• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Heh, most of the time, if I am not writing, I am thinking about what I am going to write
I consider both of those activities "writing."

I had a creative writing professor in college who said an integral part of the writing process is "couch time." He was a great old guy, I loved him. (Except that he wouldn't give us a grade on "couch time.")

I am driven by the concept of the isolation and loneliness of mankind, and I want to portray the honor and the dignity of those people who, in the face of opposition, stay true to themselves and to their cause; I think that this is the greatest expression of humanity and it is the central idea in a lot of the things that I write and the way that I live my life. It is sort of existential.

However, I also write because sometimes it is beautiful.

I couldn't imagine life without writing. Like, if society suddenly devolved and there was no paper or pencils, I think I would write on the ground with a stick. ;)
I'm the other way around. Life without writing would be so much better. I think every one should be an airhead. Screw art.

Suffering is more worthwhile if others learn from it too.


Rubbish.


* Why else would God teach us to communicate if others weren't to benefit? Be it a story of experience , or in older times, a message such as, 'The army is coming for you. Our village was wiped out.'

I have a severe disease and enlightening others helps me bear it easier.
