@dragon snapper LOL! Perhaps. True-blue, fair dinkum Aussie slang can be pretty rare…you’d probably find that if you came here and started speaking what you believe is “normal” here, you might be surprised. We’re don’t use it as much as you might think, I think we just make out like it’s this massive thing to tease you Americans. Gotta say…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 @dragon_snapper @perfectfifths You’ll never believe this, but I was just wondering a couple of days ago if Americans think we use weird slang all the time. I can’t believe this!!! So, um, do we? I don’t think so. @perfectfifths will verify me. I love Australia!!! The place where we live we see roos all the time, some of…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I just saw that the Black Arrow is one of your favourite books! I’m doing it for read aloud at the moment (hadn’t read it before), and it’s way up there! I think it might end up being one of my favourite books-it’s so AWESOME!!! We are up to the part where Seldon has just died. I love the part where Matcham…[Read more]

@widdrim So sorry that I haven’t replied sooner. LOL, Anne of Green Gables-it’s hard to forget. I do like it though. I’ve seen the first two, and I used to like the second better, but I watched it soooo many times that now I like the first one better. Did you enjoy it (sorry I couldn’t gather the answer from your comment :()

Hi! Okay, so the title pretty much says it all. I want to create deep and entertaining characters, easy to learn from, but relatable. I don’t think that I am doing that. Please help me!!!

I’m so sorry I didn’t see this until now! 🙁 I was off on a road trip and came back with a stack of emails to find and apparently this notification got stuck in the midst of them out of view 🙁 But I’m glad I found it!

@JaynieCatgirl08 @DaughterOfTheKing I’m glad that you agree with me…Yes! I’m sometimes a very spontaneous person, and I love writing novel ideas down, perhaps because it makes me feel so smart that I have thought of a story possibility with my little brain. That feeling does not always last. 😉 Okay, so:

@widdrim Yes, but it has great rhythm. I love Charge of the Light Brigade! But my favourite Tennyson poem would have to be The Lady of Shallot. Do you like it?

@JaynieCatgirl08 You know you’re a writer when…you always get plot ideas just before you start going to sleep, and when you think up perfect characters in the shower. (Guilty on both accounts.) You know you’re a writer when you observe random things intently for no particular reason, while everybody wonders why you’re so riveted about and…[Read more]

@emily-d I’m not familiar with Shaeffer. I did google him though and I recognize one of his books–True Spirituality. Why do you ask?
@mark-kamibaya Just wondering :). He’s about the only philosopher I’ve heard of and actually read some of his work :P. He was a really great author though.
@emily-d Ok. I should probs check him out. Philosophy in general is such a vast field that it’s hard to find good people in it. I normally read of the erroneous views of old-timey people like Nietzsche and Voltaire. But now I’m trying to saturate myself with the Christian philosophers (aka theologians) like Jonathan Edwards.
Wow I’ve heard of him! I’ve read Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper and he quoted Jonathan Edwards quite a bit. He sounded really good. Whenever I think of the term “philosopher” I think of Socrates, Plato, et cetera, but it’s nice to be reminded that there’s a Christian side to it!
Yes! John Piper actually chose Jonathan Edwards as the one theologian he would try to study the most of. There’s a John Piper book I’m reading that is split into two parts. The first part is Piper deconstructing Edwards and analyzing his work. The second part is one of Edwards’ greatest works, “The End For Which God Created The World.” The book…[Read more]
And, surprisingly, I actually don’t read much of Plato or Socrates. I mostly read of philosophers in the last four centuries with an emphasis on the modern (cuz they’re easier to read) 😀
