@mark-kamibaya Yay! You got it. It’s from Davy Crockett when Major Norton is trying to find him and Davy’s in the middle of grinning down a bear. The Major wrecks his concentration and he had to kill the bear the old fashioned way. 🙂

@zoe-wingfeather @anne-of-lothlorien @christi-eaton
YES, THE WINGFEATHER SAGA!!!!!!!!! Janner’s death is so moving but so, so, SO devastating. I actually (*ahem*) read ahead by accident (it’s a bad habit) and found out that Janner died, but even knowing beforehand didn’t prepare me for it. I cried so hard. Janner comes back, right? I mean, he…[Read more] -

XD Haha @perfectfifths. Glad it makes sense. *gasp* I certainly wasn’t telling @sarah-h that she had spoiled things. Of course she did use a pretty good quote. 🙂

BlueJay replied to the topic Quote That in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 9 months ago
Is there a quote now, or is someone still thinking of one?
@perfectfifths Yes there is. It’s below. 🙂
You sure spoiled things good. Now I gotta do it the old fashioned way.

@Sarah-H Okay; probably not, if they’re people who like deep things. I don’t think that age would be too young for hearing Les Mis, as long as they’re pretty mature. But I think that Les Mis wouldn’t be the best book for reading aloud anyway, no matter the age of your audience. Parts of it, while not necessarily bad (though a little too detailed…[Read more]

@Daeus Well, if the incentive directly related to your work would be an audio of the same book I’d read from you, and not another work of yours or something different but having to do with your book, I’d probably stick to what I first said. The classic would motivate me more (well, obviously depending on what it was. 😛 But most classics to me are…[Read more]

@Sarah-H Well…no, I don’t think so. It’s too deep; also too grown up in some content. Littler kids wouldn’t understand (or need to hear) a lot of it, and I don’t think it would hold their attention well either.

Just here to reinforce (with reinforcements of colossal import, mind you) any other Les Miserables recommendations there’ve been. The more there are, the more likely someone will start it. 🙂 I finished it today and around my eyes is literally puffy with all the crying I’ve done, but it’s so worth it. That book is amazing.

Um whoops, reading Kate’s post just now, it hit me you meant if I’d already read your book. 😛 (I saw that in your post but forgot.) So if I’d read your book and loved it, I’d probably want more from you.

@Daeus I’d go more for the classic, I think.

@Daeus I searched and the Logan library has it. Yes. *hugely happy grin* I’ll ask if we can have it shipped to our nearer library for us to check out.

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Favorites? in the forum Book Discussions 9 years, 9 months ago
@Daeus I think the library closest to us is part of the Logan library system…I don’t think the Logan library is part of the Columbus system. I’ll see if I can look it up.
I might just be needing help if I can’t find and read such a thematically rich book though. 😛

@Daeus Gotcha. D’you think we could find it in a small town library; is it well enough known?

@Kate-Flournoy Ooh! Okay I’m requiring no immediate answer. By all means, I implore you, keep writing.

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic What Can I Do? in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 9 years, 9 months ago
@Anne-of-Lothlorien I might be interested in continuing a book with that beginning, though probably not if it was very long. 😛
Something I thought could be neat (though it’s not like the ideas you brought up), is if the door opened into just another room of the library, but a super secret one, with all sorts of books that have something (exactly…[Read more] -
