The Wingfeather Saga got me from 'across the dark sea of darkness'. I love them! And I will mention nothing else until you're done.  |

Oh I love the Wingfeather Saga! Did anyone else see that they're making an animated series for the books?  I helped back them on kickstarter, it was so exciting!! |

Wow, those shoes...simply horrendous and terribly futuristic (except someone is obviously wearing them nowadays). Do you have more information on the coaching, Erudessa? Ummmm...not much! She would be offering written 'lectures' that would be free at first but at some point in time might be bundled into books for sale or into courses that you have to pay for. As for one-on-one coaching, there is a possibility that she will be doing it, but there is no certainty. |

THE TWO TOWERS WAS AWESOME! I loved it! I got a huge kick out of Gollum acting like an over-dramatic whining kid when he wanted the rope off his neck. The battle at Helm's Deep was really cool! I loved the elven warrior's synchronized fighting. Merry and Pippin and the Ents cracked me up too. I love the part where the Ent says, "We have decided that you are not orcs." And Pippin says, "Well that's good" and Merry looks ready to hack the Ent to the ground. I also love the fight over the Ent drought. "Everyone knows I've always been pushing 3''8. *tree-ish noise and slight stretching movement* 3''9!" I did see that they're making an animation. I'm so excited! I LOVE their drawing of Leeli. Kalmar not so much. I always call him Kalmar now, not Tink. Don't say why because Corissa just started the books. Don't give anything away!   I love these emoticon things. |

I've been busy finishing up some school subjects early, so I've fallen a little behind in writing endeavors. Sorry Hope, my beta reading is a little late. Dawn is about halfway done. I'm finished with two more subjects, so all I have left now is Spanish, (  ) Biology, History, and Bible. I can't wait for summer. I've also started a shorter story with the working title The Prince The Apple and The Tower. All I'm going to say is it's not your ordinary fairytale. I can't stop using these little faces. |

I love Helm Deep...I don't care if that's not how it happened in the books. Have you read the books? When are you going to see Return of the King? |

I have read the books, before I saw the movies. Last summer I started the Hobbit, and I finished them all before the fall. I get to see the Return of the King on the second Wednesday in May. Then hopefully I can watch all three Hobbits for my birthday in July, but more likely just the first one. Out of the books my favorite is the Two Towers, even everyone says it the walking book, but my brother says his favorite movie is Return of the Kind. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Hey Hope, I saw the pictures you put on Instigram of you as an archer. They are really good. I think your red hair makes a nice contrast to the dark bow and the white dress. I want to do that now, but the only bow we have yet is my brother's, and it doesn't look old, it's almost futuristic. I just made myself a colonial style jumper, but it could also double as a medieval peasant dress.

Thanks. Noah took the pictures. The costume is from the last movie we made. Hmm, maybe you could dress up as a futuristic archer/freedom fighter. And then you could go to the roof of a skyscraper or something to get a cool shot. Or in the grass and trees, I suppose, spying on the 'enemy'. |

That would be feasible. Hmmmm. All I would need is black pants and shirt, and a cape of sorts. I could take the pictures in our woods. Or maybe at a friend's house on top of their antennae tower, right Corissa?  That sounds cool. Maybe I'll do that. Right now I'm saving up money to buy myself a good camera, the one I have now being entirely made of junk and for the sole purpose of taking terrible pictures. Hey, what can you expect when you get something for three dollars at a garage sale? |

IVE ROSE IF YOU ARE READING THIS: I have been reading your blog and the first chapter of The Old River Road. I LOVE IT! I cannot wait for it to come out! Will it only be electronic version, or are you getting it in paperback? The story sounds so interesting. I love sweet love stories like that! And since I know Clara and William get married, I couldn't help smiling when she thought that he was in no way romantic. I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT! YAAY! HURRY UP JULY! It will be just in time for my birthday. I was born July 15th.

Hey everyone, I finally got him. Squishy the Invisible Nazi Killer from Quebec is now a permanent resident in my room. But, since he's a goldfish, I don't think he'll be killing any Nazis anytime soon. And yes, that is his real full name, but I just call him Squishy. He's cute. Day after tomorrow I get to watch Return of the King. I'm so excited! After that I'll probably start the Hobbits. I want to use twenty emoticons! For Corissa and Hope, who will be beta reading Dawn for me, hopefully you should both get copies by the end of the month. I'm almost done with the second draft. And anyone else... please tell me I am not the only girl who likes taking apart old radios and electronics at ten o'clock at night so I can keep the cool weird parts in bottles above my desk, and because the insides of a CD player are just awesome. Someone else does that, right? Right? |
