@dragon-snapper So I got here a week and a half late, read your incredible story, and then had to wade through 24 pages of personality type and Frozen rants just to see if you did a sequel yet 😀 That was hilarious! And I’m seconding Brianna’s suggestion to refer to Josiah as “The Wiser” from now on 😀

Anyhoo, just thought I’d add my voice to…[Read more]

Hi everyone! One of my friends over at Kingdom Pen has put together a cool survey on reader habits for research purposes. He’s aiming for a thousand people to take it so that the information’s useful, so if any of you have a few minutes to take a look that would be fantastic.…[Read more]

You should try sharing it in the Young Writers Workshop Facebook group (the one started by Brett Harris). It’s pretty active and has over 500 members. https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheYoungWritersWorkshop/

I love this. So much. Please move it to the top of your bottomless pile of graphic ideas so that I can plaster it across every social media platform I have. More people need to understand the importance and serious business of water flinging 😀

How does Bible Bee actually work? I’m a Bible Quizzer, and so far I’ve word-for-word memorised about half of the book of Luke this year which has been great 🙂

@Kina-Lamb. Gosh I’m late. But I offer you a hearty welcome to the Kingdom nonetheless! I too have a younger sister lurking behind my shoulder who I hope will sit down and make her own account someday.

Also, random fact about me: we almost have the same camera. Mine’s a D3300 Nikon 🙂 I checked out your site; nice work! If you’re interested you…[Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya I’m so sorry to hear that. I will be praying for you and your family.

Gosh I’m late. Still, I extend the warmest welcome into the Kingdom! Also, thank you for introducing me into the fascinating world of Enneagrams. I think I’m a type 9 or 2… will have to look in this further.

I’ve read all 60 of the original Sherlock stories (which I love. Can you tell?). My favourite was The Dying Detective- short but brilliant!

@Ethryndal You are too kind 😀 I still don’t disagree you two (the whole thing was rushed, given too much attention, etc.), and am in general far more fond of Fili, Bilbo, and Thorin.

@dragon-snapper @perfectfifths The quote’s from M.W. Smith in 1889 😀 Even back then people were complaining about vocabulary reduction!

@Overcomer I’m so sorry to hear that. Your family will definitely be in my prayers.

@Ethryndal You’ve probably already lost all vestiges of respect for me by now, but I just wanted you to know I painted that starlight quote and hung it on my wall.

Here’s a fun one that I missed: terpsichorean. Of or relating to dancing 😀

And on a rather unrelated note, can anyone guess when this quote on vocabulary was written? No cheating! 🙂

“The vocabularies of the majority of high-school pupils are amazingly small. I always try to use simple English, and yet I have talked to classes when quite a m…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I took a look at the list of the hardest words on the test (http://testyourvocab.com/hard), and apparently they only occur in English less than 3 times per hundred million words. So you’re absolutely right, no one should be taking this too seriously.

Glad you’re all having fun with this 🙂 *applauds @northerner respectfully*

My vocabulary’s apparently grown since I took this test last year and I now average at around 29,000.
