Yeah, those characters are really fun to write; I just get really annoyed with her in the story. 😛 @kate-flournoy

Ah, but those characters are so fun to write, @gretald!

If you’ve ever started for one portion of the house with a vague idea that you were supposed to be getting a snack, then half an hour later looked up to find yourself on the complete opposite side of the house with a monkey wrench, a bag of cheese, and the laundry-basket… and you’re like “Huh? How did I just—?”…

… you know you’re a…[Read more]

Cool @rolena-hatfield! I love the name Miret. 🙂

Thanks! Madam Munch really is quite the character, and she is a bit like a mouse @kate-flournoy. 😛 She’s one of those characters who’s supposed to get you really annoyed, so I’d say she’s probably one of my least favorite characters in the novel.

@kate-flournoy – I love it when Anna recites, but I also like in the 2nd one when Emiline reads it aloud in class. And when she acts in Mary, Queen of Scots too. 😀
But my favourite part in the movie is with the fireworks. We once had a pet lamb in the house (with a nappy on :P) and she had fallen asleep at our feet while we were watching it and…[Read more]

@rolena-hatfield – I have not read the highwayman but I’ve heard Anne recite it. It sounds a very moving poem. We have number 3 but I haven’t watched it yet. I can’t wait though.
I sometimes think I’m very much like Anne (with an E 😀 ). A writer, an actress (and very Dramatic) and I’m always (at least when I was younger than I am now) in…[Read more]

Yes @rolena-hatfield and @bluejay! I love those movies, and yes, I have read the Highwayman. Lovely— the rhythm for that one is absolutely… splendiferous.

Ah… to hear Anne reciting The Lady of Shalott… drama. Pure drama.

Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
little breezes dusk and shiver,
thro’ the wave that runs for ever,
by the island in…[Read more]

She sounds like a mouse. 😉 😀

@kate-flournoy – Have you ever seen Anne of Green Gables number one or two? In that movie she repeats from the Lady of Shalott all the time. “Willows whiten, aspens shiver, little breezes dance and shiver.” Or something like that. I have never actually read the entire thing but what is used in Anne is so good. Like the time she nearly drowned…[Read more]

Oh boy, *hyperventilates excitedly* I know a poem you can read! ‘Specially if you love drama— for drama, and for reading aloud, this is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE POEM. The Lady of Shalott.

It’s almost more like a saga than a poem, but I give myself chills reading this aloud. 😛

@daeus and @kate-flournoy – You have made me laugh so hard. 😀
Thanks @kate-flournoy for your suggestion. I’ll have a look at changing it.
As to poetry…hmmmmm…I’m actually not one to read poetry. I can never find the rhythm in them. But maybe I should try… 🙂
And cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg *yummy* add stewed apples and cream and voila, magnificent. 😀

Thanks @kate-flournoy 🙂

Ooo, Arianwen is a great name!

Love the villain’s name, @gretald— simple, yet the name itself has character. 😀

I had to smile too when I saw the name for your MC, ’cause I have an MC right now whose name is very similar. Arianwen. 🙂

@aella— sorry, forgot to tag you. 😀

Hey Hannah! Glad you dropped by again! 🙂 Those are really cool names— I especially like Hirrador Chardragon and Terrowin. Let me guess— fantasy? 😉

Actually @Ivy-Rose I’ve never counted— I probably should. 😛

But it depends very heavily— sometimes I can’t even break past a thousand in one night, but last night, which was a fairly good night, I got 1,670. Saturdays I usually get a whole chapter down— and my chapters are really long. Like, 4,635 words. *cringe* I know. I need to trim my…[Read more]
