belindayhughes @belindayhughes (1096) • United States 7 Feb 13

rainforest89 I love writing too! I would like to know more about what you do to see if I'll be able to do the same (make a living writing). Do you take on paid assignments or do you just blog/write professionally online?

rainforest89 It really is a great movie. I was fascinated by all the Christian metaphors/allegories in the book when I read ANOTHER book explaining all the imagery/metaphors used in the book. If I remember correctly , the book is In the Heart of Narnia by Thomas Williams....
