*this is a quote* “I heard a story once about two farmers who desperately need rain. And they both prayed to God for it. But only one went out and prepared his fields for it. Which one do you think trust God to send the rain?” (This is from Facing the Giants) 🙂

Is constantly praying for something a lack of faith? God…[Read more]

@corissa-maiden-of-praise Ooo, that is a tough question. Hmmm…

I could argue for both sides, so I guess I’ll start by asking is it a Biblical idea that preparing for an answer to prayer is a sign of faith. Or is it a sign of presumption?

I’ve not studied this but I think assuming the answer is a bit presumptuous. After all, when we’re asking…[Read more]

@ClaireC please don’t think I’m ignoring you. I’ll read this eventually; it’s just I’m incredibly busy lately and don’t have time for much extra. When I do read it, you may be sure I’ll tell you what I think. 😉

@Jess I’m contemplating reading it as well. Right now, I’m in the middle of reading the Fellowship of the Ring for the third time. 😉

@clairec Wow, I loved it! Great with the characters and the story! Keep writing because you’ve got a gift from God. 😉

@ClaireC

Oh, that’s sweet. 🙂
I read the poem—nice job with his thoughts in the story matching the sentiments expressed in the poem.

Excellent! Well written, and in a way that visualizing the scenes was not hard at all. I could almost taste the dust at the ranch, see the joy mingled with sorrow on his mother’s face as he grew, and feel the tension as Bert reached for his gun. That is one of the best signs of a good writer in my opinion. 😉

Actually @clairec I haven’t heard of Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels. *Must look it up*
But OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! That’s an awesome story. Nearly made me cry. I was just to hooked to let the tears get in my way. I…well…I really don’t know what to say. It was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done. 🙂

@jess Yes, he does know why he doesn’t want to be king. Very simple; it’s a boring job. It would be much more fun to be out fighting dragons and saving princesses in distress. 🙂

@daeus. After much careful thinking and all of that kind of stuff, here are my answers to your questions.

Do your normally edit your stories? No. I give them to my Mum.
Have you ever gotten an in-depth critique from another writer? No. Let me rephrase that. I just got one. Still haven’t looked at it.
How many times do you re-edit a story? As…[Read more]

@daeus No support. No reason. No plot. No excitement. Does that help you understand it?

Well I was writing about a king who didn’t like being king. But I got stuck so I’m using Word Lists to write a short story. You can check out the lists here We are up to the third list if you are interested.

Hmm I just found out that I made a few mistakes in the list above.
So anyone who is doing it (@his-instrument) take out one of the “approximately” and harass and accomplishment 🙂

You still going @jess?
