Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Why We Do This in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 8 months ago
To tell you the truth, @Dragon-Snapper, I don’t write. (Hopefully that doesn’t mean I should be kicked off KP, @Daeus. 😉 It was very friendly of y’all to accept me in the first place.)
If you want to know what I’m doing here then, you can see my (rather too long, in retrospect) introductory posts here.…[Read more]

Hmmm…maybe. I might be more interested in reading a book like that if it had more about the character’s personality or struggles on there. Though I don’t know if that’s something you could put on it or not…
And also, if the Japanese bombing Darwin isn’t something that really happened, I don’t know if I’d like it; I don’t care all that much…[Read more]

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.

“As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion f…[Read more]

“There is a difference between a book of two hundred pages from the very beginning, and a book of two hundred pages which is the result of an original eight hundred pages. The six hundred are there. Only you don’t see them.” —Elie Wiesel
@Kate-Flournoy, I think you’ll appreciate this one.

But especially with the scenes which could have happened, but had to be clipped for time’s sake…those are fun to go back and read and spend a little more time with favorite characters.
Oh, that kind would be nice. 🙂
It’s just too bad not everyone wants a giant book; then you wouldn’t have to cut scenes for time’s sake. 🙁 -

One thing though, Hope—I’ve never really got this.
Why include old scenes as special material, if they are in fact old? Because if you deleted them from the book, they most likely didn’t happen, and why show your fan something that could’ve happened if it didn’t? Chances are they may like the deleted way better, and then it’ll leave them…[Read more] -

I just copy-and-pasted the YouTube link; I didn’t know it would actually put the video there, I was just aiming for the link. Do you know how to copy and paste?

Yo @bluejay! Yep, it’s me. Hi again. 🙂
But I’m never really far off, even if I don’t post…I’m always…stalking…y’all . *creepy bell music*🙂 (I wish the winking emoji didn’t look worried. Does anyone else think it looks worried or apologetic, not mischievous?) 😉
By the way, how old are you again? 16, correct?

@emma-flournoy Amen to that.
@bluejay
I know that obviously, if we have gifts, we should use them; but somehow it’s so encouraging that there’s actually verses telling you specifically to use them, and for God’s glory. 🙂
