@e-n-leonard I hope you enjoyed (are enjoying) A Tale of Two Cities all the way to the end.

@lady-grace  That is something I’ve heard others complain of. (that A Tale of Two Cities starts out boring.) Seen objectively, it probably is, but I fell in love with his prose, and loved to read what he said, whether or not it was interesting. Also, I…[Read more]

@e-n-leonard That’s a good story. Did you finish the language?

🙂 I hope you like it as much as I do. Do you still like it?

Hello @kristina ! So good to have you here! Come make yourself comfortable and explore the forums. 🙂

…Okay. that posted weird, but I’m not going to fix it. 😀

Wait…don’t tell me you live in Minnesota! (you don’t have to tell me, lol)

Nice! I’m already imagining the covers with those names on! It reminds me of a supposed trilogy I wrote (I wrote two books, and it’s nothing like a trilogy): Whispers of the Sea, A Song in the Wind, Murmurs of the Earth (Changed that one’s name, finally disposing of…[Read more]

@lady-grace forgot to tag you.

That’s quite the trip! Oh, yeah! I spent the better part of one summer up a tree.

😀

I’m doing something similar with the fairy tale. I don’t want to publish it, but I think it has the potential to actually be a decent book, so I’m hurrying to finish the one about brothers first. Do your WIPs have names? I love names!

*bows* it’s our…[Read more]

When I was little the barn door was always a waterfall, and the floor was the rapids, so we had to stay off the floor–a variant of the game “lava”. 😀 I also had about a dozen imaginary horses with magical powers that were the colors of gladiolus flowers. Creating characters, storylines, and worlds is the best part of writing…[Read more]

YES! Another homeschooler. I can smell ’em, lol.

Ooh, what does “pegauony” mean?

You like good authors!! I haven’t read Suzanne Collins or Chuck Black. Have you heard of The Witch of Blackbird Pond? (Elizabeth George Speare)? That one was good!

It’s not for everyone. I like the story unfolding, trying to guess the criminal, the excitement of the first read-through. With Dorothy Sayers’s I love the it for the…[Read more]

Hello Chloe ( @lady-grace ) I love reading as well! What’s your favorite book or author? My favorite authors are C.S. Lewis and Dorothy Sayers, and my favorite two books are A Tale of Two Cities (Charles Dickens)  and The Strong Room (Jere Wheelwright). I used to say I didn’t have a genre I liked, but it’s beginning to dawn on me that I enjoy…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

Thanks! ha, I hope so!

No you were impressively close! If somebody asked me who the Prime Minister (even the current one) of the Netherlands was I would be like:”…??” Anyway, you hit right on it, just your actual guess was off by two (and there’s been 46, so two is small beans).
