The Ducktator replied to the topic Plotting Help (Free of Charge!) in the forum Plotting 2 years, 1 month ago
I like first person, but I generally prefer third. Some first person books are great, like Alcatraz vs The Evil Librarians, but others annoy me. I generally dislike first person with multiple POVs because then I keep forgetting whose POV I’m in, which could be a problem with the writing. It’s more forgivable in romances,…[Read more]

Waiiiit… isn’t the Penderwicks third person??? Or have I officially gone insane?
It’s third person. And first person with multiple POVs drives me crazy as well.

Yes! We have Blue Moo, Philadelphia Chickens, and Rhinoceros Tap. The others we get from the library.
Yes! I love the Intermission Show! Every time I go anywhere with an intermission, my siblings and I always sing that! “Technically, we’re not cows. We’re aardvarks!” -

I generally like third person more than first person. Both are good though, so do what you think works best. Just because it’s popular doesn’t mean it’s best. I can’t help much with the rest, because I’m having the same problem. Some books that do this well are The Penderwicks, The Vanderbeekers, Cheaper by the Dozen, and The Melendy Quartet.

Is the question not “what is the answer to life, the universe, and everything”?
But why is it 42? Why not 56, or 21 or 3.1415926535897932384626433?

It’s called Faraway Cookies. I highly recommend you listen to the rest of it. It’s hilarious. -

I have been found out. 😬 That was a wise decision. I am now trying to narrow my two hundred suggestions down to only two.😆

Weird. How would you color an olive‽ It would just be a weirder green probably. They just don’t look that appetizing.

I want a cookie! XD We own Philadelphia Chickens and several others. One of my sisters plays them all the time. 😆They are so fun!-
@theducktator
Have you ever listened to the “Blue Moon” book?
It is another one, similar to Philadelphia Chickens!
Is it Philadelphia Chickens that has the Aardvarks do the “intermission” show?? I always loved that part!!-

I love those songs sooo much…I played them on YouTube after our conversation and it brings back so many memories!
OH MY GOSH and I love the Speed Turtle one…and the Singing in the Shower one….I love them all!

@savannah_grace2009
For some reason it won’t let me reply to your comment. I memorized Singing in the Shower, and for a while I would sing it every time I showered! One of my sisters still does. And Be Like a Duck is probably my favorite! And Dance it Off, and Personal Penguin, and Ducks in a Row!

I know she says she is a Christian, but apparently she made Dumbledore gay in one of the Fantastic Beasts films. (I haven’t watched them, I’ve just heard this.) So I don’t think she really is. But I do see the parallels.
CRUNCHY APPLES FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!! And yeah, we are somewhat off topic.😆Is it time for suggestions?

Unfortunately my family doesn’t watch a lot of tv, so I probably won’t. However, I will add them to my mental list of shows to watch when I grow up.
