@slylilhuntress  If I may add something to my list of book recommendations (told you I’d probably forget something), I think you should check out James Herriot’s books! They’re a series of semi-non-fictional, biographical stories about a Scottish veterinarian (his real name is Alf Wight) who moved to mid-England to work with animals in the mid…[Read more]

@rochellaine  Ooooh, Star Trek!

G’bye! *Vulcan salutes*

@catwing It’s a funny thing…my poems usually turn out better than I thought they were going to, and my stories/books usually turn out not as well as I expected – but I write way more prose than poetry! 🙂

Okay, goodbye!  See you Monday!

@dekreel I’ll be leaving now too, since my brother’s playing a Voyager episode for us!  I hope it’s one I h…[Read more]

@catwing  Good night!

@rochellaine  *shrugs* Fiction is fine, too.

Have you read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith? It’s historical fiction

Hm. I’ve never heard of those books

@dekreel Contrary to popular belief I have read multiple fantasy books. 😀  No, I actually haven’t read Princess Academy, but I’ve read all the original Chuck Black books and the first of his trilogy, Narnia, Ed Dunlap’s Terrestria series’, Frank Peretti’s Cooper Kids, Gilbert Morris’s Seven Sleepers, and a few others.  I am not unaware of the v…[Read more]

@catwing  What! I’m impulsive! Once I get an idea that I’m really excited about, there’s no stopping it 😉

YES! Oooh, you made me curious

@jenali  Thanks so very much!! It was really fun to write! 😀 <3

@rochellaine Thanks! I’m glad it’s not a bad idea

It’s been such a long time since I’ve read Little Women. I can’t even vaguely remember any details. XD They did the same thing in Princess Academy, though, if you’ve read that (then again, it’s a fantasy book…)

What’s your favorite historical book? Mine is Night by Elie Wiesel. It’s an…[Read more]

@catwing I was kinda wondering that, considering that you wrote the first chapter two years ago…

But I remembered that my first novel took me a year and a half or two years, so it’s reasonable to take a long time. 🙂  The only problem with that for me was that by the time I had gotten to the end my writing had matured so much in two years that…[Read more]

@dekreel 😀  Thanks.  But that’s actually a really good idea!  I’ll love it when you do it!!!  Those kinds of stories are always fun.  My favorite is probably the one from Little Women that they make at Laurie’s party.  Do you remember that one?  It’s hilarious.

@rochellaine  Your topic gives me an idea! Maybe someone could make a topic where first, someone starts a story, and writes the first few sentences/paragraphs, and then tags someone else who extends that story with a few more paragraphs, and then tags yet another person, etc.

Obviously, I’ll wait for awhile to let everyone catch your topic first 😉

@catwing Oh good.  I’m really hoping someone writes a story based on the ocean one. 🙂

How is Firebird coming?

@catwing 😀 😀

@rochellaine  Understandable. Although, I’d highly recommend trying again. *devious smirk* It’s really good

@catwing  *glances around warily* … It was supposed to be Anna, yes.

Ooh, I’d never thought about that! And I thought I knew cats pretty well……

@dekreel No, I guess not…whoops!  I think it was already here before I joined, and I remember reading the first installment, but it was too hard to wade through all the pages of comments to find the rest of the story so I gave up.

@catwing Sorry. 🙂

@dekreel XD I figured.

And I got an email about it, too X’D

“Hi, Dekreel, Dekreel just mentioned you, Dekreel.” XD
