The Rabbit Room

@michaelstalcup welcome! If you’re on Facebook, we have a little group there called The Poetry Pub where we share our poetry and writing prompts with one another and where a number of us do the November Poem-A-Day challenge. It’s a private group so there’s freedom to share works in progress. There are a few others who live cross-culturally and…[Read more]

@prisca, I’ve faced a similar tension in a set of stories I’m writing. Making prayer a part of my practice when sitting down to write has helped me with some of my wrestlings. I can ask the Author Himself to guide me in how best to represent Him in the world I’m creating, free of the pressure to portray everything I see because no finite story…[Read more]

Praying for you, @adamruffo, and for your mom, too. You are not alone.

[quote quote=48254]@racheldonahue, plant photography sounds so peaceful and fun! Do you have a website or instagram? I do have a website, http://www.emandersonphotography.com. It’s a mixture of professional and personal work, especially on my blog.[/quote]

@emanderson, I’ve been absent from the forums for a while and saw your message when I l…[Read more]

Hi, @emanderson! I’m a photographer, too, and there are others of us around. I’m fascinated that you enjoy shooting film! I started with film when I was 16 and switched to a DSLR when I finished college. It was mostly a hobby until a friend pulled me into shooting for istock. 🙂 Now that I’m a stay-at-home mom of three boys and a baby girl, most…[Read more]

@mrs-hittle Well, then by all means I shall do my very best to make it read-worthy. Maybe we can hide in a closet with flashlights and have one of the theatre people read it to us. 😂

@mrs-hittle Ha! Oh dear. I’m sure that would have been far outside my comfort zone. Although, with some work, maybe next year… 😉  (Mick has already mentioned “next year” to a friend… Eeeee! I do so hope we get to come back.)

Here’s the poem I shared. Thank you all for being such a supportive, encouraging group. You’ve made me brave.

On Blueberries

My boys eat blueberries like candy.
I’d rather they eat blueberries than candy.

We buy them in large bags, freshly frozen,
and we pour them liberally,
summer’s bounty in a mid-winter bowl.

One child—
he who likes samen…[Read more]

@mrs-hittle I’ve finished the rough draft. It needs some work, but I’m happy with the shape it’s taking. 🙂 I wish I could draw well enough to illustrate it!

Many thanks, @mrs-hittle and @eliatyson! This is most helpful! I recently finished Wingfeather Tales, and The Wooing of Sophelia Stupe was delightful. I think it must have been part of what sparked the inspiration to flesh out a story idea I’ve had ruminating. I’m so happy to hear that the squeeblin originates in the Jungles of Plontst, because I…[Read more]

Random question: what’s the plural form of squeeblin? Is it “squeeblins”? And might one be found in the Jungles of Plontst? (I’m following a wild idea as a fun creative writing exercise, but I need answers.) @mrs-hittle?

@misslinda, they are home!!! God has been so gracious. Audrey left the hospital a week ago and they’re all moving back to the States Monday the 28th in time for Katie’s next injection. My mom arrived back in Nashville today. 🙂 Audrey’s blood count has continued to get better (I cannot tell you how amazing this is), and her healing is bringing…[Read more]
