Christian Writer replied to the topic What do you blog about? in the forum General Chat 5 years, 11 months ago
I would recommend that at the very least you talk about topics that relate to your major themes.
I would say this is probably the core approach.

Matthew Brown replied to the topic Do you suffer from writer's block? in the forum General Chat 5 years, 11 months ago
You are not the first person to say that to me. What sort of self-care do you use (if you don’t mind me asking)?

A went to the zoo and saw a cage with a tiger loaf in it.
I asked the zookeeper about it. He said it was bread in captivity.

Matthew Brown replied to the topic How would you feel about a little gamification here? in the forum General Chat 5 years, 11 months ago
Gamification means addition certain game-like aspects to something that is not a game. In this case, it would be a series of points and badges that are awarded to users for participation.

I was thinking of having it be part one.
