Christine Eaton started the topic Shh, It's a surprise birthday party! in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
Well for those of you who don’t know today is @anne-swiftblade‘s aka Sarah van den Ham’s 16th birthday! I figured we should all celebrate this wonderful day of her birth. So throw around those hearty huzzah’s, @daeus you can supply us with all the cookies and ice cream and we’ll have a jolly good time. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Thanks, @clairec , @sarah-h , @anna-brie , @christi-eaton , @daeus , @emma-flournoy , @aella , @bluejay , for your feedback and support! 🙂
I agree with you, @jess ! That sentence wasn’t doing it for me either, but I wanted a second opinion before I did anything, so thanks. 🙂 I’ll try to rework it.
Thanks, @winter-rose . 🙂 I will post it…[Read more]

@gretald Thank you. Everyone seems to be liking my profile pic and I only put that one on, while I was looking for another. I guess I’ll have to leave it for a bit. 😀

Sarah Hoven replied to the topic Prayer Requests in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@clairec You have the coolest topic ideas. 🙂 Ooh, you’re a small group leader too?! I will definitely be praying! 🙂 *makes note in diary*
Here’s my prayer request: I might be going on a Mexico missions trip at the end of the year, and I’m trying to teach myself Spanish, but I really need God’s help learning it. Hispanic people speak so fast! So…[Read more]

ClaireC started the topic Prayer Requests in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
Write your prayer request and tag at least 5 people to pray for you (so someone definitely sees it.) If you’re tagged as a pray-er then add that person’s request to your personal list, and pray faithfully for them. And prayer-requester, don’t forget to notify your pray-ers when your request is answered, even if it’s not answered in the way you…[Read more]

Hey everyone! Let me try tagging ya’ll @spradlin @theliterarycrusader @winter-rose @overcomer @jess @dragon-snapper @hope @aratrea @clairec @anna-brie @sarah-h
I’m seeing a lot of new faces. Not a lot of the people I used to interact with when the forum began, though. Kind of sad. And happy.
So it seems like people here like the Hero’s Journey,…[Read more]

@gretald Well, since you are getting over being sick you may have some. But not too much or you’ll make yourself sick again. *Reads post above again*

What about the other people who write with me, if anyone turns up????? *groans* Oh I’ll have to invest in some more.

BlueJay started the topic Types of Poetry in the forum Poetry 8 years, 2 months ago
Okay, so I’m starting to explore poetry and the different types. The ones I have discovered, I have loved, but I’m sure that there are plenty more out there.
So this is where you can put every type of poetry. (with an example would be good).
Let me tag a few people to get this going:
@hislittlerose, @daeus, @winter-rose, @jess, @clairec, @kate-flou…[Read more] -

Julia R. posted an update 8 years, 2 months ago
@gretald– I know! It still makes me sad. Last year in American History, we watched a one-hour documentary on 9/11 for class one week. We all left class dazed and depressed. One of my friends openly cried most of the time!

@julia-r
I’m sad when I think of all the innocent people who died, and the firefighters and heroes who gave their lives trying to rescue others. 🙁 🙁 🙁

@gretald Hi Greta,
I finally have some material from the NaNoWriMo devotional for you to look over if you’re ready, but I just realized I don’t have your email to send it to you. You can securely contact me here if you’d like: http://www.thescratchingquill.com/contact/

ClaireC posted an update 8 years, 2 months ago
Current Status – boring my mother as I tell her the entire plot of my book, (over several days) complete with names, backstory, ghosts, lies, truths, Thing-your-character-wants, Thing-your-character-needs, plot twists, etc. The whole load. She’s very patient. I’m finding it very useful to verbalize all my ideas, making sure everything makes sense.…[Read more]

@anna-brie, sorry forgot the ‘@’ symbol in front of your name!

@clairec Thanks for the reminder. I’m sure I don’t thank Mommy enough for all that she does for us. I’ve begun to realize that she doesn’t have such a thing as free time; we 5 children take it all up. It’s hard for me to imagine making a sacrifice like that, every day, all my life like she has, and I really appreciate her. Three cheers for…[Read more]

@sarah-h. I call my parents Mummy and Daddy, but when I’m talking to other people, I generally say Mum and Dad.

@clairec It’s so true! My “mum” (I’m American, so I spell it “mom,” but I like the sound of “mum” more, for some reason… 😛 ) does so much for me, and I often take it for granted. 😉 Glad you’re able to sort out your plot and everything!
