@christi-eaton Heh, you can say that again. I don’t really think I could listen to them long term, but they’re really neat.

@christi-eaton Wow! Thanks so much. Contemporary Christian music normally annoys me because it seems to manipulate emotions rather than inspire them, but this band plays legitimately good music and I absolutely agree that their lyrics are pure poetry (as lyrics should be!).

Ok, I’m stopping just a tad early here because I edited a chapter, then read back through it to make sure it sounded right and I don’t feel like going into the next one for just five minutes. Much thanks to you both. This was a productive night.

Oh yes, I love Mr. Smith goes to Washington.

Daeus replied to the topic Ren in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 7 months ago
Her fault entirely. I used to be a very respectable pecan.
But actually, you are right. And I can go overboard sometimes, though I think I barely stopped here in time. You can’t imagine how fun this was, though.

Daeus replied to the topic Advice?? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 7 months ago
@emma-flournoy Well, I’m glad. It’s been a huge blessing to me too, having just finally got it inside my thick skull. I learned it at a farming conference of all things. The hardest part is how easy it is to slip from just being faithful to God and letting him do things through you to trying to do great things for God. The second one sounds all…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic Advice?? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 7 months ago
Sure. I might be able to help. At least, I’ve been non-stop editing for, umm, maybe six months or so and haven’t gotten tired of it.
I’d guess they’re three possible options for what’s holding you back: Depression with book in general, lack of discipline (aka, you can’t stay concentrated), or you’re too excited about your next…[Read more]

Um, honestly, I’ve never actually done it. I don’t get much spam and I don’t have a special spam folder. Adding the sender to your contacts might do it or if you mark it as not junk it might learn to accept the sender, but I’m really not sure how it’s done, just that it can be.

oh, sweet. And you should be able to mark the sender as non-spam if you want to.

Really?! How? That’d be…nice. 😉

@kate-flournoy Oh, that’s right. I forgot your practice was to send smoke signals with only your fingers and a keyboard.
I edited a chapter — 2,104 words.

@kate-flournoy Your fire starting skills are laudable. Let’s see if your writing skills can match. *wonders if I have any idea what I just did* *presses submit anyways*

Daeus replied to the topic Writers' Corner #3 in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 7 months ago
Hey, peoples! @kate-flournoy @dragon-snapper @bluejay @winter-rose @anybody I am going to write tonight. Just send me a smoke signal if you’re in.

Daeus replied to the topic What Going Out West Taught Me About Writing in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 7 months ago
Um, yes. Why didn’t you get that bear scene on video! lol
Also, I don’t know why people always say that the victors write the history books. Anybody can write a history book if they want to. It’s just the victors that control which history books get taught in the schools.
The thing I learned from going out west is that Ohio is awesome.

Hey, y’all. Just wanted to let you know that I’m not abandoning you. I’ve had a lot of unexpected trips, general busyness, and late dinners this month. The good news is though that I just talked with my parents and it looks like I’ll be able to adjust my schedule a bit so Lord willing I’ll be able to join for most of these night writing sessions.

@emma-flournoy I’ve never tried this, but if you go under the top forum categories (e.g. “general writing discussions”), there is this little blue text near the top of the page that says subscribe. If you click that, it may do what you’re talking about. Either that or it will subscribe you to every single post made under all of general writing…[Read more]

Thanks, @Rolena-Hatfield, @Daeus. I’ll try what you said, Daeus, and watch the e-mail to see what sort of notifications I get. If it works I’ll let you know.

‘kay, @Daeus, I think it’s working. The last two topics started in General Writing Discussions gave me a notification. In the spam folder; but that’s where my original notifications used to go, so maybe it’ll fix itself. 😛 Thanks.

@bluejay Hi Tessa,
Unfortunately, I’m just as busy with beta reading as I was before, but I’m ready to take the golden conch anyways. I’ll have to go through it at a slow pace, but at least I can get started. I don’t think you have my email, so if you want to contact me, you can do so here. http://www.thescratchingquill.com/contact/ -

“Certainty of death… small chance of success… what are we waiting for?”
Yesss!!! Exactly. I honestly wasn’t that impressed with Gimli in the first movie, but later on, he really started to shine. The good news though is that innovation can succeed a lot better in the writing industry than in trying to challenge a dark lord in pitched battle.
