Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Why Paolini works (or doesn't) in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month ago
@Sarah-H I don’t remember… it was a very old, vague account and I read it a long time ago. I think they were somewhere around the size of a turkey, and I don’t think they could fly, though they were said to be very colorful. Fun thinking about, isn’t it? 😀 Greedy, colorful, turkey-sized dinosaurs… XD
I know!
…And it’s really funny, if…[Read more] -

I agree on the magic dragon part. Not much of a fan. In my books that I’m writing (which book 1 is going to come out summer of ’17) my dragons just breathe fire and wreak havoc (no magic included).
You need to read the Peleg Chronicles. I gobbled the whole trilogy in 2 days. Great writing.
Were those “magpie” dragons…[Read more] -

@Sarah-H New Age is one of the weirdest things I’ve ever come across, so none of that surprises me in the least.
I haven’t read the Peleg Chronicles, but I’ve heard a lot of good things about them.
Dinosaur dragons are really fun though. And did you know that there were little tiny ‘magpie’ dragons (in Old Saxony, I think) who hoarded colorful…[Read more]

Anna Brie replied to the topic Politics in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month ago
@Sarah-H Polictics in Australia is a bit complicated at the moment. Both of the major parties are becoming more radical. The ‘convervative’ party is in government at the moment, but our Prime Minister really ought to be in the other party. Also the senate is very hostile, and there are numerous people from strange small parties. More than there…[Read more]

Politics in Switzerland is a rather interesting subject. We have a political system that is very, very close to a complete democracy. So, Switzerland is what the majority wants. Right now, it tends to be rather socialist. As for the separation of the state and church, that is relatively new here.
We have twenty something political parties here,…[Read more] -

@kate-flournoy Yeah, I’ve heard that dragon legends come from dinosaurs. Ken Ham really promotes that and I believe it. But I think @sarah-h is right in that most New Age cults do believe in special “relationships” with supernatural beings. Eragon and his dragon’s relationship sounds a lot like the relationship of New Age cults in that they can…[Read more]

@Sarah-H it’s very possible they believe that, and I think that’s disgusting. However, in my experience most dragon legends come from dinosaurs. How much have you read on that? It’s actually fascinating.

Hi @sarah-h! I’ll tag @bluejay too, so she can see some of my news. I am doing well. Summer is now in full swing in Queensland. average lows temperatures of mid 30s (Celsius. in Fahrenheit, that’s high 80s) and a bit more rain than usual. Hanging out for the end of the school year. You lucky things don’t have that anymore. I discovered I can’t…[Read more]

@sarah-h According to Mum, Trump is in. Hillary had conceded and packed up. Why we know before America I have no idea? Apparently Trump made it in easily so I have no idea what is going on. I guess we’ll just have to wait till tomorrow to know for definite.

Election day is today (you probably already knew that, unless you’ve been living in a hole in the ground 😉 ). Let’s take the time to pray for our country today.
Thy will be done, Lord.

Yes! Please take a minute (preferably at least five minutes) to come before the Throne and find rest in His peace. We don’t have to worry because we know that God has everything under control. Maybe, through some mysterious twist of fate, this election will improve America. However, sometimes, it was God’s plan for the Israelites to be defeated.…[Read more]

Amen @julia-r! Thank YOU for reminding me. I’m trying to rest in the Lord, but it’s so hard not to worry. I know that God’s got this. 🙂

Thanks for the reminder, Greta.
-
Yes @Gretald. Thank you.
-
Amen. Bless the polls, Lord.
@julia-r
Just like you said, whatever the outcome, it’s under control. -
Yes, let’s all pray for America. Good to be reminded, @Gretald.

Thanks for the reminder, Greta. So many people are afraid today, but I know God is in control.

Thank you for the reminder, @gretald! May the LORD’s will be done.

Amen!! @corissa-maiden-of-praise

Yes! Thank you for that prodding. It’s cool to know that there are young Christian writers out there who care about these things; you guys inspire me.
-
It’s a beautiful day, no matter the outcome of the election- because we know where our true citizenship lies. Thanks for the reminder, @gretald
-
Yes, let’s do that. We need it. (Like always…)
-
Going to just take a second to say, you guys are beautiful people and a true encouragement. It’s such a blessing to see you all bind together and write for the Kingdom of God and support others who choose to do the same. <3 *fades back into the shadows*

I got about 979 while you wrote with me. I had started earlier and so I end with a grand total of 1440. Can’t wait to read the ‘youknowwhat’ 🙂 Thank you for writing with me. I’m glad we were able to do so. @sarah-h

@sarah-h YES! Contact. We can move into the Writers’ Corner #3 to post word scores when we’re done.
Oh good. I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ve come up with. 🙂-

@bluejay That’s the question every American is asking right now. They’re having trouble counting the votes- it looks like it will be pretty close either way. I personally think Trump won, but we won’t know until the morning.
Oh, I’m so glad you like it! I can’t wait to see the end result. 🙂 -

@bluejay Trump won. I think our media is biased. It’s so funny that you know who our president is before we do.

@clairec Summer rain…that sounds wonderful. Here, it’s late fall and starting to get cold. “Vintage literary” does sound cool, but I’m not exactly sure what it means. Old books? Classics? Wait, are you seventeen now? Happy birthday!!!!! 🙂
Yeah, HAPPY BIRTHDAY @clairec 🙂
@clairec @bluejay Right now we’re watching a series on Australia. I finally understand why you call it “the bush” instead of “forest”. 🙂
What’s the series called? Good, glad you get to see our wonderful homeland. It’s an awesome place to live.
East, West, Home is Best! 🙂

Okay! I am very sorry that this is so belated. I’d written it in a document and forgot to post it. @sarah-h (and @bluejay), here we go! *takes a big breath and lets it out slowly*
