I'm sorry to have to write it, but I'm typing it anyway, with slightly watery eyes, trembling hands, but the certainty that it's the right thing to do: goodbye. It's not forever. I love the community on WdC, and it has changed my writing forever. I'd especially like to thank Schnujo's Doing NaNoWriMo? for the kind comments and welcome on WdC. Also, I definitely owe . . . Jeremy so much for their helpfulness, knowledge and the big amount of patient reviews. I can hardly put it into words (but I can exaggerate a little!). A big thanks to Nobody’s Home , to. A gigantic thank you also to my fans and the loyal readers of my blog, as well as to A E Willcox who started the Flights of Fantasy group who’s IS REALLY THE BEST GROUP ON WdC! I will be back, I promise. Maybe in a few weeks, when the longing takes me or my life becomes less stressful and circumstances change. Maybe next year, maybe in two or three. Stay as great as you are! |

Book Review "Conceal, Don't Feel: A Twisted Tale" If you haven't joined Rach's Reading Club yet, I urge you to do so. It's not too late! I've been reading "Conceal, Don't Feel: A Twisted Tale" by Jen Calonita, a fantasy novel about what would have happened if the two protagonists of the two-part Frozen film series had never met. I bought it for a friend's eight-year-old daughter. As a writer, I could not escape the spell of the interesting book idea and read it. The book has 320 pages and is rated 4.6 stars on Amazon. The book was published on 1 October 2019. The series is a New York Times bestseller. The characters in this story are fictional. The book is based on the Disney film "Frozen". The book is mainly about Anna and Else, who live in Arendell. We see them trying to find each other. We see them struggling to come to terms with the plot as they remember what happened a long time ago. And in the end we see how it all works out. Reindeer, first love, deception, ice castles and certain phrases from the film also appear in the book. I especially like the idea of changing a fairy tale. It is entertaining to read. There is one very crucial flaw in this novel. (I don't know if this is due to the translation into German). It contains a lot of "tell", including frequent phrases like "she heard/felt/thought". I found two tense errors. For these reasons, I would give the book 3.5 stars. The plot is good, but details and scenes need a lot of work. If you know someone who is eight to twelve years old, likes books about other worlds, magic spells, winter in the middle of summer, and a separated sister, enjoys fantasy, and likes Disney movies or books with already familiar characters, I can recommend this book. |

On some days, he would like us to let him back outside. We tried that after his previous person said he was an outside cat. The truth is that he doesn't know how to use the outside world. He needs a home with humans to love him.
Are you sure the outside world will take good care of you?
