But @kate-flournoy…no American authors? What about Mark Twain (some of the time), Serena Chase, or umm, *clears throat at Grimina’s insistence* even lesser known authors who like retelling fairy tales?

Somehow I missed that the first time around, @hope… 🙂
I was thinking more classical, so I didn’t think of those, but yes all three of tho…[Read more]

@hannah-c Yeah! Go Washington! 🙂 Hey, are you by any chance going to the Christian Heritage homeschool conference?

@Daeus: That’s so funny! No, unfortunately, I have too much going this week. 🙁

@faithdk, Cool! I’ve never had goat milk before. And yes, they tasted good. 😛

@Daeus, that’s so cool! 🙂 Where you by any chance at the Celtic Ball in December of 2015? I thought I saw someone who looked like you there, but I wasn’t sure.

Hm… you just may be surprised. Obviously nothing’s certain, but I’ve a gut feeling you just may be surprised.

@kate-flournoy, I hope you’re right…

Okay, I just gotta say it right…

That is quite funny, actually. And ‘Republican’ used to be a dirty word— now it’s the other way around. 😛

@Gretald…

-Trump’s probably going to win the Republican nomination. Sadly. Very Sadly.

Hm… you just may be surprised. Obviously nothing’s certain, but I’ve a gut feeling you just may be surprised.

@Daeus

Now if Rubio would drop out, that might flip things right around.

I cannot tell you how much I wish he would drop out— and Carson a…[Read more]

Well actually @Sarah-h, in my current novel the MC’s arc spans… eh… one two three four… four? Yes, four years, and it’s not been either annoying or unrealistic. In fact, it’s more realistic to have the character take a long time to make up their mind, because no one really makes snap decisions on that level of importance… specially when…[Read more]

Well, I’ve written 2500 of today’s 5000 words and am on here taking a quick break. 🙂 I’m writing 5000 words a day for five days (i.e. this week) so I can complete the rough draft of my novella. The story itself is going well, though sometimes I fear it may be a little slow. And writing is going well to, though there comes a point around the…[Read more]

Near Columbus (north of Delaware). What about you? @Daeus

@Daeus, true, true. Sorry. 🙂 Okay, I’ll stop now. I just need to give it back to God.

All that being said, I’m proud to be an American, and America is truly a wonderful place to live. 😀

The Ark, yes @Daeus! And we have a Creation Museum…has anyone been there? I have, twice.

Anyhow, I live in Indiana, otherwise known as the crossroads of America. And yes, lots of corn and soy beans. And some winter wheat; that’s cool to watch grow in the spring.

Another Ohioan here. Can I just say that Ohio is the most underrated state in the US? It’s really a very pretty state, and I love here. 🙂

Okay, stuff about the US…hmm…
-Trump’s probably going to win the Republican nomination. Sadly. Very Sadly.
-Hillary’s going to win the Democratic nomination. Again, sadly.
-I wish I could vote, but…[Read more]

@ivy-rose This might help as far as determining for you: http://thestorymonger.com/writing/characters/four-ways-to-take-advantage-of-the-power-of-a-3rd-person-limited-pov/
He shows the difference pretty well between Omnicient and Limited. 🙂
Awesome! We’re running a booth, so I’ll let you know as soon as I know *cough* where it is… 😛

Kale: Another little secret. I’ve had it in smoothies. I’ve also seen it in baked goods and countless other things.

Waaaaw… I’ve learned quite a bit scrolling through this topic.
See if I can’t add some facts of my own. Western Washington exclusive, mostly.
.We have rain all the time. But barely anyone uses umbrellas.
.Our beaches are rocks and driftwood.
.Coffee stands everywhere.
.And organic kombucha and kale.

I’ll probably think of some good US facts…[Read more]
