YESSSS, ...Such a fun combo, yes! XD Love ya, Mary.<br /><br />YESSSS, CHRISTINE IS A MASTER OF EMOTION. I legit almost cried a few times reading Burning Thorns. :') And also grinned like a maniac and did little flaily octopus things...<br /><br />Allll the books to read! *drowns with you* I sometimes procrastinate on series, but more with the continuing of them than the actual starting of them. Like I'll start a new series, but then it takes me a while to finish it sometimes. >.><br /><br />Hehehe, I've read a number of Christine's archived posts too! XD<br /><br />I noticed you opening up for guest posts too right around this time! Brain triplets!

And Colors of a Dragon Scale sounds really cool too!<br />I know what you mean about standalones versus a series. I think when it comes down to it though, I do enjoy a series more, simply because it means more time spent with characters I adore.<br />Loved the writer's quote you shared! I've never heard that one, but it's so true. Very helpful advice.E.E.

I just can't help but laugh at the idea that I used to not have anything to read. Now, I'll never run out of material again for the rest of my LIFE. XD<br /><br />ISN'T THAT QUOTE GREAT???

LAURI ON MY TRACEY'S BLOG???<br /><br />*flaiiils*<br /><br />THIS IS LIKE THE BEST COMBINATION EVER.<br /><br />I honestly have nothing to say right now. Not sure if it's because I've commented on ten posts tonight or I'm just SO INCREDIBLY EXCITED. Probably both. XD<br /><br />(But wait, I actually do have things to say. Hehe, you're not getting off that easy. ;D)<br /><br />*clutches heart* I CAN'T WITH THAT SNIPPET. Just...wow. I seriously got emotional reading it. I really *felt* a ton of emotion in that tiny snippet of writing. You have huge talent, girl, if you can make a person feel like that.<br /><br />BASICALLY WHAT YOU SAID FOR #5. I am soooo the same way. I think I still lean a little towards standalones, but I COMPLETELY understand what you're saying! Like...that was literally me. I used to run out of things to read before the days of Goodreads, blogging, and used bookstores. Thus why I devoured series like they were candy. Now I'm drowning in books and not even sorry. XD But...yeah, I usually procrastinate on series, too, even though I love them to bits. <br /><br />Okay, wow. THAT QUOTE IS SO MIND-BLOWING. I love it when I see writing quotes like that. They just leave me breathless.<br /><br />OH MY WORD, CAELLLLL. HE SOUNDS SO AWESOME. ACK. I've gone through your post archives probably the most out of every blogger (#stalker) so I've read a lot of your old posts about characters and such, including Cael. And oh. my. word. HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S RIGHT UP MY ALLEY. Good golly, Christine, I honestly don't know how you manage to write these incredibly complex characters all the time!<br /><br />I have to agree with Tracey. YOU'RE A FRABJOUS CHARACTER CRAFTER! You really inspire me. <333<br /><br />EEEK TRACEY'S GOING TO BE ON YOUR BLOG TOMORROW?! WHAT EVEN. I AM SO EXCITED. *flails for all eternity* It's so cool that you're swapping guest posts! (Oddly enough, this is right when I opened up my blog to guest posts. So funny how things like that coincide!)<br /><br />Also, Tracey, I noticed you used those little <><><> things in the post. I started doing that on my blog not too long ago and thought it was so fun that you were doing it! Hopefully I didn't subconsciously copy you? If so, SORRY.
