The Social Porcupine

Lauren is back with the names of the winners from the contest I posted a couple months ago. Sorry about it taking so long to get this to you! Make sure to keep reading, to the end, because I'm about to announce a new contest and challenge of sorts, one that I hope you all will love!! Hello! Lauren is back again! If you didn’t already know a couple of weeks back I did a guest blog post about a six word contest here . Since I’m back that can only mean one thing right? The results of the contest are in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok so I know this is the very first contest done on this blog and the very first contest I’ve ever held. So as a result we got some amazing entries that were very hard to choose from. All two of them :-) :-) And both of them were absolutely amazing! They were both so creative and they really got my mind thinking about what bigger stories could go around them. And so I couldn’t pick one. As a result you are both the winners!!! As pr...

I'm doing a link up called Quote Quests from the blog Splendor Falls on Castle Walls. If you'd like to join, head over to Mel's blog!! And this is mostly my own story but I was thinking of Jonah in the Bible a little ;) Here I sit in the grey mist. It reminds me of how I was once more than a fading cold fog. The mist wraps its wet fingers around my cold body suffocating any remaining happiness I possibly had. One lonely tree spreads its drooping branches over me as if to hug my sorrows away. The leaves touch my cheeks as if saying, "I'm here." But it hides the sun's warmth. The tree does not -can not- comfort me. I look down from my mountain seat onto the city. The people go on as if nothing has happened. Yet my world has turned upside down. Once they shouted my name. Now the whisper it. Rylinn of Egan. Then, they adored me. I was praised. Now they think of me only with contempt or compassion. Both equally appalling. The King love...

A true adventure story, filled with faith and fun. 72, The Movie starring Samuel Gilmore, Crusoe Johnson, Sharar Johnson and Zadok Johnson. Buy here. My Rating : Five stars; Family friendly. Running time: Approximately 1 hour, five minutes. Back cover: What Would happen if you were to spend the next 72 hours out in the wilderness with only what you could fit into a quart-sized container and the clothes on your back? Do you think you could survive the experience? What if it were the dead of winter... What if there were no modern conveniences... Would you be tough enough to make it through? My review: It all starts out with four friends and brothers ready for adventure and a new challenge. For 72 hours they will live in the wilderness and bring nothing but what they are wearing and a quart jar. To make it even harder, they will go in the middle of winter, when few animals are to be found, and even fewer plants. It will take a lot of ima...

I finished the challenge writing every day for 100 days! My word count for that time is 17,980 words, which isn't that much, but more than I would have had. I've discovered writing 100 words a day is really easy, and plan to continue doing it forever! And my book, Silent Thoughts, is coming along very nice! Ready to start chapter 5 of the second draft.
