Haaaaaaaa… The Floating Log. 😉

What if there were things in the mist— illusions— that tried to get them off the path? Like the voice of a child crying for help, or the screams of a woman in distress, or a weeping baby? Things that would appeal to their heart and make them jump out to save something without thinking, but in the end are not really there.

You probably don’t want to know. 😛

The Wailing Wombat.

The Dangling Snake.

The Boat and Bulrush. (I’ve used that one already).

The Fish and Lilypad.

The Lobster and Limpet.

Ooh… I like that one. Makes me wonder where it got its name. 🙂

Ha! The Howling Frog! Love it. So fun. 😀

I like The Screaming Falcon, too, @Hope. Nice and dramatic. I like both the funny and the sophisticated ones. Once I used ‘The Leaf and Thorn’ when I didn’t want to go for the humorous twist.

Great job, both of you. All of those would definitely qualify as inn names.

The Dog and Partridge (didn’t make…[Read more]

Ugh… lucky you.

Thank you so much for taking the time to critique my poem, Daeus! I really like your suggestions. 🙂

@Hope Yes! The end of Mockingjay was very sad…and depressing.

@kate-flournoy I know right! It’s so sad… 🙁

I like that, Hope! 😛

Criticize it!? It’s perfect!

All the more so because… I can do that. 😛

@dbhgodreigns— yes, I know, it’s awful. I used to fret that my novels weren’t long enough, when I’d first started, and now I fret that they’re too long and no one will want to read them. 😛

It seems to be impossible to strike some middle ground.

@Greta-D yes! Where the Red Fern Grows makes me bawl as well. And Old Yeller, though not in the same way.

I usually don’t cry during books, but I cried during Allegiant (I was literally bawling) and Where the Red Fern Grows (and I was bawling again 🙂 ). And I started tearing up reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and The Seven Sleeper Series.

Thanks, @hislittlerose. Sounds really neat. My schedule would not allow me to participate, but it sounds like something I would otherwise love to do.

And yes, I do like to write a lot. 😛 My WIP is currently 291,874 words in length. I’m going to be trimming a lot, but I may also add some stuff, so it’s anyone’s guess as to where it will end up. 😀

Thanks, @hislittlerose! I definitely see what you’re saying. 🙂

Yeah. Okay. I like that. We could do that— the piece of cloth. So does he lose it or give it up?

@Hope— he changes as far as I know. 😛

So here’s a question. What makes him change? Is it Alex? If so, how?

@Ivy: Yes, it’s so sad when you forget it. :'(

You know you’re a writer when you get very emotional about killing off one of your characters.
