Ah, I see.  That’s amazing.  So would you say that it’s kinda like having a photographic memory? I haven’t seen Chosen yet (is it the series about the life of Jesus?)

I agree with you there 🙂

@arindown  @rusted-knight  @melodyjoy  @a_nna  @writergirl101  (and anyone else who wants to answer

One more question (at least for now)

Why do you write fantasy?  What first drew you to this genre or inspired you  write it?

Cool.  It’s the opposite for me.  I used to write third person, but found that some of my stories needed first person viewpoint instead.

As for Little Lord F…[Read more]

Yeah sure… we’ll go with that 😉

Okay actually, I wasn’t striving for one; but I do love puns so it must have been my sub-conscience at work.

I forgot to ask you what the premise for Little Lord Fauntleroy was (I haven’t read it yet)

As for my favorite movie… I can’t decide.  I think the scene where Anne is clinging to the bridge’s post is my favorite.  Then Gilbert comes blithely along, rowing his little boat XD (I have only seen the movies and haven’t read the books *…[Read more]

No problem!  And Megan Follows is the best!  (Also, no one does Rachel Lynn like Patricia Hamilton!)

I wish you best of luck with Wonder and all your WIPs.  So, do you like writing in third person better?

That’s so funny!  I haven’t really tried that with my characters (though, I have thought about changing the plot, not the setting.)

Anyway, my younger sister loves Anne of Green Gables.  Have you seen s…[Read more]

I hear ya girl!  I probably have waaay too many notebooks than is healthy for me 😉

So sorry you lost one of your notebooks!!  Maybe it will turn up again?  And that is cool that your dreams sparked ideas for stories (I jotted down a couple from my own dreams, but…[Read more]

Well, according to my mom, I was making up stories with my dolls and stuffed animals when I was like 2-3 yr. old?  So I really don’t remember any of that XD  But I do remember writing a story about a horse named Thunder.  Probably was between 5-7 yr.…[Read more]

@a_nna

Thanks so much for asking the question on why we write, Anna.  I really enjoyed hearing everyone’s stories.  It was very encouraging. (btw, my name is Lily)

@writergirl101

I loved your personal testimony!  Thanks so much for sharing it!  The best ones are the ones that come straight from the heart.

Haha!  I was so proud of my first story too (and I did include some illustrations that make me cringe; I wasn’t the best artist then, and probably still so XD.)  Funny story, I also remembered writing a s…[Read more]

Amen, amen, and AMEN, sister!!

Sometimes I lose sight of the end goal too.  But keep praying and reading His Word to guide you! (It’s something that I’m working on this summer 🙂

@a_nna

Hi Anna.

I write, because I literally can’t stop the stories that run through my head.  I’ve always carried them with me; they are a part of me, like breathing.  When I learned to write, I started jotting them down in little pamphlets my mom would staple together (though, as a six/seven year old, I ended up making more pictures than w…[Read more]

@crazywriter

Heads up!  I just ran into a couple people from the Wingfeather Forum (in the Introduce Yourself group) and sent them in this direction!

@crazywriter

Oh, I see.  Well, I hope you enjoy using this forum (I’m kinda new here too.  But it’s been a lot of fun meeting people and reading different discussions.)
