FaithWriters.com-Christian Writers Forum

I know that my yellow boxes as been perceived as too harsh at times, and there have been many times that I've backed away from leaving them, not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings. It's difficult to leave constructive critique on an anonymous entry, not knowing if the writer's mistakes are a chronic...

Does someone send a "Welcome to FaithWriters" e-mail? I wonder if they could include "directions" to this class. Hmmmmmmm..... I try to be diligent when it comes to welcoming the newbies. I usually try to add a few paragraphs, telling what the site offers, invite them to hang ou...

You started this thread the week I was in the hospital so I didn't really have a chance until today, but in reference to this: TODAY’S QUICK TAKE: Shoulda, woulda, coulda What about "kind of" I use that frequently and my gut tells me it's not correct, but like you said we write like we tal...

This is definitely the coolest place I've ever been to.

My grandmother used to play the card game Solitary. I misused it for years until I was old enough to understand my mom's explanation that it was Solitaire and it wouldn't be right to correct Grandma. The vegetable rutabaga was always pronounced rootabaggie. It didn't stop me from eating them but I'm...

This really is an amazing place. I can't believe how quickly I felt like a member of the family when I joined. I'm so happy that you have felt the love as well.

Congratulations Everyone!.


You guys are all great! A special shout-out to my young friend Nicole for getting 1st place the first time out. You have talent Girl!

See what you didn't understand, the weeks you didn't enter, I'd go into the archives to get a taste of PUP, so see you can be one of my favorites every week, even if you didn't enter! OK OK, but what ever you do, don't place a comment on "The Trumpet Sounds" I am going for a record on tha...

Thank you again. My self-esteem has taken a beating lately, and I was afraid people might think I was prideful for commenting on the pieces. but I truly received so much more than the little I gave. It's wonderful to share other's thoughts and ideas. I feel I have been blessed by all of you.

Well that can't be right. I haven't written but 3 in the past 6 months. :lol: psst pup: She's only been here that long. Oh... well in that case. :wink: See what you didn't understand, the weeks you didn't enter, I'd go into the archives to get a taste of PUP, so see you can be one of my favorites e...

And thank you Shann for your dedication. Honestly, I don't see how the judges can do it. I tried once, when I first started up, to read through them all. I saw so many "GOOD" writers, it made me feel bad that mine was even listed among them. Now, even reading just the ones listed in the H...

I've been wanting to read and comment on every entry since I found this wonderful place. I did it this week and the entries were great and made fun reading. Congratulations to all of the winners as well to everyone else who submitted an entry. I appreciate the blood, sweat and tears that go into the...

Dear Jan, I just wanted to thank you for your timely lesson. I had been playing around with humph and had a few typical ideas in mind. Last night I rethought and am now going in an almost totally different direction. My big fear is that my OOTB humph idea won't be OOTB because you so greatly inspire...

The first storm of the season, as the thunder and lightening sounded scary and looked like fire streaking to earth, which is really aliens in an UFO coming to see how many little girls are hiding under the bed afraid of lightening. What do you think did I get too weird? Maybe a little bit. Written ...

Here's my OOTB idea: The fire truck comes to school for an assembly. One of the kinders climbs aboard and hides. The firefighters leave with the child on board the truck. Told from the child's POV. Excellent! Or (purely personal preference on my part) written from the fire fighter's POV. Or...from ...
