I’m back from the writer’s conference! So I’m here writing. 🙂

@ariel-ashira I’m not going to give you a cut and dried answer here, because, like everyone else said, I don’t know if there is a specific answer.

One thing I will say, is that you would probably want to stay away from the curse words which include God’s name.  Other curse words can be debatable, and I know that it’s your character saying it and…[Read more]

I’m on now.  I’ll be off and on for a little while, probably.

I guess a lot of us are haha.  Good luck!! @ariel-ashira

@ariel-ashira, that’s awesome haha.  The extent of my research tends to be around things like whether or not you can boil emu eggs or not.

Unfortunately, I have not.  I really do plan to, eventually, but yeah- that mainly means I have to actually finish one first haha.  Which I haven’t, so. . I haven’t.  My problem seems to be that I can’t wor…[Read more]

Nice haha.  I could never put as much time or effort into research as is needed for accurately portrayed historical fiction, though I wish I could haha.  Oooh, I like dystopian.  One or two of my WIPs are dystopian, though I haven’t worked on them in a while.

I’m not so disciplined as you, heh. 😛  I just write whatever pops into my head; so I h…[Read more]

Hey, @ariel-ashira!!

Yeah, I’m not sure I remember you either haha.  So it’s good to meet you.  But thanks hha.

Well, I write whatever pops into my brain.  So I guess anything except romance haha.  Though I have been writing more thriller-themed things as of late?  Or I guess poetry, if that counts haha.  How about you?

@ariel-ashira Everyone’s answers were good, but what Seekjustice said is true. We can give you a bunch of tips and our opinions, but really it’s a matter for your conscience and personal prayer. I hope the answer comes to you soon! 🙂

@ariel-ashira

I honestly think this is a matter for your conscience. Some Christians feel comfortable writing/reading books with swearing, others don’t. I personally choose not to add in curse words because I just don’t see the point. I think it also depends on who you’re writing for. Middle grade, for example, I don’t think should ever have…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira  Personally, curse words don’t bother me in books until they are misused or used too often. That being said, I don’t generally find curse words very offensive, as I’ve grown up around several people who cuss. This summer I visited Ireland, and they cuss constantly! If I were to describe that experience though, I don’t think I would…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira  Xonos Darkgrate once made a topic about swear words. Maybe it has what you’re looking for, maybe not. . . See how it works for you! 🙂

@ariel-ashira

Hmm I’m not too sure about this myself.

I understand wanting to make sure that your dialogue reflects reality. I suppose one way to include such swearing without stumbling others is to make sure that you are simply portraying the swearing as part of the characterisation but not as a good or acceptable thing.

In actuality, I don’t…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira

yes we lost a guinea pig in the spring. we’ve actually lost three over the last few years, two of them due to using the wrong bedding for their cage. We didn’t know that pine bedding wasn’t good for their respiratory system. 🙁

@ariel-ashira

Oh, that’s so sad! We just had to put our pony down so I know what it feels like. I’ll be praying for your sister and your family.

@ariel-ashira Of course I’ll be praying; I know how it feels to lose a pet. I hope you all will feel strength and comfort.

I’m glad there were no lasting effects from her concussion.

@rochellaine I’m afraid I’ve missed you. 🙁

@seekjustice @valtmy @alia @ariel-ashira @catwing @dekreel Anyone else wanna join me?

@rochellaine You still on?

@ariel-ashira @dragon-snapper @seekjustice @alia @catwing @valtmy @daughteroftheking Anyone else wanna join?

@rochellaine @jenwriter17 @valtmy @dekreel @ariel-ashira @catwing

I’ll be here for a little bit, trying to write a blog post!

(also, if you’ve ever wanted to know anything about my book, let me know! I’m trying to come up with some random pieces of trivia and I’m finding it difficult…)

@ariel-ashira @catwing @alia @seekjustice @jenwriter17

Thanks guys for your prayers. I’ve been coping better the past two weeks 🙂

@ariel-ashira @devastate-lasting

Praying!

@seekjustice @rochellaine @alia @ariel-ashira @catwing @valtmy @kaya-young @dragon-snapper @dekreel

Anyone on? I’m writing blog posts and outlining my WIP.
