Anna Marie

@annamarieoriginal That’s fine. Resubmission will not be necessary.

*gulps* you emailed us about that, didn’t you @annamarieoriginal. I thought I’d passed it on… Maybe I did or maybe it got lost. Sorry about that. @Daeus would know, though probably just letting him know can fix it. Not sure.

Wow, hi everyone! @josiah @jane-maree @faith_blum @annamarieoriginal

😊 Besides the Bible, I use Wikipedia sometimes, read a little bit of Josephus’ Antiquities Of The Jews, and mainly do research on how they lived, worked and loved back in the day. Its a task, I can tell you that!

My inspiration was just an idea that struck me during my…[Read more]

@annamarieoriginal So here’s what I was taught about semicolons: think of them as “super commas.”

They’re used to blend independent sentences when they seem too choppy separately but not distinct enough with a comma and conjunction.

They’re also used to delineate a list of lists, which is what your sentence is. So, similar to what @mariposa…[Read more]

@annamarieoriginal I would recommend using commas over em dashes and keeping the semicolons. Too many em dashes can be distracting to readers.

Besides that, it seems like there’s a little too much telling here. For instance, instead of saying how Ellen is a quiet but likeable bookworm, you could mention how she was sitting silently by a tree, r…[Read more]

@annamarieoriginal Holes is so good! I really loved it and the message it gave. The movie wasn’t too far off either.

@annamarieoriginal, @scribbles, Do y’all know anything about the Russian Baptists?

@annamarieoriginal Welcome to Story Embers! That’s cool that you live in Russia! My uncle went to Russia because of his job about 18 years ago, and when he came back to the States he was so enamored with the culture that he started learning Russian and teaching me some. Sadly, I don’t remember *any* of it except for yes and no at this point. XD…[Read more]

@annamarieoriginal Thank you! 🦖 Aberdeen strives to make his posts as tasty as possible (though occasionally he undercooks or burns his posts, but that isn’t too often 😜)

@annamarieoriginal, Alex Jefferson is such a funny narrator.

@annamarieoriginal, I love the descriptions!

@annamarieoriginal I don’t really know! I’ve read a lot of books (as have most of you I bet)! Hmm, I’d say the Bible. But that’s such a cliche answer (but of course, it’s true) so I’ll go with The Help. The poignant tales of the POC enslaved as poorly disguised slaves was a really good insight into these times, and some of the deeper themes have s…[Read more]

@annamarieoriginal I don’t have a lot planned for this summer; I hope to edit the second book in my time travel series and I’m working on launching a new blog. 🙂

@annamarieoriginal Wow! That sounds exciting!

@annamarieoriginal, I’ve heard of that program for November. I have a friend who participates in it.

@annamarieoriginal awe thanks! 😉

@annamarieoriginal Her first name is Anna and her middle name is Marie. Most people go by Anna Marie though. Do you go by Anna or Anna Marie?

@annamarieoriginal Write, read, doodle, craft, and take walks through the woods! What about you?

@annamarieoriginal wow, It’s really 18 to be able to drive? I can get a permit when I turn 15, which is really soon! I love riding lawnmowers too! (to be honest when I rode our lawnmower I felt like I was driving a car, even though I only 12 though so…)

Hey my younger sister’s name is Anna Marie too!

@annamarieoriginal I guess that my summer plans are finishing my book (fingers crossed), and hanging out with my friends! I have a bunch of hiking, fishing, and other things that I’m working on. Oh, and I’m also going to work on getting my driver’s permit too! 😉
