Slumdog Millionaire - it's based on a book, right? I read it last year. Q & A, it was really good.

I know from past experience there may have been something I wrote and forgot or even a string of words that's not worth losing and I'd never recreate. So glad you're doing NaNoing and finding that you can.Cuppa Joliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15917576466379786147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-815771667142225272008-11-11T10:45:00.000-08:002008-11-11T10:45:00.000-08:00My Nano book was the first novel I ever finished. ...My Nano book was the first novel I ever finished. It started out as a fantasy satire and ended up a political satire. Talk about turning off your inner editor; I think mine quit and moved to Tahiti after that. :)Carrie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14893023777471521703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-43414882371257906872008-11-11T06:54:00.000-08:002008-11-11T06:54:00.000-08:00I loved how you said, "This draft is for finding t...I loved how you said, "This draft is for finding the story, not fidning the language." In my NaNo I always seem to get caught up in the language, it was a good reminder to just get the story out!<BR/><BR/>Thanks!JordanFrasier.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345807203816779496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-44244421613171216422008-11-10T20:58:00.000-08:002008-11-10T20:58:00.000-08:00Schwag recieved Saturday!

That's a perfect description. I just read it, and I've been trying to figure out how to review it without giving anything away. Because it's definitely an amazing book, but...after finishing the book my whole perception of it changed. All I can say is that I hope Ness brings it to a better resolution in book 2.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813084292265103896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-85377163419933110892008-11-10T13:43:00.000-08:002008-11-10T13:43:00.000-08:00The Secret of Moonacre is based off of The Little ...The Secret of Moonacre is based off of The Little White Horse, isn't it? As I remember, the book's villains were atheists and when they were introduced to God, they became as good as saints. Also, the main character got married when she was fourteen. I didn't really like the book (too many blatant morals) but the movie looks really different.Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14079978162997593138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-50983196108692021592008-11-10T10:56:00.000-08:002008-11-10T10:56:00.000-08:00Slumdog Millionaire looks fantastic!Slumdog Millionaire looks fantastic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
