Although, I have lots of other things to draw first. But I am keen to post more art on le blog because art is fun, right? (I'm chuffed you remember the paper dolls!)<br /><br />Aw lovely! Actually she's ended up coming home cause it's our bro's birthday tomorrow, we've just been out for dinner which was delightful!<br /><br />Ooh I'm intrigued now! AND YES I WANT TO.<br /><br />FOR NOW. ~poetically draws sword~<br /><br />I look forward to S&S!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-31607957019138195842016-09-20T18:15:40.267-05:002016-09-20T18:15:40.267-05:00OH, YOU. XD I totally get the nickname thing! I al...OH, YOU. XD I totally get the nickname thing! I always think of my books as TPQ, TPK, etc., rather than The Prophet's Quest and The Prophet's Key. I *could* call them Quest and Key for short, but I never have. LOL, I love all your mom's variations of the title! Speaking of TCATT, I have like six chapters left...! I'm sorry it's taking me so much longer than anticipated to read it.<br /><br />It's been a while since I read Mockingjay, so I don't remember exactly how I felt about whether it was rushed or not... I do know I devoured the trilogy because the books are so fast-paced. :) LOL, I didn't even take much note of the lighting in the movie. YOU SHOULD DRAW A MOCKINGJAY PICTURE. I haven't seen any of your art since your paper dolls pictures on your blog!<br /><br />Two sisters, actually! 16 and 13, and both amazing. ^_^ Oh, have fun visiting your sis this weekend!<br /><br />The False Prince has a great twist that I didn't see coming (though you might?)... And EMILYYYY READ PETER PAN!!! It's completely delightful.<br /><br />*scatters poetry like flower petals* (Yes! TCATT is chock full of poetic writing!) Haha, true. Though it seems to depend on the book for me... With The Brightest Thread, I was all about the pretty words, and then I had to condense everything. But with The Prophet's Key, I'm just putting down the bare bones and it's kind of blegh. FOR NOW.<br /><br />Thank you, friend! I haven't really said anything about college here yet (S&S is coming!), but in short: college is awesome and busy but it's going to be so life-changing, I think. Have a splendiferous September yourself! ^_^Tracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-87791534761149076262016-09-19T14:34:18.665-05:002016-09-19T14:34:18.665-05:00I'M FANGIRLING OVER MY MENTION IN THIS POST, W...I'M FANGIRLING OVER MY MENTION IN THIS POST, WITH MY BOOK TITLE IN ITALICS AND EVERYTHING! I never ever ever think of it as The City and the Trees, it's always TCATT in my thoughts and conversation, recently one of my friends actually forgot the title because, as she says, "it's like someone who you have a nickname for and you only ever call them by their nickname so you momentarily forget their real name". (Fun side fact, my mum always wants to call it "The Castle In the Trees" or "The City At the Trees" or "The City Among the Trees". And I'm like no no no city AND trees and she argues that city AMONG trees would make much more sense. I remind her that she has not read it whereas I, in fact, have read it, once or twice ... !) So anyway yes it's very weird to see it like a Proper Book Title and gahhh I'm so happy you're reading it and just, yay!<br /><br />~frolics away into the sunset~<br /><br />~frolics back to comment on the rest of post~<br /><br />I properly loved Mockingjay, I LOVED it. Lawrence is sooo amazing! And I thought the pacing was perfect. For me the third book felt very rushed, so spreading it out over two films has worked so so well. Also the lighting in pt2 is so incredible. I saw it in the cinema, so on the massive screen, and the quality of the picture and the lighting was soo amazing, I remember just sitting there like "I WANT TO DRAW THIS ENTIRE FILM". It's so beautiful :3<br /><br />Your sleepover with your sister sounds so cute. How old is she? I'm going to visit mine at uni this weekend <333<br /><br />Can't wait to read The False Prince! And Peter Pan. Still not read Peter Pan. ~guiltily shuffles feet~<br /><br />LET THE POETRY FLOW FREEEE! (That's the other thing that made me squee into a puddle under the desk. "Poetic writing"??? Me?! My book?!! You're so nice!) But yes. Editing is the time when you say "Corrie (or Aileen or Josiah or whoever it is), that metaphor is APPALLING and I don't even know what it MEANS". But first drafting is the time of ALL THE WORDS AND IMAGES. Ahahaha--<br /><br />Anyway, I hope September and college (!) is going really well for you! I guess that as I read the two other most recent posts I've not read I'll get an update, but yeah, praying for you :*Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-81543341028598342972016-09-13T11:06:17.439-05:002016-09-13T11:06:17.439-05:00I know, the music is fantastic!

