I just want to let all you MBTI people know that you have infected me. The other day I was talking to my mom about characters and so forth, and started spouting a whole bunch of random facts about personality types. I received just a few odd looks… XD

@emma-flournoy @adry_grace Am I the know-it-all now? I honestly don’t know, but I do know that you can get on the waiting list, and usually a couple of families can’t make it because of illness/traveling issues, so you’d most likely be able to go. You’d have to be all packed and ready and waiting for the phone call, though!

@emma-flournoy @adry_grace I just remembered, you might also be able to find some information on this website as we get closer to September. This is the website of one of the families that runs the camp. Sometimes they have an “event” page, and there’s some information on there. http://www.bontragerfamilysingers.com

@dragon-snapper Hey, at least that means you’ve been making progress! *high-five.* It’s been five years since I wrote my first story, and yes, just ouch. : ) I don’t think I would still be writing, though, if it wasn’t for the two girls that first read my story. At that time, I was enthusiastic about it. They simply read it, smiled, and said it…[Read more]

@jane-maree yay! Somebody else has a secret agent in their story!!! Yipee!!! I was kind of skeptical about my agent, because the only stories I’ve ever read with a secret agent in them were kind of cheesy with so many stock characters, and I didn’t want that to happen to my story. It’s encouraging to know that it can be done. Thanks!

@jane-maree what is the situation your characters are in so that they speak several languages? Do you know any French?

@jane-maree that’s really neat! I’ve thought about writing a story with some Spanish in it, too. It’d be a lot of fun, wouldn’t it?

@jane-maree That’s a good one! I’ll be paying closer attention to the movie credits from now on.

@christi-eaton Thanks so much! By all means, get your brother on board! Is he a writer? I guess you see I already friended (or is it befriended) you. : )

Wow, that’s really neat! @jane-maree y @graciegirl may I ask why you both started learning Spanish? I love to hear people’s stories.

Eso es excelente, @jane-maree! Wow, there’s two! How long have you been learning Spanish? How do you learn it?

@graciegirl oops, didn’t tag you correctly.

@gracie-girl Okay, confession time. I did have to look up aprendo. But otherwise, I understood you without google translate! To answer you, I will have to speak ingles because I’m feeling too lazy right now to reach for the mouse and look up how to say ‘excited’ in español. I have been learning Spanish for about half of a year, but I’ve been…[Read more]

To everyone looking at this:

Something I’ve found helpful is to flip through a hymnbook, and look at the names of the people who wrote the hymns. I do this absolutely every single time I write a story, and it is SO helpful! There are so many names in a hymnbook, and they were all real people, so they all have legitimate last names… and most of…[Read more]
