@kaya-young I also grew up in a Christian home, but I am wondering about your wording a little bit. 🙂  I would say I’ve always believed in Christ, rather than always known Him.  Because just knowing about him and believing it’s true isn’t enough to get to heaven.  The Bible says that even the demons believe.  We can’t inherit Christ from our p…[Read more]

@mark-kamibaya  Gotcha. Well hey, film-making is technically writing, too, right? XD

And as long as I’m here I shall lay out a bunch of my favorite movies…

• Inside Out
• Finding Dory
• Home (animated film)
• The Cat Returns
• Big Hero 6
• Zootopia
• Despicable Me
• LEGO Movie
• LEGO Batman Movie
• Peanuts Movie
• Rio, and the sequel
• Kung…

@ashlyvye Awesome! I love genres. I write science fiction. Right now, my WIP trilogy is a kind of dystopian world + some space but not very extended space – aliens (no aliens) + big government + cool technology.

So yeah. Whatever that is called. 😛

@ashlyvye  Good topic idea!

Let’s see… I don’t know what genre I write in… I have a novella that’s science-fiction/fantasy, but other than that I have a huge mix of other things 😛

@sleepwalkingmk  You mean when Rochellaine claims to have made me disappear? Here it is 🙂

@warrenluther04, yay. I love this. I can’t wait for my character to come in!!!

Um, my (character of course) name is Bethany, but I’d rather most people didn’t know that. I might tell a close friend, but prefer to be known as File Writer. ☺

@rochellaine, I agree with you completely. There is no such thing as “Good Magic”. There is only the power of God. All sorcery comes from the devil. Although, I would be fine if my character befriended an elf, I don’t think I would really like it if magic is involved. No offence to anybody who likes that kind of thing. Some magic I don’t mind. For…[Read more]

@seekjustice “Normal” for my family is different than for most families. 🙂  The little kids go to bed when we tell them to, but the older kids stay up until we’re tired, as long as we get up in time to finish what school we’re supposed to do before lunch the next day.  And my schedule is even more different because I’m not homeschooled anymore, s…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m back now too! 🙂  I skipped out for a while to get ready for bed…and to get another “wee hours of the morning” snack.

Oh, good.  Yeah, I have a first draft of my novel with a whole long scene where an antagonist and someone he’s mad at quote The Princess Bride at each other, which I put in as a joke and always planned to ta…[Read more]

@daeus  Ooh! Those sound interesting!

Have you ever heard of or seen the movie The Insanity of God? Your post reminded me of it. I would recommend it! but I don’t think it’s out yet… It’s about a couple of missionaries spreading the Gospel in the African Muslin country of Somalia. It’s really exciting and tugs your heart. 8 out of 10.

Note:…[Read more]

@warrenluther04  I post new parts every Tuesday and Saturday 🙂 Oh, and it’s Trapperton.

It’s awesome. Believe me. 😉

@seekjustice Enjoy the schoolwork!  I may go to bed, or I may still be up.  Tag me when you come back, and if I’m awake I’ll answer. 🙂

Lose oars and run over waterfall.

See you later…tonight or tomorrow!

Oh, and I’m commenting on your story, but if you do cut out the words I’m suggesting please keep the original draft, because I’m afraid t…[Read more]

@seekjustice I adore comical poems! *writes down “Banjo Patterson, poet” in random Word document*

Having things fall on you made me think first of “Ding dong!  The Witch is dead!” 😀  but I think having a house fall on you would be so rare as to not count for this discussion.

Therefore I will put forth as my accident: Wild animal s…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh, I will have to read that poem…but sometime when I get my strength back.  Three strikes in one night might knock me out. 🙂

An earthquake opens up a crack in the ground and someone falls in.

Boy, am I going to have nightmares tonight! 😀

@seekjustice This time I’m not going to wake my sisters up with my laughter, but with my sniffing. 🙁 I just finished the quick reread so now I’ll go back through and try to find ways to shorten portions of it.  I don’t know that I’ll be able to, though.

In the heat of the summer a wild forest fire breaks out and a camper is caught inside…[Read more]

@dekreel Okay, if you’re sure…

@seekjustice Yes, it works.  But the story’s so perfect I don’t want to cut it down at all!  I’m afraid to get to the end, because I remember it and know I’m going to cry.

…falling off cliffs, for one? 😀  Want to play a game?  With each post we have to think of a new way someone can die accidentally.  The person who can’t think of another one…[Read more]

@rochellaine  Don’t blame yourself! It wasn’t you — believe me 😉
