If you clicked on this topic because of the interesting title, I feel obliged to tell you first off that this is not about the practice of fire starting 🔥
Sorry to disappoint you, but, please, stick around!! 😉
Today I have a simple question for y’all:

Lydia S. replied to the topic Me idea in the forum Plotting 2 years, 6 months ago
Lovely story idea! Honestly, aside from the tropes Joy and Daisy mentioned, it sounds unique to me! And, like they also said, even those tropes are common, they are still incredibly enjoyable (Honestly, the more I think about it, almost every story has a “chosen one” of some sort, even in the Bible). So, in my opinion, you’ve got a great…[Read more]

@faith-q Oh that sounds like such a cool idea!! I have read one book by Jennifer A. Nelson called “Mark of the Thief”. You might enjoy it, although there is some Egyptian mythology stuff in it. But it’s a good book and sounds kind of up the ally of your book idea! (Although not too similar, it just reminds me of it haha)
I really like that book…[Read more]

Have I been too busy to be on the community lately?
Yes, but before you critique me, I have things to present.
My book is coming out. The Reflections, the story I’ve lived and breathed for the past three years, is coming to your nearest online bookstore.

Hi everyone!
As you may remember, I recently started my blog. Many of you have subscribed, and I’m so grateful for that!
However, I’m struggling a little bit right now trying to learn how it all works. I’m quite new to the blogosphere, so I don’t quite understand some things, or I’d like advice on how to do them better. For example:…[Read more]

Okay, @faith-q, I have a story for you. Let me tell you of the time I knocked a container with a dozen cupcakes in it on top of a ladies head.
It was my older sister’s birthday. She and I were flying up to Washington state for one of our cousins graduation. My mom, who is a baker, made my sister some cupcakes to take with her on the flight. Well,…[Read more]

WOooOo Imma love this topic XD
I have a few, as it does indeed come from being slightly sheltered that one may say something not as innocent as they thought.
For example, I was texting this friend I had (not too long ago) and we were talking about life and stress and work stuff. And I asked if he was working all the weeknights.…[Read more]

This literally happened to me a few minutes ago.
I was being silly, and holding my Mum’s morning tea muffin aloft on a plate like Rafiki holds up Simba, while chanting The Circle of Life. I caught Mum’s attention as I held said plate aloft with two hands, and she gave me look like — as said by Adrian Plass — I’d announced a pig was d…[Read more]

We’ll, right now I can’t think of many actually funny stories which would make sense out of context, which is annoying as I know of many.

Well. . . let’s see 🤔. Do I have any good stories? There was that time at church (I was maybe 10-12) when I was helping the teacher (my mom) with a lesson. The theme for that quarter was like wild west, and we had WANTED posters for “people” (Rebellion, Laziness, Hate, Ect.) I was supposed to play the part of the outlaw Rebellion. I was…[Read more]

Hello, one and all! For those of you who are newer, we used to have some topics called “Writer’s Corner” or something like that, but I’m far too lazy to search for the previous ones or consult how many of these we have been through, so we can just start a new one.
