Setterfield’s First: The Thirteenth Tale

by

6986999

This is Setterfield’s first book. Powerful and descriptive with emotions and stealth. An  exciting romp and relaxing at other times, at the same time. A good intrigue and suspense.

“There is something about words. In expert hands, manipulated deftly, they take you prisoner.”
Powerful writing, powerful words in the hands of a wonderful manipulator of words. She captivated my heart with the way she writes not only what she wrote. Big cheers!

In this story a woman is asked to come and be a live in writer to a recluse author to pen her autobiography. The story that unfolds makes it an amazing mystery, fun to read and intriguing to discover.

$$$$$ one of my favorite books. I cannot wait for another one of this author.

Prepare Prepositions Purposely Proposing Prospect

by

MG 2000Prepositions like adverbs and similes are dangerous and could be tedious. Be of great care when utilizing them when writing by imagination lest they get cumbersome.

Could Str8 Man Have Gay Friends

by

Dear Baba Rumcake,

Could a gay man and str8 guy be really good friends w/o the str8 guy being paranoid all the time? Even if the str8 guy is so secure with himself, his GF or buddies won’t be and will eventually wear him down by making him paranoid and badgering him and asking him why he’s friend with a gay man.
I have more str8 buddies than I know gay men and they all eventually become paranoid and leave and I have never had any sexual feelings toward them, they were like my brothers.

Str8 Shooter

Dear Str8,

Who are you trying to convince that you are straight? Not me, I hope! Sounds like a problem of your own making. We make friends with whoever comes our way without choosing and picking, unless we choose and pick who we go after for friendships.
People will come and go in your life, some Asian, Black, White, Alien, Gay, Women or otherwise. Who cares!? Why do you care who cares who you befriend? Make friends and keep the innuendo out of it. If someone makes a play for you, then get all mouthy and defensive. Otherwise give it a rest.

Intercession Or Interference

by

When you stand in the gap of intercession, you stand for someone in the gaping hole between them and the Lord. Is that what you do really? Do you stand in the gap for that person or do you stand in judgement against them and God?

Many people complain that God does not answer their prayer yet do not take the time to find out where their heart is at with those prayers. When god gives you discernment His intention was not for you to be the critic of the day. The intention for that knowledge is to pray, that is all.

More often than not you will judge what you hear as should and should not happen. We are not to stand in judgement either of God or the person who needs the prayer. All you need to do is bring the problem to God without interjecting your own morality or idea into it. This is too harsh, or that should never have happened or why did this occur. Leave it be and let God do His thing.

Interference is detrimental to the request. It falls on deaf ears. If instead of pleading a case with a worldly judge, you accuse him of unfairness, it is unlikely he will hear what you have to say.

Intercede, do not interfere. Stand in the gap, do not stand in the way.
