The Great Overhaul Tag!

First off, today at 1:00 p.m….

MY BABY BROTHER TURNED THIRTY!!!

*Confetti*

So Happy Birthday to my favorite brother! :-D

Now to the point of this post.


It’s tag time again, Gentle Readers! Kendra is overhauling her “bookshelf” and running a giveaway—

Why are you writing that? Anyone who reads your blog already knows. *Eyeroll*

Who let you out of your cage?!

*Sulky sideways sneer* Ask that crazy Elf chick in the yellow toga who’s obsessed with glitter-bombs and confetti-floofs. :-P

Pixie….

*Silvery laugh* Every living Creature deserves to be free.

UGH.
So anyhoo, Kendra’s set up this loverly little tag to fill out while she’s busy overhauling.

Quit nattering and cut to the chase.

I’ll chase YOU right back in your cage, you bad imp! Scram!

*Gremlin scrams*

*Snort* Now, then….

1. How long have you been following Knitted By God's Plan and how did you find me? At least three or four years—maybe longer. And I honestly don’t remember how I found your blog. Seems like I’ve just always been here, reading your posts and enjoying your style and sense of humor. :-D
2. If you've read any of my books, which? And which are your favorites? If you haven't read any, which are you most interested in? I’ve read the first three Bookania Quests, The Ankulen, Saffron’s Big Plan, The Prior Quest, The Derao, Frogs, Tears and Laughter; Water Princess Fire Prince, and Lady Dragon Tela Du. Also the first several chapters of It’s SciFi, People! and Cayra.
3. If you could redesign any of my covers, how would it look? Feel free to photoshop something, or just describe it. I have a dream
She’s got a DREAM!!!

ANTON!
Ahem. I’d like to make some fan-art covers for the Rizkaland Legends eventually. Something like this…



…but more polished. The Kastle is all wrong, and I should reverse Clara’s and Andrew’s positions, since she was in Upper Klarand and he was in Lower Klarand initially. Need to find a pic of Andrew with a cleaner face, too (but it was the only I could find with him smiling). I’m pretty proud of Amber hiding in the corner, though….
4. Of my WIP's, which are you most eager for me to finish and publish? Just off the top of my head, Worth of a King, Half-Hidden, Collinda and the Swan’s Secret, The Trilogy of One, Mermaid Footprints, Infiltration, It’s SciFi, People!; HaV Academy, Sing, Aling; The Mikada Chronicles, Tales of Ooladada (sp?), and Fire and Song. I mean, they all sound interesting, but those are the ones that jump out at me.
5. Which of my Pinterest Storyboards do you find the most intriguing? The ones relating to your WIPs, the “Would Make Great Cover Art” board, and the one with fun facts and clever tips and such.
6. Pick a fairy tale and tell me how you would like to rewrite it. I once had an idea for One-eye, Two-eyes, and Three-eyes…only instead of three sisters, they were three rag dolls our heroine finds in an old attic, that come to life when she utters a special chant…. *Shrug* That, or something to do with Snow White and Rose Red.
7. Recommend a book for me to read. The Remarkable Journey of Prince Jen, if you haven’t. Seriously my favorite Lloyd Alexander to date! Also check out The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge. Such a sweet, delightful story, very well written, with a surprisingly (mostly) balanced reverence for God and elements of fantasy woven throughout, and lots of happy endings and loose ends neatly tied up. It’s like The Secret Garden, only longer. Go read it!
8. If you and I were stranded together on a desert island, how long do you think that we would survive? It would depend on two things: How well we could work out personality differences so we didn’t kill each other (I can be a perfect…cat…in one of my Moods….), and if I could keep bananas down if that was all that grew on said island. :-P
9. What is a project that you're working on that you can't wait to release into the world? My Ýdára fantasy series and its spin-offs! I can’t wait to give you-all a “proper” introduction to Victor and Jane and Robert, and Harold and Elsie, and Lady Müriel, and Walter and Owen, Shasta and Sierra, and Huckle, and the Dragons, and Sítára, and Pearla the Unicorn, and Lady Silvertongue, and Gil the Green and his band of Yeomen (and -maidens), and Pádma and Fintána, and of course the Heirs of Dunsmüir, who currently comprise most of the Peanut Gallery on the ol’ blog….
10. What is a burning question that you have for me? Will you come and visit me someday? I’ll make popcorn! :-D Or perhaps I could visit you? In which case I’ll bring the popcorn. :-D

Well, that was fun, as always. Best wishes to Kendra as she ploughs through her overhauling. I’m sure her hard work will pay off!

Until next time, Gentle Readers,
God bless,

~R~

  1. I've been wanting and needing to track down LWH ever since its movie version came out a few years ago and it was plastered all over the internet.

    And I'd love to have a visit exchanged between us. I'll bring popcorn, too.

    1. The book is way better. The movie had its good points, but they butchered the story and did a lot of the characters a disservice. :-(

      That would be awesome! :-D

  2. I JUST READ THE LITTLE WHITE HORSE. IT WAS AMAZING. <333 (I accidentally saw the movie first, which was cute, but the book was SO GOOD.) I love Lloyd Alexander too! :)

Please feel free to leave a comment—I LOVE comments!—so long as it is God-honoring, clean, kind and coherent. Anything obscene, profane, mean-spirited or unintelligible will be deleted. As webmistress, that's my right.

...But I trust I sha'n't have to use it. ;-)
