I’ll be praying for y’all. I hope everything goes smoothly. 🙂

LOL. Good catch. ;D

It’s actually The Fellowship of the Ring. 😉 I recognize the chapter title.

@jennythefaun

DUDE, YOU HAD ME AT “CENTRAL-ASIAN INSPIRED FANTASY” AND THEN IT GOT BETTER. :O :O :O I would 100% LOVE to look over it when it’s done.

And I’d definitely appreciate the feedback on my story. I think I’ll look it over once on my own and then I’ll copy it to a Google Doc and share it. 🙂

I mean… I wouldn’t say I…[Read more]

@myclipboardismyviolin

*nods* I might be able to help with that some. Um… as far as my blog is concerned, Pinterest drives a lot of my traffic. As soon as I started designing Pinterest-friendly graphics (and mine aren’t even the most Pinterest-friendly out there, seeing as Pinterest likes vertical pins and mine are square) my traffic…[Read more]

@jennythefaun

I didn’t. I was going to, but I started writing a story that I started solely for the contest and I tried to write it around a theme and it just… didn’t work. So I bailed. Theme isn’t really my strong suit in most cases; it’s only recently that I’ve started learning to pinpoint the existing themes in my novels. Since most of my…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb

Ah, cool. I was going to say that shouldn’t advertise The Golden Ziggurat to all fantasy readers, but more to people who enjoy Aztec culture and similar, because I’m an avid fantasy reader and I wasn’t a fan of The Golden Ziggurat. (Though if it’s been edited further I might like it better now; we’ll see. Part of what threw me off was…[Read more]

*laughs at being called an “expert,” even in quotes* Dude, I’m 100% making this up as I go. Or at least 99.99%. I have done some marketing research, and my granddad does marketing stuff professionally and recently went back to college for business and I’ve talked with him some, but mostly it’s trial-and-error. That said, I think I’m decently good…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb

By the fantasy story you mean The Golden Ziggurat? (Just to clarify, ’cause if so I have some feedback. :P)

@ericawordsmith

Ooh! Screen Door! I’d managed to forget that one, but YES! I love that one, too!

@myclipboardismyviolin

*nods* I actually prefer the “unfinished” tracks that Rich Mullins sang himself to the “polished” versions that other artists did. They just felt like they needed to be his songs, if that makes sense? I liked most of the…[Read more]

@ericawordsmith @myclipboardismyviolin

WAIT A MINUTE Y’ALL HAVE HEARD OF RICH MULLINS???? 😀 😀 😀 I grew up on his music! “My Deliverer” is awesome. I also love “What Trouble Are Giants,” “Where You Are,” “Maker of Noses,” “Elijah”… basically everything he’s written. But “My Deliverer” and “What Trouble Are Giants” are probably my top two. My…[Read more]

@pursuewisdom Audiomachine is another one I listen to. I’ve heard (and enjoyed) a handful of Eurielle’s songs, but I haven’t had a chance to go through it all yet on Spotify. (When I discover a new artist I try to go through all of their music and save the songs I like so I can find them again without weeding through the songs I decided I didn’t…[Read more]

@lin

Personally, since the music doesn’t contain any questionable content I don’t have a problem listening to it. I do usually abbreviate the name to TSfH (or 2SfH) when I’m fairly confident that others will know what I’m talking about, because I’m also somewhat uncomfortable with it, but personally it doesn’t bother me enough that I don’t listen…[Read more]

I still haven’t decided whether or not I’m going to enter. Short stories and I have a complicated relationship at this point. 😛 Although, looking at my list of short story ideas I’m realizing I do have one short story that I finished the first draft of and didn’t do anything with and I might be able to polish up and make work. (Contests like this…[Read more]

*rubs hands together* I’m also ALWAYS listening to music, so this question is my jam. (Hey look, I can make puns. Who knew.)

As of a year or two ago, I could only write to music without lyrics, because if a song had lyrics either I wouldn’t know the song well enough so I’d be analyzing the lyrics or I’d know the song too well and I’d be singing…[Read more]

Ooh, those are cool ideas.

@ericawordsmith

That sounds really cool! Oh dear… I know that feeling. XD We had a couple of guys in our choir two years ago and during our practices for Celtic Woman (which were super relaxed and fun) they had us laughing hysterically regularly and it was GREAT. XD But it’s definitely hard to sing when you’re laughing or trying not to laugh.…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien

I get all of that, to one degree or another. There’s a quote you and @bama-rose made me think of:

“If you think you’ve blown God’s plan for your life, rest in this: You, my beautiful friend, are not that powerful.” – Lisa Bever

But still, we don’t want to use His sovereignty as an excuse to just blow things off and do…[Read more]

Rice is another thing that’s really good for this.

Yes! I’ve been in choir for nearing eleven years at this point, so I’ve had a large share of performances, and I thoroughly enjoy them. Hearing all the voices blend into one is super cool. That sounds awesome! I hope you have a fabulous time! What is Family Conference?

I think there is one that I like a tiny bit better than all the rest, but…[Read more]
