Audio books are fine with me.

Grr, this is hard!

1. A Tale of Two Cities (because it has one of my single most favorite characters in it of all time, and an awesome character arc, and history, and I think every writer should read it!)
2. The Hobbit
3. The Story Girl

You could add War Horse later on. It’s a good one.

I like the Story Girl, by L. M. Montgomery, The Choosing by Rachelle Dekker, Cloak of the Light by Chuck Black, A Tale of Two Cities by Dickens, The Robot Wars (They’re kinda young, but a cool and fun to read Christian sci fi series) I could go on … and on … and think of more books … (An Old Fashioned Girl is good:)

Oh, and Ivanhoe is a…[Read more]

The only book I can think of right now is The Count of Monte Cristo. I haven’t read it yet, but I really really want to.

@Daeus — Ooh, I’d love to be part of this! Only thing is, I won’t be able to participate in any of the discussions on fantasy-type books, but if that’s okay… I’ll participate in as many others as I can to make up for it. 🙂

What sort of age range are we thinking, @daeus ? Because I can think of lots of very different books. It might help to narrow them down a bit.

Awesome! Excuse me while I push the button on my vortex manipulator…

I have been summoned! Hurray! A whole new party! I love parties! *Runs out of exclamations and pouts for a second to think of some more* Me! Me! Me! Whatever it is, I’m in! Seriously, though, a book club sounds fantastic. What do I do, @daeus ? 😮

Some houses have little swinging cat doors as part of the back door. You could have the family forget to latch it, or maybe, if they just moved in, they are unaware that the door exists.

Does that help?

I wish, @daeus . Fiction would be easier! No, I’m writing something informational for a website. I’ve never really done anything like this before, so I’m a bit intimidated by it. :/

Golly, all of y’alls’ projects sound way more fun than mine! @kate-flournoy , @rolena-hatfield

What’s everybody working on now? I’m tackling a new Nemesis with flagging zeal …

My sentiments exactly, @hope ! 🙂

That is very interesting, @kate-flournoy , and a good point as well. Romance should actually advance the plot and add to the story but it needn’t do so in a way that is over obvious.

There was a romance in a movie I saw once that failed to really advance the plot or add to the story. The movie needed to have either more romance or have none in…[Read more]

That is important to remember, @bluejay . Everybody is different, which is something I need to remind myself when it comes to romance because not every guy is going to be charmingly eloquent about his feelings. (Sometimes my writing can be too poetic …)

Some say so much more by saying hardly anything at all, and still others speak for…[Read more]

That’s a good point, @daeus . I agree with you there.

I have one story idea for a romance, and I’ve got characters, some dialogue, plot twists, even a portion of the ending figured out, but the theme is missing. Why does it all happen? What is the inciting event that reveals the heart of my story, the “big Why” that gives purpose to all of…[Read more]
