You could just call it “Lord of Birchwood.” I don’t know. Just a suggestion. Or you could call it *Cough*, since that seems to be a theme in your story. 😉
What is the genre?

Hmm…a second on Lord of Birchwood.

hmm, I’m not sure, but here are some questions that might help you choose.
What lesson does the character learn?
What’s one word that could sum up the story’s conflict?
Is there anything extremely unusual about your characters or the situations they find themselves in?
What are common words used in titles for the book’s genre? (romance, I assume.…[Read more]

@Bluejay I’ll miss you as well, but I’m glad to see you’re prioritizing your time. I’ll be praying.

@bluejay
Aww, I’m sorry to hear that, but I totally understand. As awesome as KP is, it can be distracting sometimes (at least for me), which is, by the way, a me problem, not a KP problem (Hey! That rhymed). So I totally understand where you are coming from. I don’t know if you all have noticed, but I haven’t been on here as much lately…[Read more]

Sorry to hear that. @bluejay. You will be missed. And I will definitely be praying for you!

@bluejay We will miss you!!! 🙂

@Bluejay I guess we’ll all have to super watchful about getting hurt now, with our doctor away. 😉
I’m definitely going to pray for you, and I hope the friction settles down. 😛 I’m sure it was hard decide this, but good for you. *thumbs up*

I totally understand this, @bluejay. You’ll be in my prayers!

Sounds tough, but if it’s the right thing, go for it. I’d be happy to pray for you.

Ignore my spelling errors. 🙁 I’m terrible at checking my own writing.

*puts on thinking cap* Hrmmm… well, the first game that comes to mind is Blindman’s Bluff. Then there’s a similar but less ‘dangerous’ game that doesn’t have a name, where ‘It’ stands blindfolded in the middle of the room and one player at a time tries to sneak past (and around) him without getting touched.
And honestly I have zero head for…[Read more]

Do you mean the theme would be spiritual blindness, and you’d just play physically ‘blind’ games, or would the theme be physical blindness (probably not, but I want to make sure I get what you’re saying. 😉 )?
And ditto to what Kate said about fundraising…sorry. 😛 Have some sort of craft sale, maybe? *helpless shrug*

Hmmm…. that’s a great thing to raise funds for, @bluejay! Who will you be giving the money to? (i.e. Compassion, Samaritan’s Purse, a missionary at your church, etc.) Well, the only games I can think of that haven’t already been suggested would be searching through something like rice, blindfolded, to find a small object, like a marble, pebble,…[Read more]

@bluejay Would it be indoors or outdoors? I know two games that raise money, but they don’t have a thing to do with blindness. You know the type of game where you try to throw a small object either into a basket or through a small hole in a board or to knock something down? You could charge 25 or 50 cents per toss. The other game is quite a bit…[Read more]

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]

Thanks for the reminder, Greta.

Yes @Gretald. Thank you.

Amen. Bless the polls, Lord.

@julia-r
Just like you said, whatever the outcome, it’s under control.

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

Thank you for the reminder, @gretald! May the LORD’s will be done.

Yes! Thank you for that prodding. It’s cool to know that there are young Christian writers out there who care about these things; you guys inspire me.

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

Yes, let’s do that. We need it. (Like always…)

Going to just take a second to say, you guys are beautiful people and a true encouragement. It’s such a blessing to see you all bind together and write for the Kingdom of God and support others who choose to do the same. <3 *fades back into the shadows*

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]
