This one has not been proofread yet. I wrote it other day when I was getting frustrated about something. In the middle of my little snit, th…[Read more]

@libby   Thanks for tagging me!

@silverdragon  For me, writing poetry started out as a way to express my emotions and how my Heavenly Father was working in my life during those times. Through the years, it became to praise Him, thanks Him for all of his goodness, and commit to live my life for Him. I’ve also dabbled in poetry with themes of na…[Read more]

@libby My thoughts on the Emily books. 😛

There are some very interesting and fun things about them, but the thing I really dislike about the Emily books is the confusing romance.  I haven’t read them in years, but I recall that Emily and her friends went back and forth between so many different people and for the strangest reasons…I just…[Read more]

@scarletimmortalized  Oooo, I love the G A Henty quote! I have heard it before, but where did you manage to find it? I think that is why I love his books so much, because his characters live up to that! P.S.~ Are you writing for the guild war?!?!

@libby  Yeah, it makes sense! 🙂 I love that last quote by St. Augustine. Where do you find many of y…[Read more]

@libby

Thank you for tagging me, Libby! I meant to reply earlier but didn’t get the time!

I haven’t written a full poem, actually, in a while, but I would love to go back to doing it! I write a a stanza here and a couplet there, but I haven’t finished one in a while. I love reading poetry, though, when I get to. There’s something about poetry…[Read more]

@libby

I’m so sorry for not answering earlier! These last days have been somewhat busy.

I haven’t read Emily of New Moon yet but I’m slightly familiar with it. My closest Kindred Spirit is Anne of Green Gables. It’s a pleasure to meet you Miss Emily of New Moon! ;D  I would also say Meg/Jo, because I have bits of both. I’m so glad you’ve rea…[Read more]

Hello Everyone! I’ve been intending to answer the thread for the last two days, but couldn’t get to it!

@seekjustice

Thank you so much for starting this! What a wonderful idea! I can’t watch movies without critiquing their historical innacuracies either.

@libby

I love many of the authors you mentioned as well! 1400s Italy is such an inter…[Read more]

Keep up the good work! You have until Tuesday (tomorrow) to get those words going!

@libby

Those quotes are really cool! I’ve always loved that one by Jim Elliot.

And yes, definitely try and read War Horse. Michael Morpurgo has a lot of worthwhile books and one of my other favourites is The Elephant in the Garden. That’s a brilliant book, its written for children but I believe it can be enjoyed by…[Read more]

@libby I’m glad this has been encouraging to you – this has been encouraging to me as well! 🙂

@i-david

“And it in regards to magic, it allows me to shoot fireballs when I speak it aloud. So that’s cool.”

Dude!

No fair – no fair!!

😉

@kb-writer @libby thank y’all for tagging me!! Yay! Poetry discussion! Also, haha, thank you Libby! I like you too <3

Why I Write It: Because I like it. 😉 Also, maybe, to creatively portray what goes inside my head and heart, or to use it as a practice in similes and metaphors, as well as rhythm, rhyme, and verse.

Why Magic It Holds For Me:…[Read more]

@hgm_barnes18 @libby Glad you guys joined the conversation! Feel free to share whatever short stories of yours that you love!

@cassie-hartfinh I shall now commence the reading of your wonderful short story! *Grabs caffeine injector*

@libby  Ooo, yes, he it really neat, too! :_

Wow, that sounds like an amazing speech! It sounds like you have a lot of different writing projects going.

Mmm, it has been so long since I joined… I think you just need to go to Pinterest.com and it will ask you if you want to create an account on the main page. (Email and password for an…[Read more]

@libby  Cool! Those are some of my favorite of his works… although it is SO hard to pick favorites! :_ I have read all of his 100 books (multiple times), as well as a lot of short stories and articles he wrote. And I think it is Wulf the Saxon, BTW. :_

@libby Novels definitely take more thinking and processing, but you know what’s cool? If you write a bunch of short stories and add them together, chances are you might have written the equivalent of a full-on novel! So you know you can write that much already. All you gotta do is think of a story you want to tell. I’m currently working on a short…[Read more]

@silverdragon

What an amazing discussion topic! How fun!

I tend to think of poetry as my primary writing “thing”, even though I do love writing. I used to write it simply because it was fun, but I’ve grown to write it for deeper reasons. I write poetry because it is a way God can help me to see the beauty in life. It is often a way for me to…[Read more]

@silverdragon Good discussion questions!

I write poetry because it’s such an abstract, beautiful art with so many possibilities and I love to taste words and fashion and mix them to either flow together or make them choppy depending on the mood I want create. It’s really beautiful I think the way one can build a rhythm through words, and that…[Read more]

@eden-anderson I see.  I’m not going to argue that you shouldn’t scrap the idea if you no longer are interested in it.  If you’re ever interested in writing another Civil War his-fic, though, I’d love to talk about what would make it a good and unusual story! 🙂

No, I agree. We should not excuse any heinous acts committed by the Germans just b…[Read more]
