@selah-chelyah Oh, and whose birthday is it?  Or was that just a random exclamation? 😉

@ashira That’s the book! 😛

I offered to invite your sister onto a google document with the opening chapter of my WIP on it, but I haven’t really heard from her about that other than that she’d like to read it.  If she wants to read it I can either send it to you, or you have to give me her email address, since you have mine.  Could you ask her w…[Read more]

@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]

@selah-chelyah

By the way, nope, as far as I know I’ve never read a Civil War book, but for some reason or another, I’ve read a few Independence War books. There seems to be more of those in circulation here (maybe because that war is an important part of our heritage too? Teachers think its important to teach us about it??)

@selah-chelyah Thank you for standing up for Manfred in my absence. 😛

@rochellaine

Its funny that you say he was “feared and hated”. Among the Canadian/Australian/English airmen, he was definitely feared (probably because he was so good at killing people) but he was held in high regard and admired a lot. He was buried with full Australian…[Read more]

@selah-chelyah No I haven’t… *whispers* Is it historically accurate? 😛

@selah-chelyah Oh, I didn’t forget you were Ariel’s sister.  I was feeling sorry that we’d both had the same story idea. 😉

Well, in that case could you have Ariel send me your email address? (She has mine.)  And I’ll invite you onto a google document with the opening to the story.

@selah-chelyah I liked Mimosa a lot.  I think I may have read another of Amy Carmichael’s books, but I’m not sure.  It’s been a while since I read Mimosa.

Who, the Red Baron?  I was kind of kidding.  @seekJustice and I have talked about him before, and I knew she liked him a lot.  But, I was really, really into WWI a while ago, and read a lot of A…[Read more]

@rochellaine

YES!!! By all means! 😀 I’m a novice in all of this, so any tips, suggestion, advice or condemnation is welcome. 😉

@selah-chelyah

Thank you…it still needs lots and lots of help.

@selah-chelyah

No, I have not really read about the history of India and Nepal. Any particular historical events/people etc. to suggest for me to check out? 😛

@seekjustice

Haha. How do my areas of interest being different excuse me from making my settings historically accurate in order to become an “honourable” historical fictioner? 😛

Yes, I…[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]

@ashira

Selah Chelyah has actually thought about writing a story about the daughter of the same person.  *tries not to make it obvious* So I told her you were already writing that.  I told her very little about yours, though.

Oh my, I’m so sorry Selah Chelyah!  (I guess that’s why you knew more about my WIP than I had said here?)  Your sister sai…[Read more]

@seekjustice Wow, I cannot keep up with this conversation!  Let’s see if I can give a quick answer to your questions and catch up. 🙂

My favorite time period is American history from 1890-1970.  There are a few other periods I like too, but those are the years I like best.

Some favorite historical figures: Jonathan, son of Saul; Stonewall J…[Read more]

And… *drumrolls*… we’re going to be moving to Montana! Despite Montana’s drastic weather differences to Cambodia, I’m really excited! 😆 It’ll still be about three weeks before we move, but while we wait, I’m really enjoying being with my grandparents and I’m loving the fall weather here in AZ. Thank you guys for all your encouragement during…[Read more]

Can’t wait to meet all of you!

@seekjustice You probably know that Marie Antoinette never said “Let them eat cake.” then.

Favorite Time Period(s): Anything medieval , the 14th of October, 1066~ 1857-1858~Early 1900s…I could go on and on I lov…[Read more]

Hey Everybody…

Historical Fictioners, What an awesome word to describe us!!! I look forward to talking with you all. I personally love doing my research but it can be hard. Some time periods have a lot of preconceptions about them and…[Read more]

@sarah-inkdragon No historical fiction?  But that’s my favorite genre!! 😛

Yes, my WIP is a Biblical his-fic.  It’s set in NT times, and I’m coming at the subject from a different angle than most New Testament his-fics I’ve read.  I’m sorry I can’t give you more right now, but I’m not really announcing the premise to the general public yet. ;)…[Read more]
