Abbi’s comments from the Share your story! group.

So, I hope everyone’s well… idk what to say really. Lol

I’m hoping to have some writing to share soon, a new book, and I’m pretty excited about that.

Hey everyone!

I'm sorry it's been a very long time (over two years) since I was last active here, but, ya know, life.

I hope everyone's been well & I can't wait to get active in this group again!

Aw, thank you, Elsie!! :)

Thanks! & I'm sure you're poetry's not half that disastrous! ;)

Wow! That's some awesome rhyming!! I like the tone as well - it's nice & bold, but not too loud :) Good job!

Thank you so much, Elsie! I really appreciate all of your feedback & I'm glad you enjoyed it (a bit anyhow :D)
I wrote it when I was 16/17 & in rereading now, some of it definitely looks childish, and though idk if I've improved on that, I've hopefully gotten a little better at feelings :P

Again, thank you so much, it really means a lot to me! Hope you have an amazing day :D

Hey, Jillian! That sounds like an awesome story! I love the idea of having an Irish Beauty & the Beast retelling - and strawberry blonde is such a great color for an enchanted bear! The names are also super fitting & lovely :)

New poem! It's also posted on my blog @ http://abbigrace.com :)
Hope you guys enjoy it! I'd appreciate any feedback.



The trees there are silver wood

With pale green buds,

Bursting into gold,

Fading to black before

Leaves fall to the ground;



Elves have bright eyes

And storm-forged swords

Fairy-folk stay unseen

And use spells of spoken word

Goblins shriek in the dusk

And cavern portals open to our world



There are five crowns

One of crystal, one of bone

One of mountain, one lost in empty halls

One called Veldstone


Fairies wear the crystal

Goblin wore the bone

Elf wears the other three


But depart from this world of imagined fantasy;

The greatest crown is by no mortal worn,

But borne by King of all, ruler of wind and land and sea,

And made of cruelly entwined thorns.

Thank you so much! I'd be glad to send you a free PDF copy of either of the first two books if you like; just let me know! :)

Longer poem today; titled "Dust" :)

I read once that we are all made of stardust
That the same as makes the lights of the night sky
Runs in our veins.
I read once that we are all made of dust
That our Creator molded us from the earth and breathed life
Into our lungs.
Some people don’t believe the two can be true,
That one must be false,
That science proves one and disproves the other,
That we are made of the stars alone;
But I believe
The same Creator made all dust.

Hey guys!
That sounds really cool Savannah! :D

Just a short poem today; longer pieces (possibly book excerpts) to come :)


Though all about me foes be set,
I will not my God forget;
To Him belongs even darkest hour,
In glory to show His mighty power

Hey :)

Yep; dogs are definitely more helpful :)

Yeah.... cats are not helpful XD

Hey, guys! ..... and that's kinda all I wanted to say XD sorry I've been so absent recently.

Elisabeth wrote: "Ah I’ll be glad to read it! But I’m not sure when I’ll be able though, I’ve gotten myself into a lot of buddy reads, challenges etc... but ill find time maybe somewhere in April."

Thank you so much! That would be awesome, and don't worry about when; it's ok if you end up not reading it too :)

If a PDF file is ok, could you pm me your email (I won't share it) & I'll send it over? Or would you like another format?

Also, not to be salesy, but I do have some published books if anybody's interested in a light YA Christian portal fantasy series.

Elfboy

Goblinprince

They're $4.50 on Amazon, but I'd be more than happy to provide members of this group with free copies for review. Again, I don't mean to be salesy, but I did want to mention it and if anybody's up for reviewing, that would be great & super helpful to me as an author. Let me know :)

Thank you very much! (I'm sorry I didn't see your comment earlier) Hope you've had/are having a great day! :)

Hey guys! Sorry I've been pretty inactive recently.. lots of life stuff going on :P

Anyhoo, here's a poem I drafted last night. Any feedback would be appreciated :) Ty!



When the world has ended and this moment is the last

What will you be doing?

Who will you be?

Will you rejoice at the coming of the Lord?

Or will you cower and mourn?

What will you be doing when Christ returns?

We are told to watch and wait; pray alway, for no one knows just when the moment will arrive

He will come as a thief, you don’t know if you’ll be dead or alive

What will you be doing when Christ returns?

Don’t fool yourself into thinking that day is a long way away

We don’t even know if tomorrow holds sway

Even as I write this, I don’t know if He’s coming

I just hope that I’m doing something

right.

I don’t know if I’ll last the night,

For I have sinned, very grievously

And am saved only by God’s mercy

His grace sufficient for me.

What will you be doing when Christ returns?

I hope I’ll be praying

I pray I’ll be working

Sharing the Gospel

Preaching the Good News

I hope I’ll be ready

I pray I’ll be waiting

***

Every moment may be the very last

It’s time now to be saved; it’s time now to work

Now’s all the time we have

This very moment may be

The very last

Moment the world has ever known.

What will you be doing?

Who will you be?

When Christ comes in His Heavenly glory?

This has preyed on my mind a lot of late

For, ere today, ere this moment, ere many times,

Surely, I would’ve met a grisly fate

Because I sinned

Because I failed

Because I fell

And did not desire to rise

Until I learned

This is the last moment.

Now’s all we have.

What will we all be doing when Christ returns?
