Greetings, fellow writers!
So, I’ve been thinking about doing this thing for a while, and I’ve finally gotten a room reserved and a date set. I don’t know how long the drive will be for y’all (although, I have been to Delaware and back in a single day for those of you who live there), but I went through the “Where do you live?” forum and sniffed…[Read more] -

Wow, thank you everyone for the more-than-hearty welcome! You’re right @rolena-hatfield, this is going to be far more fun than merely stalking you all 😀 Now to answer a few of your questions…
@kate-flournoy The fact you’ve actually been WAITING for me to join the Forum blew me away! What a compliment 🙂 I don’t really have a set genre (though…[Read more]

Yeah, but finding new codenames is fun, right?@gretald
You protest, and thus the first part of our plan is a success. Thanks for the help! 😉 -

Hi everyone!
College. That’s what’s next. After a few more years of high school then off I go. COLLEGE. Some words can be so easy and short to say and spell, but they speak levels of meaning.

@bluejay You need to see Fireproof! It’s really good. It’s my favorite one. Shall I give you a synopsis, or do you already know what it’s about?
@gretald I heard that the lead singer for King and Country is the main actor. I know they also did a song called Priceless based on that theme. I am very excited to see it.

Mark Kamibaya replied to the topic Favorite Movies in the forum Film 8 years, 1 month ago
@bluejay Yeah, I can see your point. Maybe it’s just that War Room was a lot like the other ones that they’ve made so I got a little bored. But the movie does have a powerful message. The Sons of Katie Elder is supposedly really good. Of course, it’s a John Wayne movie that’s directed by Henry Hathaway and the music is by Elmer Bernstein! So you…[Read more]

@gretald, Oh, I’m so glad #2 was true. I hate avocado, too! 🙁 Except with nachos…and lots of sour cream! Also, I have not to been to Ohio, but I like scenery better than ‘big stuff’, so I’d rather visit you than California or New York. Except I would like to visit John MacArthur Jr.’s church in California. I haven’t been back to America since…[Read more]

@gretald Really? Hmm… *am at a loss for words* … Have you tried the big Florida avocados? They are much better than the little Hass avocados, in my estimation. I know how to wiggle my ears, too! Can you do it without moving your eyebrows? I can’t really.

We’re currently looking into different ways to record the session and share it with those of you who can’t come. Watch your emails and/or this thread for information on that once we figure it out!

Oh wow @His-Instrument, you really went to a lot of trouble to put this together. I love the idea and would love, love love to do this, but I’m afraid my schedule (aka evil overlord 😉 ) won’t allow it. 🙁 Mostly because right now is a really busy time for my family with our cabin rental business. I wish I could attend, but since I can’t, I wish you luck.
@kate-flournoy
Your family has a cabin rental business?! That’s so neat! 😀
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]
Oh, no! I’ll be away at bible bee. Really like the idea though. Maybe we could do another one next year?
Btw, do you know/have you invited Timmory (not sure how to spell that) Blair?
For some reason there’s no “reply” option for the post I’m actually replying to. @daeus For Bible bee do you have to memorize a specified 600 verses, or are any 600 accepted? Did you qualify for Nationals? I doubt I’ll ever have time to do Bible bee, but it sounds like a great opportunity.
The passages are specified. Yes, I did qualify.
@his-instrument
This is such a good idea!!! I wish I could come so much, but I’ll be leaving to go out of town that day. 🙁 If you ever do this again, PLEASE let me know! Hope you have a fun and productive time!
@daeus
You know Timery Blair?!?! It seems like we know a lot of the same people. 🙂 She and I were in a Speech class together a…[Read more]
Yeah, my younger siblings go to the Blair’s tapestry group and we’ve had them over once or twice. That’s cool you know them too.
Oh, yes! We do Tapestry, too, so we almost did their group, but we couldn’t due to scheduling conflicts. 🙂
Me either…pretty much what applies to Kate applies to me. 😉 That sounds terribly fun, though I don’t write books. I hope you have a good time with whoever can come. 😀
@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. 😀
@kate-flournoy
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. 🙂
@daeus
@gretald and I are going! Hope to see you there! 🙂
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.
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.
We’ll do another one in January, @winter-rose . Probably on a Saturday. Same location, same time. What are some dates that might work for you? Do you have any open weekends in January?
