O.K. after this, I am putting cotton in my ears… But the witch doctor cure sounds so ominous, and I’m the one who started it, so…
I walked across a blisteringly hot brick pavement at camp this summer… And the balls of my feet were just that. Blistered. So as I was limping around camp, one of the camp…[Read more]

Hey @evelyn, @scribbles, @brandon-miller, @jane-maree, @deaus-lamb, @anne-of-lothlorien, @skye, and @ericawordsmith
Let’s give @germaine-han a big welcome!!
Hey there! My name is Wordsmith… Or at least that’s what they call me. I’m a writer of short stories and author of one novella (far from publishable 😄). I play a little music and will s…[Read more]

@hope-ann, @anne-of-lothlorien, @northerner, @morreafirebird
I apologize for my lengthy absence. Prior to the 12th, I was going into crunch mode on my book, shortly before taking a much desired (and retrospectively much needed) vacation to spend with my girlfriend and her family. I am in fact still up there, but she’s expired her leave, so I’m…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien Your concept of spinning fabric from gems is so cool! I’d love to read about how that works.
@Andrew You sound like you’ve developed a good deal of entities for your world. A lot of those names are exciting (I especially like the idea of an inktoad). Have you thought about how they’ll work in your world? For example, what re…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien I don’t have Instagram (yet at least). I do have a blog and Pinterest. Do you have a blog?
I’ll tag some people who may have Instagram…

I totally get that, there is definitely a level of respect in there, and I do appreciate that. Mainly what I hate is when a guy’s handshake feels like a girl’s handshake. Grosses me out… If you have ever had an ALERT guy (I’m hoping you know what that is, but if not that’s O.K., just think military meets boy scouts and focuses on…[Read more]

Oh my goodness no, that is not at all what I meant. I wholeheartedly believe the same thing, that God is sovereign and that he predestines and preordains history, I completely believe that (I’m Reformed Baptist [and am oddly therefore into church history]).
What I mean by that is that our heroes that we write about show what God…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien Yes, the wolves speak human speech. Or what would be human speech if there were humans in that world. Thanks for the tips. 🙂 I think I have a pretty good idea of what to do now.

Yes! I totally agree on the dances thing.
And yes, although I think some people see it as a stiff politeness, I think that for many guys it’s just awkward. And also there might be somewhat of an influence saying that guys shouldn’t be fun and cheerful in the presence of girl, but I don’t think th…[Read more]

@wordsmith @skye @anne-of-lothlorien
First of all I really appreciate this conversation. Etiquette and chivalry are often so underrated, which makes me very sad. One of the reasons I enjoy going to English Country Dances in my area every year, is simply because of the very polite, atmosphere where chivalry and etiquette are strongly encouraged -…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien Yeah I think my computer was being stupid and not posting it… so whatever. It’s up now.
Also, your version of prom sounds far better than the public school version 😛
Also also, I like your new profile pic 🙂
For a feminine form of chivalry, I agree with you – I don’t think that there exactly is one. What I was more…[Read more]

Yes, there is still chivalry in this world. But as God’s words is ignored, so will the code of chivalry. And we see the USA is slipping (very far) away from the idea that God’s word is the universal health.
And I think part of being chivalrous is working through awkward situations, and working at making them not…[Read more]
