It’s something I can do during the 15 minute break I get at work on the nights I skip supper, or when I just need an outlet. I took up free verse in the last year, which has really helped. I enjoy rhyming poetry too though, and I’ve been doing that since I was 7 or so. Why do you ask?

Over the summer I listened to The Haunted Room so many times that I practically had Emmy’s lines memorized. It’s one of my “secret dreams” to adapt the story into a script for the stage and portray Emmy in it. 🙂 My other favorite is Sir Malcolm and the Missing Prince, b…[Read more]

It’s one of my other favorites. 😀 I have read the Hidden Hand, but honestly that one wasn’t my favorite. It just felt like it went too far in some places. I haven’t read Ishmael or Self Raised yet; what did you think of them?

I first heard about Lamplighter books because my pastor is a distributor. 😀

I have…[Read more]

I would basically echo what @literatureforthelight said, especially about keeping a copy of your first draft to look back on if you need to. I learned the hard way that sometimes, after all the editing, you realize there was a scene or description that you liked way better in the…[Read more]

I enjoy beta reading and editing though, so I’d love to do something like this if it ever works with my schedule!

Have a blessed week, and the Lord be with you and use you and this curriculum for His glory!

Probably Through the Linn, The Lost Clue, The Haunted Room, or The Treasure of the Secret Cove. I love so many of them though!

Oh, and another non-Lamplighter favorite that I would add to my list of favorite books read this year is Evidence Not Seen, by the missionary Darlene Diebler Rose. It’s an incredible accoun…[Read more]
