@daeus Consider me properly inspired…after I get the next several books on my tbr list done. But you and @Kate-flournoy have talked about it so much that I want to read it. Also, I saw the movie. Which I really liked, though I could tell things were sped up even though it didn’t seem rushed. Have you seen the movie, Daeus?

Welcome, @anne-swiftblade. I love your username…swiftblade. That conjures up a number of cool pictures. 😉

Lord of the Rings. YES! Me too.

Fantasy. Another YES! What are you working on right now?

@Daeus with you all the way.

Oh wow @Daeus, really… I’m glad I asked. Here’s my question though. How can the author who wrote Les Miserables write anything either soulless or themeless????? How is that even physically possible?? Grrrrrr… classical authors are so contradictory. 🙁

Yes @Christi-Eaton, Les Mis is definitely one of my favorites. But… uh… Madame…[Read more]

Greetings, @theliterarycrusader! I have a MC who is an INFJ. I’m a INTJ myself…a type that is pretty rare among women (0.8%). I’ve read most, if not all of Chuck Black’s works too. I enjoyed The War of the Realm trilogy. The idea was very interesting even if the writing isn’t the best. 🙂

@aella my username is Hope Ann.

@Daeus, you can set up your account any time. You don’t have to wait until November.

@kate-flournoy No, I’ve not read The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I’ve not read Les Miserables either, though my sister has… Right now I want to get my hands on The Count of Monte Cristo and read that sometime this fall/winter.

Hey guys, has anyone on here read The Hunchback of Notre Dame, by Victor Hugo? I haven’t, but I’m loving Les Miserables to BITS and I’ve been wanting to read it. I thought I’d get others’ opinions before I do, though, because unfortunately I’ve learned that classical authors can write inspiring masterpieces AND complete junk. :/

@aella I will fight alongside the rest of you! *straps on sword* *checks on daggers and bow* I’ve never done NaNoWriMo, though I have done some of the camps. But I do want to this year. I’m going to be writing a novella and a prequel to the novella, so I’m thinking around 45,000 words. I’m planning on planning and outlining the story in September…[Read more]

@Daeus flipping through old topics and I just thought I’d drop you a line and let you know your argument makes more sense than mine looking back. I agree. 🙂 Duty is ours, consequence is God’s, and better to follow what the Bible commands than what it possibly does not condemn. ‘Preciate you being patient and gracious through the intricacies of…[Read more]

@Aella I would love to do (or at least try) NaNo someday, ‘but today is not that day!’ (Since we’re going with battle speeches here. *wink*) Mainly, life is too busy for that at this point. I wish you all luck though. 😀

@his-instrument That is so neat! I’ll have to watch for that the next time I watch the movie. 🙂

@His-Instrument I’ll try to do this as much as I can because it’s fascinating and I love this kind of stuff, but I have to tell you I probably won’t be able to do it all at all times because we’re just getting back into school, AND getting ready for a family vacation out west. I’ll chime in whenever I can, but that mightn’t be frequently.…[Read more]

Sorry @Daeus your tag notification didn’t come through. :/ But, I got 1,025 written so I’m very happy.

And thank you. Always appreciated. 😉

@Daeus me. See ya.

Great topic @His-Instrument! I haven’t read John in a while, but I do remember he did a great job of sticking to his ‘theme’— Jesus as the Son of God. All the ‘proof’, if you will, of Christ being the Messiah. John chose the stories (plot threads 😀 ) that illustrated and played into his chosen theme, though he acknowledged that there was so…[Read more]

Hey, has anyone ever had a little sibling say something completely obvious yet hilariously funny at the same time? Last night we were reading about Jacob and Esau, and tonight Mom asked the little ones if they remembered what the brothers had been fighting over. Without missing a blink, and totally serious, five-year-old Samantha replied ‘Soup’.

Or maybe fight with real weapons…like in Percy Jackson? They have some pretty intense games of capture the flag there. @Jada-morrison’s idea is good too. Perhaps they have to capture a person. Or perhaps one team member on the opposite is a spy and no one on either side know who it is so everyone is sending out spies and making alliances. And…[Read more]
