@r-j-wordsmith @overcomer Well, I’m done for now. I planned out that short story, so I am satisfied now that I know what happens, beginning, middle and end. Thanks!

@northerner @winter-rose @perfect-fifths @daeus @kate-flournoy @overcomer @ethryndal @his-instrument @graciegirl @r-j-wordsmith @jess @Audrey-caylin I’ll be doing some sort of writing thing…again. Maybe finish up the story, or at least get partway through. 😛

@overcomer @daeus @kate-flournoy @Audrey-caylin @jess @winter-rose @graciegirl @r-j-wordsmith @northerner @ethryndal @jane-maree @perfect-fifths I’ll be doing some editing and perhaps some normal writing. Maybe planning. Probably editing. Who knows?

@overcomer That seems to hit the big themes of Magician’s Nephew very well. Nice work!

Thank you! That sounds like a pretty great idea. -

Hey, I’d like to start building up my summer reading list! Going on a looonnggg vacation and need a few recommendations. So: good books? I like fantasy and the like, not a big fan of romance or horror novels. @graciegirl @overcomer @r-j-wordsmith @Rachelle @Dragon-Snapper @northerner @perfectfifths @Ethryndal @Brandon-Miller @the-bean @Julia-R @Gid…[Read more]

@overcomer @winter-rose, I’m afraid I shall have to leave the Jedi Writing Order for now. May the writing power be with you!!! 😛
And I finished writing the rough draft of my (short) essay, so I’m pleased. 🙂

@r-j-wordsmith @overcomer I’m going to be editing for about an hour. Maybe more.

Hello, @R-J-Wordsmith, and unfortunately, farewell, for I must leave now. @Overcomer, @Jess, thanks for writing, fellow Jedi, and may the Force be with your pen! 😀

Jess replied to the topic Writer's Corner #4 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@overcomer, @ethryndal, @r-j-wordsmith, I have to leave now. It’s been a pleasure writing with you. (Better than writing by myself) I wrote an ode and analyzed most of the poems that are due, so I am really pleased. 🙂

@Overcomer Good for you and hurry back! We need our Writing Master. 🙂
@Jess Isn’t that weird? When one is writing of one’s own accord, it’s great, but the moment one has to write something, it no longer works.

Jess replied to the topic Writer's Corner #4 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@overcomer See you soon. 🙂 I’ll be here, plodding along on this poetry. (I normally like poetry, but when I have to do it for school, it’s a different story)

Jess replied to the topic Writer's Corner #4 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@ethryndal, lol Just write, even if it’s terrible. 😉
@overcomer, I’m writing poetry and an essay for school, so I guess I’ll join in. (Although it’s not as fun as writing something of my own volition 😛 ) - Load More
Ooh ooh what about Tales of Goldstone Wood series by Anne Elizabeth Stengl. I really love the ones I’ve read of that and they’re really beautiful fantasy and allegory-ish too. Super well written.
The Youngest Templar Trilogy by Michael Spradlin (not this @spradlin)
The Black Arrow by Robert Louis Stevenson
All of the Ranger’s Apprentice books by John Flanagan (unless, of course, you’ve read those)
The Brotherband Chronicles by John Flanagan
In Search of Honor by Donnalynn Hess
The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin
The Hero’s Guide to Saving…[Read more]
@dragon-snapper LOL. Ironically enough, my favorite genre to write is medieval fantasy.
@spradlin Haha! That is too funny!
The Space trilogy by Paul Regnier and A Time to Die trilogy by Nadine Brandes.
And another thought that I just had would be: Orphan’s Song (Gillian Bronte Adams), or A Wish Made of Glass (Ashlee Willis) – both fantasy. 🙂
Pendragon’s Heir by Suzannah Rowntree. Arthurian legend and historical fantasy plus time-travel. Also a great book in its own right. Be prepared for an authour who asks hard moral questions and doesn’t give easy answers. Has a bit of romance but even I (who can’t talk about romance at all without getting snarky) liked it.
I’ve got too many recommendations.
Ilyon Chronicles by Jaye L. Knight
Blades of Acktar series by Tricia Mingerink.
Finding Angel by Kat Heckenbach
Tales of Taelis series by Sarah Holman
Annabeth’s War and Captive of Raven Castle by Jessica Greyson.
The Gammage Cup, by Carol Kendall
I just finished reading that a couple weeks ago, and can’t stop raving about it. Fantasy. No romance. No horror. Just a lovely, light read.
Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. More of a sci-fi than a fantasy, but it’s a must read. I recommend it to everyone.
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard is fantastic, though if you get it you should probably get the sequel alongside it and spare yourself the suspense.
If you’ve never read Little Men (yes: men. not women) by Lousia May Alcott you need…[Read more]
Patrick W. Carr’s “The Staff and the Sword” trilogy was a really refreshing fantasy to me. =) Also “The Scarlet Pimpernel” (not fantasy) was really good.
Can’t wait to check some of these out!!! I will have lots to read this summer! Thanks, everyone! Oh, and I have read Johnny Tremain, but it’s been a *few* years, so thanks for mentioning it! I think I’ll go to my bookshelf and re-read it now!
I’m in the middle of reading Virals by Kathy Rieches (the original mind behind BONES)… it’s so, so good! I highly recommend it. Just throwing that out there in case you’re still needing some more reading material. 😉
