Thanks, @daeus . I’ll give it my best shot! 🙂

@anna-brie , I have a last name that’s kinda unique, but is (with very few exceptions) always misspelled! Still, I decided to go with it anyway:)

Hey @bluejay ,

I’m from the state of Virginia, which is the best place to live in the whole entire world. Totally kept a straight face! 😉

Seriously though, it is a great place to live:) The weather is completely dependably inconsistent in it’s behavior. So much so that we here are not surprised to find Christmas hot, and snow on…[Read more]

That’s strange you should say that, @belegteleri . I think you and I must have had a similar experience last year. I chose “emerge” for my word of the year then, because I was emerging out of a very dark place and back into the sunshine. It was both the hardest, and one of the best years of my life so far. I questioned whether or not God had…[Read more]

@rolena-hatfield

That’s a loaded question. I’m writing something. I’m not exactly sure what yet. Right now I’m participating in Go Teen Writer’s March 300 for 30 Challenge. I’m supposed to write 300 words every day for 30 days in March. Today’s day five. It’s kinda fun, and is helping me to discipline myself as a writer. I’m just…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Thanks, that is beautiful, Kate! (And true:) I will remember that.

Hey @hislittlerose , @hope , @kate-flournoy ,

Good to meet/hear from all of you! welcome to the forum! (A little late, this welcome is. Absent because of forgotten password I have been, and spam inbox, clouded by the dark side it was;)

Feel free to introduce yourselves if you like, or talk to me here. There’s plenty of room!

Hey Hannah!

Sorry I haven’t replied sooner. My spam inbox loves this forum:/

My sister likes pudding cups. (Sorry, I know that was random, but she’s describing “no ordinary pudding cup” to me, which, by the way, “was better than cheesecake,” and I just couldn’t resist;)

I think both Hannah, and @aella are lovely names:)

How long have I…[Read more]

So, I’ve given it some more thought @kate-flournoy (by the way, I like your name!) and @daeus , and my mind is made up. I’m going with my real name after all. I can give glory to God in all that I do with or without my name on stuff. Maybe I’ll still use the pen name later on in my writing as a character’s name or something. We’ll see! :)…[Read more]

Thanks for your thoughts, @kate-flournoy @daeus !

I would just use my name, but I’m a little torn because I really like the pen name. I wonder too if using a pen name would help me to stay humble during my writing career, that is, if anything comes of it.

The one time something of mine was sort of published was incredible. Seeing my name…[Read more]

This poem reminds me of one I wrote to the Lord when I was struggling . . .

I don’t know if this is good or not, but it does capture feelings I’ve had, and I’m sure the feelings you had when you wrote it. Rereading it only makes me appreciate it more. Meaning is what good poetry should always be made of. Don’t stop writing your poetry,…[Read more]