I guess the Star Wars newbies, like myself and your cousin, haven't had the time to get as emotionally invested in the characters. But maybe if I watch the other movies, then rewatch The Force Awakens...? ;) Yes, Rey's believability was probably my favorite aspect of her character!<br /><br />Thanks so much, Elise! I hope your September is going wonderfully as well. :DTracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-59806852791591443862016-09-13T11:04:23.310-05:002016-09-13T11:04:23.310-05:00CHRISTINE! *glomples* Welcome back!
You play Carc...CHRISTINE! *glomples* Welcome back!<br /><br />You play Carcassone too? Sweet! Thankfully I had friends who'd played before to help me along and give me some tips. I still lost epically, but it was a fun game that I'd definitely play again. :)<br /><br />Watch it again! And be ripped apart by all the feels. D': The scene with Buttercup the cat gets me every time...<br /><br />It's been so long since I saw the first two Kung Fu Panda movies, so I don't remember if I liked the first or second better... But I do know I liked #3 the best. :) Haha, yep, this was my first real exposure to Star Wars! We'll see what the other movies are like. XD<br /><br />Of course you were mentioned! Finishing Burning Thorns was so exciting, it deserved to be mentioned alongside my published-book reads last month. ^_^ I'm so happy I was one of your readers too!!<br />Yeah, I was hoping to enjoy that book more too. Hopefully the next two books are better?<br />I READ PETER PAN, YES--JUST LET ME FROLIC IN THE DELIGHTFULNESS OF IT. Peter is completely awful and yet completely wonderful and, ack, I love it. <3<br />I haven't had time to write up my review of FER yet...hopefully soon! D:<br /><br />Thank you, dearie! You never cease to encourage me. <3 I will definitely enjoy this rest period before getting back into writing.<br /><br />ASLKDFJASKLDFJ. CHRISTINE, I CANNOT WORD. That means so much to me--thank you. *hugs* It's one of the aspects of writing that I absolutely love, so it's super encouraging to hear that those on the receiving end love it too. ^____^<br /><br />I STARTED COLLEGE! My first day was last Wednesday, so this is my first full week of it. (No problem at all for forgetting which day--I would've forgotten too. XD) Thanks muchly for the prayers and support, girl! It's been amazing so far, and the only kind-of-downside is adjusting to the busier schedule and not being home as much. Other than that, it's been incredible, and I have a feeling this is going to be a great year. :DTracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-20948307208689796782016-09-13T10:54:30.456-05:002016-09-13T10:54:30.456-05:00Clear as mud!

It's one...I loved the theme of Kung Fu Panda 3! It's one that hasn't been done enough, imo. :)<br />That's fun that The Force Awakens was your first Star Wars movie. It was my cousin's first Star Wars movie too, and she wasn't affected by the Han Solo final scene as much as me and others were.<br />I really liked Rey; she was believable instead of super tough and invincible, which was nice.<br /><br />I hope you have a good September, Tracey! :)E.E.

