@bella-d   Well, to start with, the major event of Nero’s reign was the great fire, supposedly started by… Nero. It is said he played a fiddle while Rome burned! Then he blamed Christians for starting the great fire, and Paul and Peter were both martyred. I think it’s safe to say Nero was evil.

In his first five years of rule Nero was very g…[Read more]

@epicaddie2  ha! Those are great!

@supermonkey42 I think it’s sad that someday there might not be first hand sources people can look back on and form their own opinion about history. So by all means, write down how your ancestors came from Ireland! History is important and it should be preserved.

Let me know if you write about your Irish heritage! I have quite a bit of Irish…[Read more]

@rochellaine I like Blueberria too, I’m not sure about Blueberries and Envelopes though.

• The Boy Who Loved Blueberries
• A Blueberry For Oliver (or whatever you call him)
• A Ticket to Blueberria
• How to Get a Blueberry in Blueberria
• Licking Envelopes: How W…

@valtmy  Thank you! Yes, finding a good way to present information has been the biggest challenge, (mentally, I haven’t actually started writing anything yet) and that was something I’ve needed to work through first. I really like your idea of covering the same event in one chapter but from multiple perspectives.

Thanks again for taking the time…[Read more]

@rochellaine I LOVE IT!! that is a great story! These are a few ideas I have for a name: Chip, Isaac, Finn, and Oliver.

@seekjustice *Yells “thank-you!” and hopes you hear it across the ocean*

That was super helpful! thank you for taking the time to answer! I will utilize your much needed writing advice. 😉 I hadn’t really thought about interviewing other people, that will definitely be something I will keep in mind.

@rochellaine Nope, not Disney, @jenwriter17 got it though! It’s from Andy Griffith. 🙂

@rochellaine hhmm.. That quote is too true!

Ok, I’m not sure of any of y’all’s quotes, but I have one:

<b>”Nothing like the taste of sawdust from the bottom of an ice truck.”  </b>

@amily-huddleston Hello! I’m new(ish) around here too, and I think you will love it! Everyone is super warm and welcoming. I love your name by the way!

@princessfoo Cool! I’m glad you like it! 🙂

@princessfoo I have an idea for the first one! Fenestra! It’s the Latin word for window, loophole, Hole, breach, and opening. You could adjust the word however to fit your purposes.

@rochellaine Cool! I like this quote from C.S. Lewis on the subject of show, don’t tell:

<b>”Don’t use adjectives which merely tell us how you want us to feel about the thing you are describing. I mean, instead of telling us a thing was “terrible”, describe it so we’ll be terrified. Don’t say it was “delightful”, make us say “delightful” when w…[Read more]

@nicolerivers03 Wow! that’s really interesting. Nice rhyme structure!

@nicolerivers03 Yes!

@rochellaine Good! I need to know what happens next!
