Bah. It didn’t work. Well, you can see one of them here if you want to. Unfortunately, I don’t have the other one online currently.

@bluejay Yeah, I like it. Focusing on symbolism could make it even better, but it’s good.

Actually though, I wouldn’t call this one visual poetry. Visual poetry is where you write a normal poem, but the way the words are arranged forms an image. For instance, you could write a poem about your ancestors in the shape of a tree. Your one about the…[Read more]

I think this is a beautiful poem. It’s like, a dictionary/thesaurus for the Fruits of the Spirit! 🙂

@kate-flournoy @bluejay @lightningmouse(if you just so happen to still be here)
I wrote 739 words, which I pretty good for a scene which was hard to write. I fixed a few things as well that needed fixing, so I’m happy with that.
Good job to all of you! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have…[Read more]

@Bluejay this is really interesting. I’ve never read a poem quite like this before, but I like it. Nothing really to point out. Great job.

Okay great @Bluejay. I got 1,020 words written, and I was working on a dream-sequence, so I’m pretty happy. 😛 Those are kinda tricky. 😉

What did you get, @Dragon-Snapper? *folds claws primly* I didn’t waste my time melting up the plastic seats, dear fellow dragoness.

Oh, well in that case… um… eh… for gentleness…compassion on the wounded? Healing in your hands?
And for self-control… um… disciplined wisdom? Rule over your spirit?

@Bluejay

Well, Gentleness could include the opposite of Smaug, but you don’t want that, do you. 😉
Gentleness: polite – loving – friendly – soft-spoken – passionate without over-enthusiasm
Self-control: control – taking deep breaths to find peace – peace

Those are the main things that came to mind. I hope it helps, @bluejay! And sorry about the…[Read more]

Sorry @Bluejay I’m stuck. The ones you have sound good. What’s wrong with them?

Daeus’ secretary would like to post on the cork board that he doesn’t write on Sundays either. If you would like to write with him, please check in on weekdays or Saturdays prior to about 5 pm EST. Thanks.

Dragons comes in late. When it finds out that it’s late, it melts all the plastic chairs.
*picks up the phone* @bluejay @lightningmouse @kate-flournoy @daeus
A dragon is never late, she arrives precisely when she means to.
I’m writing as well, to whatever extent I choose. See you all down the road!
*hangs up before anyone–even the lightning…[Read more]

@Bluejay, actually, I can!! Ready, set go! When will you be writing till? I can write until nine our time, like usual.

I know, it’s so hilarious—all the small world discoveries one makes sometimes. 🙂

Oh, and I totally feel for you, @Bluejay and @Anna-Brie (and anyone else who said this 😉 ), because we live in the country as well, and most of the families similar to us (which aren’t that many, either!) live an hour or more away! It’s too bad.

Oh and @Bluejay, the lady who wrote the foreward of Raising Maidens —Jennie Chancey—is my aunt. Isn’t that funny?

I love the picture you put in my head, @bluejay. Good work!

Oh @Bluejay, I’ve read that one!

Have you read Joyfully at Home, by Jasmine Baucham? It’s really good.

And another one I HIGHLY recommend is It’s (not that) Complicated, by Elizabeth and Anna Sofia Botkin—that one was extremely helpful and encouraging for me.

You too, @sarah-h and @clairec. 🙂