I also recommend the radio drama... adds a lot of detail to the stories - and super well done. (They got the main actors to play the voices of their characters, so that helps).<br /><br />Then read all the books. Specifically any that were written by Timothy Zahn (starting with "Heirs to the Empire" and continuing through that trilogy... and reading the others he's written as well).<br /><br />The Han Solo Trilogy is also a definite must. And The Courtship of Princess Leia... Truce at Bakura... I, Jedi... really, all of them, but those are my favorites.<br /><br />Then... if you want to, you can go watch Episodes 1, 2, and 3. They're... ok.<br /><br />Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series is quite good as well. (Episodes 1 - 3 make far more sense in the context of a cartoon). <br /><br />I have heard that Star Wars: Rebels is even better, and I want to watch it... but have not gotten a chance to yet as we would have to buy it (not on Netflix... boo)<br /><br />Then, if you must, you can watch episode 7 again. But really, I mean... once you've fallen in love with the characters, you might just want to block out the bit at the end... it will be far too painful after spending all the above-mentioned time with the "real" Star Wars characters.<br /><br /><br />:) :) :)<br /><br />Clear as mud? ;)<br /><br />Star Wars is one of the few stories I truly love to pieces. That and LOTR, of course. So... yeah. I'm a bit nuts.

But wonderful Tracey summary post! *huggles it*<br /><br />It sounds like a lovely month. ^_^ Sleepovers and weddings and swimming and things. Oh, oh! We loooove Carcassone. It's been a while since we've played it, but it's a total blast! Once you've figured out all those rules anyway...heh.<br /><br />Oh man. I'm dying to see Mockingjay Part 2 again. I only saw it once, and that was back when it was in theaters! So it's been a while. And I agree, Jennifer Lawrence did an astounding job playing Katniss. BUT ALL THE FEELS. *sobs*<br /><br />You know what's sad? I haven't even seen the SECOND Kung Fu Panda yet!!! Much less the third. And I LOVE the first one. THIS IS A TRAGEDY. Annd I haven't seen the new Star Wars. But I didn't know you've never seen any of them! That makes me feel better because I'm just not a huge fan of them...<br /><br />MEEP. I was mentioned in your post. And let me just so I'm so HAPPY you were one of my readers. <333 Those other two books sound quite intriguing. I didn't even know Lawhead's son had written anything. How fun! That's a shame you didn't enjoy it too much though.<br />BUT YOU READ PETER PAN!!!!! AAAAAHHHH!!! Wasn't it so whimsical and delightful and just...EVERYTHING YOU SAID. And Peter, YES. He's so awful sometimes, but you can't help but love him no matter what.<br />I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on Five Enchanted Roses! :D :D :D<br /><br />GIRL. 8k in a month is IMPRESSIVE. o.o And you've just been so good to keep going with the 100-for-100 challenge. You've done AWESOME and should be super proud of your achievements. But yes, breaks are wonderful necessities and you should totally allow yourself some rest time if you need it.<br /><br />And just so you know, your lyrical style blows my mind every. single. time I read it. I think that will be your trademark. Gorgeous words that makes us reader sigh from the beauty of it and want to soak it in. I understand not EVERY scene can be full of prose, but you should never lock away that part of you because, GRACIOUS. All the talent! O_O<br /><br />TRACEY. YOU'RE ABOUT TO START COLLEGE. Or...you've already started? AGH. I forget what day you start. I'm so shameful! But whether you've started yet or not, I hope it goes amazingly for you, and you (and Josiah) are in my prayers! <333Christine Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859881278385314279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-85684942562038973072016-09-10T20:15:22.530-05:002016-09-10T20:15:22.530-05:00It's so fun when books and movies are all enjo...It's so fun when books and movies are all enjoyable!

It's just sad to see summer slip away so quickly. I hope your September doesn't get TOO nutso!<br /><br />Heehee, it's coming... Sometime this month, I hope! ;) Rest assured I really enjoyed your tale.<br /><br />Hahaha, I guess TFA was probably an emotional movie for the old fans! I found it sad too, of course, but it probably didn't suckerpunch me in the ribs like it would've for people who grew up on Star Wars. (So is "in order" the originals, and then the prequels? Or the prequels and then the originals? So confuzzling. XD)<br /><br />Yayyyyy for Peter Pan! It's such a delightful story. :D<br /><br />I'm so glad you enjoy these wrap ups! It's fun to look back on what one little month can hold. :)<br /><br />Oh goodness, Jenelle, thanks!

