@catwing Well, I kind of left.  Unintentionally. 😉  My little sister called me to help her with a sewing project, and then I decided to make peanut butter cups… random, I know. 😛

But I’m back now.

Plotting!  What fun.  I love plotting, except, when I plot my books they never get written.  It’s only the ones that I write spontaneously that…[Read more]

@catwing Oh!  you are still here. 😛  Halloo.

@catwing Hey!  Sorry I didn’t see this until now…my tag didn’t work and I didn’t get an email.  I’m here now, though!  I guess you probably aren’t anymore, but if you are, it’s so nice to see you again!

@seekjustice @valtmy Sorry people, I fell asleep early last night.  Like, really early.  Right after family worship.  My sister texted me at 11…[Read more]

@alia @valtmy sorry, but I’m gonna have to leave now…

@valtmy ah I see 😉 do you have a favorite sport?

@alia Hi!

@valtmy Cool 🙂

Are you watching the World Cup at all?

@alia @rochellaine @seekjustice @kaya-young @dekreel @dragon-snapper Yay, I think I can be on a little today! I’m rewriting my novella…anyone on?

@alia haha, I understand that! 😀 but Belgium lost today, so she doesn’t have to worry about them getting anything more than third place. 😉

@rochellaine Thanks! I’m so excited 🙂

@alia Belgium and France. I was going for Belgium.

@jenwriter17 Yes, I saw your website!  Sorry I forgot to let you know.  It looks great!

@alia Haha, yes.  Getting distracted is very easy!  Much easier than staying focused, actually. 😛

I guess I can ask you the question I usually ask SeekJustice: Have you been listening to anything interesting lately? 😉

@rochellaine @alia so sorry I can’t join you right now…happy writing!

(I’m actually watching a World Cup game right now 😛 )

did you guys see my website?! (sorry I can’t remember who saw it and who didn’t) https://jennaterese.com/

@alia Writing, and studying.  Each is declaring it is more important, 😛  so I have to switch back and forth.

And searching for vinyl records of hymns by Jim Reeves… 😉

How about you?

@alia I guess so. 🙂  I may be on and off for a bit.

A few others who would be awake around this time would be @dekreel @catwing and @jenwriter17

@dekreel Thanks! I’ll start posting every Saturday I think, we’ll see how it goes 😀

@rochellaine Wow…I never thought you’d do it 😉

@seekjustice It is amazing how different and yet how similar other families can be to ours at the same time.  It does seem like a sort of paradox. 😀

Haha, real people tend to be harder to describe than the characters in books; no matter how complex the characters are, human beings have something that only God can give them, and mere imitations…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, my parents use that in their marriage counseling.  They say that everyone comes from different subcultures, or mini, family-cultures.  It’s easier to notice when you come from drastically different backgrounds, but every family has different ways of doing things, and it’s important to talk it all out before you get in a fight b…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, I’ve read too many books where authors dismiss the traditions of other cultures because they sound silly to them in the culture where they were raised. 😛  I’ve got a bit of experience in understanding that someone else’s culture could be different because my mom and dad came from such different cultures.  (You know my dad’s M…[Read more]

@seekjustice Tevye isn’t perfect, but he’s funny, and his relationship with God is cool, when you listen to his prayers.

I think there wasn’t meant to be much closure.  Tevye did say “and God be with you” in the end, but the end of the film seems to be a dreary hope that one day things may be better, rather than the bright day of a new…[Read more]

@valtmy Is it okay if I answer a few of your comments?  I’ve read the second draft of her book, and a few things have changed…

For one, Chessy is noted to be adopted from the first, so it is no longer a surprise in the second book.  That helps for continuity. 😀

Oh yes, about the trial! I agree with you.  Why didn’t Jean and Quillon just te…[Read more]
