The fledgling Artist

@seekjustice Yeah, well I like the “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” reprise, (with Maria,) even though the first one is kind of annoying.  It’s not supposed to be a great song, anyway, because the movie makes it obvious that Liesl was too young and she didn’t know what she was doing.  Still, my sister and I sometimes sing it as a joke, just so we c…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I’ve never heard of Ingramspark, but I’ve printed my books with two different sites, Diggypod and Lulu, and out of those two Lulu is much the better!  On Lulu they allow you to order a single sample copy to make sure the formatting and cover are all correct before you order your full shipment of books.

On Lulu also, you can set it…[Read more]

@alia  I went ahead and did Mitch as well…hope you like him!

@seekjustice I will definitely be praying for you!

@alia  I drew Joy for ya.  She’s a cutie.  🙂  🙂

@jenwriter17 I’m not sure, but I might be.  I’m helping my dad out with a business presentation this evening, and I don’t know whether I’ll be on tonight after that or not.  If I am I’ll let you know, and go ahead and tag me when you do get on in case. 🙂

@ariel-ashira @alia @skredder @jenwriter17 @catwing Hi, I’m writing!  Will anyone join me?

@seekjustice There are a couple of songs that could be left out without ruining the plot, I agree.  However, the majority of the songs are actually very important to the plot, in my opinion. 🙂  Let’s see…

• The nuns’ chants you will find in any non-musical movie that includes nuns or monks.  That’s their way of life, so if the songs were le…

@valtmy Good!! 😀

@ingridrd 😀 😀 oh, that is so funny!  Yeah, I dont think of myself having an accent, but I guess everyone has some sort of accent.

@daughteroftheking  Hahahaha…this is great!  You were a creative child.  😉

@ariel-ashira  LOL

I visited England two summers ago and it was so funny because we met a British family and their youngest child liked imitating American accents!  It’s so weird to think we have accents too!

@seekjustice  I am indeed.  🙂

@daughteroftheking  *many thumbs up*  Thank you!

@seekjustice Oh, I am not worrying at all.  That sounds just about like how we Americans make fun of Australia. 😛

But how could you make fun of our accents when its yours that are so funny?  ;D

@alia Trying to make me feel better? haha. 😛  Oh well, if I could actually think of things to write I could write the posts pretty easily.  It’s coming up with topics that’s hard.  I guess I’ll learn once I get more used to it.

Okay, happy writing!  I’ve got to get going and go get myself gone. 😛  It’s late.  (It must be late, if I’m feeli…[Read more]

@alia Unfortunately, no.  I am not having an easier time. 🙁  My novel and short stories have not progressed more than a few inches down the page over the past few days.  I have great plans for them, however… 😛

By the way, how is it even possible to write two blog posts and start three more in a day?!  I feel happy if I figure out how to wri…[Read more]

@alia The barn raising scene is amazing, of course!  It’s really funny, especially the expressions on the brothers’ faces, but the acrobatics are so cool!  For lyrical songs I actually like the more upbeat ones, because they’re funnier. 😉  Sobbin’ Women, Bless Yore Beautiful Hide, and Goin’ Courtin are probably my favorites, but I do like Wo…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Well, apparently she likes Edelweiss, but nothing else.  She says they’re boring.  The reason, I believe, is that she likes songs from which she can tell the plot as they’re singing.  Songs like in opera, where the people sing, “We must go and kill the king,” instead of, “isn’t it fun to always sing.” 😛

I like songs that you can si…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Well, she doesn’t like the Sound of Music songs. 😮 So she has a different type of musical taste than I do. 🙂  I don’t like Annie Get Your Gun because the story is so inaccurate compared to the real Annie Oakley…but I’m actually a hypocrite, since I like a different Annie Oakley movie which is also historically inaccurate.  I l…[Read more]
