@bluejay – Sure, I’ll join!
@ClaireC – Me too. I’m not giving up, though! 🙂

@Daeus – I haven’t been able to keep up, and I just realized that doing the Bible Challenge means I won’t be able to do this for a little while. I’m not sure when I’ll join back in. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to contribute more to this discussion.

@ClaireC – I’m sorry I’m so late. Wait, do you live in Australia? I think I’m a day ahead of you, because when you asked me to do the 24th with you, here it was already the night of the 24th. I’m not sure how that works, but I’m going to do it tomorrow if you want to do it with me.
If you like, I’ll keep you accountable to your 2 1/2 hours and…[Read more]

I’m in! Is anyone else going to do it today? Also, speaking of accountability, I’ve recently committed to spend 2 1/2 hours a day alone with God, reading the Bible, and I missed it yesterday. If anybody wants to help me stay accountable to that, I’d appreciate it. 🙂

@Writefury and @Kate-Flournoy, I’m so sorry I missed your replies. I’ve been at summer camp. Thank you for outlining the episodes for me.

@Daeus — Okay, never mind then. I was tired last night. 🙂

Okay, never mind then. I was tired last night. 🙂

Since we are seeing Miss Morton through Watson’s eyes, even if she did have some small weakness he (and therefore, we) would probably be blind to it since he’s in love with her.

@bluejay– That sounds like fun. Where I am, it’s over 100 degrees. 🙂
@overcomer – I’ve only written a long short story, but what I learned probably applies to a novel, too. With my story, I had the basic outline in my head, so I sat down and tried to write it in order, starting from the beginning. I kept getting stuck on little things though,…[Read more]

If you’re capitalizing the pronouns of the Father and the Holy Spirit, then I think your readers might be a little confused if you don’t capitalize the Prince’s. And even though Jesus was human, He was also God at the same time, so I don’t think capitalizing them will compromise your message. But you know what will fit your story best; that’s just…[Read more]

I think it would be neat if you capitalized it. There’s nothing cheesy about that (in my humble opinion, anyway 🙂 ).

@Daeus As I was reading your comment about Holmes being a “cold, hard logician”, it occurred to me that through the series he often complains about life being dull and miserable, and maybe the author did that on purpose to show the result of being completely logical and emotionless. Holmes is brilliant, but he is a very unhappy person. I don’t…[Read more]

Hmm…I think I’d like to tackle number 4 and the bonus question. Watson’s attraction to Mary is definitely significant, because it adds a very interesting twist to the climax. I won’t say how, since we aren’t there yet.
Why did Holmes suggest Martyrdom of Man? I’m not sure. It was a very controversial book at the time, so maybe the author was…[Read more]

@Kate-Flournoy
Oh, I had forgotten about the discipline aspect. *shudders* Thanks for the warning. Fire Ships sounds intriguing. I’ll ask my parents to check that one out. Thank you for the recommendation. 🙂

If you like Answers in Genesis, I bet you would like Jonathan Park. Most of the episodes are about Creation Science, and the storyline and adventure are amazing. They are sadly expensive, though. 🙁

@Kate-Flournoy — Thanks! Immorality and bad language are what my parents are most concerned about for him, so they will definitely have to screen it. I thought it was one movie, but it sounds like there’s a series. Is there an episode that you especially recommend?

@writefury – I was wondering if my little brother would enjoy the Horatio Hornblower movie, since he loves Master and Commander, Henty and anything else to do with England and the sea. Is it a movie you would recommend for a 14-year-old? Thanks. 🙂

Hi, Faith! I can’t say that I completely agree, but I do see what you mean. And please don’t feel bad about bringing up an old topic; it was a while ago, and not many people saw it. 🙂
