Here's a funny story (I'll try to keep under 100 words. :) ). When I saw this post, I looked at the original date: 9/16. Cool! I was thrilled to see that you had 5 pages of replies already! Wow! I did the homework and then started reading backwards. It wasn't until page 2 that I noticed that the ori...

I just saw this post and dug right in to the homework. Love this lesson! Cat Doreen focused on her book while the subway clacked through stations. The goliath hunkered beside her made her edgy, so she inched against the window and dug in. When the train sped through the second tunnel, still far from...

How exciting!!!! Thanks, Deb, Mike, and Bea! Faithwriters keeps getting better and better.

Oh, definitely. I started reading classics a few years ago - I was never brave enough to dip my toes in there before, but I'm glad I did.

Plus, there's a screen that lists bestsellers and (I think) well-reviewed books. On the Amazon Kindle page on the web, you can also find a list of the 100 top FREE books, in any and every genre. Most of the books on my Kindle were free, and through that I've read (or started) many "not so good...

I read. I read a LOT. I always have. I read from many different genres, although I quit reading romance when I grew bored with the same predictable plot. I was tricked this year and accidentally read a romance that wasn't advertised as such. :) Looking at your list of genres, I don't think I've ever...

Congratulations everyone! I forgot how fun the entire challenge experience was. I read many of those recognized above on my reading journey through the levels this week. Well done, indeed!!! After a short period of mild pouting, I'm pleased with me 19th place.

Congrats Ladies!!!!!
(and I think you mean "swept" instead of "scooped", Deb.)

..."but the theme of the story focuses on risk taking and how each of us, toddlers and adults, deals with risk in our own way. *snip* Is "each of us" plural or singular? Lillian (trying not to grow rusty during my writing hiatus :-)). I know, I know! Each is the subject, and is singu...

For brain exercise , I've recently rediscovered crossword puzzles. Great for building vocabulary, and training you think from all angles - and sometimes punnily outside of the box. And a free Boggle-like app that doesn't require internet access is WordPlay . After the game you can scroll through all...

Congratulations!

I write in first person POV a lot. I should do a count of my fiction stories and see what the percentage is. I've also written first drafts in first person, then edited to make it 3rd person. I find it's easier to "show" the MC's character by living as him or her as I write. Reading? Eithe...

Jo, I was going to thank Jan for the link to Jewels of Encouragement too. :D Thanks for the clarification that "Inspirational" isn't meant to be a devotion or a Bible study, and should be non-fiction. I had contemplated writing fiction for this one. And I always ask permission to use someo...

When I first read the topic and then your lesson, I was excited - I remember writing lots of "coming of age" stories. (I'm not sure what that says about me... ? ) But as I was reading through the ones I was sure qualified, I thought each one of them was weak in one of your "requiremen...

Congratulations one and all!!!
