@seekjustice That’s a really good observation that WWII is forefront in the minds of people today.  It makes sense.
Wow, your story sounds intriguing!  It’s so unique and different from other stories.  I’d love to read it someday!
Thank you!  Sadly, I have yet to complete a novel.  I have started many…but they fall asleep after a while.  Hopin…[Read more]

@kb-writer Oh.  My.  Goodness.  Your poem is absolutely beautiful.  Thank you for sharing it with us. <3  As I read it, I kept thinking, this has got to be my sister.  And then you said it and I was just so… blown away, I guess. 🙂

@evelyn That’s right!  You’re sisters are the best–considering that I’m one of them.  In a way. 😉

I loved yo…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’ll have to read that book by…Michael Morpurgo?  I very much agree with you, but to be honest, I don’t have a great grasp on that time period.

@selah-chelyah @seekjustice @eden-anderson Thank you for the explanation ;).

Favorite historical periods: Civil War, French Revolution, Ancient Egypt, Italy during the Renaissance.

As for books and authors, I love Elizabeth Gaskell, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Mildred Taylor, LM Montgomery, JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, Louisa May Alcott, Maud Hart…[Read more]

Awesome you guys!  I can’t wait to get started!

@seekjustice @rochellaine @selah-chelyah @ whoever else is on this thread

Okay you guys, sorry I’m late here and haven’t read all the comments, so I only know half of what I’m supposed to be doing right now, but for one thing, I am excited to be on this thread!  For another thing, what questions am I supposed to answer and what exactly are we…[Read more]

@eden-anderson I love reading poetry!  I’m glad to find someone else who does, too!  And yes, I am the same Libby. 😉 Do you have any other hobbies?–other than writing?

@wisdomofprose So very happy to meet you!  Yes, I do have a literary kindred spirit!  Emily of New Moon, for one.  I would like to say Anne of Green Gables, but I’m not sure…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Yes!  This is my first year on Nano, too!  Here’s my link!

@faith_blum Hope you don’t mind, but I buddied you!

@seekjustice I guess we really do have a lot in common! 😉 I think that it’s really neat you’re writing in WWI time period.  It’s really interesting reading about WWII, and I won’t deny that I’ve read a ton on it, but I feel like WWI gets neglected a bit.  Would you mind telling what you’re story is about?
So, I do write historical fiction!  It…[Read more]

@wisdomofprose I’m so happy that you’re here!  It’s wonderful meeting you!

As Eden said, I was reading your post and just thought how much I can relate =) I love books, tea, poetry, lyrical prose, and history.  Also, I love that you used the word “scintillating”.  It’s one of my favorite words. 😉

Do you have any favorite books or music?  What…[Read more]

I landed in the advanced category.  I would agree with that I need to put into practice my theoretical knowledge.  Another area which I struggle with is implementing themes.

@gabriellepollack Thank you so much for everything!  Hope life is beautiful for you as you move on!  We will miss you <3

I want to share one of my favorite verses with you.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you.  Not as the world gives, give I unto you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”     John 14:27…[Read more]

Hey guys, everything seems to be going okay, but the vibrations now affect my hands.  If I bend my neck, my torso vibrates and it travels down my arms to my hands and they start to tingle.  The doctor said it might be something with my neck – and that might have been caused by my head injury in July.  Would lov…[Read more]

Jesse to Kiera and Lucky: Hullo?  What’s this?  A fight?  Calm down, now, and don’t get ruffled up. *tips hat to them* I’m Jesse. *holds out a hand* What’s the matter?  Why all the tight feelings?

@faith_blum Wow, I’m late to the welcome party!  Sorry about that. 😉  Welcome!  I’m so happy you’ve decided to become our guildmaster!  I think I can speak for all of us when I say we’re delighted to have you.
I am a tea-drinker, card-maker, pianist, amateur poet, reader, sister, and a laugher.  I love dogs, Jaguars, and Elephants, as well as Vio…[Read more]

@kb-writer That’s such a sweet poem!  It made me smile 🙂  I like it that way, too.
The snake line…ah, that always got on my nerves after I turned thirteen and realized it wasn’t sentimental. 😉 I’m glad I didn’t get rid of it, though.  Shows a bit of my personality. XD

@evelyn thank you!  So happy you liked it!

This was a poem I wrote for…[Read more]
