That’s a great idea, Rosey! We should nominate you master of the ceremonies, (is that the right term?) since it was your idea.
I’ve always thought of myself as a KPer, but I’m not against changing that. 🙂 From that list, Knights of Kingdom Pen is my favorite.

Would it make more sense if you used “check mark” or “check” instead of “tick”?
…unless you really are talking about ticks… 🙂

I would either show them fighting like @Daeus said, or I would show someone stealing. Maybe someone with a sneaky expression walking out of a market stall/ shop with something half-hidden under his cloak, while the shopkeeper angrily argues with another customer. That would be less violent, but the fight-scene idea is much funnier.

@writefury– That looks like a really neat organization. 🙂

That does sound helpful.

What is MBTI?

@writefury – Sorry about the delay. What is HaYovel?

@bluejay and @Anna-Brie Oops, I meant besides you. Sorry. 🙂 Thanks for the list. It seems I’ve heard of Jackie French somewhere, but not the others. I’ll look for them.

@overcomer– I grew up in Virginia! It’s one of my favorite states.

@Anna-Brie Liberal is your Conservative party? In America, the liberals are the opposite of the conservatives, and the Democrats have decidedly unChristian values. I had no idea that the same word could be used so differently in different countries. 🙂

@writefury – YOU HAVE? It is one of my life dreams to go to Israel. Hopefully I’ll go as a reporter and cover current events; that would be so cool. (Although I’m learning that being a reporter can be very frustrating.) I’m so tired of the anti-Israel media, aren’t you? What did you do in Israel?

@bluejay – I’ve never heard of any Australian…[Read more]

You know, Tessa, that would make a cute children’s book if you put an illustration for every two stanzas or so. And “mad” sounds fine if your audience is younger children.

@bluejay – Wow, you know more about Arizona than I do. 🙂 We’ve driven by Tombstone, but we didn’t see the rose bush. Australia has some of the coolest wildlife, I think. Frilled lizards are better than rattlesnakes. Have you ever been to the Great Barrier Reef?
And, if you haven’t noticed, Ted Cruz is the BEST presidential candidate.

5000 words a day! Ouch. I know I couldn’t do that. Good for you!

Hi Tessa! I live in Arizona, in the Sonoran Desert. We have tarantulas, scorpions, and sandstorms here, and it gets quite hot. The springtime, when the cactus flowers bloom, is very beautiful. However, the mountains here are brown. I like green mountains better.
Facts about America:
The east coast is very beautiful, especially when the leaves turn…[Read more]

@Daeus – Maybe e-publishing site is the wrong word for it. I like it because it has a manuscript editor that you can write your book in, as well as create an outline and format chapters, etc. And it’s free (I think). Is there a better option?

@dbhgodreigns – Thanks for the advice.

Definitely. Research is actually one of my favorite things about writing. 🙂

What if you changed “human” to “mankind” in stanza two?

@Daeus – That’s a good point. In real life, a person’s thoughts usually influence their actions. The same should be true of our characters.
