Ah, this question.

I believe in a young earth, both scientifically and personally.

What is amazing to me is looking back at what we can figure out of how the Earth formed, and how that aligns with Scripture if you let Earth be young (Genesis 1 is shockingly scientific, so to speak).

(Plus, the Geologic record…there are some…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

You can do it! I would love to see it when it’s done, if you want to share, and if that helps give motive.

(But I totally get what you mean. I have a drawing I’ve been slowly working on, off and on, for about a year. All I have left are her feet and half her hair, but it’s still sitting on my desk, unfinished.)

@rae

Girl! That is so beautiful. I love it. The colors make a lot of sense. The moon is lovely, as are the leaves and his expression, in my opinion. I feel like I can really envision him now. My mental image has been edited. 😀 Thank you for sharing!

@hybridlore

Fabulous! I’ll try to make it.

*gags*

I don’t even know who to tag in this conversation. XD I loath sluggs. They’re cute in theory, but they also creeped me out as a little child. I struggle with slimey/sticky things already, so they just aren’t my thing. Lol.

My mother likes Banana slugs though. She has a sticker with one on it beside the name of her home state. (It’s a cute…[Read more]

@hybridlore

I might be able to make that! I haven’t been able to go to most of them so I’m not sure I’m on the list for a email link or not

@whalekeeper

Glad they’ll use numbing but it still sounds really unpleasant 😅

@loopylin

Yeah I didn’t know before either 😭

@jonas

Hmm.

I think I’ll join. I’m not going to be sharing all my writing though, just a scene here and there, as I mainly just need accountability in discipline. I’m hoping to get a group of 8-12 year-olds to beta read my books. XD

But we’ll see what works.

@rae

Ah, it’s adorable! I love the leaves and the way his hair is and the clean lines of the mouth. The details and proportions fit together perfectly. I’m very glad you posted it. 😁

@jonas

An accountability group like this would be great! Consistently writing large sections is not my strong point, lol. I have a fairly intense job this summer, but I’m still hoping to write in breaks, since I’m currently free of college.

I’m also not very comfortable with sharing much of my actual writing on an open forum like this.…[Read more]

@hybridlore

I should be available those first two dates. I won’t be the 7th. Ironically, it’s for a different zoom call. XD (intern stuff, not some rival group. 😉 )

Hmmm. I do want more accountability in my work. I don’t follow a traditional outline in the WIP I decided to focus on for the Summer, but I can get a Chapter/Word outline thingy put together, if that’s wanted.

I am working at a church/Bible college campground for the Summer though, so hours and stuff are gonna be weird. But at the same time, I…[Read more]

@loopylin

One time back when I was a kid and lived further west a giant slug slimed on me and we couldn’t get it off, even had to use that like industrial soap that has sand beads in it. I was crying so hard 😭

@whalekeeper

oof lol, I’ll pray for you! I’ve had scopes before but under anesthesia, I can’t imagine doing it awake!

@whalekeeper

I definitely understand from my perspective as a loved one of the sick person.

I’m glad you’re able to recognize it’s different, bc it really is but it’s still so much more understanding than most people have.

There is nothing more frustrating than thinking there is improvement, and backtracking for what seems like a ridiculous or…

@whalekeeper

My mum has complained about how doctors used to constantly tell her she was crazy and imagining things, which also led to self-image issues because they discriminated against her weight gain. I’m sorry you’re going through similar problems. Please update when you want, I want to listen too. <3<3

It’s really good to know som…[Read more]

@rae

Yeah ikr! It’s honestly so insane. And American healthcare isn’t the best at sorting that kind of stuff out in my experience.

Thank you so much < 3

@rae

Yeah Ikr! Unfortunately there aren’t enough doctors in my area so some kinds of healthcare are simply not available. For instance, my sister has been told she likely has ehlers danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that effects all parts of the body’s function. It’s supposed to be diagnosed by a rheumatologist but because there is a…[Read more]
