You know you’re a writer when you are playing family, and you are the long lost cousin from Australia who was in jail for arson and wants to burn down the White House.

Me and my brother have two friends who are Australian and for some reason I can imagine one of them actually doing that. 🤣

@elishavet-pidyon

I am having mixed emotions right now…..

First off, I loved that scene!!! It was so sweeetttt!!! 😍

Second… FiVe SnOwBaLlS?!?! *humphs* *does the math* Oh, that’s only 250 words. 😅🤣

Not as bad as I thought, lollll

@theduckator

Oh no! That’s really hard. My dad quit his job some years back because it was too stressful and not a good job to keep. He was without a full-time job for nine months. But the whole time God provided for us in so many different ways! God will get you guys through this. I promise. 🫂 Praying for y’all! 🩷

Oh! Another tradition our family has is reading through an Advent devotional throughout the month of December. 🥰

@koshka

Random side note because I did recently find this out. Easter is mentioned in the KJV Bible (Acts 12:4), but it was an incorrect/imperfect translation. Most other translations use Passover.

Huh, interesting… I just looked that up in KJV and ESV and you’re right. 🤔 I’ve never noticed that before!

That’s awesome. A lot of people I know ea…

@grcr you have no idea how relieved I am to hear that someone believes the same😂 I only know 1 family irl that don’t celebrate Christmas, and it often feels like my family is alone in what we believe about Christmas, and tbh it can get low-key lonely at times

We just personally believe that God deserves better than recycled material, that He…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

I second everything you’ve said. Literally, these are the EXACT same reasons we don’t celebrate Christmas!!

Also important to note that Americans saw/knew Christmas as a Pagan holiday until the 1800s when it became “popular” to celebrate Christmas partially because of an influx of German/Irish immigrants who regarded Christmas as a celebration of Jesus’ birth

@theshadow

Hiii. I’m gonna be the first on here to say that I don’t celebrate Christmas, and neither does my immediate family (meaning parents/siblings). :3

(and that’s one reason why Christmas will be pretty much absent from everything I write as well🤷🏻‍♀️)

However, I don’t look down on anyone that does. Celebrating or not celebrating…[Read more]

@anyone

I have a question but I don’t want to make a new topic…

How many chapters do you guys think is too many? My novel is running around 50 or so chapters and I’m not the closest to finishing it, but I’m starting to fear it has too many. :/

@theducktator

Praying! 💛

@elishavet-pidyon

Seriously???? 1000 words???!!!! Oh no!!! How many people are you going to be snowballing???!!!

@ellette-giselle

@theducktator

Heh heh heh! 😈 write away, write away!

@trailblazer

 I don’t know if you saw, but I responded to our earlier conversation over in the Chat Chat a few days ago. (So that it doesn’t clog up this chat)

Oh gosh! I’m so sorry! I was so busy the past few days. I did see your response and meant to reply…but then I forgot! Thanks for reminding me.

@theshadow

What do you mean when you say “you’re on the fence”? Sorry! I don’t understand that part!

My family has always celebrated Christmas, but we usually don’t do much. The last time I remember getting a Christmas tree was maybe 12? years ago??? We don’t give gifts to each other either…but there’s no religious reason why we…[Read more]
