You know you’re a writer when, as you’re playing solitaire, you’re forming a story idea in your mind about four kingdoms who were scattered apart by enemies, and are forced to cooperate and work together to rebuild them

@seekjustice Oh my goodness!  The book is so completely different from the movie that you couldn’t tell they were the same but for the fact that the names aren’t changed!  There are so many differences I don’t think you can count them.

Have you heard of the movie Saving Mr. Banks?  I haven’t seen it, but it’s a film about the making of Mary Popp…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  That’s okay! XD

@seekjustice By the way, I agree that an Anastasia analysis should be very interesting.  I’ve only read about it, though.  Never seen any of it.  Same with The Hunchback, except I’ve seen the 1939 movie version with Maureen O’Hara and Charles Laughton, which I liked a lot. (I think it’s pretty different from the book.)  I’m sure, as you say, t…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  Oh, and YES! Totally leave comments! 😀

@gabbyj  Sure!

BTW your signature is awesome 😉

@warrenluther04  All right. Dog it is! 🙂

@seekjustice Well, a really famous one (In the U.S. and England, at least) is Pygmalion, which was made into the musical/movie My Fair Lady.  I can’t stand the thought of the plot, because the male protagonist is horrible the whole way through.  (I think he ends up a little tiny bit better in the musical version, but just barely.)  The play is by…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  I’d imagine somewhere in the tween-early teen age, since that’s how old the MCs are, but I don’t know for sure

@sam-kowal  @valtmy  Thank you both so much! It helps a lot 😀

@seekjustice And here’s a link to the Wikipedia article on the musical.

@seekjustice Have you heard of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel?  It was a stage musical, later made into a movie.  It was based on a play, rather than a book, but I read the play like a book on Gutenberg, so it could count if you’re not too much of a literalist?

It actually has a kind of weird, fantastical plot, which upon reading th…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m not here… 😀  (It’s still Sunday where I live, so I’m not working) But I just wanted to ask you a question:

I’ve been jumping over to your blog once in a while to look for updates and I really like the new series you have going: Book vs. Movie vs. Musical.  But I was wondering if you’ve picked out all your subjects yet?  How ma…[Read more]

@supermonkey42 WOW!  That is so cool.  And funny. 😀  Third time’s the charm, huh?  And the right to blankets without holes should definitely be Constitutional.  😀 😀

I really liked the unconventionality of the way you skipped the end of the last line of the first stanza and went into a separate ramble.  It made it very interesting.

@skredder  I’m going to sign off, too. Good luck on your project!

@winter-rose  Byeee!

@skredder  Ahh. Forgive me for my ignorance *scratches head*

@ashlyvye  OH! I never explained it to you, did I? *bangs head on table*

KPA stands for KeePer adventure. It is, as you can see, a story about all the awesome beings on Kingdom Pen. So by “being in the KPA,” you are a character X)

@skredder  Interesting! Do you take a business class?

Ahhhh! Heheh XD

@winter-rose  That’s funny! Hm… I seriously need to read LOTR…… *glances at bookshelf*

@ashlyvye  Just because I like you and I thought you might like reading this…… 😉 (Mostly cuz I like you XD )

Hmmmm! Do you want to be in the KPA sometime?

@winter-rose  *gulps Gatorade* 😉

BTW I’ve been meaning to ask you: Why do you and Snapper (and maybe Ethryndal, too) call each other LOTR names? XD

@skredder  Yep. I want it finished before Easter so I can post the last part, the finale on Easter

What reasons may that be…?

You can do it! YESS! What is the project about? Or am I being too snoopy? If so you don’t have to answer it
