@emma-starr Oooh good to know. 😆

This means you have started on the harder, more risky, but more exciting and more rewarding path. Isn’t it fun? 😉

@emma-starr Wow, that’s fantastic! I bet it’s amazing. 🙂

@emma-starr How did it go? (:

@emma-starr I do poetry, too, but I’m a lot like Cassandra–I usually do novels and short stories. I do get a spark of poetic inspiration from time to time, though. 😉 Good luck with the writing this month! 😀

@emma-starr I’m not a poet by any stretch of the imagination but I think it’s awesome that you’re doing to Camp NaNo and I’d love to be buddies! 😊 Best of luck on this new adventure!! I hope it’s lots of fun. ☀️

@emma-starr hey, thanks for tagging me! I do write poetry sometimes, but I mostly do novels and short stories, so when I do something like Camp NaNo, it’s usually for that. Most of my poems are emotion vomit and processing during emotionally stressful times 😛 anyway, I don’t think I can really answer your question, but thanks for thinking of me! <3

@emma-starr

*facepalm* Me too girl. It feels pathetic sometimes when I think about it haha. xD

Ey coolio.(:

@emma-starr Wow, that is very similar! I love filling up notebooks by my bedside with images and poetry.(:

Walking is such a good thing for a person, mentally, creatively, spiritually, and haha physically of course.

It’s *double-checks* EvvieGrace! Can’t wait to befriend you over there. 😉

@emma-starr I’d have to agree with Sir Leeds word goals are hard for writing poetry. I’ve tried and it was hard! The idea behind NaNoWriMo for novel writing is getting the story down in a huge messy chunk and it works well for that, but poetry has such a large emphasis on the right amount of words. Not to many, often very few. And an emphasis on…[Read more]

Hey @emma-starr, I can’t say I’ve ever attempted a word count goal as a poet. To me, word count goals aren’t bad for prose writers so long as they’re editing too, but for poets, the closest thing to NaNoWriMo I’ve heard of is the poem-a-day challenge (where you try to write one poem every day for a month). Poetry is a different beast than prose…[Read more]

@emma-starr I’m afraid I’m gonna repeat a lot of the same answers these other peeps have said… sounds like you’re getting a lot of the same opinions, but oh well, here are mine and I’ll try to keep them short. 😛

1. “Should?” Not necessarily a required or needed thing, but I don’t think they straight up shouldn’t, and I think that it is a good…[Read more]

@emma-starr Lovely my friend. I adore the image of the galaxies stored behind eyes. <3

Great discussion, @emma-starr.

1. Do you believe Christians should read secular literature (literature produced by non-believers)? Why or why not?

Yes. As long as you read with discernment, pondering the worldviews being presented and comparing them against the Bible, there is much encouragement and beauty and excellence to be found in even…[Read more]

@emma-starr I read Dave at Night a looonng time ago, but it was one of the first realisitc/historical fiction books I ever read and truly enjoyed. So, it’s kind of special to me for that. Unfortunately, I don’t own that one, though! And I’ve never found a copy of The Wish, so that is one of the few I haven’t read!

Dave at Night isn’t like her o…[Read more]

@emma-starr Sooo, I’m late to the party…but I LOVE GCL!! She is one of my childhood favorite authors!!! <3 Ella Enchanted is classic, of course, and one of her very best works. But I’m also a pretty huge fan of The Two Princesses of Bamarre. <3 Actually, I have a whole shelf full of her books XD There are only a few of them I haven’t re…[Read more]

*sneezes on the accumulated dust particles*
Apparently I’ve gone a year without posting any more poems to be brutally roasted critiqued. The original two were fairly atrocious, so hopefully, none of y’all will be too shocked to find that these new poems aren’t much better. 🤣

I still have a ton to learn, and meter still baffles me, but I think I…[Read more]

@evelyn @wisdomofprose @h-jones @emma-starr

First off, you guys made me cry!  Wow… thank you so much for welcoming me back like this <3 Life’s been hectic and I’ve missed you all so much, but it’s been like a barrier came up between me and writing and I didn’t come here for a while.  So thank you – it’s so good to see you guys, too!! &…[Read more]
