I would LOVE to give your story a read! I did NaNoWriMo in 2018, but I didn’t get very far. I hadn’t thought the story through very far, so after about 15,000 words it was feeling forced LOL

and, as an ENTJ, and the only other one I’ve ever met, I also would be interested to see how we are similar. My two closest friends are INTJ and…[Read more]

Though I’ve never had PTSD, or at least what can classify medically as PTSD, I’ve lost a brother under traumatic circumstances when I was younger and been with my father and my younger sister, alone, while he was having a major heart-attack, so I can say that I know somewhat about the shock factor and the anxieties that come…[Read more]

@wordsmith Oh, I’m just meaning that you’re just on the level of acquaintance with me that most people are on here. I mean, the only people I’ve talked to extensively not on here is Mariposa, Hope, Corissa, and Kate, and I go to church with Hope and Corissa. So there’s three groups, really, the ones I only know their names, like Parker, or…[Read more]

@evelyn and @andrew Thanks for coming on and commenting anyways!

@seekjustice Wow, thank you so much! I was not expecting this! I will definitely look up those articles, thank you.

Currently planning, she does have dreams, but more abstract dreams, and I focus more on the emotions, the fears that are brought up, not specifically dreams about…[Read more]

@wordsmith Ah, okay! Thanks so much! That is really helpful!

@wordsmith Haha.. funny.. what you said about him being emotionally suppressed for so long is kinda why I chose you… let me explain, if I can.

While I was reading the Giver, Jonas was a mystery. As you said, he was emotionally suppressed for a while, and his character did not really emerge until near the end. Because his personality was so…[Read more]

@serenity @wordsmith Alright my friends. The first bit of Ridgeline goes out tomorrow! Which means I need your emails so I can send the doc to you. XD If you don’t mind, could you send your emails to zoerider 2010 @ gmail . com ?

@pursuewisdom I’ll be sending out parts throughout the month until I finish editing 🙂 The first bit goes out…[Read more]

@wordsmith YOU READ IT AND YOU CRIED?!?!?!?! How often does that happen, exactly. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Are you going to read the rest of the series? They’re all good too, though none of them hit me right in the heart the way The Giver did.

Funny thing… a lot of times in books I equate the characters with those I know in life, and imagine…[Read more]

First, I think applause is called for – thanks Grace, Hope Ann, Brandon, and Josiah for this excellent podcast episode 🙂 I loved hearing about all of your thoughts and agree with them.

I can’t really think of anything substantial and new to add to what you all said. I love your emphasis on how our faith unconsciously impacts our writing. And the…[Read more]

Ooh, this is such a cooool topic.  *stalks* (not celery stalks btw)

@wordsmith Any thoughts, wise one?

@parker

That was super helpful!! Knowing that there’s different personalities makes this a little daunting… What MBTI type are you? That would be helpful for further research. 🙂

BTW, I’m an oldest child, so I bear the brunt of family matchmaking and that literally means that I get shipped to everybody including a random stranger that walks…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien

Yes, we do things in order of importance. XD

Well… @wordsmith said he was Gimli (if I remember correctly) and my Tolkien Friend is hands down Gandalf. In our family our Gandalf is actually the most accurate… My INTP sister, whew! She is the Gandalf of the family, and she is quite the personality. XD Actually… the other…[Read more]

*gasps* IS THAT ME?! AM I FOUR EARS?!?!?!?!

@wordsmith is B. J. of course, and Hope is Hopeless… I’m not familiar enough with other people to figure the rest out.

THAT WAS AWESOME! I love the balloons… XD

Lo and behold, it’s RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARC II: LEGEND OF THE FORBIDDEN BURIAL GROUNDS PART 2!

Enjoy, everyone! 😊 For those of you who missed the first installment, go to page one of this topic. 😉

@wordsmith I will definitely be hitting you up then. lol

@wordsmith *jumps and high-fives in an epic manner*

I’m so glad to hear it works that way too!!! Before today, I thought all good writers had everything super planned and perfect before writing their first draft.
