Ohhh I think I get the word war now. Thank you!

@ethryndal

Hi Sarah! Thank you for the warm welcome. Its cool that you travel here! I really like historical fiction and fantasy. Reading is definitely my biggest hobby! What are your favourite genres?

I HOPE NOT @ethryndal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😢

@snapper you’re back! And just in time too! The chairs have be planning another rebellion. *hands you raspberry ice cream* They’ve even started building an army… *nods* *sits on her box*

@ethryndal I agree Story Embers has not had a Gif War yet, only a few raspberry jokes, and I don’t think I have seen as many rants. The fledgling kingdom is in…[Read more]

@ethryndal – Great thoughts! Totally agree.

@kate – Yes! Love what you said about humility and following God in it. Such good reminders. Thanks 🙂

@eden-anderson

I think you might have answered your own question… 😉 You said:

 I can’t really imagine myself not coming up with stories and writing them down.

This is huge. This is a gut…[Read more]

@Eden-anderson don’t worry. We all suffer from this doubt from time to time. 😉 @Ethryndal has great thoughts. I will just encourage you that wild self-confidence is a mark of immaturity, not skill, and doubt is a sign of someone who is honest enough to acknowledge to themselves that they are fallible. Honesty is so much more important than…[Read more]

@msqueen8 @noahlitle @eden-anderson @rosemarylouise @ethryndal Sorry I’m so esoteric. 😛 It’s a new topic for me, so it’s still hard to explain. If I can find the time, I’ll try to see how I can explain it clearer.

In the meantime, I’ll try to keep our theme discussions less abstract. 😉

@Ethryndal *bows* Coming from the Sassmaster, that means a lot. XD

@eden-anderson and @ethryndal
I’m with you two! 🙂 For whatever reason I haven’t grasped it either. Maybe our learning styles are different?

@ethryndal

Awww, you are so sweet! 😁

About my name, thank you. 😀

Yes, Little Dorrit and Bleak House are pretty high up on my to-watch list. My sisters have seen them and they just RAVE over them. 😀

You could totally be an illustrator. 😀 You really have talent! (BTW, I love your sketches of Lord of the Rings characters. I saw them and just…[Read more]

@kate I’m glad that you had time to go back through it and implement all our suggestions 😀 This is also like the fifth time I’ve read through it, and I can’t keep from giggling the whole way. (That’s my subtle way of contradicting your previous disclaimer that you aren’t good at comedy…)

Congratulations everybody! 😀 😀 Even though we pulled…[Read more]

@ethryndal

Thank you so much for those words of encouragement. 😍 I needed to hear that.

I know that I have at least a little bit of desire, because I can’t really imagine myself not coming up with stories and writing them down. Even when I feel discouraged, tired, even when I just want to chuck everything in the trash and set it on fire, there…[Read more]

@r-j-karas Hey, cool! So what does the RJ stand for? Just curious.

@eden-anderson Your book(and the new character that was just added 🙂 ) sounds awesome! When you have portions written, I would love sneak peaks! *gasps* Did I seriously just ask that? I need to work on my people skills.

@ethryndal *gasps excitedly* No way! Where exactly did you move to?

@ethryndal Well, said!

Okay so question number 1#:

How do you know if you are a writer? (it sounds really simplistic, I know)

I’ve struggled with this for a LONG time. First off, there’s like one hundred and one views out there about what makes a writer. I’ve heard and read lots of conflicting views about this: some people say anybody can be a writer, others say it’s…[Read more]
