Gene Stratton-Porter! I can’t believe I forgot her— everybody should read Gene Stratton-Porter. Fantastic with characters.

I live in Indiana, and yes, we grow WAY TOO MUCH CORN!!!! It’s all over the place where I live. Um, let’s see, some facts about Indiana, the southern part is more hick and warm and receptive than the northern part of Indiana.
Indiana weather is bipolar. Seriously. It snowed the other day and then it was seventy degrees five days later. So it…[Read more]

@hope Wow! I don’t think I could do that either. Great job keeping up with it. 🙂

It’s not so much that words won’t come or I don’t know what to write; I simply just don’t want to write anymore…

I have the opposite problem! 🙂 Haha. I really want to write, but the words just wont come. For example: I put my characters in such difficult posit…[Read more]

@writefury No I have never tried a didgeridoo. I think I have heard one but I can’t remember where. Maybe it was on TV.

Next lot. 😛

Phew, that’s a lot. I have got to take a break for minute.
Come on you next lot. Let’s cover the USA. 😀

@sarah-h It’s been hard, but not overwhelmingly so. It’s not so much that words won’t come or I don’t know what to write; I simply just don’t want to write anymore…like around halfway through. 😉

Ah, let’s see, has anyone mentioned that today is Texas Independence Day? Texas is the only US State to be its own nation for several years before becoming a state. Well, I guess there were also the Hawaii Islands (which didn’t become a state until the 1950s) but I’m not sure that counts.

Right. Tags here they come.

Bother it! I just realized I titled this thread newletters instead of newsletters. I guess there’s nothing I can do about it now. ;(

Ah, yes, @Daeus, short and sweet. I’m hoping to overhaul my own newsletter this month, once I figure out how exactly I want to do it. Yes, I do get the Goodriter newsletters. I’ve been looking at them and about any…[Read more]

No, I don’t think so… but I don’t know if this forum even has forty four more active members, let alone all from different states. 😉

I was born in Texas, if that counts for anything… love that state, despite all the mosquitoes. 😀

Would it be considered rude to tag people so that they get notified about this conversation? (Cause that is not my intention) *puppy dog eyes*

@sarah-h I thought you might be interested since you are from Arizona. We (actually I should say, my two sisters) have just studied Arizona. Here are a few facts that we found out.
The flag: The 13 rays of the red and gold on the top half of the flag represent both the 14 original colonies of the Union and the rays of the Western setting sun. Red…[Read more]

Ok. Try this. (A big thanks to all who added their two bits) 😀

In a land long ago,
Where the men were all bad,
They swore by God’s name,
And made Him so mad.

He said, “I’ll destroy you.
I’ll wipe out human,
I’m sorry I made you.
I’ll start all again.”

But then He remembered
A God-fearing man,
His name of Noah,
God drew him a plan.

He tol…[Read more]

Sadly I’ve never had the chance to get my hands on a boomerang. (some Aussie I am. 😛 )

Hi Sarah. Hmmm….Australia.
The biggest island in the world and the smallest continent. We have three oceans that touch Australia. (I didn’t know about one until maybe two days again. 😀 )
Each state/territory is very different from each other. I have been to South Australia, New South Wales and and Kangaroo Island. (Just off South Aus)
I have…[Read more]

But @kate-flournoy…no American authors? What about Mark Twain (some of the time), Serena Chase, or umm, *clears throat at Grimina’s insistence* even lesser known authors who like retelling fairy tales?

Somehow I missed that the first time around, @hope… 🙂
I was thinking more classical, so I didn’t think of those, but yes all three of tho…[Read more]

@Daeus: That’s so funny! No, unfortunately, I have too much going this week. 🙁
