@princessfoo It was Patty Bride from the Carolyn Wells Patty Fairfield series. The Patty series is one of my absolute favorite book series. 🙂 If you’re interested in reading the series you can get them free or for a couple of dollars on Kindle, or find most of them online at gutenberg.org and Google Books, because they’re now in the public domain.

@daeus Sort of. I basically took all of your advice and binge-fixed my book. XD So although I didn’t rewrite it, it has drastically improved.
*nods elvishly* I am forever in your debt.

@clairec I’m not sure what type of advice you’re looking for, so I’m going to dump it here. 😛
If you can make a way for people to follow you, do so. That will help so that people come back to your blog. And make the follow button easy to find. I doesn’t like it when I can’t find the follow button on blogs. Dragon Snapper no like. 😛

@rochellaine, actually yes, that might be good. I didn’t think “I hath returned” sounded right, but I couldn’t figure out why.

Thanks, @gh24682468999, that’s great advice! 🙂 Also, what @rochellaine said. Before you but it in the signature, I was copy and pasting every time I tagged you. Now, no problems!

@gh24682468999 Haha! It looks pretty scary at first, but the analyzation you have in your signature helped me memorize it pretty quickly. 😀

@dekreel No worries. 🙂 My family uses the KJV, so I’ve been immersed in correct “thee and thou” grammar for years. A lot of people use it as jokes, to make it sound more medieval or something, but an incorrect “thee” sentence is to me the same as “her and me could have went with they to the game if they’re mom might let them.” 😀
You said “I…[Read more]

@rochellaine I actually had no idea that you were talking about “thees and thous…”
HAHAHA! Well tell your brother that I appreciate it. X’D I was watching it on a TV channel, so I really had no choice whether I was getting a good one or not. But I’ll take note! XD
*high fives your brother because he also likes Data* X)

@princessfoo That’s one of the absolute worst things for me: when there’s this huge fight and if they had just let each other explain, there would be nothing wrong. I actually saw another Hallmark movie where the same thing happened. So far I’ve read one book where they did it right. When the guy was out of town and got an accidental let…[Read more]

@dekreel Oooh, that’s what I meant when I told someone here about using “thees and thous” ungrammatically. *cringes* please tell me that was a joke! 😀
Oh, cool! Glad you liked it. I actually haven’t seen that one, but I asked my brother about it and he said it’s not very good, so if you liked it you should definitely enjoy the better ep…[Read more]

I definitely will, but it might be a while before I get around to reading it! I know, all the weird heels and wigs and stuff, urgh!
I prefer reading to audiobooks, but I don’t really like ebooks, and I only read them if I absolutely have to. I spend so much time on the computer looking at screen for my writing that I like to give my…[Read more]

Ah yes, I’ve done that. I beta read one really good fantasy and I immediately wanted to a) curl up and cry (my favourite character died, of course), or b) write something like it and then cry because I never could.
I’ve only just started @dragon-snapper ‘s book (oops). But I’m liking it so far!

@seekjustice Cool! Tell me if you like it. At first I didn’t like part of it because she had the guy dress up in ruffles and face paint – and then I realized that she was just being realistic, because that’s how guys dressed in society back then. Boy am I glad I didn’t live in that period!
Yes, I’ve listened to one full Librivox book. 🙂 It wa…[Read more]

@seekjustice @rochellaine I hath returned!!
Rochellaine — I watched the TNG episode “Schisms,” the fifth episode of the sixth season. It was pretty good! I liked it. My favorite part was undoubtedly Data’s poetry. It was SO FUNNY! XD XD XD Have you seen that episode? He did this poem about his cat, Spot. X’D HAHAHAA ohh it was hi…[Read more]

The Scarlet Pimpernel is the only one of her books that’s widely known, but it’s probably my least favourite out of the three of her books I’ve read. I don’t even know if the rest of them are still in print.
I have a Heyer book out from the library at the moment, but I haven’t read it yet.
Yeah, there’s a lot of cool books on there…[Read more]

@dekreel Have fun! And definitely let me know! 🙂 Sorry I missed you. 🙁
@seekjustice No, I haven’t. I have tried to read some classics but I usually end up not liking them – Jane Austen, anyone? So if I hear the name of a book over and over the back of my mind puts it in the “don’t read” category. Whoops! 🙂 But I’ll try it and see, and…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Oh well. 🙂 Actually 77 Sunset Strip is a tv show from I think 1958-1962. It’s about two private detectives, so as far as rating goes, I’d put it with Star Trek: pretty clean, and good plots, but some violence. (Star Trek has some mild cursing, though, which I don’t think 77SS has – and that’s a plus.) It’s usually very hard to fin…[Read more]
