@Daeus wow, I think you’re faster at editing than I am! 😀

@Daeus sounds great. See ya then.

Okay @Daeus I’ll write with you. Notify me when you want to stop.

@overcomer it reads like a poem, but in theory it’s a prayer. I love it! Polish it up a bit, and I think it will be absolutely beautiful. 😀

Hey guys,

I came across this while I was going through some of my old writings. At the time I wrote it I didn’t think it was a poem, but now I’m not so sure. What do y’all think? (Warning: Unedited version. Punctuation is basically nil;)

Thank you Lord for the bad days

@gretald I cried; I cry at very few books, but the end of the Wingfeather Saga was one of them. ;(

@Hope Yeah, I see what you mean.
I just finished the Wingfeather Saga (@zoe-wingfeather). It. Was. Amazing. As for the ending, I thought it was really powerful and moving, even though…*sobs* And I agree with what you all have been saying about the ending. I wish Andrew Peterson had added a little more to the end so that the reader could find…[Read more]

@gretald See, I wish there’d been an extra line or two to the Giver, to tell me it was real and not just his imagination…even though I am pretty sure it is real. When I read stories, I want to read to the very end, not be left with an implied happy ending but not knowing for sure if the MC gets better or stays dead, for example. 😉

@Hope Yes, we should start a topic on this! Problem is, I’m leaving for Tennessee and staying all of next week, so I won’t be able to participate much.

@Hope It depends on how much is implied and what is being implied. The end of The Giver was implied, but I liked it because the author left it open enough for the reader to decide what happened.

I like them if they force me to think. Otherwise they just annoy me.

@gretald There’s lots of new characters in the second series. Percy is one of seven characters, so he’s in it (starting with the next book) but not as much. As to are they worth reading…I’m glad I read them once, and they are funny and well written, but I’ll probably not read them again mainly because they’re so long.

I think…I don’t know.…[Read more]

@winter-rose Ohh, yes. The second Wingfeather Saga book hook (no rhyme intended) wasn’t terrific.
@hope I read the first book in the second series, and, while it was good, it just wasn’t Percy Jackson. I also felt like some of the action was–how do I say this–kind of…forced, if that makes sense?

Also, since Riordan isn’t a Christian, the l…

Hey, this is an awesome topic @Daeus. Thanks so much for starting it.
Your theory is perfectly accurate— that’s a really good way to look at it. A plot-twist is when you reach the door at the end of the tunnel and it slams in your face, but a second door opens to your right. You’re still moving forward, but the playing field has changed.
