😀 Awesome! I found Elizabeth Klett to be an EXCELLENT reader of the classics (I listened to her solo of The House Of Mirth, and she also read the part of Jane in the dramatized reading of Pride and Prejudice – both on LibriVox/Internet Archive). 🙂Yes! Totally agree with you about Hannah More. I wish they’d make a biopic film…[Read more]

Hi! 🙂 I just re-watched the 2012 film musical and it was so wonderful I’ve gathered up the courage to try reading the entire, unabridged book again by Hugo. 😛 So I’ve been doing some searching, and am wondering which translation of Les Mis do you think is the best?…[Read more]

Thanks, Maddie, for this insightful article! I needed this to make my villain more villainous AND effective! 🙂

Sorry for being late!
Character’s Purpose: I really should not have read @evelyn ‘s response, because I was going to say the same thing. 😛 MC should 1) be relatable (realistic) 2) be the main person driving the plot of the story (because he/she is the main character) and 3) either live out the theme of the story or otherwise make…[Read more]

I hope you don’t mind (if you do – I shall take your silence to mean so), I’m including you in here since I see in your signature that you’re a sci-fi writer too. 🙂
Here’s a question for y’all Sci-Fi writers/readers:

@pursuewisdom Oh hey!😊 No, I don’t mind at all! This is great!
Wow, those sound like some really good books! I’m familiar with the first too, but have only read an abridged version of Tale of Two Cities…the last two books sound really cool! (My to-read list just keeps on expanding…😀)

*squishes you in a hedge-hug* 😊Yeah, I’m familiar with LibriVox! It’s awesome! I mostly listened to it when I was younger…I should go check it out again.

Okay, I should totally check this lady out! Sounds amazing! 😀
YES!! They should make a movie about her life…although it would drive me CRAZY if they blotched it up. Like portrayed her in the wrong sort of way, if you know what I mean.
Yeah, I’m still trying to learn my craft too. It’s hard…😉

@eden-anderson
🙂 Awesome! I’m listening to her reading of Austen’s Persuasion right now.Absolutely correct. I hate it when biopics are made badly. I was really impressed with HBO’s John Adams (2008). Some liberty was taken with facts but overall it was rather accurate and good.

@pursuewisdom
Really?! That’s so cool! Persuasion is one of Austen’s works I have not read yet, but I love the movie! ❤Yeah, I so agree!! I’ve heard of the John Adams movie, but I haven’t seen it. 🙂
