt to answer the first one, I need to know: would the stories be told from the same character’s point of view throughout the whole series? Or would you have the first book in third person told from character 1’s point of view, and the next book told in first person from character 2’s point…[Read more]

@Bluejay Wonderful job! Making your readers cry is quite a feat. 😉 I’ve only accomplished it a couple times, myself. It’s so hard because sometimes, when you think you’re writing something moving, sometimes the reader will get a different impression…like thinking something is funny, when it wasn’t meant to be. *sigh*

Hey @timothy-young! I’ve always wanted to visit Africa. It’s such an exotic place… someday I’m going there. 😉 Glad to have you on the forum!

@Timothy-Young, Welcome to Kingdom Pen! Glad to have you on the forum. 🙂
I’m another homeschooler! *high fives all around*
That’s awesome that you and your family are missionaries.
What is your favorite genre to read and to write?

@Hope I really like Crowned Powerless. I don’t know; it just sounds fierce and final. 😉 And I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing if you have a title that is the same as another book’s title. As long as it fits the story. 🙂
