@maryg3 You stayed in a manor house in Ireland? That’s… *At a loss for words*. What was is like?
I’ve grown up as a homeschooler PK in a small town, so yeah, church can be a rather social place… but with Bible quizzing, the library, and our homeschool group, it’s not like we’re really isolated. (Or maybe I just don’t know the difference)

Thank you! Yes, the first two are only human, and the last is only animals. I’m glad it was fun to read. I think the personality of each story worked its way into the synopses.
Which do you like best?

Wow, a forum given entirely up to WIP related blather? STUPENDOUS!
Where do I start? An introduction, that’s where!
Possibility (because that’s what it is): Aethelthryth was set apart from her very birth. Her father was a serf whom the King freed. He became a knight with a burden to reach those in bondage. Her mother is a knight’s daughter with…[Read more]

Yay! Thank you. In fact, the shortage of well written Biblically sound analogies is what prompted me to make up one of my WIPs.

Oof, yeah. Present tense first person isn’t something I’ve ever tried, but I can already see it going terribly wrong, haha.
The ending is pretty good? I was always a little curious about how it was going to end, but know I’m even more intrigued. I guess I’m going to have to finish it then!
As for your questions about The Hunger…[Read more]

Ranting about my new novel idea to myself in the depths of my soul. Will I share anything more than a few cryptic words? No.

Helmer is awesome! His nearing brutal outside hides such a tender heart. Yes, that conversation is priceless.
I have not read all the books exactly, because I only skim-read the last, but I have read all the rest. My personal favorite is either The Green Ember or Ember Falls. Which is funny, since when we first heard that a certain rabbit may…[Read more]

This post has stirred me; I cannot be silent. 😉
I totally agree, and no, you don’t sound over cautious to me. As John 1:1-14 makes very clear, His Word is not something to play with, for “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”,”And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,(and we beheld His…[Read more]

Ugh, I can’t remember…, but I have had many ideas from listening to music, especially worship/altar. For example, the soloist sings something like: “You didn’t think you’d make it through the night,/ It’s a wonder you survived,/ but you’re still here…” And a sunrise-on-the-battlefield scene pops into my head. Also I have a habit of listening…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Plenty of places that I don’t even remember. Probably something similar to your waffle house experience. If I remember I’ll let you know.

So, this is a poem/song from one of my books. There are two forms in said book, but I will only be posting the ‘ancient’ form (The ‘new’ form is supposed to have flaws). This is a Battle/marching song for this country.

Most of my ideas come from my other story ideas that came from some book I read. I have gotten ideas from sermons, although that makes sense.
However, my family once attended a gigantic firework show (it would probably have been illeagal if we were any where else). I now have an air raid scene.

What’s an unexpected place, event, or thing that you got a story idea from?Â
A couple unexpected things that happened to me that I got some pretty cool story ideas from.Waffle House. Went to a Waffle House once in my life and that was at 2am when I was eight years old. Never will I go again. It was a very creepy experience and all the cu…[Read more]

Welcome to KP! It’s fantastic to have you!
Yo, your favorite food are definitely top tier foods.
Blue used to be my favorite color, until I started liking other colors too much and now I’m just confused, haha.
I love The Hunger Games! Each time I read it I pick up on something new. I also love how deep the POV is and how the three…[Read more]

Oh dear. Well that’s comforting, in a weird sort of way. I “probably” have errors of technique too.

Every 12-18 months? Ok, I should be able to accommodate that.
