Thanks, Terry. I appreciate that. Yes, the Prologue was horrifying, because I wanted to dramatize how despicable the evil sorcerer was. There may be a few more moments like that, but there will be other kinds of terrors as well.
Thanks for the feedback.
I was wondering when I saw the headline, Little Rascals 20th Anniversary, because I remembered the reruns of the 1930s shorts from when I was a kId. Then I saw you were referring to the movie, which came out after my kids were too old to want to go see it, but then I watched it on TV, or video - don't remember which, with my grandchildren. It's amazing how that works.
If I'm going to stuck on an island, I want books that will entertain me, so here are my choices.
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare
The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer
The Adventures of Huckleberry by Mark Twain
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkein
King Orthilue labored in the midst of the battle, swinging his great broadsword at one onrushing foe after another. His powerful physique was straining beneath his hauberk of chainmail and his silvery hair flowed gracefully behind him with each masterful stroke. The scars on his body, souvenirs from past battles fought along Tarolia’s borders, shone in relief upon his bronzed skin and bore silent witness to his experience as a warrior. As the fighting continued, dark crimson blotches accumula
The wizened wizard traveled at a steady pace as he journeyed through the Woods of Wildoness. Although the mission he was on was urgent, it was not so pressing that he couldn’t afford a few moments to enjoy the serenity and brilliance the forest offered the weary traveler. Each time he entered the faerie kingdom of the elves, he experienced a sense of tranquility that he was unable to duplicate while visiting any other region within Tarolia.
Beraut often found himself wandering through th
A powerful, evil sorcerer threatens the Kingdom of Tarolia and Kieren, a young half-elf, finds himself thrust into the heart of the struggle. How is he involved and what part will he play?
I'm bnot a Millennial, but I did watch some of the shows with my kids. Tried to monitor what they were watching. I'll have to see what they think of this.
Life is short, so you have to take time to smell the roses or do the things you enjoy. If not, life probably isn't worth living and it will be over before you know it. Unfortunately, most businesses feel that their upper echilon should make work their primary focus and put it above all else, as well as those whose primary focus is on the monetary rewards they'll reap, but there's more to life than work. Save up the big bucks you're making now and then you'll be able to take a less demanding job later, so you can enjoy the benefits you have earned.
I was going to say, everything in moderation, but as WL pointed out, some of the greatest authors have also been heavy drinkers. I'm not saying they were drinking or drunk when they wrote, but maybe it had to do with perspective. Also, some of their stories may have originated from the alcohol produce hallucinations. lol
Although I was somewhat familiar with those 'senses,' I just never thought of them as such. It makes sense though.
Although I agree with Ashi that empathy is important, and I wish some people had more of it, I'm not sure that would be considered a sense. Otherwise, we'd have to include sympathy and other feelings.
A true genius and enormous wit. Robin will be sorely missed. His roles varied, both on the big screen and the little screen, and surprisingly some of his most memorable roles are the dramatic ones he did. I loved him as Mork and everything that followed. RIP, Robin.
