A dystopian novel! You've got to have guts to take on something like that. I know I wouldn't, merely because I'm not that creative nor bold, but if you are keen, then GO FOR IT! What I just read here makes me feel sure it will turn into something great. :)<br /><br />~Miss MegAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-61301013714581805642017-03-08T19:19:38.477-05:002017-03-08T19:19:38.477-05:00Haha, yeeeaaaahhhh . . .

I seriously love both ideas,and I would read both of them in a heartbeat. Especially the Susan one. GAH THE FEELS. So please keep writing these, really.

I feel like they'll be able to see me through anything!<br /><br />Also I have the most amazing job that I am loving so much. I get to take photos for my school newspaper. It is so much harder than it looks, getting all the right angles and writing cutlines and such. But I'm learning so much and am getting really good at it! It's a student-run newspaper, so my bosses are students as well. They're really awesome people to work with. And so are the other people I work with as well!<br /><br />Things are so good :)Rosie McCannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10756806467175885197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-29327684221946469322017-02-25T16:57:38.437-05:002017-02-25T16:57:38.437-05:00*hugs* I WILL.

I'm excited about it, too; I do hope I'll buckle down and start to actually write it sometime in the not-too-distant future. <br /><br />The storyboards do make me happy, yes -- there are so many awesome quotes out there that were really applicable!

You need to write them. <br /><br />They're both going to be amazing and the world NEEDs them. <br /><br />Also, can I just say, I LOVED what you brought out about Edmund there--that he's the most truly empathetic of any of the Pevensie siblings? Because he IS. He totally is; and yet we never really notice it somehow . . . ? But yeah; as much as I adore Lucy, she doesn't exactly have the capacity for understanding *why* Susan, or anybody else, would have trouble believing in and accepting joy. Because Lucy's so much the opposite of that, just the way she naturally is. But Edmund WOULD understand, and he wouldn't judge, either . . . *wipes tear* Gosh, I'm getting all emotional just thinking about it. <3 Katie Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818413749107653398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-47175973895233104382017-02-22T17:32:02.311-05:002017-02-22T17:32:02.311-05:00Ohmygoodness!!

I saw "Pinterest" in the title and thought, "Oh, well I don't do Pinterest so this won't really be a post for me." WHAAAT?!! I couldn't have been more wrong. This is JUST the sort of post for me. ;)<br /><br />Seriously, Olivia, these stories sound SO wonderful. I'm getting really, really excited about your Susan Pevensie story. Those snippets, though. Eeeek! "Of all the siblings, Edmund had always seemed to understand Susan the best. In point of fact, though, Susan reflected, he had always seemed to understand each of the siblings better than the others did." Aww. *Melt my heart* I LOVE Edmund!! And what he says to Susan about the "isms". Oh! Well done, Ed! :D And that last paragraph. It's so beautiful and sad and...oh! poor Susan. *sob* <br /><br />WRITE THIS STORY, OLVIA!! PLEEEASE! I really want to read it. (And I'm not just saying that. I mean it!) I love your storyboard. The pictures and quotes are excellent. This quote in particular really gets to me: "Because we never stop loving silently those we once loved out loud." Oooooh. This book is going to make me cry! (Which is okay, actually, because I like books that make me cry. :)) I love how you're planning on having lots of flashbacks and memories because...then you can get the other kids into the story, too! And that's just splendid! :D<br /><br />Okay. *deep breath* Your other story. Goodness me, girl. It sounds SO good. Wistful and sad, and yet hopeful, too. "When I stopped to consider our acquaintance, I often realized that, in spite of every rational expectation, she was more full of love and joy and peace than anybody I had ever met before." Ach! That's beautiful!! And I love the last bit, too. --"So does He," she responded quietly.-- SO. GOOD. <3<br /><br />God has definitely given you a gift for writing, Olivia. And it's going to be so neat to see how He uses that gift to bless people and further His kingdom. Love you, friend! *hugs* Miss Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03088465083055515308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-12782512202475336392017-02-22T17:28:21.273-05:002017-02-22T17:28:21.273-05:00Very nice!

"The Hated" sounds interesting, though my mind is spinning questions about how every person on the planet could all want the same person dead and so on. <br /><br />But either way, very cool that your desire to write fiction is returning!Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.com
