A very small and weedy sapling perhaps?

I’ve read enough American books to know what it means, but we usually use the word lounge and couch sometimes.

@rochellaine

I’ve never read it. I’m instantly suspicious of anyone using the phrase Down Under though.

We have our “gentleman bushrangers” like Ben Hall and Harry Power, but for the most part they were a pretty nasty lost.

@Rochellaine

I don’t think even Arthur was doing that well (Mordred wasn’t one of his proud moments).

Wow! I’ve never really read about cowboys but they do sound pretty cool! All I know about them is the stereotypical stuff everyone else uses to make fun of them.

@rochellaine oh the agonies of being a writer and bookworm! we get so emotionally connected…

@rochellaine

(*whispers* we don’t use the word sofa in Australia)

But yeah I understand what you’re saying. I just try to say dinosaurs otherwise people look at you rather oddly.

The KJV bible mentions dragons in several places! And the Behemoth is usually said to be a hippo/elephant but I definitely think its a dinosaur.

@ethryndal

I think she’s referring to the Nephilim which are mentioned in Genesis 6:1-6.

@SleepwalkingMK Hehehehe…. 😎

@Rochellaine

The Bible mentions the fact that demons had children by human women, who became giants and monsters

Whoa, wait, where was that?

@rochellaine

Goodness, it makes cowboys sound like the knights of the Round Table!

But really, I don’t understand why Americans have iconic, chivalrous cowboys and Australia has…bushrangers.

@ariel-ashira @rochellaine what if we did both?

I close the sack and we begin making our way back up the ravine wall.

We both freeze as we hear above us the same crackling footsteps that haunted us on our way here above us in the blackness.  I lose my foothold on a rock and I slide to another just as it goes tumbling down the Ravine wall and…[Read more]

Yes there is, here you go 😊

@Ariel-Ashira Oh man, I can sympathize with the whole “major changes, God’s guidance” thing. I’ll pray for you and your family, dear. Hope everything turns out well.

@Rochellaine

I actually do! Some of it anyway. I don’t necessarily believe that dragons themselves were ever real, but I’ve read a lot about the possibility of dragons and dinosaurs being the same thing and over time, after dinosaurs went extinct, the stories of them getting more and more exaggerated until we have the fire-breathing mythological…[Read more]

@Dekreel I think the reason a lot of us blog is to build a platform for when we get published. That’s part of the reason I do it. The other part is because people tell me I’m mildly entertaining, and I figured I’d better take advantage of that while I can. 😉

@ariel-ashira

Definitely will be praying!

(On a side note, there’s actually a whole thread where we can post and respond to prayer requests, which most of us visit frequently)

“Here,” I whisper, “its behind this pile of stones in a sack.”

Akira nods and we start loosening the rocks sealing the stone’s hiding place.  As the enemy creeps steadily closer, we finally break through the barrier.  I grab the sack and peek inside to affirm it is still safe.  The stone, no larger than my palm, glows a soft grey.  I close the s…[Read more]

@seekjustice oh, and I hope it’s okay, but I read your short story too.

trying to make us cry, huh? 😉

it worked.

@daughteroftheking  Awesome! Thanks 😉

@catwing Because pie is yummy. *wiggles eyebrows*

@rochellaine I was half convinced @dekreel was a fox for a while. I’m sorted out now though. 😉 (you know you’re a Kapeefer when you know the species of your fellow writers, because they’re not all human.)

@filewriterbase13x Ah, yes. I can never figure out how many spoilers about my story is too many. 😛 Nice profile pic! Did you draw it yourself?
