@jenwriter17 While I love performing, as long as I am sure I know what I’m doing, when I am uncertain of the audience or of whether I have my piece polished I get that very same dizziness.  My head gets hot, and if I’m playing an instrument instead of singing I have to focus on my hands.  So I totally understand!  I’ll be praying that you are ab…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Oh, I know. I wish I had the time and money to go this year, but I think I’ll have to wait to go next year. But this way I have extra time to work on my novel.

@warrenluther04 You’re right, I’m in Eastern time, but when I say late at night…I mean 12:00-3:00 a.m. 😮 😀  I stay up really late…

That’s also because that’s the time Seekjustice is usually on because it’s afternoon for her in Australia.  If you go take a look at Writers’ Corner you’ll see where we talk into the “wee hours of the mo…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Hopefully, but you know how publishing is. It’s difficult. But it’s my plan to get published this year or next year, so that I can be published before college.

It’s hard work, but I think I can do it. 😀

@jenwriter17 Me beloved novel. I’ve basically been binge-editing so I can try to get contracted this year. 😀

@Jenwriter17 I’m editing! 😀

@eppicaddie2 I’m actually doing it this time. O.O

@warrenluther04 I just realized that I forgot to comment on your last installment!  And after asking you to tag me and everything! *embarrassed face* Oh well, I’ll say that both of them are great. 😉

And I got to work with @seekjustice !!! Hooray!  I don’t know if most people realize how much Seekjustice and I talk since it’s usually really l…[Read more]

Whoops I missed you @seekjustice thanks for the prayers!

@daughteroftheking

Thank you for the prayers, I have more general peace today. Which is something I’ve been struggling to find for a long time.

Not a writer. Yes I’ll pray I know that same feeling, I’ve dealt with that most of my preteen and all my teen years and it’s so discouraging

@destiny I have actually published Warrior Cats fanfiction on Wattpad. There is a lot of fanfiction hanging around there too that is similar.

From my knowledge of copyright laws, you only get in trouble if the creator of it tries to sue you (don’t quote me on that, as I have a very basic understanding on all this). I know there are certain…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 I hope to do NaNo this upcoming November 🙂 Have you done it before? Is creating an account on their site necessary?

@seekjustice Oh, goodness! 😀  Haha!  Looking at the calendar here I see it’s the 30th, but now I realize that’s because it’s past midnight.  So today was really Thursday, and tomorrow will be Good Friday, as you say.

Okay, see you later!

@seekjustice *copies list into a Word document* 😀  Yup, I’m almost halfway through A Little Bush Maid.  It’s very similar to a lot of American books from the same period, and very good.

Hm, okay.  My favorite American poet is Edgar A. Guest.  He writes in a very down-to-earth style, sort of like Banjo Patterson, I guess, but American, if you…[Read more]

@valtmy Thanks!  If you request edit access you can put the edits directly in the comments if you like.  But you don’t have to. 🙂

Yes!!!  If she had just told Uncle Bill that she couldn’t get to the water he would have told her to break the window.  I’m planning to have that discussion later in the book. 😀  Just not right now.  Right now she’s…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m sorry, but just as you’ve next to no knowledge of American history, I’d never heard of your Eureka flag. 😀  I just looked it up, so I see what it is now.  Looks like we’ll have to trade histories!  Do you have any books or movies you would recommend  that would give a good picture of your history?

I find it funny that Ken Ham…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh, interesting! 😀  Yes, I think I did recognize the similarities when I read your book, but I brushed it off as the simple truth that there aren’t that many different ways you can design a flag, so a lot of flags just happen to be similar.  That’s really cool, though!

I’ve found a whole lot of books I’d forgotten I had.<…

@seekjustice Well, I’ll try to keep this short…the Civil War started because the Southern states felt the government was becoming too powerful, since the Constitution has a clause which says something like “all other powers are reserved to the States” so the South thought the government was making too many extra laws.  One of those laws was…[Read more]

@destiny Yes, I knew that, and I just added the other stuff as a disclaimer of sorts. 😀  I hope the link is a little helpful!

@seekjustice I’ve actually never read The Red Badge of Courage. 😮 😀  That’s partially because I prefer lighter reads to the classics, (you’re much braver than I on that score, 😉 ) and partially because I’m a Southerner.  Did you know that there are still people on both sides in America?  There are a lot of people who still believe the Conf…[Read more]
