TheLoonyOne replied to the topic Hi… I’m back! in the forum Start HERE 8 months ago
a number of songs from For King and Country, but I don’t know if I could give a solid top five.
Ooh, I love for King and Country! I actually got to see them in concert, which was incredible, but I left with my ears ringing. I know I can’t give one, but I love Priceless, Burn the Ships, Fight on Fighter, It’s Not Over Yet, and The P…[Read more]

So here’s a question posed for everyone, and I’m curious to see what creative ideas or suggestions you may have. I’ll answer my own question in another post, too, but here it is: What are some ways to set up healthy boundaries with technology to keep it from overruling our lives, and how can we use it to our benefit? What can we do to…

What are some ways to set up healthy boundaries with technology to keep it from overruling our lives, and how can we use it to our benefit? What can we do to take advantage of this tool, literally at our fingertips, to make God known?
A common practice within my own faith is fasting. We specifically fast from food every first Sunday.…[Read more]

Thank you for the suggestion. I use the ESV app mainly and occasionally go to the LSB. The problem is that sometimes I can’t remember a word, or I have it memorized in a different version. The ESV app at least requires you to be very precise in your search, no typos allowed. Perhaps I should try something that searches multiple…[Read more]

Oh my goodness I use AI lots, but only to generate text in the style of Shakespeare on the subject on “how to make a peanut butter sandwich” – @stephie
Nice! Now that is a fun use for AI. I got to try a Shakespearian peanut butter sandwich.

I have used AI a bit myself, for some of the things I have mentioned at the beginning. However, the more I do it, the less comfortable I feel about it. I’ve noticed that the stories can get very samey over time. I do still get curious, wondering if I put a chapter of my story in it, if it will be able to predict. For feedback, ChatGPT 3.5 cannot…[Read more]

Hi everyone!
So the reason I tagged you is simple, my cat had four little kittens last night, and I need four cute kitten names! You can suggest as many as…[Read more]-
I have so many ideas:D
1. Tux
2. If you name one Snips, you need to name another one Snails
3. Domino
4. Millie
5. Fish
6. If you name two of them Snips and Snails, you could name the other two Sugar and Spice-
Oh no. You are asking the Author who came up with a whole fantasy race that is known for being terrible at naming. He then put them in charge so that he would not have to put much thought into the names of many characters and locations. They are a lion-like species known as lyens that take a word related to ‘lion’ and change the…[Read more]

Aww, that’s awesome!
Here are a few names I came up with:
Gandalf the Grey
Dusk
Strawberry
Finnigan
Marshmallow
Biscuit
Snickerdoodle

@rae
Warning, I like ridiculous and outlandish pet names.
Boy names: Alphonso, Frederick, Enrique, Sir Fluffyface, Richard, Bilbo, Frodo, Zephaniah, Heliodor, pretty much anything with Sir in front, Hubert, Wilfred, Petruchio, Mercutio, Benedict, Dietrich, Oswald the Destroyer, Garfield, Gandalf, Aragorn, Benvolio, Mercutio, Cinnabar,…[Read more] -
Hmm… you could name them all after birds (it would be ironic but kind of cute).
Other ideas are (kind of random):
Zephyr
Cinnamon
Stardust (could be Dusty for short)
Coffee
Sylph
Flick
Winter@theducktator
Wait, SALMONELLA???? As in SALMONELLA POISINING?!?!?!?!?!?-
So, I talked with my mom, and we are going to name the two grey ones Snips and Snails ( @loopylin ) and the tabby’s Candy ( @theducktator I actually wouldn’t have thought of this one for whatever reason, though it fits her so well! By the way, if we had a tuxedo kitten, I’d call it Sir Bowtie XD) and then there’s Poppy. @linus-smallprint Poppy…[Read more]

Adorable ^-^ I really live Snips and Snails!

@trailblazer, @theducktator, @theshadow, and @grcr.
Thank you for your ideas. I am seeing a recurring theme here. Use a notebook/document, and jot down the little things as they come up. Unfortunately, I am not a notetaker, but perhaps it is time I power through that and jot things down. (Which is kind of funny, because my user/pen name here…[Read more]

EEEE! *Mad screams of joy and congratulations* I’m so excited for you! Do you have a projected publishing date yet (if characters and editors and the general book people are cooperating)?
Characters…they’re all still alive, so I guess I haven’t gotten too fed up with them. XD Daíthí did recently take an arc twist on me in the middle of church, a…[Read more]
Thank you soooo much!!!! <3 Sadly, no 😭 With Amazon, it's a little complicated to get an official publishing date rn😅 Sometime this month or June tho, I'm sure. (just in time for summer reading😜)

