Rumplestiltskin is such a layered, hard-to-read character. Every time it looks like he'll step solidly onto the good side for once, I fall for it. And then I remember that he only serves himself. HENCE THE CONFUSION. XD It's awesome.Tracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-85074171552933955392015-09-05T23:20:18.114-05:002015-09-05T23:20:18.114-05:00I agree with the corn on the cob thing, heaven.
I ...I agree with the corn on the cob thing, heaven.<br />I love 'The Last Crusade' Indiana Jones is awesome.<br />Once upon a Time is one of my favorite shows, Rumpelstiltskin gives me all kinds of character ideas.Skye Hofferthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02385765274513034927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-84099908151454449842015-09-05T15:36:01.098-05:002015-09-05T15:36:01.098-05:00That's awesome!

Even so, catching up might take me a while. MOCKINGJAY, YES. I'm on pins and needles here! ^_^<br /><br />Yay for sending in Red Hood!! That's wonderful! Do keep all your blog followers posted on how that develops. :) Writing and drawing and going to a fair sound fabulous!

(And totally worth reading, if you're looking for books. Which you probably won't be, seeing as university is starting up, and I'm sure THAT will supply you with plenty to do! :P)<br /><br />Thank you!

I love Once Upon a Time, Thor: The Dark World, Spider-Man, The Hunger Games: The Mockingjay Part 1 (CANNOT WAIT FOR THE LAST MOVIE!), and Indiana Jones. ^ ^ And yay for finishing first drafts! :D <br /><br />My summer was pretty good. Very busy with rushing to finish Red Hood. XD But now it's sent in yay! And my fall plans include ... more writing and more drawing lol and a possible trip down to a fair in my childhood town. ^ ^<br /><br />storitorigrace.blogspot.comVictoria Grace Howellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01849013182543674707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-36941594275367968952015-09-04T12:30:46.166-05:002015-09-04T12:30:46.166-05:00Well haven't you been a busy bee this month!

Except ...Temple of Doom was the worst of the bunch. Except you've got to love Short Round. XD (Yeah, you're right about the tribute thing. I guess I went into these movies expecting mere entertainment, and not any depth.) Hey, have you heard that Chris Pratt might star as Indy in the future?<br /><br />Thank you! I'm excited too! (Whew, that's good to know. Sometimes I find the perfect title instantly, and other times nothing seems to click. So knowing it's changeable is a relief!) And I can't wait to get my hands on Five Enchanted Roses--your story looks great! :D<br /><br />Ooh, I hope you get a chance to immerse yourself in Golden Daughter soon. It is positively gorgeous. I read it over the course of a week, week and a half...so not exactly one sitting, but the story was magical!

Haha, agreed. XD Although having ...It was so good!<br /><br />Haha, agreed. XD Although having Irena's overblown accent to laugh at helped a little. (I was shocked to discover that actress also plays Galadriel. Like wut?)<br /><br />Golden Daughter was amazing!! I am sorely tempted to flail over characters and allegories and plotlines right now, but I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone else. Aw, you have a baby goat? That's adorable! (My first thought was BEANA, lol.)<br /><br />Thank you! :D Hopefully the cutting won't be TOO painful... It is good practice in honing one's story and being concise.Tracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-85611854370168072692015-09-03T09:01:51.680-05:002015-09-03T09:01:51.680-05:00Thank you! *bows* It was a pretty great month, yes...Thank you! *bows* It was a pretty great month, yes.<br /><br />It's something we like to do at least once a year. ^_^<br /><br />The alien thing just felt so out of place. I mean, the ruins were pretty cool, but then you've got crystal skeletons doing some weird telepathy thing, and there's a UFO, and just... yeah. :P<br />We'll be a royal mess after Mockingjay Part 2 comes out. D:<br />YES, I DID! I bought the first season while in the States! (And those incoherent thoughts are in the email I just sent. xD)<br /><br />You'll LOVE Golden Daughter, I'm sure of it! It gave me chills.<br /><br />Thank you so much!!! <3 And thank you for being there as a Question Answerer and Idea Bouncer Offer. XD (And a Shoulder on Which to Cry.) Oh my word, that describes editing perfectly. Heh.<br /><br />Well, you enjoy your September, then! And yay for upcoming plotting! This is the last book in that series, right...? o.o I have no idea how it's this late in the year already.

I love Indiana Jones (though not Temple of Doom, and while I enjoyed Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I saw it more as a fun tribute to Raiders and Crusade than anything else. A good tribute, but not quite worthy... if you know what I mean?)<br /><br />Congrats on finishing your Sleeping Beauty story! I am so excited to read the snippets in the Show and Tell post... and read the collection next year! (Don't worry too much about your title, it's not a make-it-or-break-it sort of thing. They asked me if I'd be willing to change my title, and I liked what they came up with better, anyway).<br /><br />I got Golden Daughter for my birthday last year and still haven't had time to read it. I know I'm going to love it and I haven't had time to really SINK into it... some books are like that, you know? You just need a good 5-6 hours to devour it, and I'm not going to get that anytime soon... I probably need to level-set my expectations.Jenelle Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123087491869123579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-2380365425493576722015-09-02T17:44:07.677-05:002015-09-02T17:44:07.677-05:00You guys know how to have a fantastic campfire, es...You guys know how to have a fantastic campfire, especially with the love and tears.<br />My condolences on having to sit through alien scenes. Sure-fire way to ruin a story:Aliens!<br />But Golden Daughter- wasn't it great? I have fond memories of finally getting that book in the mail, thrilling over it, and reading it with my baby goat beside me. He left a hoof print on it. <br />Congratulations on finishing the first draft of your Sleeping Beauty story! So sorry to hear about having to cut so much out, though.

(Also, "Shakespear...I always love these posts! (Also, "Shakespearean hooey". *chokes* You're so hilarious. XD)<br /><br />Looks like August was a fabulous month. ^_^<br /><br />That is so sweet about the campfire thing. You guys are precious!<br /><br />Oooh, lots of fun movies/shows!<br />I'm not a HUGE Indiana Jones fan, but I appreciate it enough to ask "WHY ALIENS?" Um, Indian Jones collects old ARTIFACTS and things. Aliens? Seriously. Ugh. Whyyyy?<br />Mockingjay... Just the mention of it makes my heart burst into tears. *sniffles*<br />OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS. You've seen the first season of OUAT????? :O EEEEEEEE!!!!! You MUST share your thoughts with me sometime!<br /><br />These books look verrrry interesting. But most importantly here, YOU READ GOLDEN DAUGHTER. Man, I need to catch up on Goldstone books.<br /><br />I absolutely have to give you another big CONGRATULATIONS on finishing your SB story! :D :D :D I mean, that was 30k words in what? 2 months? With a bunch of days or not writing in there. That is a HUGE feat, girl!<br />I feel for you having to cut out so much. It hurts thinking of you removing all those words from that perfect story. *sniffles* But you got this! And if you have any questions you know I'm more than happy to lend a hand. ^_^ And a shoulder to cry in, because we all know "editing" is really synonymous for rocking-back-and-forth-on-the-floor-sobbing. Eheh.<br /><br />My plans for September is to...just enjoy this month while I'm still taking a writing break before diving into NaNoWriMo plotting in October. o.o HOW is it so late in the year already? HOW???Christine Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859881278385314279noreply@blogger.com
