Okay. So far all the people I have asked about the tags box has said that they have no idea what it is for, so I am lost as far as that still. I am wondering why your answer doesn’t show up on the forum but it shows up instead in activity and what is activity? Thank you for explaining what BTW stands for!

That is really helpful.

Thank you for helping me!

Okay, thanks! I don’t use a lot of abbreviations, I normally just use the real words which is why I had to ask, plus abbreviations are a bit confusing for me.

To figure what out?

I really like your name, it’s one of my favorites! That’s neat that we are both 14.

I rode my first horse, I am guessing around five years ago and haven’t since then. We where given free riding lessons from one of our neighbors who owned two horses. That was when we lived in Illinois.

I am hoping to eventually be able to learn to…[Read more]

I wasn’t tagged.

So the “whats new” is exactly for what? I don’t quite understand that.

Thank you. What does BTW stand for?

I think I know why, your reply isn’t in the thread I think the tags box shows up in the thread not here. Your reply showed up in activity, what ever that is for. if you go to the bottom of a thread there is a reply box and then underneath that is the Tags: box. Thanks so much you are helping me figure things out a lot. I am also…[Read more]

It is really difficult to piece them all together. I only have four writing prompts pieced together and I still have a bunch more to piece together. I just realized exactly how hard it will be.

If we move it is usually to a new town, or into a different state. I have lived in Minnesota, Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois and Michigan. But we…[Read more]

Thanks. I think I wrote it because I wanted to try writing a poem and he had told me in a letter what his favorite color was.

Cool! I have a couple of sisters at least that write songs. I think that that is a really good goal. I am hoping that I can soon start trying to write longer stories, I have ideas for some but the longer the story…[Read more]

It’s okay.

No it’s not but I am wondering what that is and what is a forum signature? By tags I meant, when typing out this reply there is a small box below this that says “Tags:” and I am trying to figure out what that is for.

I think I have most of the site figured out. I have a few questions as far as what some of the groups…[Read more]

I think it is one of those words that are the most common.

I actually shared three of my poems in the group poets. They have to do with a storm, spring and a sunrise.

Cool, I usually write poems when I feel like writing, but I don’t have a story idea and I don’t have a story I am working on, or if I feel like writing but don’t know what…[Read more]

Cool!

We have had a lot of cats before and somethings they tend to do are quite funny, lets see, my Dad had a cat that would purposely go after me and my other sisters just to here us scream or to trap us so that we had to call for help. Mr Rogers (the cat that goes after the dogs) will also attack us, anything that moves…[Read more]

Thank you! That does help a lot.

I was reading through the writers journey path and I was wondering when it says stuff as far as a blog does the blog have to be about writing or can it be about anything?

I have written several poems and I wanted to know how good they are and what I can do to make them better. I mostly write free verse poetry but I have tried using words that rhyme, but they don’t sound as good as the free verse. They probably don’t sound as good because they were like the first few I ever wrote and I didn’t know the rules of…[Read more]

That’s another one I use a lot, but more so in my stories then poems. I don’t think I have ever used that word in a poem. Actually I did use it in one of my poems.

Thank you for the name suggestions!

The story’s and poems I write I have a tendency to use words like “the,” “and,” “a,” and “said” plus sometimes “really,” a lot.  I realized yesterday that this will probably make it so that in my stories and poems I have to find a word to use instead or word it differently.

I was not sure where to put this so I decided I would put it here.

I am wanting to start trying to write poems and short story’s but make it harder by not being able to use one word. I have already written a poem without the word the (I wrote the poem without realizing that I hadn’t used the word the until after it was written) and I have…[Read more]

I hadn’t even heard of these books until my younger sister requested them from the library. I was to busy requesting cookbooks and books on dogs.

My mom’s dog, Lily is fine. She had scabs on her neck for like two weeks afterwards and her neck was sore for a few days. The cats didn’t get hurt either we instead have a cat…[Read more]

I decided I would see if I had it figured out or not.

Thanks for the help.

I didn’t know that as far as writing fantasy first and then poetry. I find that writing poetry is easier then writing a story. I think if I had started with fantasy first I probably would not of wanted to continue to write! I have more problems with writing story’s because I don’t get what it means to show don’t tell and know one seems…[Read more]

I finished writing the first draft of a short story and it was suggested to me that before I edit or revise it I put it away for a while so I will be able to see what I need to change and what needs editing easier. So I am wondering how long should I put it away for? One of my older sisters suggested until I forget about it but I never forget…[Read more]

I am thinking after I finish writing a short story I will share it on here to get opinions on it.

Okay, thanks! I am wondering what is the blue thing that you put at the top of your posts and what is the box below this one that has the word Tags above it?…[Read more]

My poetry is mostly ones that have to do with nature. I have one on what my Grandpa’s favorite colors where, red, white, and blue and then I have some that have to do with water or storms and a few that have things to do with sunsets/sunrises. I also have one (it doesn’t quite sound right) that has to do with different things in…[Read more]

I am working on writing a short story and am not sure what names I should use for two of the characters. I can’t give a lot about the story because then for some reason I won’t feel like writing the story anymore.

The first character I need to figure out a name for is a wolf. He starts out sounding like a Villain but then at the end it turns…[Read more]

I have read “Half Magic” along with the other six books in the series. They are really good! What was your favorite part in the book? I am not sure what my favorite part is, I like a lot of parts in it. Out of all the books in this series “Half Magic” is my fourth favorite book. My first favorite is “Seven-Day Magic,” the other two books that…[Read more]

Thanks! This is actually the first website that I have ever been lost on! Every other website I can figure out the first day, this one is taking me two days and I still am trying to figure everything out!

I am wondering what is the box below this that say’s Tags?

I mostly write poems on nature those are the ones that turn out the…[Read more]

Hi Lona,

Thank you! It’s the only way I have ever seen my name spelled I didn’t even know it could be spelled other ways.

I guess we are oppisites. I am better at poetry then fantasy, in fact I have never finished writing a fantasy story or even gotten very far in one but I have finished several poems before.

I am waiting to choose a name…[Read more]

I am 14, love animals, especially horses. I enjoy reading, using watercolor pencils, writing poetry and fantasy, playing the piano (well more like the keyboard until we get a piano), and eventually I will be learning how to play the violin. I also like sewing and baking.

I am going to be getting a Golden Retriever puppy at the end of…[Read more]

I joined the seven day course so how long am I able to access the videos for and is it exactly 24 hours before I am able to watch the second video? Thank you for any answers ahead of time.
