  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hi, could anyone give me any advice on writing a biography? It's something Ive thought about at the back of my mind for a few years now, I feel that my experiences in life (I'm 30 but have had enough to suffice a lifetime already) would make an interesting read, but I don't know where to begin.

Thanks in advance x

Hi stealingheaven,
I think that's really awesome that you want to write a biography. I'm an English major looking to go into the writing field so I might be able to give you some tips :). The first action you need to take is making an outline or timeline of your life--"where exactly do I want to start?" would be the question to ask youself (ex./childhood, teens, pivotal event in your life, etc.). In concordance with this, you need to set the events in your life in an order that creates the effect you're looking for (chronologically, reflecting to the past,etc.). Then once you're done with a little brainstorming start drafting. Books do take some time to write, but if God's calling you to do it He will give you all the wisdom you need to start :amen:. If you want anymore advice, encouragement, and/or prayer you can message me :D .

Good luck and God Bless :)

hi stealingheaven! :wave: just a thought, but have you kept a journal or blog or something like that over the years? cause that could be really helpful in writing a book. also reading over old letters and stuff, anything that could let you see exactly what happened at what time, and how you felt about it. well, hope that helps,

Bethany:)
