General Happenings

Posted in Posted by Rudyard Kipling

Okay, I have some announcements and I need some opinions...hey, where did everyone run off to?!

First off, most of you noticed the post a few back about the blog button for the Inklings? I think it's a loverly idea and high time we needed one. I can get Janey's opinion and if she thinks it's ok, should we put it on the sidebar?

Notice on the sidebar: firstly you will notice a little banner protecting our work. Copyscape.com detects if anyone has copied from our site but it's mostly for standard procedure protection. I have a question also about the sidebar; since this is a writing blog and people can see the profile anyway, should we take the friend's list off? It look rather out of place and messy there, and we have the friend's list on the profile, anyway, so...

Also, if you are new and you haven't written us an intro post, please do so as soon as you can so we can keep up with everyone!

If you feel called to leave Inklings for some reason, we will not try and stop you; but if you think that your writing is not appreciated or we don't like you anymore, this is foolish and untrue. We all appreciate each other's works and I, personally, have been very blessed by all the writing posted here!

A note on comments, please do leave a constructive comment if you've read something on here, that's why we have the comment-posting feature in the first place. And if you have not posted in a while, please post soon! And we'd also like to avoid posts several times in a row by the same person, if that's at all possible.

I hope to post updates concerning the general happenings here every once and a while, if you have something to share, tell us.

BTW, is anyone doing NaNoWriMo?

One last thing: what are we to do with our other two blogs? Should we save the templates somewhere, then delete them and keep our two remaining blog-positions open for new ideas? Or should we try to revive them? It didn't quite make sense, to me at least, to have a separate fairy tale blog if we could simply post those types of things here, and much as the Bible study blog was a good idea, it flopped, let's be honest. Something we may consider is hosting a Bible study in the chat room every week or something, like every Friday night or a time when it's good for the majority of us. Whaddya think?

Oh, and there might be a writer's discussion being posted by Homer every Saturday or something, that idea is still in the making. What do you all think of that?

May God bless you, and may His hand guide your pens!

Okay, I'll try to answer as many questions as possible on this post.
1) Sorry I haven't posted in a peanutbutter-jillion years, I have had lack of inspiration and motivation, but I have very recently(and by recently I mean yesterday) started my story, and will post as soon as I can.
2) I will probably do NaNoWriMo, but I'm not sure, I'd have to do some planning ahead if I did, unlike I did last year.
3) I don't really understand what the Fairy Tale blog is for, but I like the idea of a bible study, and I like the idea of doing it on the chat box. And I could be on on most Friday nights, but it really depends on how late you were thinking, my bed time on Friday is 10:30.
4) What kind of writers disscusion?

Blessings,
Snicket
