The Stand was one of my favorite of his books but I remember it was really intimidating to see how many pages it was. A lot of his books are like that. I remember feeling the same way about The Tommyknockers although that wasn’t nearly as good.

I remember going through phases where it would take me forever to get through a book but now it seems that’s all I’m able to do is read lol I hope you both enjoy Final Girl. Like Julie said, it’s not the best thing ever but I found it enjoyable and kind of funny.

I think you’d both enjoy Good Neighbors as well.

I loved The Stand!  I've only read it once because it's so long, but it was one of my favorites by King.  It did take me some time to get into it, but once I did, it was absolutely worth the read.  It's epic!

I'm still slowly working my way through Final Girl.  I'm like you, Steph, where lately I've only been reading a few pages a night (and not every night), so it's taking me way longer to read than it should.  It's not the best book I've ever read, but I'm enjoying it.

I'm feeling more confident that it will actually happen this year.  I saw they're going to appear on the Kelly Clarkson show this spring, so something must be in the works.  Hopefully more European dates are on the way, too!

I'm sure our old stories all have that "beginner" quality to them, regardless of how old we were when we started writing.  And I still write childish stuff sometimes, like my pandaskunk stories - but that can be fun!

I do hope you all get to see the DNA tour this year.  I can't believe it was June 2019 that I saw the show, it was amazing! 

When I look back at old stories I cringe at how childish they are, considering I was probably in my early 30s when I discovered fanfics and started writing lol.  I like to think I've matured a bit now

I'm currently reading The Stand by Stephen King.  It took me a while to get into it as I only tend to read a few pages a night, and it's a massive book, but I'm enjoying it now.  It will probably take me ages to finish though lol

I've got a sample of The Final Girl, so will read that one once I'm done as it sounds like I'd like it.

Any updates on how the site work is going?  I'm still holding out hope that we may be able to post stories again here someday.

I say "meem."

How interesting. I pronounce it with the same a sound in bank.

Meme is the other word that people seem to pronounce different ways. I say meh-um but I know a lot of people who say mee-‘em. 🤷‍♀️
