    Prayer Request Prayers pls for my cat named Annabelle

    I would be wary of giving cats too much in the way of dog food. Cats have different digestive systems than dogs and different needs. Do you trust your veterinarian? Ask him/her what is safe for your cat.

    Fear of accidental plagiarism?

    It's my understanding that there is no copyright on ideas. How many stories are actually based on something else, like the fairy tales? Cinderella? I don't know what actually constitutes plagiarism, but I don't think a few words here or there in a full-length novel would be a problem. Some...

    As someone who feeds thirteen cats, I can sympathize with you. We still have three older cats, ages between 15 and 19. Prayers arising for you and Annabelle.

    Be careful of new book platform

    No, I haven't tried Brave, but I have been happy with Firefox.

    Be careful of new book platform

    No, it was a "Don't leave yet" screen. At Firefox's suggestion, I refreshed it instead of deleting the browser, and that seems to have solved the problem. Whew! I didn't want to switch to one of the big name browsers.

    Be careful of new book platform

    I can't read the article. Popups keep coming up and covering it. Is that something on my computer? It must be because when I used a different browser, it didn't happen. So I will have to figure out what happened to Firefox.

    The Sunday after Christmas

    I did write some poetry back when I was taking a writing class at the local junior college, but I don't remember if this was one of them.

    The Sunday after Christmas

    Running through my Bible stories, I found a poem based on "The Night Before Christmas." I'm not a poet, although I have written a few several years ago. I'm wondering if this was written by someone here. It starts 'Twas the Sunday after Christmas and all through the church In the pews people...

    Is it time to ditch Amazon?

    Thanks for this thread. I'm getting closer to publishing at least one of my Bible story books. I intended to go the Amazon route, as that seems to be (or seemed to be) what people do. I'm definitely rethinking that, for all the above reasons.

    How Do You Feel About Including Angels in Your Writing?

    Since I write fictionalized Bible stories, I tend to take any words spoken by angels or by Jesus from the scripture itself. Actions are sometimes described in the scripture, but other times I include something that seems appropriate from the text. Show rather than tell also applies to the humans...

    Manuscripting and Editing Schedule

    So your current project is an anthology of short stories? If so, you have however many short stories you have written. That's a good way to start because you have already dealt with the bigger picture, even if on a smaller scale.
