Wow! Those all definitely sound convicting, before they were just titles, now you’ve convinced me to go read them for myself. 🙂 And books I can share with my younger sisters! Awesome! Thanks for the recommendations! 🙂

@cassandraia

I can believe that you would be strongly attached to your characters after working with them for as long as eight years! But I also understand how it’s good to move on to new stuff…have you given up on Exotic or are you just putting it on hold for a little while?

@msqueen8 @corissa

Heh-heh…so out of pure curiosity I mentioned…[Read more]

@corissa
I haven’t read those three books but they sound like what I’m looking for. 🙂 What are they about? What about them did you find convicting?

Oh that side of the Hidden Hand, I had forgotten about that. I know what you mean, I agree it’s not something to be read out loud to younger siblings. Which saddens me a bit because I’d like to find…[Read more]

@corissa

Opps! Yes, I meant The Lost Clue…*eye roll* 😉 I adore that one!!

Hmmm…my sister read The Hidden Hand twice out loud to me when I was a kid…I was probably 7 or 8 the first time and around 12 the second time and I don’t remember anything inappropriate…maybe my memory is just bad. 😛 I should read it again and see what I think of…

@r-m-archer

Uh, well, I’m not entirely sure yet, but probably self-publish…? I know that you have published some of your own work…any advice? 🙂

@chalice

THAT is a VERY GOOD thing!! Trust me…tea is amazing!! 😉 I have never tried any of those teas before…but the Vanilla Chai sounds good. I don’t like fruity teas…unless it’s cold Peach…[Read more]

@corissa

The Lamplighter was definitely the story that had the strongest impression on me, and something that I have read again and again. It wasn’t just a entertaining story like the Hidden Hand, the Lamplighter talked about what a christian looks like and how they handle painful situations. It challenges me. Honestly, I do thinks it’s better…[Read more]

@chalice

I’ve never tried those kinds before!! Now I will be on the lookout… 😄 And I always put sugar or honey in it. But I’d probably put cream in those new flavours, too, if you do it that way.

@corissa

Oh ok, I’ve never read the books. It sounds like they’re pretty good, though? And I’m pretty sure I at least started the Haunted Room, but…[Read more]

@cassandraia, That’s okay! Yeah, I think I’m going to have to rewrite the whole thing, because it’s such a rough draft. 🙂 Thank you!

@literatureforthelight, Aw, thanks!

Yeah, I’m definitely going to have to work on these things. I know setting is something I really struggle with in writing. Mostly because I tend to just skimp over it. 😛 So…[Read more]

@eden-anderson @chalice

Now the question is… what kind of tea?? Red Rose or Peppermint? 😉 (I sadly don’t like anything except for peppermint)

@kate

Snow White retelling? So awesome! I love reading fairy tale retellings–there is just something about them that I love…

When you say Lamplighter, do you mean the Lamplighter…[Read more]

Can you all take the time to read the above post? It is important for everyone, regardless of where you live. Esp those on the West coast at the moment, but for everyone…[Read more]

@corissa

Wow, I actually haven’t read any of those. I don’t have a library right now, otherwise I would look those up. 🙂 The ones I own are the Lamplighter by Maria S. Cummins which is still my favorite so far, The Hidden Hand, Ismael or in the Depths, and the sequel Self Raised. How did you first hear about the Lamplighter series? I actually…[Read more]

@msqueen8 @r-m-archer @noahlitle @corissa @germaine-han

The script is 14,760 words (including the homework exercises).

Optimally, I’d want feedback within a month, though within two months is workable.

This is a good idea, but I didn’t come up with it. I should have said that at the beginning. I actually got it from Taylor and Evelyn. 😉

@corissa

Ooh! You write newspaper articles? That’s so cool!

I like Lamplighter too…especially their audio dramas.

Those are some good goals! 👍

@daeus-lamb

Okay! Good to know that! Thanks.

You finished a…[Read more]

@eden-anderson
Thanks for posting this thread Eden! 🙂 I think it’s always a good idea to reevaluate one’s goals before the new year starts. And I want you to know that you’ve encouraged us to. Or at the very least, you’ve encouraged me with my writing projects. Thanks for that. 🙂

Most of what I have read this year has been research books about…[Read more]
