Thanks! Iāll check it out! Also, how in the world did I get a rank? What does it mean? And (most importantly) how can I change it!? (I do not like the rank of Bumbling Henchman!) Whatever that means.

š Appreciator of BooksFebruary 12, 2024 at 7:18 pm #175847Character conflicts are fun! Honestly, I like reading those kinds of scenes too, mostly just for all the emotions between characters. It does sound weird, but I get what you mean.
Sounds cool! I would love to hear more!

2. If you could visit any place in the world, where would it be and why?
3. Who is your favorite author(s)? Favorite tv show or movie?
Nice to meet you and hope to see ya around!! š

February 12, 2024 at 7:40 pm #175858Great! So, their land is called Terrance. There are two kinds of horses: Scoros and Celetians. Can you guess what they are? Well, unbelievers and Christians.
All the horses have wings, but they canāt use them. The wings are sort of just a bundle on their back. This isnāt strange because every horse is born like this. Many, many years ago, the horses used to be able to fly and dwell with the King in the clouds. But, after they disobeyed the King, they were banished to the ground, and their ability to fly and be with the King was destroyed.
However, after the Prince came to die for the horses, their wings could be restored if they believed and followed him. Do you see the parallels here?
Now this is the back story for my book, Thorn.
Thornbriar is a young prince colt born in a Scoro herd. However, his life is drastically changed. After being banished from his herd, and nearly killed, he finds himself in a Celestian band. Heād never come across horses like these before, though he had heard of them. He knows thereās something different with them, and he desires for their peace, but he doesnāt see the end of himself. After a fight with one of the Celestians, Thornbriar flees into a very dangerous forest. After a series of events, each one brings Thornbriar to confront himself, Thornbriar is brought to the very end of himself and is finally ready to submit to the King and the Prince.
The book Thorns ends with Thornbriar getting saved and having his wings made anew. Then the sequel, Sun, comes in.
So, yeah! Thatās a much more detailed version of my story. What do you think?
February 12, 2024 at 7:41 pm #175859@liberty That sounds really cool! If you end up wanting to post it on here, Iād love to read it!

February 12, 2024 at 8:01 pm #175868I love the quote/verse you have at the bottom of your post! He IS always good.
Thanks! Thatās an ArcaneAxiom original actually.
Hard building. I actually donāt really like writing about magic. I mean I sometimes have what you would call magic in my stories, but it is usually viewed as bad. Thatās just for me. However, thatās not to say that awe-ing things donāt happen. I usually write good magic as miracles or specific gifts given by the King (God) to His people.
Fair enough. I was referring to worldbuilding in general though, not specifically magic. Iāve always found that interesting though. Personally I donāt have any problem with writing about all sorts of magic. Magic as a concept is very broad, and can mean different things to different people. Many Christians take magic to mean witchcraft and sorcery, with the connotation of counterfeits of miracles, others take it to mean what happens that we cannot understand, such as God even.
Iām currently working on completing many unfinished stories, but the book that Iām really working (one that I may publish), is called Thorn. Itās about horses. The story is a picture of salvation.
āThe story is a pictureā Interesting description. By picture do you mean a written vision of how salvation may work?
Okay, a favorite concept Iāve seen in other books is a certain character stereotype. Itās a bad guy, turn good guy. My siblings know this one. So many of my favorite characters are bad guys turned good. Thereās just something so attractive about those characters. And because they were once very opposed to the good, theyāre very strong for it.
If thatās a arch-type you like, then do I got the thing for you. Have you ever heard of Avatar the Last Airbender?
Iām not sure about the concepts I have found. I like the redemptive themes, and concepts that convey tough questions.
Yeah, redemption is always a beautiful thing. Thatās what the Gospel is all about, that is the good news.
Now, the last question. True nothingness? Well, nothingness is living apart from Jesus, the only source of life.
Fair enough definition. So thatās more nothingness experientially. Iām thinking logically though. If your experientially out of Christās presence, then you are still there, and you are not nothing, unless your referring to annihilationism.
He is perfect in Justice, yet He is perfect in Mercy, even when we fail Him. For this, He is good.
February 12, 2024 at 8:02 pm #175870Wow! We have a lot in common! Jesus, volleyball, dogs, homeschooling, writingā¦
1. Thatās a super hard question. I donāt even know if I have an answer. However, I really like writing my characters who have big struggles. They are usually internal struggles. Probably because Iāve had experiences like that too.
2. Thatās another hard one. Uhh, I love Iceland. Itās so beautiful, but because my favorite ever horse breed originates from there! Thereās also Scotland because I have relatives there. (Iām 1/4 Scottish, Clan Sutherland!)
3. Ahhh. This oneās easier. Well, some of my favorite authors are C. R. Hedgecock, John J. Horn, Douglas Bond, Chuck Black, and C. S. Lewis.
Favorite movies:
1. MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER!!!!! Return to the Hiding Place.Ā Ā Every young Christian should watch this movie!! Okay, perhaps not everyone.
2. The BEST HORSE MOVIE EVER!!!!! If youāre a horse lover, youāve got to see this one! War Horse!!!
3. Beyond the Mask. Amazing 1700ās story filled with thrill and a redemptive story.
4. Robin Hood with Russel Crowe
5. The Chronicles of Narnia
6. Hornblower. I love this series!

You like Beyond the Mask too??
I still love that movie, and I used to be OBSESSED with it, LOL
Ā
William Reynolds was one of the inspirations for one of the MCs of the novel Iām in the process of publishing, hehe XD
'Thought I'd wait'
'For what?'
'For the right partner'February 12, 2024 at 8:08 pm #175873Yes, my book, Thorn is kind of like an allegory.
Btw, how do you do the green line thingy?
February 12, 2024 at 8:11 pm #175875Yes! My family loves that movie! One of my characters is kind of like Will Reynolds, too.
Ahhā¦I feel so good that Iām not a Bumbling Henchman anymore. Although, Charismatic Rebel is really odd as well.
