Fairy Tale Facts: Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Once upon a time, there was a old lady (or maybe it was a little girl) who found a house in the woods that belonged to three bachelor bears (or maybe it was a family of bears?).
That’s right, today we’re taking about Goldilocks and the Three Bears!

A Belated Update
Hey all!
As you may have noticed, I missed my Wednesday post this past week. I have an explanation. I’m heading to a writer’s conference this week (so don’t expect any posts for the next two weeks either).
In regards to why that means I didn’t post, well, I’m trying to finish the current draft of my novel (draft #5, for those curious). I’d like to be able to pitch it to some of the agents and editors I’ll meet at the conference. It’s getting pretty down to the wire. I’m about 35,000 words in (of around 78,000). If I put my head down and work furiously, I might just do it. Which hasn’t left time for other things, like researching blog posts or putting together videos. Sorry.
Until November, word nerds!

-Rachel
She makes a very good point. So I did what I always do in cases like this. I went to the original text. And there are three things I found that I think answer this question.
Where Artemis Fowl (2020) Went So Very Wrong
We’ve waited almost 20 years for this movie. And it was not good.

Fairy or Fae
Fairy or faery? Which is correct spelling? Is there a difference? What do people mean when they say “fae”?
As an avid fan of fairy tales and fantasy books and movies, this is actually something I’ve been curious about for a long time. But as I started to dig into the subject, the information was a lot harder to find than I expected.
