Let’s see; I’ve three…no, four fantasy worlds. But my most extensive one is Cember Earth.

There are 6 official Cember Earth nations, five in a landmass plus an island nation offshore (and a hidden, currently undiscovered city-state deep into the desert in the east.) Many of these nations are monarchies of various sorts, though some kings have…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Thanks, that is beautiful, Kate! (And true:) I will remember that.

@Daeus, That’s a great idea! I’ll just stop doing school and write all day…XD 😉 😛

It’s a good thing that you think so seriously about stuff like this, Mallory! I admire that, truly. One thing that helps me with this when I struggle over the difference between ‘making a name for myself’ and glorifying God is to remember that this gift isn’t even mine to be proud of. God gave it to me. There’s nothing at all I did to earn or…[Read more]

Hey @hislittlerose , @hope , @kate-flournoy ,

Good to meet/hear from all of you! welcome to the forum! (A little late, this welcome is. Absent because of forgotten password I have been, and spam inbox, clouded by the dark side it was;)

Feel free to introduce yourselves if you like, or talk to me here. There’s plenty of room!

Hey Hannah!

Sorry I haven’t replied sooner. My spam inbox loves this forum:/

My sister likes pudding cups. (Sorry, I know that was random, but she’s describing “no ordinary pudding cup” to me, which, by the way, “was better than cheesecake,” and I just couldn’t resist;)

I think both Hannah, and @aella are lovely names:)

How long have I…[Read more]

So, I’ve given it some more thought @kate-flournoy (by the way, I like your name!) and @daeus , and my mind is made up. I’m going with my real name after all. I can give glory to God in all that I do with or without my name on stuff. Maybe I’ll still use the pen name later on in my writing as a character’s name or something. We’ll see! :)…[Read more]

Thanks for your thoughts, @kate-flournoy @daeus !

I would just use my name, but I’m a little torn because I really like the pen name. I wonder too if using a pen name would help me to stay humble during my writing career, that is, if anything comes of it.

The one time something of mine was sort of published was incredible. Seeing my name…[Read more]

Well, I guess it all depends on why you want to use a pen name. For the longest time I thought I would be forced to— my last name being, as you see, rather an odd and unpronounceable one. 😉 But when I finally came to a decision, I realized that nothing, absolutely nothing, would compare to seeing my very own real name printed out on the cover…[Read more]

This poem reminds me of one I wrote to the Lord when I was struggling . . .

I don’t know if this is good or not, but it does capture feelings I’ve had, and I’m sure the feelings you had when you wrote it. Rereading it only makes me appreciate it more. Meaning is what good poetry should always be made of. Don’t stop writing your poetry,…[Read more]

@rolena-hatfield Did you see the Joseph in 2011 (or around then)?
I have been in three theatricals, getting the roles of Peter Pan (Peter Pan), a pirate (pirates of Penzance) and Aladdin (Aladdin). I have six siblings so we have put on some great home shows for Mum and Dad. And we did a talent show fundraiser which had acting too. That was a lot…[Read more]

@rolena-hatfield Wow! Which shows have you been to see? I have seen Joseph via DVD. (In fact I just watched it today! So awesome.) Which show did you audition for and who were you trying to get? I love to do Ruth of Joseph. Haha. If I ever do get in I will definitely let you know.
Thanks for the facts about Iowa. They’re great. The largest gnome…[Read more]
