The first two stanzas are great, but the second one needs a little tweaking. I’ll probably be back sometime tonight. Gotta do some writing.

Oooh, hm… let’s see @bluejay…

‘I hammered into Google
‘Christian writing teens’;
It brought me to this awesome site—
The website of my dreams.

Excitedly I clicked the link,
and had a look around.
I eagerly perused the forum
and squealed at what I found.

I signed up straight away;
of this site became a member.

@Hannah-c, Thank you! 😀 🙂 😉

@kate-flournoy I know…it’s so depressing. I still can’t believe Cruz and Kasich dropped out. 🙁 I just have to remember that God’s got it under control. *sigh*

Good thoughts, @Daeus.
I was… it hurt. I was so disappointed. It’s difficult to remember that there have been political disappointments in the past, and America survived them.
But there have been—Ronald Reagan, for instance. He ran like this, and lost under pretty similar circumstances, and the next time he ran he won in a landslide. So…[Read more]

That’s great. I agree with you all. So let me put it this way. Here is a topic “Kingdom Pen” Let’s write a poem together. Someone else start as I’m terrible. Write what you can and someone else will join their verses on… and so on. Does that make sense.
@gretald @ingrid @overcomer @daeus (I do agree that the poem was pretty terrible. 😛 )

@Hannah-c Thank you! Yes, it’s actually a lamb. XD

@bluejay I like the topic for the poem! 😉 However, I agree with @Daeus that there isn’t really much rhythm to the poem…I would work on the meter and rhythm a bit and go from there. Great idea for a poem, though! 🙂

@hannah-c I don’t know if I can concentrate for three hours, but I should be able to handle 1 1/2.

@hannah-c I’ve been wanting to write more during the day. Maybe I’ll join you.

What exactly is it you’re looking for @bluejay? If you want to bring this thing to perfection, it’s gonna take a lot of work. First of all, there’s not much form to it – just two sets of rhyme and no real meter to speak of.

You can do free verse that doesn’t have these, but then you’ve gotta really use some juicy words in your poem and jam pack…[Read more]

Okay let me tag a few people to get this going. Let’s see who’s good at poetry. @overcomer and @daeus I know you two for definite. C’mon people.

@hannah-c Oh, also, Tessa, Kate, and I regularly do this for an hour every night from 8:00 (ET) – 9:00. The only exceptions are that it’s just on weekdays and on Tuesdays, Tessa can’t do it at the normal time, so I’ll do it and then post my word count and she will do it later and post her’s. Also, Tessa and Kate aren’t doing it this week, but I’ll…[Read more]

@hannah-c Tessa pretty much said it. It’s a time commitment. If it were a word war, I’d lose every time unless I wrote so fast I ended up with junk. The goal is just not to loose focus the whole time. That can be hard if you are writing for an hour, but with this, you have accountability so you really have to stay on track. It works. You can also…[Read more]

@hannah-c No it’s not quite a word war. What you do is tag someone and set a time to write for; half an hour, hour etc. It helps you stay focused and stops all those annoying distractions. When you have finished your time you can post how much you got done.
WARNING: @daeus doesn’t like high word scores. So if you do write with him. Just tell him…[Read more]

I was once writing a story and an old dog died in the fist half. The grand-daughter of the dog’s owner asks him, “Will Bess go to Heaven, Grandpa?”
Bill tried to smile down at her. “Do you think she will?”
Wendy pondered the question for a bit. “She was a good dog,” she replied. “So yes I think that Jesus would like to have her in Heaven.”
So…[Read more]
