• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

w00t! 45 minutes into NaNo and I already have nearly 600 words. I am going to be posting my stuff, but I'm probably going to make it Friends Only on LiveJournal... so get an LJ and friend me, dengit! Or I'll just PM you stuff, too, hehehe. Or e-mail works fine, too.

Anyway, I need to go write!

I decided to bite the bullet (is that the right cliche? I'm horrible with cliches) and register with NaNoWriMo about a week ago....it's quite intimidating, I must confess, but I actually wrote over two thousand words today, so I'm not completely lagging yet (which is good, as it was only the first day)....I keep telling myself (to offset the nagging voice in my head saying I'm just going to make a fool of myself with this and not get anywhere near the word count needed ) that I can do this, and I will do this.... "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I did," like The Little Engine That Could. Oh, I'm rambling....you can tell I'm tired, and need to go to bed, cause I'm rambling. Hehe. G'night.

A lot of people start off really strong but by the end they're not writing much at all.

Other people start slow and really pick up speed by the end of the month.

Other people start okay and then stop before they hit 10,000 words.

And so on and so forth...

I have a feeling I'll be the latter of those three types... Do people seriously have over 12000 words written already? It's only the third day! Yikes! I am very impressed.

I'll come and join this thread, since I'm taking it up as well.

Kinda behind, though. Almost to 6000 as of now.

I've got a title, plot, general (but unwritten) outline, and I know how it'll all end, so I guess I'm alright in those regards.

I just don't want to quit. Anything but dropping out.
