Hope Ann

@livylynn Welcome! Not sure if she’s already been here or if someone else has already said something, but I know we have at least one other twenty something person hanging around… *sidelong glance at @hope* 😉
Once again, welcome aboard! We look forward to having you around! 😀

@emily It worked! This ever-loyal sidekick is at your service. *sweeping bow*
So when I make collages, I’ve made several using only pictures that I’ve taken, which is the safest way but also the harder way. I have NOT been able to do that for my own characters… at least not yet. I may do one like that for Annie yet since she’s based off me, but…[Read more]

THE BEST OF NEWS AND THE MOST BESTIEST ANSWER TO PRAYER PEOPLES!!!!!

Gladys Joy is officially HOME!!!

So my little sister was officially diagnosed with Down Syndrome, (we will need much prayer over the years for that) and she has three little holes in her heart, but they are not immediately threatening. Because of the weak muscle tone from DS,…[Read more]

No, he mine, I tell you. If any of you want him to be happy, then let him be.

@Hope unfortunately that’s not how it works. *scowls*

@Corissa-maiden-of-praise thanks for the offer! I figured it out with @graciegirl s thank you though!!!
Also everyone’s collages are so cool!! *ahhhh this is so cool guys, falls over again because I discovered something super awesome!!!*
@hope @jane-maree and I tagged you other 2 already.

@hope *also steals Cadoc away to safety*

@Corissa-maiden-of-praise That’s so pretty! Me likey. 😀
@Hope Whoa, those are great! I love how you coordinated the colors. 🙂

@clairec I’m pretty sure you are… I can’t wait for the rest to show up! 😀
@winter-rose *is sad for you* Mushrooms are yummy… though my brother once described their flavor as “resembling stale erasers,” so I s’pose they’re just not for everyone. XD
@hope I’m more than willing to be pounced on if you’re going to teach me everything you know and…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper That is true… maybe in the next part a rebel should sneak in and temporarily disable the king with a brain-freeze in the most daring attempt to take over the realm the Keepers have ever seen! *shocked gasp* We have plenty of good rebels just lurking about, waiting to strike, I’m sure… *cough* @hope *cough* XD

@Overcomer I know! I’ve missed you. 🙂
That sounds like a great book, and that is an excellent thought. I have a grand total of two colleagues (@Daeus @Hope) but we have strengths and weaknesses that balance each other out, so we can all learn from each other and teach each other in different ways. You’re right; those partnerships are crucial.

@kate-flournoy Possibly. I mean, certainly, but I don’t know if the other options will sound good. “The unready time traveler” doesn’t strike me as very good. 😉

Anyway, I don’t think length is a very big problem. I’ll think through alternatives though.

What do the rest of you think of this title? @hope @emma-flournoy @winter-rose @graciegirl @d…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong Wow. Can I read your story when it’s finished?? Please??? It sounds awesome. I also have a tendency to get an idea, but then have a fuzzy area in the middle. I… would like to be very wise and give advice, but I need help, too. I shall call in -erm, tag- the cavalry. @daeus @aratrea @kate-flournoy @hope @dragon-snapper @that_wri…[Read more]

Hello Ryanna!

It’s great that you’ve planned out quite a bit of your story! Just a thought I have that I’ve seen mentioned on here, is to flip the cliche. Figure out what is expected to happen (in a certain situation, or in the plot in general) and then do the opposite.

Here is an article that Kingdom’s Pen wrote about ways to bend cliches…[Read more]

@Daeus @Mariposa @Brandon-Miller @Ethryndal @Northerner @Hope @Audrey-Caylin @Jane-Maree @JosiahDeBoer

Thank you all so much!! This is a huge help.

To answer all your sorta-questions collectively, the post is probably more along the lines of a philosophical/personal experience/just for laughs post. If that makes sense. 😛 It is divided into…[Read more]

Thank you for all your prayers…
My little sister is here!!!
So, Mom had to do a c-section. Gladys had a little trouble breathing at first, but she was fine afterwards. She’s still in the NICU though.
Mom also had a lot of bleeding, and they did surgery to stop that, but she is also stable and recovering fine.
Please keep praying for our…[Read more]
