That's exactly why I chose it! It's absolutely my favorite track on the soundtrack. It's a magical song. That soundtrack is still to this day one of my all time favorites. All the Narnia music is just the best!Christine Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859881278385314279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-8484541901051399742014-07-05T16:08:45.718-05:002014-07-05T16:08:45.718-05:00Ummm...

But I'll only accept that amazing from you if you'll agree to let me call you amazing, too. Because seriously, Lauri, YOU ARE! :D<br /><br />Haha!! :)<br /><br />By the way, did I mention I love your post title? "Only the Beginning of the Adventure" is probably the BEST track on the Lion, Witch, & Wardrobe soundtrack!!! And.... it just sounds amazing. *happy time* Kirsten Fichterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887462858049277918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-72637958912384442732014-07-05T14:52:29.831-05:002014-07-05T14:52:29.831-05:00Eeeeeee!!! THANK YOU, KIRI! ^___^
Hahaha! Yes, it...Eeeeeee!!! THANK YOU, KIRI! ^___^<br /><br />Hahaha! Yes, it did. I went kind of mad for a while there getting those words in. Oh, what am I saying, I'm always mad! Part of being a writer, right? ;) But you wrote SotHT quicker than that, didn't you? You're quite amazing, Kiri, just so you know. And I feel the same way! It's lovely to know I have a fellow long book writer alongside me.<br /><br />Goodness, is it ever! My brain just does not like to shut off, no matter how badly I need my sleep. The curse of a writer.<br />Lol! I'm ashamed to say I've never sung while brushing my teeth, although I have been tempted. It might have something to do with the fact that my singing voice isn't something I like to fill the house with. Heh.<br /><br />THANK YOU! I'M EXCITED MYSELF! :D :D :DChristine Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859881278385314279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-21057885078850474852014-07-03T17:32:11.932-05:002014-07-03T17:32:11.932-05:00CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Lauri, I am sooooooo excited ...CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Lauri, I am sooooooo excited for you right now!! This is marvelous!!!! AHHH!!!! :D<br /><br />Ooh... 164K and 49 chapters in six months?? *wipes brow* That took some effort! I know how exhausted I was after I finished SotHT... in 198K and 75-ish chapters. You know, seriously, I'm extremely glad that I'm not the only one to do long books. <br /><br />Uggghhh... trying to fall asleep IS highly inspirational. WHY??? I like my sleep, brains. Why can't we compromise here? Actually, I've never gotten any story ideas while brushing my teeth, but maybe that was because I may or may not have been singing the alphabet twice as well as I could with a toothbrush in my mouth. Ohh... normal people don't sing while brushing their teeth? Well, how do they know how to stop then? ;)<br /><br />But... yes. I AM SO SERIOUSLY EXCITED FOR THIS STORY!!! And the fact that's it the start of a trilogy is just AH-MAY-ZING! :D *confetti*Kirsten Fichterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887462858049277918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-22315852297828961262014-07-02T21:01:08.394-05:002014-07-02T21:01:08.394-05:00*grins* I'm so glad you think so!

Well, I'll admit, that's pretty normal for me. My books always end up being MONSTERS. I seem incapable of keeping things short. It's quite a problem.<br /><br />Good luck! I find showering and trying to fall asleep just as inspirational. ;)Christine Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859881278385314279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-24451157981292622192014-07-02T19:20:33.708-05:002014-07-02T19:20:33.708-05:00 This is so so exciting!!!!

There something about..."I'm falling." There something about those two words that capture the imagination, and refuse to let it go. That's pretty much all I know about your book, besides what your lovely characters have mentioned when taking care of your blog for you, but still I want to read it so badly!!!! <br /><br />I whistled out loud when I read your final word count 164K???? That's insane!!! Go You!!! <br /><br />Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to brush my teeth, and hope for some inspiration as amazing as yours!!! :DAndrea Monsmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10785160004027759268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-18810901779304302082014-07-01T19:21:03.309-05:002014-07-01T19:21:03.309-05:00*BEAMS* YOU'RE JUST THE BEST, CELTI.
