I would meet Jesus. And I would ask him how he loved us so much that he died for us. And ask him to help me bring some of my friends back to the Light. And just sit in his lap and listen to him preach.

That’s the best choice! And it’ll come true too, in heaven! What a great hope we have!

I would meet Leo or Riker from @freedomwr…

Just curious, what’s your opinion on the Oxford Comma? When I read your question I thought, “What is that??” but when I looked it up I realized I knew what it was, just didn’t know it by the official name. 🙂

@mineralizedwritings

Ooo!! Can’t wait! 😀

@freedomwriter76

I have ancestors that came from Italy in the late 1800’s, I believe, on my Mom’s side of the family, but my Dad’s side, the German side, has been in America since before the American Revolution! Like, 1750s-ish time! 😉 But truthfully, I’m a mix of Italians/Germans/Scots/English/Irish…all of those…XD

@mineralizedwritings

I have always had the concern that my story would not be very gripping, because the stakes seem low. I mean, it’s not like anyone is dying.

I’ve thought that before too, about my contemporary fiction WIP. But I really appreciate books that draw me in without using death, you know what I mean? Death threats are gripping but n…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Your story is gripping. I would certainly keep reading! Do you have a title yet? I’m really bad at coming up with titles and tend to wait until I’m almost done writing the first draft…even then it’s hard!

The flashback of Lesli giving Tauren a diary is touching!

@lightoverdarkness6 @freedomwriter76 @mineralizedwritings @koshka @folith-feolin @loopylin

Thanks everybody for your warm welcomes! I’m excited about future discussions, debates 🙂 WIP swapping, learning, writing and everything else you all do on here!

I’m currently learning Spanish for school, but….I’d love to learn German. Maybe that’s because I write books set in that country and culture…but whatever! XD I do like listening to songs I know in different languages though! It’s really helped me practice my Spanish, specifically! 😉 I saw that you’re learning Polish! What’s your f…

@mineralizedwritings

Hmm… what should happen next? Lol, you get to decide!

Well, let’s put it on hold for now…it was kind of a spur of the moment thing and I didn’t give much thought to it’s future… 🙂

And if I ever saw a crocodile or other creature, I believe I would just scadoodle (sorry for the weird word. It’s some kind of variation of scr…

@koshka

Thanks for the welcome!

You’re writing about the Russo-Ukrainian war? I’m definitely not that brave, but I’d be thrilled to hear about it if you ever want to ramble to someone.

I don’t feel like I’m all that adequate to write about it because it is complicated and nuanced but sometimes when a character begs you to write their story you j…[Read more]

@folith-feolin

Namarie! (Quenya) Nice to meet you! You remind me of my brother who is an American and European history buff and used to make board games. 🙂

In answer to your neophyte questions:

1. During WWII Hitler wanted to produce a “pure” breed of horses and succeeded in capturing the Lipizzaners from the Austrian Riding School with which…[Read more]

@loopylin

Feel free to interrupt our snake chase! 🙂 Hi! Nice to meet you! I’ve never tried writing sci-fi before. Sounds exotic and exciting!

I’m planning to make the end of my WIP Overcome be in July 2022. Because I don’t know how the war will end in real life, I can’t really use that in my story unless I want to wait…for however long it…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

So I like minerals, and writing, and I guess if your writing gets old.. perhaps it minarelizes? I guess in some fantasy world somewhere, stories mineralize with age. (I think I just made that up rn 🤣)

Fossilized writing! I love it! You are so creative! This snake story is getting interesting. 🙂 We should make a topic where we…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

I like green tree boas (not that Ive ever seen one) and hognose snakes.

The huge snake curled slowly on the flimsy branch, its white streaks contrasting with its lime green skin. Tongue flicking rapidly as it detected a human close by, the snake lifted its head and watched with keen eyes.

Mineralizedwritings whistled as she…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Oh and forgiveness is a great theme. I’m trying to weave it into my story, but it gets a little complicated sometimes.

Yes I agree.

I really like in dreams, concerning hobbits, and forth aerlingas (Oh I butchered that so bad 😂)Do you have a favorite from the Lotr soundtrack?

🙂 LotR soundtrack is swell! My favorite songs are M…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76

Hallo FreedomWriter76! So glad to meet another sister in Christ!! Does your signature mean that you like languages too? 🙂 Happy to meet a History Buff! The only reason I don’t classify myself as one is so I don’t look ignorant when I answer History questions incorrectly. 🙂

I went ice skating for the second time on Friday!…[Read more]

Hello! Nice to meet you and thanks for the welcome! A dystopian comic book sounds fascinating!

I love the creative questions! Here goes…
