YES!!!! That's sooooo the answer I wanted.

Hi Jan, I notice how much the entries vary so much in this week's genre. Out of interest, is a travelogue piece that is Christian bent more pleasing to the judges? There were some amazing submissions that were based on ministry trips with a strong message. Will these take the cake over a travelogue ...

Hi Jan What is the acceptable way to reference scripture in a piece of fiction? It seems customary to show this in brackets right next to the Word, but in a publishable novel, is there a way around this? I want my character to use scripture as dialogue in many places. Is it possible to use subtle ma...

Hi Jan, I wasnt sure where to ask this question, so I apologise for going off track: in the action story im contemplating, I'd ideally like to reveal inner dialogue of several characters and wondered if this can be successfully done, eg: Chris realised someone was following, and from the corner of h...

Hi Jan, I'm really keen on this genre and itching to get words to paper.what a way to glorify God in describing His incredible creation. I'm wondering how much practical info to put in. Should there be an aspect of a Lonely Planet guidebook in explaining briefly the distances to the location, if 4wd...

Hi Jan, I've been doing research on base meter with adherence to this being perfect rhyme (acatalectic) and mixed meter which allows for a certain freedom with adding or removing unstressed syllables (as meter is essentially based on stressed syllables). My question is whether variance allows for tw...

Thanks Deb The rating sheet has definitely been helpful, and the forums specifically on the challenge. I cannot express how thrilled I am to discover this website. I've only been on it a short while and already see vast improvements in my work because of Jan's great teaching, the constructive critiq...

Hi Shann,Yes, that was what the link that went nowhere must have been about. What a great resource that would have been!

Thanks Jan for sending the form to my email

Hi Deb, I noticed that at viewing the challenge winners it gives the opportunity to get a rating sheet, which I'm thinking is related to a piece any writer has submitted. When I clicked on this, it said something like it wasn't available. Is this an option still? I'm on gold, so perhaps this is for ...

Hi everyone Thanks for the humor lesson, Jan. It has given me some good options to work with in exploring the different types. I love drama, so am keen to create some strong characters who are funny in themselves, and then give them some situational comedy and word play to work with. My main comedy ...

Yay! Thanks Jan.

Hi Jan I'm new to Faithwriters and introduced myself to you a few days ago. I've since been reading through these helpful teaching lessons and have applied the tips and suggestions to a free verse poem (previously titled "Helpless not Hopeless" which you looked at for me.) I include it bel...

Thanks Deb, I'll do exactly that. Have a great day

Hi Deb, thanks for saying hello, nice to meet a sydneyite :D I'm really pleased to have stumbled onto this website. God has obviously led me here having either read my mind or having planted my desire for a writing Forum Himself! The length of time you've been involved speaks good things about this ...
