@keilah-hI think @stephie was trying to say she might say something that offends someone. And my point was that even if it does spark backlash, we shouldn’t be afraid to stand for what God has created and called sacred. I think the reason there is such an attack on marriage right now is because the union of a man and woman is a reflection of the…[Read more]

@stephieThat’s disgusting how they’ve changed it from the original story so much. I loved Anne of Green Gables as a child, and if the series would stick to the way the story actually was, I would love to watch it. However, if it’s gonna be full of stuff like that, it’s not worth it to me. I’m not ever going to apologize for promoting marriage th…[Read more]

@stephieYep that’s pretty much how I am, too. Also you’re cracking me up with all these insults to Wyoh lolol. @esther-cI love that article! I agree… We need more light-hearted books. I feel like I’ve struggled to write that way because I feel like it’s not relevant or it starts to fall flat. But I used to write stories based off of my f…[Read more]

@stephie

Wyoh looks like an egg mcmuffin. (It worked last time.)

Lol I’m still stuck on this haha!I would give a response to your question but I’m too tired right now to piece my thoughts together.

@stephie Wyoh really doesn’t like you… I can’t see your post.

@whalekeeper @esther-c @savannah_grace2009 @loopylinOk, so this might sound very basic, but I think for me, my writing stems from storytelling. I’ve had several people, who didn’t even know me or know that I write, tell me that I’m a storyteller. I think most writers are storytellers, but not all, at least not all in the same way. I have struggled…[Read more]

@whalekeeper I promise I’ll respond to this at some point, my weekend has been super busy! Love the topic idea… I think I’ve already shared some thoughts in the discussion you already mentioned. Anyway I need to go to bed now but I’ll give my response when I have a little more time to think through my answers. 

@stephieIs it kind of an allegorical type of story? 

@stephieI’m intrigued… I don’t think I personally could write from the perspective of a villain of sorts, and I don’t know where your plot is going, but I can already see this turning into a redemption story. Even just that brief glimpse draws me in. Great job! 

@stephieAhhh I think Wyoh ate my post!Thanks! I appreciate that! I hope to share some more of the story at some point, but right now most it is still not written out. I feel like I’ve been discovering what happens as I’m writing it, because I didn’t initially sit down with a plot in mind, but it’s just fallen together as I write. So there’s still…[Read more]

I have a snippet of a scene from a contemporary story I’ve been working on recently. This scene sort of just flowed and I’m loving the sibling relationship between River (the MC) and her brother Blaze. I haven’t shared anything from this WIP before because it’s still very new, and quite honestly, I started it without having any idea of what the…[Read more]

@beth-torresLol… we were hiking through the fog one time and it gave me the warm fuzzies because it made me think of mystery novels. My dad was just mad because he couldn’t see the mountains we were supposed to be seeing, and to this day he still doesn’t understand why I liked the fog XD. 

@acancelloI guess it depends what you use social media for and what you like to post. I do have Insta, and used to have Facebook. I think Facebook was easier to post on (Insta only lets you do ten photos in a post, so if you’re a photographer like me who likes to dump photos from a photo shoot, it’s a little frustrating. Also sometimes depending…[Read more]

Haha here are some Madlibs quotes from my household:Q: What is the strangest bench you have ever eaten?A: Boys dipped in gasoline.”While waiting, do not jump in the middle of the street. You might get run over by a sticky mushroom.””My head is growling.” 

Oops got the tag wrong @theducktator 

@theductatorI love those Madlib quotes! Maybe I should go dig up some of my own…

Oooh memories were just triggered lol. Enjoy this one:Classmate 1: *eating a Clif bar* “This looks like a dehydrated hamster.”Classmate 2: “What?”Classmate 1: “Yeah, like just imagine sticking a hamster in the food processor and dehydrating it. It would look like this.”Same classmate also remarked that he liked eating rotten wood with termites.

@highscribeofaetheriumI feel like a lot of people I know have been sick the past two weeks or so. My dad and I were just talking to our youth pastor at church this morning and he was saying his whole family had something this past week and several of them had fevers for three or four days straight. He himself said he couldn’t even drink coffee, it…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetheriumI think Wyoh ate your post here?

@loopylinYeah it seemed like all of a sudden there were multiple glitches happening. The other day the forums stopped loading for me, too- I’d click on one and it would never open up. I finally gave up, and when I came back later it was fine.
