@Mark-Kamibaya yes, that’s a much better way to put it. Great points.

And the sinless Christian stereotype… wow, don’t even get me started on that one. 😛

I heard that Priebus is a Christian. Anyone have a take on that?

@Mark-Kamibaya ‘by their fruits you shall know them.’

In other words… I don’t think so. Same goes for Trump. I personally believe Trump was ‘over the line’, in your words, which is why I wouldn’t have voted for him (or Hillary) even if I had been old enough. But as far as…[Read more]

@SleepwalkingMK absolutely. XD

@Emma-FLournoy @Mark-Kamibaya yes, and you know why older people do that too? They weren’t raised right as kids. They never came out of that ‘everything centers around me’ stage that kids go through because no one ever taught them better.

Okay so I’m very late. Very, VERY late.
But, all the same, I wanted to say WELCOME @ethryndal to the bestistest place on the internet (I have no doubt that you’ve heard that phrase before)! 😉
There will be no judging of insanity here, as we’re all insane, too. 😛 You’re bound to fit in quite well here.
Also, TOLKIEN! YES! TOLKIEN IS…Well,…[Read more]

Oh dear. I hope no one takes you up on your Ben Carson quote @mark-kamibaya.

Though there is much to be concerned about and wondered at after these post elections, (though which era has there not been, we’re still living in this world waiting for the one to come) God’s supreme sovereignty is my biggest comfort. I often turn to the Psalms when the…[Read more]

But if his parents let him do everything he wants, then he’ll probably be selfish.

Yes. And this is another thing about writing kids. They interact with the world however they have been allowed to interact. When they’re young they can’t see the reality of everything, so if left to themselves they shape their way however it f…[Read more]

@Warrioroftherealm I’ve written one set of lyrics before. As far as the actually poetic style, lyrics aren’t really very different from most other forms of poetry. I don’t believe lyrics need to have meter, but I may be wrong. It’s also not necessary to have the exact same number of syllables in every line, but the difference shouldn’t be more…[Read more]

@WarrioroftheRealm wow, this is really not my field of expertise. 😛 I write poems and sometimes turn them into songs in my head, but as far as actual lyric writing goes, I’m afraid I haven’t got much of anything to offer in the way of knowledge or advice. I’ll let you know if I think of anything though.

@aella
Some NaNoer’s have been updating their progress here

Glad you’re back! I was beginning to wonder what happened to you! Can you believe we’re halfway through the month?!! I currently have 25,215 words, so I’m a bit behind too. Hopefully that will be fixed this afternoon 🙂

How did I miss this topic the first time around… 😛 @Lightningmouse those are fantastic. I always found it extremely difficult to master the highly stylized styles, but you did great. I especially love the newest one. 😀

@Hannah-Krynicki yup, that’s about it. Hardcore Libertarianism opts in favor of the constitutional system while ignoring the Biblical principles of morality that have made the system stand so long. They like the structure, but don’t care as much about the foundation. At least in my experience.

@Emma-Flournoy @Sarah-H not against the rules— it simply requests that no theological or political differences be the cause of ill-will or harsh words. I don’t believe for a minute either of you would do either of those 😛 , so feel free to debate if you want to.
That said, there isn’t really much point in debating politics now that things are…[Read more]

Christian. 🙂

Thank you to all for keeping this polite!

Half way through people!!!!! Keep it up! You can do it!!!!! *waves pom poms in the air*

Half way through people!!!!! Keep it up! You can do it!!!!! *ways pom poms in the air*

@clairec Amen. It’s so true! A lot of verses that speak of prayer often mention thanksgiving as well. In honor of your wonderful reminder, I do have a praise!

My grandma has to take strong pain meds to cover her back problems and all these meds make her a bit tipsy. She fell last week and was taken to the hospital with the concern of a fractured…[Read more]

Well, lord of the flies is a good example of a story about kids.

I was about to say I’ve never written a kid, but I guess I’ve actually written two. Their POV wasn’t very strong in those scenes though.

If I were to do a deep POV child character, however, I would start by looking back at how I thought when I was younger. If you don’t remember…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Yep. That Mr. Awesome. I don’t really know him very well, but I’ve been on one of his tours.

@Ethryndal, as always I’m far too late, but Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet anyway. Yes, @bluejay, I know you already said it, but I just couldn’t help myself. Hope you enjoy your time here. 🙂
