@alia You gave your secret away?  Be prepared for circular reasoning at random times in the future. 😀

@seekjustice My sister and I actually sort of “collect” laughs.  We like Howard Keel’s laugh during his song Bless Yore Beautiful Hide in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, we like Robert Goulet’s laugh, but the most contagious laugh I’ve ever h…[Read more]

@seekjustice It all depends on your perspective.  During the 1700s and 1800s getting married at fifteen was normal.  When my grandmother was in high school in the 60s she had several girl friends who were getting married right out of high school, which would have been when they were seventeen, nearing eighteen.

It’s only recently that people h…[Read more]

@alia Yes, I was meaning that people say China will be sending the most missionaries out to other countries.  Chinese people witnessing for Christ in other places like Africa or, you know, just other countries besides China.  That’s what I’ve heard.

It’s really cool that relations with North Korea are progressing, isn’t it?

@seekjustice Yes, I guess not.  We also used to live next to a family who ran a ministry home for young girls.  So I had exposure to that from a very young age.

Besides that I actually know a Christian homeschooled girl whose brother married a seventeen-year-old girl. 😀  Something funny about that was that he met her during ballroom dancing cl…[Read more]

@seekjustice

It’s a good excuse to get out a social situation you never wanted to be in though. “Excuse me, I must go. My child is calling.”

Except that you’re only seventeen… 😀

@jenwriter17 Hello!  My novel is also calling me, and I’m trying to ignore it and write a long-overdue blog post, but since I have no idea what to write for the post a…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha, yes! 😀

Well, I’ll have to go now. I’m not sure if I’ll be on tomorrow, but I should be able to get some good time Friday, I’ll tag you if I do. See ya! 🙂

I tried to edit my post and it got deleted.  So here I’m posting it again. 🙂

@ariel-ashira @alia It’s not an amazing poem, but you can read it if you want.  Here’s the link.

@seekjustice Wow, good logic! 😛 Okay, so I live in Maryland.  Literature usually designates Maryland as part of the South.  We have fox hunts, fried chicken, pla…[Read more]

@seekjustice My novel is always calling me. It’s like being a parent 😛

@seekjustice Yes, Pinterest can be so extremely distracting 🙂

@seekjustice @rochellaine I’m back! 🙂

@alia @ariel-ashira

What’s everyone working on?

@seekjustice Well, if you look at it technically and literally, I am in the South.  I live below the Mason-Dixon line which is the official start of Dixie.  There’s a reason I can give you for why most people think we don’t live in the south, but before I do that:

What state do you think I live in?  I don’t remember ever stating sp…[Read more]

@jenwriter I like more of the traditional, not-so-modern sounding music. XD. Well…sometimes I like more popular Christian, but it really depends.

Sarah Sparks!! Oh my gosh. Her Narnia music is so beautiful.

Keith and Kristyn Getty have some pretty good stuff too.

Shane and Shane have some good music as well.

@seekjustice I’ll be back in about 15-20 minutes. Will you still be here?

@seekjustice 🙂 cool.

I got your ‘invitation to edit’ your last part of your sequel. I don’t know how you write so much! 😉

@alia Awesome! thank you 🙂

@seekjustice @alia @ariel-ashira @rochellaine Sorry to those who tagged me today, I’ve been gone all day at the zoo. 🙂 Is anyone still on writing?

@seekjustice I’m not back. 😀  I’m just popping in to say give that advice to your sister, sure, but tell her to take it with a grain of salt, since it comes from a writer who can’t possibly kill her own characters. 😛

Also to say that I’ve never that I can remember heard @catwing‘s saying. 😉  America’s a big place, and we have a lot of di…[Read more]

@seekjustice Tell your sister that I understand the problem, but from everything I’ve read with advice on writing that’s considered a very bad reason to kill a character.  If you need to kill them off, have a good reason to do so.  Don’t just do it because you can’t think of anything else to do. 😀

random marquis that Marguerite accidently d…

@catwing Your brother got you a sword?  Well, my brother got me a Civil War style Colt Navy revolver.  Top that!

😛 😛 😛 😛 😛

Seriously, though, I read your blog post about it and the sword sounds really cool!

(Especially since the range we normally go to won’t allow black powder guns, so I rarely get to shoot the revolver anyway. 🙁 )

@seekjustice Thank you!  Bless you!  I will survive.

And think of the many great authors who didn’t kill characters in every novel.  Even C.S. Lewis didn’t.  He only killed characters in some of his books.  Jane Austen, of course, but you don’t like her, so that’s not really a good argument.

Can’t you all think of any more?

@alia Thank you f…[Read more]
