@kate-flournoy I forgot to tell you that I’ve read your, “victorious,” book, and loved it! I couldn’t put it down!

Aw, thanks so much, @ethryndal!

@audrey-caylin ah, gotcha. : )

Perdón, Emma! Will I ever stop speaking Spanish!!! That meant, “thank you for the warm welcome.”

Hi @emma-flournoy!

My favorite book is the Bible. Next favorite is, “The Hidden Hand,” by E.D.E.N. Southworth. I cried when it was over because… it was over! What are your favorite books?

I play piano for our church. I also play the mandolin, but not as well as I’d like to. I have an accordian, and I get it out every once in awhile and…[Read more]

Muchas gracias, @adry_grace!

@dragon-snapper I thought that would surprise people! : )

I’ve only written fiction stories so far. I’ve written a lot of stories, but I’ve only ever finished two… they WERE completely finished, though! My notebooks are full of the starts of my stories, and my journals are filled with story ideas. It’s pretty amusing to look back at stories…[Read more]

Oh, and @Kina-Lamb

I am also writing my own story – a children’s story. I think it’s important that the books children read are wholesome and productive, and it’s hard to find books like that these days. I also think that they should be interesting enough that anyone of any age would enjoy reading it.

This. You do this, and you will have my…[Read more]

Hi @graciegirl! Yes, I have heard a lot from Daeus… no, actually, I’ve observed a lot of Daues. You see, he’s always on Kingdom Pen, so I just look over his shoulder see what’s going on around here!

Thank you! I do like taking pictures of nature, but it’s weddings and portraits that I like to do best.

Yes, let the observing begin! What is…[Read more]

Thanks, @clairec! Daddy was asking me last night if anyone called me, “Daeus’s little sister,” and I was able to say “yes.” *Looks around.* I do love it here. : )

Muchas gracias, @aratrea! I forgot to mention I’m learning Spanish, and it just comes out. Watch out! You might have to use google translate a little more than you used to now, unless you know Spanish. : )

Thanks for the enthusiastic welcome, @jane-maree!

I shoot with a D3100 Nikon camera.

Actually, I just picked up hand-lettering very recently. I use envelopes as my practice paper, and I write a lot of cards. It wasn’t very hard to learn, actually. Just took some enthusiasm. : ) I’m still in the beginning stages, but it’s a lot of fun, and I’m…[Read more]

Thanks @arella-noreen!
I’m glad you like photography. It seems that I have to take 20 pictures to get one good one sometimes, but I’m learning! Yes, I know that sigh of contentment – it’s my buddy. That’s why I take 20 pictures to get a good one. : )

@Kina-Lamb ha! 😀 I actually don’t remember where I first saw it… but I’ve always loved the picture, and when I first joined the forum it was just the obvious choice. 😉

thanks @kate-flournoy!

And btw, I’ve been meaning to ask you this ever since I saw your profile picture a couple of years ago: where did you get your profile picture? I love it!

Aw, thanks @jess! That’s really encouraging.

I am writing a (hopefully) short story with one of my pen-pals. I think it’s supposed to be a mystery story. I am also writing my own story – a children’s story. I think it’s important that the books children read are wholesome and productive, and it’s hard to find books like that these days. I also…[Read more]

@audrey-caylin Technically, no, though possibly you may be able to apply some of the principles of writing a villain to handling a negative EIL.

@Arella-Noreen Heh, well, I live in Maryland, so no, I wasn’t there. What exactly is a Texas Christian Homeschool Prom? 🙂

@Kina-Lamb Whoa, plot twist! Daeus has a writing sister! And I know a lot of people have already mentioned this, but I’m going to also anyway. (please ignore my grammar 😉 ) Your photography is SO pretty! I don’t know how some people do it. I took a photography class this year, and totally flopped. 😛 Anyway, so glad you joined!

@Jenali Oh, yeah, that’s always fun. I have a hardened character with a pointy personality,and her name is Shar.

Another thing I do is take a word and write it backwards, then add or subtract letters till it sounds nice.
