I like the title MIRRORS AND ICE. It sounds perfect for a fairy tale. I have to say I love the sounds of this Gilmore Girls + Anne of Green Gables story you've started drafting. Awesome!

I need to read We Were Liars.<br /><br />I love accidental novels. Sometimes the ones that pour out of you from nowhere are the best! I've been trying to write a contempary just to have a side project between drafting and edits for my UF series, because building two magical or fantasy or space worlds at a time would kill my brain, but I'm so bad with contemporary plot if I can't just throw monsters at people. :/ Yours sounds awesome. I'm a fan of the Gilmore Girls. Go you!<br /><br />And congrats on putting your story up! I'll read it when I get a chance. Yay!<br /><br />Have a great week!Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09120209983193331167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937331476416670636.post-84201778920917701562014-07-09T13:52:15.044-05:002014-07-09T13:52:15.044-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Simply Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562206323308418937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937331476416670636.post-51441588155343695462014-07-09T13:50:00.419-05:002014-07-09T13:50:00.419-05:00Thank you!Thank you!Simply Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562206323308418937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937331476416670636.post-79691253087711488112014-07-09T13:49:46.991-05:002014-07-09T13:49:46.991-05:00I don't have cable but I watch The Mindy Proje...I don't have cable but I watch The Mindy Project on Hulu. I really enjoyed the book! She is so smart and witty. I'm reading A Tale of Two cities because on of the books for my reading challenge needs to be a book I hated as a child... I loved classics when I was a kid and I hated that one. I never even finished it. I'm hoping I can make it though this time around. The only other Dickens I have read is A Christmas Carol and I liked that one a lot.

As for your writing - wow, 50 chapters?! That's still 50k words but, somehow, dividing up that writing into a large number of chapters makes it sound more impressive. What's your Wattpad username? I'd love to read that story you've posted there :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937331476416670636.post-36423183966693393032014-07-09T13:41:28.889-05:002014-07-09T13:41:28.889-05:00Have fun reading all the books for your summer cha...Have fun reading all the books for your summer challenge ^_^<br /><br />50k is fantastic!

Anyway-- I enjoyed it. And Tale of Two Cities-- what a book. I was supposed to read all of that in school but couldn't get into it then. I finally went back and read a lot of Dickens. Wow. My favorite is a tie between David Copperfield and A Christmas Carol. Have a great week!KatOwens: Insect Collectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12228171304170449979noreply@blogger.com
