Hey! Glad you’re back. Good luck with you’re writing, dear!

Thanks! Looking forward to it, @dragon-snapper! And hey, you’re pretty cheery yourself! 😉

Yo.

So…the reason I write has, inevitably, changed as I’ve grown up. At first, I wrote stories because it was fun. I was a creative kid, and I enjoyed writing because it allowed me to pursue my fun, crafty side. As I got older, however, I started to realize just how much writing meant to me, and I started to dream about pursuing it as a…[Read more]

Yep. All four books. I’d say it’s a waste of time, but if you want to read them just to say how bad they are…go for it? Totally up to you haha. @ashlyvye

*sighs* I’ve only been on for a year, so I guess I can’t expect too much. @daeus

@daeus I’d really like to hear you answer her second question. Share your chosen one status with me?

I’d agree with you, but the Twilight books were even more popular, and I really can’t explain that one, so… @ashlyvye

Haha, yep! I read them when I was fifteen, and I was so excited about them that I finished all seven books in a couple of weeks. A month or so later, I went back to read them and discovered they weren’t as good as I’d thought, but I still love the series as a whole.

Combined with the fact that by now, I’ve seen all the movies and been to Harry P…[Read more]

@ashlyvye No worries!

@dragon-snapper Great job! Thanks for sharing!

Friday is here, and that means there’s just a few days left until the newsletter goes out! Post your writerly advice here for a chance to get your name (and blog!!) into the newsletter, where every KeePer eye will see!

@ashlyvye @christianna-hellwig @dragon-snapper @rochellaine @mnvalentine

@christianna-hellwig *cheers* You did it!

@ashlyvye Never fear, I read the Cursed Child the day it came out in the US, and I was very happy with how it played out (pun intended).

Don’t get me wrong–I like Gryffindor, they’re just a bit…irritating. I don’t like how the books are catered to their house, but that might just be the Slytherin in me talking…

I like how you used the…[Read more]

@christianna-hellwig A word about tags–to let someone know you’ve responded to their post, simply put @ and then their username, like I did with your tag above. You can find a persons’ tag just below their username. My username, for example, is Elizabeth, but my tag is @that_writer_girl_99. Make sense?

@ashlyvye That last one is definitely me haha! I’m lucky the college I’ll be going to has a creative writing major.

Well then yeah, I’d say that describes how I feel about it. @daeus

That depends on what you mean by sold out…? @daeus

That’s the goal, yes. @daeus

@mnvalentine I completely agree with you! I love the Harry Potter series, and I think it has a lot of positive themes. I’ve no problems with the HP books, and simply mentioned them because @princessfoo had. Really great thoughts there!

The Twilight books, however, are completely empty of any positive themes. I mentioned that they’re for…[Read more]

You’re right. When I think culture, I think of it on a grander scale, and with an emphasis on the mental/spiritual ways books challenge us to think and act. On that note, you’re right–the Twilight and Hunger Games books present a number of smaller issues that were only escalated due to their popularity. @princessfoo
