@bluejay Sounds like you’re doing a writing contest. Are you?
Five to eight years old. Well, what is really interesting to five to eight year old kids? What grips their attention? If you have a story with kids their age then that is always a plus. I like reading kids books when the kids interact with other kids a lot. And realistically. Also,…[Read more]

Oh dear… children’s stories are NOT my area of expertise. I’ll let you know if I think of anything, but most of my ideas are ridiculously hard to simplify into something like that. 😛

Snapper replied to the topic Children story ideas in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 12 months ago
@bluejay Well, are you going to be doing a story in modern times or back whenever? That’s the first question you should ask yourself. Then, whichever time frame you decide to use, think what some problems a child might go through are in that setting. That’s if you want to come up with anything…just a starting point.
As for ideas, I’ve got…[Read more] -

@bluejay Thanks! Google Images. 😉 I really should get a pic of my own instrument. 😀
I have this bunch of cards with cats (:3) with fun sayings on them, and I change it every few days, and sometimes I use the really profound ones (see above) or the really funny ones as mood bars and things like that on profiles. 😀 -

@bluejay When I said very sick, I meant I had what seemed like the flu, but wasn’t, and it just lingered for ages, it was weird…
Well, no, technically, I do fiddle on the piano sometimes (though for the life of me I can’t read music and translate to piano like I can for violin XD) I have also learned some guitar chords (I used the app called…[Read more]

@perfectfifths I don’t think it was horrible, but when scanning it fit my younger brother to read, I saw a few instances in the later books.
@bluejay, I should get me some of that. I was using sticky notes for my brother, and that was getting messy!Alright, I’m going to bed as it’s 2:30 here…..

@jess Really, swearing? I can’t imagine that in what I read (but like I said, I’ve only read the one so far) :O Thanks for the warning!
@bluejay An Aussie greeting would be “G’day!” XD but I’ll take the hugs! *returns virtual hugs*

Anne of Lothlorien started the topic Quote That in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years ago
So this is a fun game my brother and I play a lot at home. One person says a random line from a movie or book and another person has to ‘quote it’ or give the source of the quote. The person who gets it right gets to do their own. So here’s the first one.
“I would never have dreamt of depriving you of your moment of triumph. Alas, a moment was…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy This is kind of like, really cool to be on at the same time as someone else. It’s like I’m having a real conversation.
Everyone else, is there anyone in your family that you have based a character off of? My only one would be my cousin’s cousin, Hans, who is 15. He’s a guy who would try and jump a fence to see if he could and end…[Read more]

I live in Idaho, so Thanksgiving is actually the 24th, but we were celebrating it one day earlier because my Dad is working the night of the 24th.

I have a prayer request, a family friend was diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer five years ago. He’s outlived everyone else he knew with stage 4 cancer when he was diagnosed. Things aren’t looking to good right now, and he’s trying to hold on for his family. (He’s a Christian.) He has a four year old daughter, and a one year old baby.…[Read more]