Characters…they must always decide to die on us😭

Same to you! I always love…[Read more]
Understandable. Still, sometime before mid-summer is thrilling enough.
Ah, poor charies. I never wanted to be the author that kills them off,but I suppose I didn’t understand how much they do to themselves. *Pats nameless brother’s head affectionately*
Yes, it’s exciting either way for sure🥰💖
Yesss, the poor babies.
Y’all may or may not want to know the new story idea for Broken Shackles. No one will die, but someone is going to come close, hehe
Um, excuse me?! *Glaring* What are you plotting to do now? Who is coming within a hair’s breadth of their life? (Oooh, another plot twisty thingy. How intriguing…)
shhhhhhhhh….it was my Mom’s fabulous idea, and not only will it be emotionally amazing (maybe more emotional turmoil for Leon, but alas😂), but the way it changes the story fixed some plot holes and I just…*rubs hands togethr* I love it even more now👀😏
Hi Freedom!!💛💛
Oh my goodness, that’s great!! How exciting!!! 😆😆😆
I’m doing great. Haven’t been writing as much lately and my books are kinda on halt, so nothing new has really happened to/with my character gang. My focus is kinda on world building, drawing, and animating rn.
It’s nice to see you on again though!!

I’m happy to hear you’re doing well. I feel that; sometimes writing needs to be set aside, and that’s ok! <3 Ooh, that's fun!!!
Ty! I'm happy to be back on a bit 💜💖🥰
(aww, that's so sweet. <3 And yes, it is 💖💖)
oooh that’s your real name? It’s pretty! It’s also the name of a character in a series I like.
Awwww, you are so sweet💖💖🥰 Yes, it’s my name <3
That’s cool!!
Ahh!! So exciting!! When it comes out, I am totally requesting it at my library! 💖
My charries are doing well! Progress on my trilogy has been slow though. I thought it was writer’s block, but I discovered it was just a mix of procrastination/laziness and perfectionism. So once I got past that, it was so much easier to write! Still haven’t tou…[Read more]
Tysm!! 💜💜 Awww, that’s so sweet <3 I'd be so delighted if libraries started ordering Freedom's Fire🥰
I'm so glad the progress is going for your trilogy! And it's absolutely fine for it to be slow💜
EEEEE, i cannot WAIT to hear more about it!!! 🥰🥰
Yes, that would be so amazing!!
I can info dump about the MCs on the Chat Chat if you’re interested… 👀
Ooh, yessss, pls info dump😃
(casually butts into the conversation…sorry…hehe) YESSSS please info dump…hehe I love hearing about your charries…you always have the best character arcs and plot ideas!
Then I will gladly do so 😁
(Aww, thanks Sara! You’re so sweet!! 😊)
yw!!!! (:
You’re back! Congratulations on your books! 🩷I’m not allowed to have social media yet, but I’ll follow you someday. (That sounded creepier than I meant it to, XD). It’s so weird to think that your real name isn’t Freedom though.😂
Tysm!! 💜💜 Understandable <3 (ahh, I know what you mean😂) LOL, well, it's not haha😆 I can see how it'd be a little weird tho, lol. And yes, I'm happy to be back <3

AND I CAME UP WITH SO MANY PLOT TWISTS….BWAHAHA!
Yesss, sameeee. But I’ve also had to reread it to edit it, so😂
Yw!!💖🥰 Haha, I feel that. XXD

I COULDN’T RESIST
You’ll see….just wait until I actually get my life together to write a bit…which could be anywhere from tomorrow to six months…XD
Awesome!! I can’t wait to read your book tbh. I’ll have to get it on Amazon or something, will you have it there?
Tysm!!! Yes, it will be on Amazon!
Very cool!!
Freedom, hi!! 👋
That is cool about your books! So so exciting!
I’ve been doing really well lately. I’ve gotten past a lot of stuff that was stressing me out, which tends to sap my energy, so yeah, I’ve been doing well! I kinda put writing on break with all the stuff I had going on, but I’m hoping to get back into it soon 🙂
Hiiiiiiiiiiiii 💖💖
Ty!! Yesssss, I cannot wait!!!!
I’m so happy to hear you’re doing well <3
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Congratulations! I’m doing well, and I’ve been largely inactive here, too lol. Mostly because I’ve been focusing a lot more on art as opposed to writing, and have received several commissions from friends, so yay for that!
Tysm!!
Ooh, that sounds like so much fun!!! Happy for you!!💖💖
