Hannah R.

@salome01w4g and @catwing, there may be a few more Aussies than there are Hannahs. Maybe we should call in support from all the Sarahs and Emilys in the world, too. 🙂 Are you both from the U.S.? Hannah was the name of the year in the U.S. the year I was born. Which is funny, because one of the reasons my mom chose my name is that she thought she…[Read more]

@shannon Hi! I don’t think I’ve met you yet! As usual, I’m late to the discussion, but for what it’s worth, I’ll give my opinion.
Like most people, my first thought is a great big cowboy hat. Scorpions also come to mind, since I had friends from Texas who had to deal with scorpions.
I think of some sand and deserts, but also of bluebonnets (is…[Read more]

@warrenluther04 I know this is going to sound bizarre, but I’ve always thought sock monkeys would make great villains. Maybe that wouldn’t work for this story, if you’re going with personifying animate objects rather than inanimate ones. Just a suggestion. Otherwise, I like the rats or mice ideas. Maybe even pigeons. Since cats chase birds, it…[Read more]

@salome01W4G Yay! Another Hannah! There are a lot of us, you know. We’re well on our way toward a successful takeover of the world by Hannahs. (Bwahaha!)
Hi, by the way! Historical fiction is a fun genre. I admire anyone who can manage it. I tried once, but it was too hard for me to stick to the facts, so I switched to fantasy. 🙂
By the way, I’m…[Read more]

Psst… @rae. Get on the forum. I know you’re logged in and all that, and now I’m really hoping you’ll check you’re e-mail and see that I’m tagging you and that means you should get on the forum. 😉

Okay, @rkj @hope and others… is this month’s six-word story prompt not the MOST AMAZING PICTURE YOU’VE EVER SEEN!!!??? I kind of started hyperventilating when I saw it because it’s so phenomenal. I want to be there. I want an eagle that big. And you KNOW there’s a story behind it! AHHHHH…..

@daeus Maybe I could send you the chapter-by-chapter synopsis and the first two or three chapters of my WIP? Then you can just give me an idea of whether or not it’s structured and all that jazz.

@daeus I apologize for all the typos in the previous comment. Its not a code saying that I’ve been kidnapped, as it would be of i had sent a typo-infested text to a family member. I’m just typing on my phone, and silly old Autocorrect thinks it knows what I’m trying to say better than I do.

@daeus I’d love to help, and as school doesn’t pick back up until August 22, now is the perfect time for me to get something done in a month. Your story sounds fascinating!
My WIL is not completed. Its an I it 60,000 words long, but I still would really love some feedback on it, even if you only do the first 20,000 words or so, because I’m so…[Read more]

Thanks everybody! I made some of the changes and am in the process of working on others. I really appreciate being able to learn from y’all. Many, many thanks!

Thanks for the tip, @dragon-snapper! And I’d love to have you beta-read or do a manuscript swap if you’re still willing. You can go to the contact page at my website, hisinstrumentblog.wordpress.com, and give me your email that way. Or if you’d rather, we can go through Hope Ann.

I just finished memorizing Romans 1-3. My goal is to memorize the entire book of Romans, because I think it contains a lot of excellent witnessing verses. My problem is retaining Scripture. I find that once I’ve memorized several books, I have trouble reviewing them all regularly enough because it just takes so long. Does anyone have tips on that?

Oh! And I heard that Realm Makers Conference will be in Pennsylvania next year! (If y’all haven’t heard of Realm Makers, look it up. It looks AMAZING.)

@northerner I don’t know anything about this contest. What is it?

@dragon-snapper Sure! I have discovered that the publishing process takes a lot longer than I thought, so I’m spending some more time researching before I try to publish (besides, I just acquired a published writing mentor, so that should be helpful). But in the meantime, I’d love as much help polishing as I can get. If you give me your e-mail I…[Read more]

@jadamae,
Prince of the Barbarians is still open for beta readers. I’d love to have you work on it this summer! If you give me your email, I’ll send it to you.
