I can go into a lot of depth on this topic, but since I’m busy, I’ll just say this. More often than not, the best answer to this exact question is another question: Is it good? If it’s good, do it, who cares if it’s from the Holy Spirit. All good things come from God don’t they? Also, as Christ says, by their fruits you shall know…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

As a professional human male, I would be happy to offer some of my thoughts. What I think should be realized is that when it comes to gender, not every man is the same, and not every woman is the same. Men and women will have general differences, but a man can still be masculine while still showing off what might be considered…[Read more]

@theshadow

You tagged me, but this never came up in my email, so sorry for the late response😕

I’m pretty much on the same vain as Whale. Rivals is a pretty general term, but usually you’ll see some parallels between them.

There can be the kind of rival where they are simply trying to one up each other, simply prove that they are superior in…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

This is a hard situation. I’m not going to tell you what to do, because I haven’t dealt with such situations before, and I’m not going to claim any authority on the subject (though I do have family who might be able to help). That being said, the biggest red flag to me is her parents. If she is not only willing, but actively…[Read more]

@theducktator

I like to get to know it before starting the book, then I occasionally reference it during reading, but don’t have to.

@savannah_grace2009

Hold your horses now😅 We can do something like Tlavian if you want, it’s just the first thing that came to my head, but does it actually match the Andromedan language we worked out some time back? If not, we can either change the langauge, or change the word.

@savannah_grace2009

I guess some of both? Like what the Andromedans would call Him, as well as new names for what the humans could call Him?

I’m assuming we’re still just thinking about the Andromedans alone, but I mean phonetically in their tongue, vs translated titles. For example, a name for Christ in Andromedan could be Tlavian (I don’t…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Let me think….yEs PlEaSe HeLp Me 😭😭😭

If you’re busy though, that’s fine no worries!

Fair enough, lol! I can help a little. So are you thinking about Andromedan language names, or English titles, or both?

@kyronthearcanin

That’s awesome! Any way we could get a link?

@hybridlore

!!!!!!!!!!

Let’s go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven’t chatted with Solfyre in a while, I’m so happy she’s made it! Is it her original sci-fi with the mixed breed wolf?

@savannah_grace2009

Good point. In that case, I need thearcaneaxiom (HELP) to help me make up more names for God/Jesus.

Late to the call. Is this still wanted?

@theshadow

I have an idea for a book, but I’m not sure if it’s too dark to write about. It was essentially going to be dystopian and where atomic bombs destroyed the major cities of the world, but looking back on it I realized how dark that actually is.

The main message was going to be that no matter how dark the times are, there is always hop…

Sorry, I’ve been offline more and more lately.

You’re welcome! I’m really glad that you’ve learned and grown so much, and you’ll only continue to get better as you pursue this with the passion you’ve shown!

I would also be honored to appear on your acknowledgements, and I love the paragraph you’ve shared from that.

Don’t…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

It did not bother me as much in Tress. This was because she never liked lying and she eventually got to a point where she decided not to lie anymore (right after she became captain). I recall her lying at all after that. John, on the other hand, seems proud of his ability to lie and does it without a thought.

True. I need to…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Great review. This is pretty much what I expected. It’s interesting that you brought up the lying thing, since Tress kinda did that as well, where as her character got more mature, she was more and more willing to bend the rules of what she thought were hard lines of right and wrong.

My personal rating is probably 3 to maybe 4…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Sorry I haven’t gotten back to you, I’ve been really busy, and unfortunately am going to continue to be busy for a while. I’ll say a few quick things here though.

I should mention here that this backstory is going to be quite vague and a bit mixed up when it appears in the story. Lots of this history is lost to mythologies.…

@theshadow

Simply think about why the character is the way they are. Are they a pessimist, simply lack humor, quick to anger, or perhaps they are solemn and ponderous? In what way are they serious, and what lead them to be that way. Are there insecurities that are being masked by a flat face? How does this character interact with others, and how…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

I don’t like the idea of the bad spirit. I would like to avoid angels and demons (especially demons) in my story. This is part of the reason why I developed the crystals I wanted to avoid a demonic score of magic and I wanted to use one that felt more natural.

Fair enough🤷‍♂️

I’ve also played with the idea that other animals hel…

@linus-smallprint

I accidentally said the wrong thing. I was trying to say that Jesus always did the will of the Father, showing the harmony between the Father and the Son.

Gotcha, that makes more sense.

Very well. Seeing as you have dealt with all this before and you have likely dealt with whatever my response to those arguments will be. From…

@whalekeeper

I’ve been really busy today, so I’ve been slowly updating this post in bits of free time.

I believe we were originally created, and aren’t our own universal. Thus under God’s power we can be broken down into different parts – as before Adam, there was no Adam. But God doesn’t want this. We are consistent beings, not changing into ne…
