What meaning would you give it, by the way?

@kate-flournoy Oh, ENJF. Plenty of weirdness in me. Especially when I’m with friends and when I go brain dead. A combination of the two is positively dangerous.

Interpretation open to interpretation. I have a gut feeling it fits though.

Ok, @bluejay, I’m gonna stop now. I was just planning to get one chapter edited tonight, and I got that done.

@kate-flournoy Thanks. It’s really too bad you can’t join us.

I think it deserves a poem

A jewel was shattered
Men gathered up its fragments
But a wind caught it up and blew it into distant places
And the world sparkled

@bluejay Just starting here.

@winter-rose A conference coming up really soon. Don’t know who it’s by actually, but it’s got AIG, Generations, the Benhams, and some others. It got packed out a while ago (partially due to the fact you got ark tickets with registration.)

@bluejay Ok. I’m stopping now. I edited one chapter which was 1,808 words.

@bluejay. Sure. I can write for a bit. 20-30 min or so.

@corissa-maiden-of-praise Mainly gut feeling actually. Rain in a drought just sounds like the type of thing God likes to do a lot. I guess on second thought though that it might depend on whether the rest of the community is praying too or maybe it seems pretty likely they’re being judged. Context can be important.

The camping issue is a little…[Read more]

Hey, is anybody going to the Noah conference?

@corissa-maiden-of-praise

So if we are sure we are right with the Lord and we ask Him for something, wouldn’t it be presumptuous to think He wouldn’t answer, rather than the other way around?

The logic here is backwards. We don’t make sure our hearts are in obedience to God’s will in every other area of our lives and then go to God and give him…[Read more]

@corissa-maiden-of-praise

Good question. I’ve actually just been thinking today how little I bring my requests to God when I should. It’s like I forget that God also has the name Father.

That being said, I know God sometimes has his people go through tough times, and sometimes what we want isn’t what God has planned. I don’t see any way we can…[Read more]

@bluejay Ok, that helps me. Let me explain my thought process here.

First off, it’s great you’re having your mom give you input. I’m sure it’s already helped you grow a lot. One person’s input though is never enough to evaluate a story fully. Sure you can’t get tons of input on every story, but here is what I would suggest. Get one story and…[Read more]

@bluejay Hmm, sounds like you have a lot of ideas that aren’t germinating. Staring at a blank page I assume? Nothing you think up seems worth writing?

There could be several problems. Let me try to feel my way here.

Do your normally edit your stories? Have you ever gotten an in-depth critique from another writer? How many times do you re-edit…[Read more]

@bluejay Eh? What do you mean by “No backbone”?

@bluejay Did some thinking about my book. No word count, but I think it will be helpful.

@bluejay Yep. Till 9’s the plan. See ya.

Would normally like to, but I actually just finished a rather long session myself.

@Christi-Eaton Hmm, looks like I can reserve an ebook collection of it from my library, so I’ll give it a try.

@christi-eaton I loved them. Loved them a ton, but I felt like the author made some really significant mistakes. First of all, the first five chapters were almost dull and I couldn’t get a really good feel for Fin like I had later on. I was also disappointed with how that french guy (I forget his name) seemed like he would play one of the most…[Read more]
