That sounds fun. My mom is Texan and she and some of my siblings always enjoyed those types of movies. If you ever visit, be prepared to be assaulted with Chuck Norris memes 😉

@joy-caroline

Oh, yea that makes sense. It’s kind of sad. I can’t imagine someone forcing me to take my beloved characters and turn their lives against…[Read more]

@elanor

Yeah, I agree that a lot of portrayals of the Robin Hood justified stealing. However, now I’m really curious about the original story and if it actually does that. Did you read the original version? Because the theme of “is stealing ever justified” could be a really interesting topic to explore in a novel. As it could delve into both…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Thank you so much! 😀

@joy-caroline

Yes, of course! Thank you for suggesting it! 😀

@abigail-m

Aww, thank you! I’m so glad you like her. 😀 She’s a ton of fun to write for.

Love the lines!!! Mejia sounds like someone I’d like. 😉

@elfwing

Ah, yes! Characters totally become our children. XD I know I call a twenty-eight-year-old woman a “girl,” so I get it. 🙂

@elishavet-pidyon

Agh, no kidding! He’s the best!!! XD

Gotcha. I feel you… I tend to skim through books now rather than read them… Unless, of course, it’s for school. 😉 lol I’ve read all of the GE books, except The Archer’s Cup. I only skimmed through that one. 🙂

Ooo, I haven’t read that in a long time. I’ll have to take a look at that…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Ah, I am very late to the conversation…*facepalm*

Your premise sounds amazing, Keilah! I think that either way you write it could be interesting, but them saying “no” could add a lot to the story. Faith has a lot of good points, but I love your story idea! Wishing you the best with this story! 🙂

@elishavet-pidyon

I used to read the American Girl books. I didn’t like them all that much, and kind of thought of them as discount–Laura Ingles Wilder books. But I was also strongly against historical fiction, so it made sense I didn’t like it.

What’s Fort Apache?

@joy-caroline

Yea, I agree I like Amy with Laurie, I think it tied the…[Read more]

@nova21

Life and school can be so overwhelming. Sometimes if feels like there’s an heavy weight on your shoulders at all times and you can never catch a breath. And no, your post didn’t come off as complaining at all! It just isn’t realistic to never talk about things that aren’t so positive. It’s good to talk about what you are struggling with.…[Read more]

@elfwing

Ah, yeah, learning more about mythology and history can really change your perspective on things.

And as much as I like Narnia, I always lean towards Tolkien as well. I love his worldbuilding and writing style, and yeah like you said his originality when it comes to both mythology and story. So many people have tried to replicate it,…[Read more]

@kathleenramm hahaha just remembered that XD very true.

When it changed for me was when I really started reading on mythology and history, then seeing how different the cultures are and the myths and legends of each, so it was very jarring to have it all thrown in a world at the same time. I love the humor of his stories and he had an amazing…[Read more]

@elfwing

That’s kinda funny, because that’s the same opinion Tolkien had on Lewis’s work! Tolkien also didn’t like The Chronicles of Narnia very much because the mythology didn’t make sense.

Although I love The Chronicles of Narnia, I get why it wouldn’t settle right for some people. It does do a lot of crazy things with mythology that might…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Despite not having read  Ingleside (I have only read the first Anne of Green Gables book) I thoroughly related to your frustrations in your post.

One of my pet peeves in books are characters who makes dumb decisions simply for plot convenience. Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally fine with characters who make mistakes, but the…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel Thanks so much! Hopefully, you can read it someday 😉

@abigail-m Wow!!! I wasn’t expecting such enthusiasm about my blog! Good to know you enjoy it!

I’m planning to do another charrie flaw post soon, it just takes time to think of them XD

I’m so glad you liked My World!

Hehe I have touched an electric fence multiple times just because I could XD

Haha I know, I like Frodo, but I love heartbreaking…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I get what you mean about stories; i reread stories my younger siblings currently are reading and was like “I used to like that… what happened?”

ok, I’ll say it. *winces

Chronicles of Narnia. I know it is probably shocking, but let me explain.

I loved reading Narnia as a child, but as I grew up a little the cacophonous…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Ever since I started writing I read much less, and I don’t reread books I read long ago anymore, plus I think we gave a lot of them away. On the rare occasion that I remembered I loved one book as a kid and I would reread it, I usually found it more hilarious than before.

There was one trilogy I really loved called School For Good…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Oh, is that like a sequel to Anne of Green Gables?
Somewhat random fact: a woman in my mother’s Sunday School group believes heartily that L. M. Montgomery married Gilbert and Anne because that’s how she wanted Jo and Laurie toe end up in Little Women by L. M. Alcott. It makes perfect sense tho. Anne and Gilbert are (at least in my…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Oof, yea, so to tell the truth, I’m usually blinded by childhood nostalgia when I read books that I had read a while ago.

But recently, my sis and I picked up some old and beloved books, and read them again. Just a small series of short stories, novellas, I think. And boy were they predictable. I was informed abt the ending (cuz I…[Read more]
