I actually wrote a poem about why I write:
Words of Life
Words are nothing,
Unless I make them something.
Words speak love or hate,
Bring people together or isolate.
Words hold the power,
To help people stand or cause them to cower.
Words force some into a hole of depression,
And leave them alone in this cruel condition.
Too many works…[Read more]

@Jess That doesn’t sound bad at all. It’s not a sin to be depressed. I have a cousin who had depression for a while, and she’s a Christian. Following Jesus doesn’t mean that we aren’t going to have hurt and hardships in our lives, so I don’t think it’s “wrong” to be a Christian and be depressed. Jesus didn’t look down at you and think, “Why is…[Read more]

@Bluejay Unfortunately, with school starting and everything, I’m going to have to sit this one out. 🙁 And you’ll do great as the club manager, so don’t worry. 😉

@Jess that’s not terrible at all. I’ve never really struggled with depression, but I completely understand how writing could be an escape, and that’s okay. It’s good to get away now and then. Even if it’s only a virtual vacation. 😉
Not to mention writing can almost be therapeutic— as @Spradlin said, if I haven’t written for longer than normal…[Read more] -

Woah, that’s overboard, but it does sound very fun.
@Daeus I never do anything by halves. 😀

Yes it did. Hurray. @daeus.
I know it’s hard to read but, if you wouldn’t mind, I’d love it critiqued. (Maybe I should have made a new topic for this. Never mind What’s done, it done) 🙂 -

@Daeus oooh, yes. Physical aspects of worldbuilding are crazy fun. All the different flora and fauna… I’m actually going to have to start filling a whole notebook with just made-up herbs and their medicinal/superstitious/mythical uses and history. 😀

@daeus ‘You were wise to seek help from the world most deadly weapon. It’s me.’ Golden star to whoever gets that quote. 🙂 I’m looking at you @bluejay.
A procedure…we-ell.
1. World-building. First thing you’re gonna do is make a map of the world you want. Then, you make a profile on each country including major cities and places that have to…[Read more] -

@bluejay I wrote 272 words. Not as much as I would have liked, but I did make it to chapter 16. Considering I started the novel only two months ago, that’s pretty good. *looks at chairs and phone, decides to be nice and not melt them*

@dragon-snapper I’m leaving now. Didn’t get much done in fifteen, just dabbled around with a poem. 🙂 How’d you go?

Two more people to notify. (Somehow I missed them.) @rolena-hatfield and @anne-swiftblade. We are voting on a book if you want to chuck in your preference.

@Daeus That’s awesome! I’d definitely recommend Lord of the Rings. It’s some of the best fantasy out there. 🙂 Or, if you didn’t want to read the whole series as it’s pretty long, you could read The Hobbit. The Wingfeather Saga is also great fantasy.

Ha. The whole point of rewriting is to make the editor’s job easier. 😀
