@mnvalentine Yes! please do, they are really good! I would especially recommend his Kingfountain books.

@rochellaine History is my favorite subject! I enjoy several different time periods/places; in particular the Irish potato famine, Egypt, the 1800s, and the trail of tears. What about you?

@aratrea Yes, it’s amazing how Austin was able to…[Read more]

Thanks everyone for the welcomes! 🙂

@clairec I’ve been writing for at least 6 or 7 years, and I am from the beautiful state of Oregon.

@aratrea There is a website called the Odyssey, which is primarily a platform for college students to share their thoughts on all sorts of subjects. My school, Corban, has its own community of writers on the…[Read more]

High fives to all of my fellow homeschoolers!

@seekjustice I read all kinds of books, and it would be next to impossible to settle on one genre as my “favorite”. I have a few short stories, an article, and a book that I started to write… I live in the midwest, surrounded by trees, cows and rolling hills. Our puppy is an Australian Shepherd, and…[Read more]

@skredder Thanks! I’ll continue to look for ways I can make my story more unique.

@aratrea I’ll look forward to that video!!!

@warrenluther04 Here he is! What do you think?

Cole Avis:

As for your fanfiction, I think it might be okay to post it so long as you credit that it’s based off the Star Wars Universe. 😀 If you still have concerns, I’d ask @aratrea or @daeus about that.

@aratrea  I don’t remember right off the top if a whole thread disappears or not. If it doesn’t disappear, it would probably be on the topic list, but I think the topic itself would be completely empty.

I do remember that I had to create a completely new thread the last time it happened

@aratrea  Yep, @rochellaine is right! Outside of the topic, before Rochellaine posted, it SAID I posted recently, but my post is gone!

Spam?! Hmmm, that makes sense, actually. It’s happened about three times, and all of those times, I remember that the posts were pretty long. This one was long, too.

If it helps, here is another place where it…[Read more]

@dekreel So that’s what happened! 🙂 I got a notification in my email that you replied to me but when I went to read it I couldn’t find the post!

@aratrea I know it happened to her on my topic Character Name Exchange.

@aratrea Hm, for some reason I thought I’d posted in here. Both my post in the discussion and here somehow aren’t here anymore 😛

I’m not sure I did this right, but here goes.

Theme: Purpose in life/what to live for

Plot goal: To get back home, back to the way it was (the way she wants)

Thematic goal: To help, doing what she can in the…[Read more]

@aratrea thanks for that advice. It’s so encouraging and helpful. 🙂

@mariposa-aristeo

I’m usually attracted to an email list if I know the person and have previously read some of their work. I only have about half a dozen people I signed up for an email from. A few are friends of church that have small designing businesses, and the others are writers.

What you want to write about depends on what you’re trying to…[Read more]

@aratrea Actually, my email list subcribing is rather…rare (I only subscribe to 2 right now). I usually prefer to pop into someone’s blog once a week rather than subscribe to an email list. 😜 I don’t even “follow” blogs in the normal sense by clicking the follow button; I just save their blogs to my favorites list and regularly check them. I…[Read more]

Btw, guys do you think 3 POVs is too many?