Star Wars is my favorite. Not the new one, though... it was good... but... Han. Yeah. Grrrrrrrrrrr. all the tears. can't handle it. sigh. Empire Strikes Back is my favorite.

I'll have to take a picture of it for my *cough* very late FF post.) Yeah, the prequels aren't really the greatest. >.> I don't hate them, but I don't care for them all that well. Still, I would recommend watching them once just to see what you think. ^_^<br />Oh, I think they did all the scene transitions that way to pay homage to the originals. That's kind of the standard for all the Star Wars movies so they probably just wanted to stay consistent. :)<br /><br />Ahhh, good luck tomorrowwwww! YOU CAN DO IT, TART. ;)<br /><br />P.S. Your lovely emails totally made my day yesterday!

(I'm always worried that these posts make my life look more interesting/glamorous/put together than it actually is...)<br /><br />Thanks so much, girl! You're such an encouragement! <3 I hope your September turns out wonderfully too.Tracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-50148875123134404182016-09-06T18:22:15.894-05:002016-09-06T18:22:15.894-05:00Aw, berserk gardens are a disappointment. Here'...Aw, berserk gardens are a disappointment. Here's to next year?<br /><br />I guess I will watch them in reverse...or not in proper order, anyway. XD I have been warned about the prequels, but I'll probably watch them even so. XD<br /><br />I'm not sure if I've fully identified my writing voice either. It's such an ambiguous term, isn't it--"writing voice." Keep experimenting and writing and paying attention to your tendencies, I guess. You'll get a glimpse of it yet. :)<br /><br />Yes, you said it perfectly about fading summer and about September being such a lovely month. BUT BLUE. YOU WENT TO WALES AND SWITZERLAND? I AM SO JEALOUS. That sounds sooo fun! Will you blog about it at all?Tracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-59042187693384072592016-09-06T18:18:39.820-05:002016-09-06T18:18:39.820-05:00HURRAH FOR S&S, AND HURRAH FOR LOVELY COMMENTS...HURRAH FOR S&S, AND HURRAH FOR LOVELY COMMENTS! I haven't commented on a Frabjous Finalities post in a long while either...<br /><br />They are lots of fun! Your camping out in the living room sounds like a blast too. :D<br /><br />Yesh, Owl City makes sunburns better. Absolutely. (I'M SO FLATTERED! You probably would have an accent to *my* ears, anyway. Most Americans have a slight one to me.)<br /><br />I DID. I SAW MY FIRST STAR WARS MOVIE. LOL, I kind of forgot you love them so much! BB-8 was adorable. Now I need to see all the original movies, prequels included, however awful they may be. (Though I have to admit, I was laughing and poking fun at the old-fashioned side wipes and other scene transitions TFA used. XD)<br /><br />I can definitely see why Peter Pan would be a favorite of yours! I think it may become one of mine as well, given a reread or two (or twelve).<br /><br />September is certainly a busy time for most people--but you're right, we shall persevere! We will survive! Hope your college classes go splendidly. *cheers for writing goals* (Stay alive, though, m'kay?)<br /><br />YOU TOO, DEARIE. Chocolate and books are exactly what I need, thank you. Let us know how school/college classes go for you too!Tracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-55606106703935588462016-09-06T18:00:30.113-05:002016-09-06T18:00:30.113-05:00Yours sounds full too!

Feeling yuck is a good excuse for not writing. :P It's hard to accept the fact that life can be too busy for everything we want to do--and that it's okay. Definitely something I'm having to learn.<br /><br />Thanks, and I hope your first bit at university goes well too, Sarah!Tracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.com
