If you had not tagged me and I’d missed the opportunity you’d have been in serious trouble.

@Daeus yes!

@that_writer_girl_99 I agree with @daeus that the English longbowmen were amazing.  This is my favorite description of a demonstration of the use of the longbow.

It is from a book by G. A. Henty called By Right of Conquest (About the conquests of Cortez) and is in the public domain, so I copied it from gutenberg.org to a google document.  An Eng…[Read more]

@bella-d And I’m thrilled you’re thrilled I know who those authors are! 🙂 Do you like Jeanne d’Albret because of reading the Chosen Daughters series?  My favorite in that series was Margaret Wilson in Against The Tide.

Have you read any books by Lois Walfrid Johnson, Robert Elmer, or R. M. Ballantyne?

@notawriter and @daeus Thanks!  My bra…[Read more]

@mnvalentine  You like Les Mis? AWESOME! I like it, too! Although I’m only halfway through the book so far. I’m really enjoying it 😉

@emma-flournoy, I found another Les Mis fan for you! ;-P

@itisastarrynight *looks in awe of raspberry sunshine*

@inklingforchrist Good question. I honestly don’t know. Every time I start a novel, it’s a big fear of mine that it’s not going to be very long at all. But even if your novels are short, it’s okay. My only suggestion for making books longer is adding in more conflict between characters and…[Read more]

@winter-rose Yep. I’m still lovin’ that GIF. XD

@ethryndal Perfect GIF. 😛  I’m surprised though, you didn’t use Galadriel. 😛 😉

@jenwriter17 The chair melting thing is basically what I do when I’m not happy with something. It’s my forum ‘signature’. 😉

@emma-flournoy Thankee.

@itisastarrynight For me, simple observing has been the best. I’ve actually been observing for a year and  half now. O.O Woah… that long, self? Weird.

@rochellaine I really enjoyed the Dragon one, but the Giant one was definitely…unique. And the last one made no sense at all, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t meant to 😀

@bella-d Welcome to Kingdom Pen! I’m a historical fiction lover and writer too. I’m currently obsessed with the French revolution and have just read The Scarlet Pimpernel, A Tale of Two Cities, etc, lately.

I love Elisabeth Elliot’s books too! Which is your favourite?

@That_writer_girl_99 I finally just saw this, and realized that you tagged me right from the get-go. For some reason, I didn’t get the notification. *kicks technology*

But This. Is. COOL! If I can ever get any of the tid-bits I’ve learned organized properly, I will definitely return.

@Skredder First off, hi! I don’t think we’ve met.

And second, YES, the Persian technique is really cool. I actually forgot about that. (Though I do disagree about only being able to hold a drawn bow for eight seconds. I know a girl who shoots with a standard recurve, and she says she’s able to hold it fully drawn for at least a minute.)

And @That…[Read more]

@Graciegirl Well of COURSE we all missed you. You did come up with our favorite expression, after all. 😉

And YES to everything you said about The Last Jedi. The Praetorian Guards (yep, that’s what they’re called) and the Force Connection thing… Those two moments were my favorites as well. So much interesting development with Kylo, oh my…[Read more]

@dragon-Snapper WOOT!!! That’s fantastic! *rains glitter from the ceiling**random chair falls**phones get dumped by the bucket-load* Good grief, three books already? Sheesh, kid, you’re making the rest of us look bad. (Namely, me… 😀 )

@That_writer_girl_99 Ah. Ah ha ha. Hmm. Keep in mind that while I do own a long-sword, a short-sword, and a compound bow, I wouldn’t exactly consider myself a master at using any of them. (Particularly the bow, because when one lives in an urban area, there’s no SPACE.) But while I do lack actual EXPERIENCE, I have researched the subject of…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper Very cool blog. I love your style.

@GracieGirl HEY! YOU’RE BACK! Yayyy!! Has your life settled down a little? Have you been able to do any writing?

Trust me, we really did miss you (though I haven’t been on here just tons lately so I didn’t suffer from it as much as some people probably did. ;P ). *serious nod* Good to have ya back.

@Dekreel Those are great. XD

The Mysterious Benedict Society trilogy, by Trenton Lee Stewart

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell

A Tale of Two Cities by Dickens (though that and the previous might be a little slow if you’re looking for action. But then again, if you’re reading something like Les Mis, you might not mind. 😀 They’re great.)

Mistborn trilogy by…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper That’s WONDERFUL! D’ye get to edit it now, or are you working on something else?

Just so you know, the title Sector One is very cool.
