@faithdk, Cool! I’ve never had goat milk before. And yes, they tasted good. 😛

@Daeus, that’s so cool! 🙂 Where you by any chance at the Celtic Ball in December of 2015? I thought I saw someone who looked like you there, but I wasn’t sure.
Hm… you just may be surprised. Obviously nothing’s certain, but I’ve a gut feeling you just may be surprised.
@kate-flournoy, I hope you’re right…
Okay, I just gotta say it right…

Hope Ann started the topic Newletters in the forum 10 years, 7 months ago
Just wondering if anyone had suggestions or good ideas about what a writer’s newsletter should contain. I have a monthly one right now and I want it to be fun, yet somewhat official. (Basically, I want to use it for marketing at times, but I also want it to be fun) And I want there to be special stuff there that people who don’t get the newsletter…[Read more]

That is quite funny, actually. And ‘Republican’ used to be a dirty word— now it’s the other way around. 😛

-Trump’s probably going to win the Republican nomination. Sadly. Very Sadly.
Hm… you just may be surprised. Obviously nothing’s certain, but I’ve a gut feeling you just may be surprised.
Now if Rubio would drop out, that might flip things right around.
I cannot tell you how much I wish he would drop out— and Carson a…[Read more]

Welcome! Awesome username by the way 😉 I love archery and basketball too. Do you mostly just write poems? What’s your favorite genre? Can’t wait to read your poem! 🙂

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Building Characters Inside-Out in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 7 months ago
Well actually @Sarah-h, in my current novel the MC’s arc spans… eh… one two three four… four? Yes, four years, and it’s not been either annoying or unrealistic. In fact, it’s more realistic to have the character take a long time to make up their mind, because no one really makes snap decisions on that level of importance… specially when…[Read more]

Hope Ann started the topic Character conversions and death in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 7 months ago
So, I was thinking the other day about how much more a Christian author has to do when writing a Christian story than a ‘normal’ author has to do. And this mainly has to do with characters being Christians. In a ‘non-Christian’ story, a bad guy might redeem himself and die in the process and it’s somewhat sad but everything is as it should be. In…[Read more]

Hope Ann replied to the topic Chatter in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 7 months ago
Well, I’ve written 2500 of today’s 5000 words and am on here taking a quick break. 🙂 I’m writing 5000 words a day for five days (i.e. this week) so I can complete the rough draft of my novella. The story itself is going well, though sometimes I fear it may be a little slow. And writing is going well to, though there comes a point around the…[Read more]

Near Columbus (north of Delaware). What about you? @Daeus

Greta replied to the topic Where do you live? in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 7 months ago
@Daeus, true, true. Sorry. 🙂 Okay, I’ll stop now. I just need to give it back to God.
All that being said, I’m proud to be an American, and America is truly a wonderful place to live. 😀

Hope Ann replied to the topic Where do you live? in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 7 months ago
The Ark, yes @Daeus! And we have a Creation Museum…has anyone been there? I have, twice.
Anyhow, I live in Indiana, otherwise known as the crossroads of America. And yes, lots of corn and soy beans. And some winter wheat; that’s cool to watch grow in the spring.
But @kate-flournoy…no American authors? What about Mark Twain (some of the…[Read more]

Another Ohioan here. Can I just say that Ohio is the most underrated state in the US? It’s really a very pretty state, and I love here. 🙂
Okay, stuff about the US…hmm…

-Hillary’s going to win the Democratic nomination. Again, sadly.

BlueJay replied to the topic How fast do you read? in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 7 months ago
Yay, Anna! I’m not the only one who reads like that. My sister on the other hand read soooooooooo slowly. She has so many good books to read and it will take her forever to get to them. And I have to be careful not to spoil the plot before she’s read them. But thankfully she is starting to speed up.

Whew! Glad to hear it, @Daeus, glad to hear it…
And believe it or not, I actually knew both of those facts. I just wish all the submarine crews hadn’t drowned trying it out. 🙁
In fact, if you read the story of that first submarine, there’s something about it that appeals to the novelist bit of me (which is like 99.10 % of me) very strongly. I…[Read more] -

Wait wait wait wait— Lew Wallace was American?
I take it all back. Every word of it.

I live in Indiana. And yeah, I agree with @Daeus: we grow way too much corn (and soybeans too. Which is about all you’ll see in the country: soybeans and corn). In Indiana there is mostly just fields, trees, and houses, if you count out all the main cities. In my opinion, this state is pretty boring (especially when you’ve lived here your whole…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I know lots of great USA authors. When I get home, I’m out at the moment, (can’t keep away) I’ll see who I can find for you.
I don’t mind. I’m 18 so I’ll have to vote this year. *crinkles up nose in disgust* I really don’t know much about the political side of stuff, so I might find it a bit tough to figure out *the good guys*.…[Read more] - Load More
