Blue and yellow striped dragon sounds familiar but I can’t think what series that is.

I’ve read parts of both the Kingdom series and The Seven Sleepers but I didn’t particularly like either of them 😛

I love Riverdance. I have the CD and I really enjoyed it when my dance teacher and her niece (who was the one giving the Irish…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Ah, fair enough. Those sort of things don’t bother me as much so I guess I’d never noticed it.

What about Edith Nesbitt?

I like watching Irish dancing. I took semi-official classes last year and it was really, really hard. I also like listening to the music.

Though I’ve only seen modern Irish and I haven’t seen any older stuff.

@rochellaine

Alcott never struck me as particularly feminist. What makes you say that?

Have you ever read any Rosemary Sutcliff? I’m not sure whether you’d like them or not, but I love her stories.

I don’t know imagine you’d like many of the myriad of fantasy stories I consume. Or most of Charles Dickens. Have you ever read Elizabeth Gaskall?…[Read more]

@rochellaine

You didn’t tag me so I didn’t realise you responded till just then.

I have explained before that I was never much into girl books. And while I liked Anne of Green Gables, I never adored it.

Mary thinks Dickon is magic, but as far as I know there’s no charms, I’m almost at the end.

I love Little Women! It’s one of my favourite…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate  I am ashamed. . . *cowers*

Heheh, be glad to. *smirks*

The Writerly Adventures of Jenna Trapperton

Basically it’s like a roleplay, except KP instead of The Aetherlight. I (SPOILER ALERT) gave the KP Aetherlighters an appearance, too, so. . . ya.

I’m sure your servant was honored to have his photo taken and displayed for all…[Read more]

@rochellaine Well, when/if we get the group started, we’ll always have a spot for you if you choose to join. 😉 <3

@xonos-darkgrate  In my excitement, I hadn’t considered that. How silly of me. . . 😛

Hey, I’m glad I’m not the only one with virtually billions of unfinished story blurbs! Those drive me nuts. . . Pretty much the only thing I’ve ever finished so far is the KPA (which if you haven’t read yet, I think you oughta. . .).

@xonos-darkgrate

*paws on hips*

WELL IT’S ABOUT TIME! Welcome back to the bestest place in Cyberspace, dude!! 😀 😀

I am seeing your face. I am freaking out. . . o.o Apologies, it’s just. . . Whoa.  Anyway, great to have you back!!

@rochellaine I sure am! 😉 I’m not sure when exactly the group would be formed though. I’m still researching how critique groups are run, how online groups meets, familiarizing myself with Google hangouts, etc. Did you have any advice?

@rochellaine

I read–or rather my mum read to me–Heidi many years ago. I don’t remember being particularly impressed by it and I kind of lumped it under Pollyanna/Anne of Green Gables/Elsie Dinsmore/What Katy Did and all the other girl books I didn’t like, but I should definitely try it again.

And yes, I’m currently reading it. (and referring…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Ah, my new favourite at the moment is The Secret Garden.

@xonos-darkgrate Writer’s Corner is a free-for-all where we fangirl(boy) over things and argue quite a lot, usually over topics that have nothing to do with writing.

@rochellaine

That’s good. Well, I’m not writing anything yet…but hopefully I will be soon.

@rochellaine Heeelloo!

Sorry I didn’t talk much over the weekend. I was crazily busy.

@xonos-darkgrate

Welcome back! I remember you, but I’m not sure that you would remember me.

@ariel-ashira Everyone’s answers were good, but what Seekjustice said is true. We can give you a bunch of tips and our opinions, but really it’s a matter for your conscience and personal prayer. I hope the answer comes to you soon! 🙂

@warrenluther04  Haha, I totally understand. Okay, that’s good! Hope you get everything figured out!  😉

@ariel-ashira

I honestly think this is a matter for your conscience. Some Christians feel comfortable writing/reading books with swearing, others don’t. I personally choose not to add in curse words because I just don’t see the point. I think it also depends on who you’re writing for. Middle grade, for example, I don’t think should ever have…[Read more]

@catwing  Are you still working on Catwing Christmas these days? 🙂

@warrenluther04  Soooooooo. . . Are you going to continue writing Dog in KP?

@ariel-ashira  Xonos Darkgrate once made a topic about swear words. Maybe it has what you’re looking for, maybe not. . . See how it works for you! 🙂
