Sorry. I’ll try not to repeat myself in later posts. 😉
To clarify on certain points left too vague. The first two stories are about humans in a human world. The last is about an animal only world.
Knights= pastors/missionaries

Hi! Gramercy for inviting me!
Your book sounds so intriguing! Yes, I’m hooked.
So, here are three of my premisses. (Yes, I stole them from one of my former posts. I don’t type that quickly)
Possibility (because that’s what it is): Aethelthryth was set apart from her very birth. Her father was a serf whom the King freed. H…[Read more]

@maryg3 You stayed in a manor house in Ireland? That’s… *At a loss for words*. What was is like?
I’ve grown up as a homeschooler PK in a small town, so yeah, church can be a rather social place… but with Bible quizzing, the library, and our homeschool group, it’s not like we’re really isolated. (Or maybe I just don’t know the difference)

Thank you! Yes, the first two are only human, and the last is only animals. I’m glad it was fun to read. I think the personality of each story worked its way into the synopses.
Which do you like best?

Wow, a forum given entirely up to WIP related blather? STUPENDOUS!
Where do I start? An introduction, that’s where!

Yay! Thank you. In fact, the shortage of well written Biblically sound analogies is what prompted me to make up one of my WIPs.

Helmer is awesome! His nearing brutal outside hides such a tender heart. Yes, that conversation is priceless.
I have not read all the books exactly, because I only skim-read the last, but I have read all the rest. My personal favorite is either The Green Ember or Ember Falls. Which is funny, since when we first heard that a certain rabbit may…[Read more]

This post has stirred me; I cannot be silent. 😉
I totally agree, and no, you don’t sound over cautious to me. As John 1:1-14 makes very clear, His Word is not something to play with, for “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”,”And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,(and we beheld His…[Read more]

Jaybird replied to the topic What’s an unexpected place you got a story idea from? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 11 months ago
Ugh, I can’t remember…, but I have had many ideas from listening to music, especially worship/altar. For example, the soloist sings something like: “You didn’t think you’d make it through the night,/ It’s a wonder you survived,/ but you’re still here…” And a sunrise-on-the-battlefield scene pops into my head. Also I have a habit of listening…[Read more]

So, this is a poem/song from one of my books. There are two forms in said book, but I will only be posting the ‘ancient’ form (The ‘new’ form is supposed to have flaws). This is a Battle/marching song for this country.

Most of my ideas come from my other story ideas that came from some book I read. I have gotten ideas from sermons, although that makes sense.
However, my family once attended a gigantic firework show (it would probably have been illeagal if we were any where else). I now have an air raid scene.

Oh dear. Well that’s comforting, in a weird sort of way. I “probably” have errors of technique too.

Every 12-18 months? Ok, I should be able to accommodate that.

That makes sense. My rosin is 9 years old, so yeah, it’s pretty dry.
No, my bow had never been been rehaired, but I haven’t actually played untill this year. Then again, the damage even a careful 7 year old my have doomed it.
Thank you so much for answers. I was beginning to think something was desperately wrong with my bowing.
