Really? That’s neat. I guess there’s a lot of “farm folk” on here, huh? 😉
@sarah-h
Well, I’ve written quite a few different things…but I think fantasy/fiction novels are the most fun for me to write (although, definitely NOT the easiest…and I’ve never finished one 🙁 Sadly, I’ve picked up the bad habit of writing tons of book beginnings and never getting to the endings of them). I have gotten three articles concerning the protection of Mexican Gray wolves published before though -in the Santa Fe New Mexican, Salt Lake City, and Missoula newspapers. 😀

Wow! 11 years…I definitely hope I can say I’ve played for that long someday. 🙂 I took piano for 2 years, but I soon got bored with it (I naturally play by ear, and although it’s definitely a special gift, it has it’s disadvantages when it comes to learning notes) But yes, I really enjoy violin and I’m glad I have the opportunity to learn it. 🙂 …Yeah, goats are pretty fun 😉 They don’t need too big of area though, so long as you get the smaller breeds (such as Nigerian Dwarfs or Pygmies) and only have a few. Of course, it’s pretty hard not to get too many though. Haha. They’re just so cute!- Rank: Loyal Sidekick

Welcome to the forum, Faith! Prepare to be inspired 🙂 I play the violin too! @Ivy-rose when did you start playing?
Thanks, @jadamae! 😀 That’s awesome you play the violin too!
@faithdk Haha, yeah.. you’re way ahead of me on the farm thing. We mostly raise thwarted attempts. (Chickens- eaten by eagles. Sheep- attacked by dog. Cows- running away.) So, awesome job keeping goats and chickens going! *thumbs up*
That’s cool about your articles! Quite a variety of newspaper locations, too. Howdja pull that off?@writefury
Haha…Thanks. We tried cows once. Didn’t go so well either. (My mom accidentally fed them clippings from a poisonous bush that we knew the goats could eat, but unfortunately, cows couldn’t) 😛
And yes, it was so awesome the newspapers actually published one of my articles! 😀 As far as pulling it off…Well, I follow a Mexican wolves page and so I heard about some different problems going on at the time about the wolves’ protection. So, being the wolf-lover that I am, I searched for different newspapers that had been concerned about it, and decided to make myself heard! I just explained why wolves are so important to the economical system, and all that sort of stuff…. Haha@faithdk: Yeah, seems like it! So how many goats and chickens do you have? We’ve had chickens for quite a while now, but just this year we decided to try raising sheep. It’s been interesting…(we have no idea what we’re doing 😛 )
@jadamae I started playing in the fall of 2005. I was seven years old. 🙂 My brother (then 5) and I started at the same time! After seven years of classical violin, we switched to bluegrass/country/old-time fiddle. We both find fiddling SO much more fun than classical. 🙂
@faithdk – Wow, you’ve been published three times? That’s awesome! Congratulations! How did you structure your articles? I’m still trying to figure article structure out. 🙂
@Faithdk I was doing some research on goats just yesterday. Getting some is an idea one of my brothers and I have considered a bit several times. Neither of us are really animal people though, so we probably won’t do it.
@gretald
We did have 8 goats (two baby bucks were sold this morning)… so now it’s only 6. And I think we have 7 chickens. Sheep, huh? They sound fun! 🙂 And don’t worry.. ha-ha. (when we started with our goats we didn’t know what we were doing either 😉 ) So, how many sheep do you have then?
@sarah-h
Thank you. 🙂 As far as structure goes, to be honest, I didn’t really structure at all (if you were referring to outlining and stuff)… Sorry I’m not much help 😛 I really just began writing whatever came to mind, and then later I edited it. It was my first time I ever really considered writing an article, so I didn’t (and still don’t) know exactly “how”.That’s okay. 🙂 I write best when I don’t try to structure it, but I wasn’t sure if that was okay. It’s nice to know I’m not the only writer like that.
@faithdk, we have 3 sheep (we had 6, but one died and two became food…) 🙂
@faithdk, Cool! I’ve never had goat milk before. And yes, they tasted good. 😛
