Sarah Hoven replied to the topic What does the future look like? in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@julia-r You don’t have to be scared by the bad things happening in the world. The darker it gets out there, the brighter God’s light will shine. I like to think that history is like the ultimate novel, and the end times are the climax. The suspense is rising, the enemy is closing in and it looks like there’s no way out…but I know the Author,…[Read more]

Yeah, I have to say that’s a pretty dismal part of autumn. The colours are always pretty though. 🙂
Pumpkin cookies sound yummy. Yes, do post the recipe. 🙂 *yummy*

@julia-r Thank you. It’s really weird because, going by the calendar we have been in spring for 23 days. *calendars* 😛 My favourite thing about thing about spring is that the next season is summer and I loooooove SUMMER!!! 🙂 🙂 No, I like spring too. I love being able to head outside and enjoy the fresh air. It is a beautiful day out there t…[Read more]

Well, I’d have to say, unfortunately, that autumn is my least favorite season. I like autumn, but I like all the other seasons better. The part of autumn I don’t like is when after all the leaves have fallen off, and the world is all barren and wet and moldy, like around November. I love the corn maze, apple-cider, and pumpkin cookie part of fall,…[Read more]

@julia-r-
Speaking of recipes, here is my favorite soft pretzel recipe. These are so delicious! A lady in our life group brought these once and they were gone in an instant!

Gather, fellow knights and warriors of this realm!
@Overcomer and I had an idea a little bit ago for the fall. Because summer is now over, (yay–Fall!) that means that The Awesome Summer Writing Club is no longer summery. So, without further ado, I will begin a new topic with the same principal.
We, as writer’s, will (or should, I won’t force…[Read more] -

And a big thank you to all the people who brainstormed for me. I know some of you didn’t make it here before I cleared the topic, but I have figured out what to do. Grazie. 🙂

You are most welcome, friend! 🙂 Glad you got it figured out. Happy writing!
-
@spradlin 🙂 *whispers* It’s ready for beta readers now. Psst, @daeus are you interested in reading “the Golden Conch”?
How many people should I send it to in at once?-
@bluejay Yes, I am interested, but I’m a little swamped right now. I’m beta reading two other novels and Kate might send me the second piece of hers any time. Would it be alright if I postpone for a month?
-
LOL! Wish I had time to do the thing. SUBMIT IT WHEN YOU’RE DONE THOUGH! cuz that’s the cool thing to do. xD
-
When it’s done, it will be coming your way. But I hope you have patience cause I have a feeling it might be some time… XD
-
Haha! Not a problem! Can’t wait to see it. 🙂

@Bluejay I’d love to, but unfortunately I’m way to busy right now to take on any extra projects. Keep me on the list though. 😉 Perhaps a later draft…

Hope Ann replied to the topic Art Sharing and How to Do It in the forum Art 8 years, 2 months ago
I didn’t know you could do that, @bluejay …I’ll have to keep that in mind. 😉
@julia-r If your photo is already online somewhere, like Pinterest, you can skip several steps and just click your picture then select and copy the link. Come back and push the little ‘img’ button and go from there like bluejay said.

Need a bit of help here. Now I don’t want to say too much because of spoilers, but HELP!
*ahem, ahem. What noise comes to your mind when you think of a shell (reasonably big) breaking and falling onto a wooden floor?
But you have to make sure that your audience doesn’t know what has happened?
@kate-flournoy @faithdk @emma-flournoy @christi-eaton @d…[Read more]-
Like shattering glass, perhaps with a duller ring to it as the wood would absorb a lot of the sound and the shell is hollow, besides.
@Bluejay-
Hmmmm… I’d have to agree with Kate. It doesn’t quite have the tinkling resonance you’d expect from glass (because I have dropped many a glass in my days). Almost like what I’d imagine a pot shattering would sound like, if you want to use a comparison.
-
You’re not the only one to drop glasses. *I managed to drop a jar of Vegemite once. It was rather a mess*
Yes, I’m wanting a comparison. Originally I had, “the sound of a thousand stones falling to the ground.” But I don’t think it would shatter like that or make that sound.
-
-
-
Well, it also depends on the type of wood floor it is. Is it actual, solid wood? (unfortunately this seems to be becoming rarer, at least in my area) Or is it laminate wood floor? The sound would be different if it is.
-
Oh yes, and just to clarify, it breaks after it hits the wood floor, right? The way you worded it kind of suggested it breaks before hitting… *grins mischievously*
-
-
*grins back* Shhh…it breaks before it hits the ground. It is the good old solid wooden floor. @corissa-maiden-of-praise.
-
@BlueJay Well, that changes things. *ponders* Perhaps… well, how does it break then? We must take that into account if we are to accurately describe the sound. 😉
-
@corissa-maiden-of-praise You’re prying! You just want to know what happens don’t you??? 😉 *suspicious stare* It gets whacked on someone’s head. *A hard head* 🙂 *sniggers*
-
Goodness, this sounds terribly exciting. I can’t wait to read it! 🙂
-
-
-
-
-
@bluejay, Ahhh! This is a really hard question. I honestly can’t think of anything except what everyone else has already said, so, um, yeah! 🙂
-
Thanks @winter-rose That was what I was thinking too, but I wasn’t sure that a clay jar fitted as an example, so I reworded it and I ‘think’ I’ve got it.
@corissa-maiden-of-praise Glad you think so. One day…-
@BlueJay Whenever anything is cracked over someone’s head, you can generally count on the story being exciting. 😀
-
-
@bluejay, sounds like you’ve got it already, but I agree with the others—like pottery, just a little clearer and harder.

@julia-r There is a way. It’s complicated, but it’s possible. *takes a deep breath*
First question: Do you have photo and are they on a computer? -
Daeus replied to the topic Art Sharing and How to Do It in the forum Art 8 years, 2 months ago
@julia-r The only way I think you can do it is with a link. Do you (or someone in your family) have a social media account or a website?

Oh dear! @Julia-R I’m so sorry this is late!
Hard decision… 2-weeks huh? It’s a close call between Greece, New Zealand (I want to be a hobbit XD), and Scotland. Hard to choose just one though 🙂
I actually want to do a world wide trip, set foot on each continent, and sail each of the oceans 😉
