If you want help, just holler!

Will this be revived? I think it's a great idea.

Although most of you know... but for the newbies, I'm often called Vonnie on this site.
I wear it with love and honor!

I had lived in Maine for over 40 years and been published before I heard of this writing group -Maine Fellowship of Christian Writers. http://www.mfcw.me/ We meet the 2nd Saturday of every other month, from 1-4 pm. Different members share an aspect of their writing knowledge, then we have a time of ...

Thanks!

I had learned the "no comma after a conjunction rule," but I had never heard of FANBOYS until last week at the FW Gathering. It's a good way to remember that.

So in these two sentences - In time you will learn to use commas correctly. (No comma is necessary after ‘time.’) Because of Jesus we are all free. (No comma is necessary after ‘Jesus.’) Is it incorrect to put a comma after "time" and "Jesus," or just optional? Why would you put one after "furthermo...

Cathy, I had to smile, because I've stopped reading a book when the author had a cardinal peck at a tree. I think, if you want to add a specific detail (Atlanta or cardinal) you better be familiar with it. If not, then learn about it. I cut a whole scene out of my historical novel because I wanted t...

Thanks for the comments, Holly. It's a good habit to research all kinds of things. Sloths and bedbugs? I haven't had the opportunity to research them. Those books by Ellis Peters sound interesting.

Thank you for your replies. Joanne, I've never read any books by Roseanna White, but I like authors that take the time to make their writing authentic. My favorite Biblical story writer is Ellen Gunderson Traylor. You can tell she has spent a lot of time studying the culture and history of Biblical ...

A huge 'thank you' to Yvonne Blake for writing a second lesson for me during this crazy two months when I was so very busy (we had a kitchen remodeled and went to Florida to help our daughter move, and I was working two part-time jobs). I'm very grateful to her for stepping up, and I think you'll f...

This is great Vonnie! That's also one of my favorite genres. My youngest was reading Junie B Jones books in kindergarten (She's 23 now!) She loved the series because it was a "chapter book" but one we could read together, often taking turns with her reading one side and I read the other. The Magic ...

Since I really need to direct my creativity in to my challenge entry for the week, I guess I'll stick with option one. I'm not sure if it is actually an easy reader or a picture book, but one of my kids' favorites was Robert Lopshire's Put Me in the Zoo. Yes, Holly, Put me in the Zoo is an excellen...

I enjoyed this lesson, and I was especially interested in your website. I think I'll pass it on to someone I know who home schools. You offer a valuable service. :) Thank you, Laurie. I have found that Polliwog Pages is especially helpful to homeschoolers. They don't usually have a place to display...

Many thanks to Yvonne Blake, known to some of us as Vonnie, for stepping in with another guest lesson for me while I continue with my unusually busy two months. Like Joanne Sher’s lesson of a few weeks ago, this one covers an area that I know almost nothing about. I hope you’ll post comments and que...

Thank you, Deb.

Contacting Amazon or Createspace might be a good idea. After all, it could be hurting them too,
at least hurting their reputation of protecting their clientele.
