@winter-rose Oh! Yes! That is an awesome idea! I know exactly what to do with it! *maniacal laugh* @daeus

@daeus Aha. Would like some more ice cream long with the sequel? 😛
@christi-eaton Hahaha! Yeah…I’m not even sure why I asked that question. 😛 Shall I say its unanimous?

Okay, as there will be an angry mob chasing me if I do not write a sequel, as it would seem, I clearly need to write one. I already have some ideas, but if any of you have…[Read more]

@jadamae Thank you so much!

Alright. How many of you vote for a sequel?

@northerner I actually haven’t read The Thirteen Clocks, though it sounds neat! I’ll have to check it out. And yeah, I figured it wouldn’t be as awesome in any other publishing situations, but I’ve had so much fun seeing your all’s reactions. I love to make people laugh.
@emma-flournoy 😀 Glad you likey. When I wrote it, I knew that I had to…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper
Well…
So…
Um..
WOW.
There are not words for how much I love this!!!!!!!!!!!!! Simply put, this is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. Period.
As for my favorite line, I love all of the ones mentioned, but the last line…

“I like your dragons.”

…was one of the best. Perfect ending to an amazing story. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

@Kate-flournoy *coughs* Yes, that. XD

@northerner Yesss. *shakes head* I normally don’t do that…

@Northerner ha! :’D

@GracieGirl *squeals* Did you read it!!!??? Wasn’t it awesome? The thing about G. K. Chesterton’s stuff is that you read it, and by the time you get to the end it’s never about what you thought it was going to be about, but somehow manages to be even more awesome. 😀

Incidentally I also read The Man Who Was Thursday and loved it as well. It was…[Read more]

Because when does Kate not come up with a name that doesn’t mean something?

@Hope *cough* That would be ‘When does Kate ever come up with a name that doesn’t mean something?’
Otherwise… *cough* carry on. XD

@delightinlife Everyone else has pretty much covered it. I tend to force myself to write even when I don’t feel like it, that way by the time I do feel like it again I have something done. 😉

Another thing that keeps my mind fresh is working on a few projects at once. I generally have one main project, but I’ll be working on one or two others…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper This is hysterical! Just… just everything. The raspberries and ice cream. And Kate would so be the one to bring home baby dragons… XD And when Josiah came in with a beard and a frog I about died.

I have two favorite lines.

Kate smiled, “Aviur and Kai.”
Daeus’ façade melted into a frown. Was he mistaken, or did both of those…

Psalm 10:4 The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is not in any of his thoughts.

Psalm 119:160 The entirety of Your word is truth, every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.

@delightinlife Audrey and Jane had great thoughts on things you can change about a story to make it appear fresh again. I’ve read stuff from several different authors who experience the same thing, and sometimes this can be an unfortunate side effect of thinking about a project too much before working on it! There’s an old blog post I wrote on…[Read more]

@jenali What’s the focusing question and message of your book, and what’s your character’s EiL, just so I understand everything that’s going on in your story?

@jenali That’s awesome to hear! 😀 It definitely opened up my view of storytelling as well when I realized that several years ago. Haven’t read The Last Unicorn, but it sounds like a good example. Isabella is definitely both in Northanger Abbey, and I agree that she’s more of an influencer. On a side note, isn’t Northanger Abbey just a fantastic…[Read more]

@jenali Great example! Charlotte and Elizabeth are great foil characters in Pride and Prejudice. Those sorts of foils can definitely work very effectively.

@jenali Looks good–I like how the scenes build on each other to hammer on Brigen’s inability to succeed with his EiL.

@jenali Great! What aspects of this section have been harder to understand? Is there anything I could be explaining better?
