@gretald Really? That would be perfect! Can you ask them if they’d be willing to suffer interrogation by a slightly weird American?

It’s a beautiful day, no matter the outcome of the election- because we know where our true citizenship lies. Thanks for the reminder, @gretald

@gretald Hi Greta! I’ve noticed how much and how reverently you talk of God on Kingdom Pen; I really want to be like that too, but it doesn’t come as easy for me anymore. I was wondering, what do you do to cultivate your relationship with the Lord? I’m sorry if this is too personal a question; you certainly don’t have to answer if you don’t want…[Read more]

Yes, let’s all pray for America. Good to be reminded, @Gretald.

Thanks for the reminder, Greta. So many people are afraid today, but I know God is in control.

Yes! Please take a minute (preferably at least five minutes) to come before the Throne and find rest in His peace. We don’t have to worry because we know that God has everything under control. Maybe, through some mysterious twist of fate, this election will improve America. However, sometimes, it was God’s plan for the Israelites to be defeated.…[Read more]

Amen @julia-r! Thank YOU for reminding me. I’m trying to rest in the Lord, but it’s so hard not to worry. I know that God’s got this. 🙂

Help!
So, like all of society, I’m a busy person. And when I do get free time, I don’t feel like writing, or I forget that writing is an option (gasp!) . Therefore, I have probably five unfinished novels on my computer, because when I look at them again, I forget exactly where I was going with my story, conversation, or characters. What should I…[Read more]-
Well, 1st off, I suggest reading through your work to get the feel of it, then maybe read through any notes you took. That should get you warmed up.
2nd, you should remember how much fun it is to write, why you write. You seem to be lacking inspiration and/or motivation. Give yourself a little reward for writing something, like a little bit of…[Read more] -
Hi Julia,
Five novels sounds like a lot. If you’re having trouble writing, you should probably shave it down to just one. Maybe you really really prefer jumping back and forth in-between novels, but, in that case, I would still only do two. Hopefully then you’ll be able to remember where you last where.
Your best motivation (and reminder) will…[Read more]

So I know we have bits of this in Writer Corner #3 and other threads, and if you want to see if other people will write with you, do that on the Writer Corner please. This thread is for telling people your story’s name, genre, and how far you’ve got, cause some of us( or maybe just me) didn’t actually sign up on the website and therefore cannot…[Read more]

Just as a reminder, if you have any personal questions you want to ask Daniel, Anna, and I, we’re filming the video tomorrow, so now’s your last chance! So if you’ve ever wanted to know what we’re really like away from the camera, or what dark
blackmailsecrets we may have on each other, now’s your chance. 😉 -

Sweet. Now I guess I have to register 😛
Be forwarned though. Meeting people from online is probably my greatest fear ever, so we’ll just have to hope I don’t shut down and lose all social skills whatsoever.

@his-instrument I talked with my dad and I can do the 7th, 21st, and 28th of January.
Btw, @gretald @ingridrd @winter-rose @kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy, Is anyone going to the celtic ball? I actually don’t know if I’m going myself, but I normally do so I assume I am.
-
@Daeus never heard of it. Probably won’t be able to come because pretty much any out-of-the-ordinary activity doesn’t work when we’re really busy with cabins, but what is it, where is it, and when is it held?
Anything Celtic sounds fascinating to me… 😀-
Ha! Yes, they even have a bagpiper.
So to summarize this: it’s held in Deleware, it’s for homeschoolers, they do mainly traditional dances though I think there are a couple American ones, it’s fairly formal though not super-so, and it’s held every December and then also in the spring and they just started doing one in the summer too (though that…[Read more]

Live bagpiping! That must be fun. 😀

If you would like to go to the Celtic Ball, there is another ball in the spring, too. Just register early because it fills up VERY quickly. 🙂

I am going @daeus! See you there? Maybe? There are so many people there that it’s hard to find anyone. 😉

*chuckles* Yeah. Well, you have a few hours at least.

@daeus I’ll check with the other Ohio folks and see if those days will work for them, too. I’ll let you know about when the next Writers’ Gathering would be.

@Gretald The best thing since ICE CREAM? Seeing as this is you talking, you must like it well. 😉 Here, you can have a cane, long overcoat, and top hat for your appeasement.

@gretald Thanks for the dares! I’ll try both. The ice cream one will be quite unpredictable (but that’s the best kind of story, right? 😉
@hannah-krynicki Thanks for the dares 😀 They’re so interesting, I think I’ll do both. I like that last one a lot 🙂 -

@gretald Awesome! I loved seeing the reconstruction of what it might have looked like.
@sleepwalkingmk Write about a person who pretends to be blind for one day because… I’ll let you decide why.
Or write from the perspective of a writer’s computer on the day she kills a character.

To all concerned: So sorry some of you can’t make it! @gretald, @daeus, @kate-flournoy, @emma-flournoy, I will definitely be having these in the future. I am looking at January, 2017 for the next possible one. It would be a Saturday from 10-2 just like this one, probably the same location, too, so if you are interested, tell me what days work for…[Read more]

I invited her to join, but I don’t know if she has. Do you want me to forward the invitation to her?
I’ll have to check out my schedule for January. Get back with you soon.-
If you can forward the invitation that would be great. If she wants to come hang out with a bunch of random strangers, we’d love to have her. 🙂 Hope your Bible bee is successful. I’ve never done Bible bee before, but it sounds like fun. How has your experience with it been? What are the requirements?
-
Ok, good. I’ll let her know about it.
As for the bible bee, I highly recommend it. The competition is very helpful in keeping me to a consistent schedule. Only problem is 18 is the age limit, so this is my last year. There’s a local and national competition (for qualifiers) testing both memory of passages and knowledge of the focus chapters of…[Read more]

@dancefree7
Thank you so much for this kind comment! This is about the nicest thing anyone has ever told me. 🙂
I honestly totally understand that it sometimes is difficult to talk about God in a public setting. It’s easier online than it is in person. God’s just been teaching me lately that I should be willing to bring Him into my…[Read more]
Thank you so much for that. I wish I had a friend like you in real life (well, not that this isn’t real life…someone I could see, I suppose, haha). I believe God honors a heart that is turned toward Him. Don’t turn away; it causes a lot of heartache.
Blessings,
Hannah
Aww, thank you, @dancefree7. I totally know what you mean about having Christ-like friends. I don’t have many of them, and I yearn for the deeper conversations you can have with such friends. Please don’t hesitate to ask for anything. If you want, I can give you my email. Your comments have been very encouraging to me, and I would love to get…[Read more]
That’s awesome; and yes, I’d love to have your email, but wouldn’t want you to post it online…Whatever you would like to do! : )
