Fair enough, lol!

Would you say that you adhere to the doctrine of infallible scripture and/or sola scriptura then?

I hope that wasn’t too much😅

@stephie

What I was trying to get at is that God was the first one to use the word “good.” That means that He invented the word. However, it’s debatable whether God invented the concept of good. It would certainly make sense if He were the origin and the source of all goodness, but I would have to really do research in order to fully back that.…

We know God created the word Good, but maybe not its meaning, because He used it before anybody else existed.

So I’m not sure what exactly your getting at here. Are you asking if Good as a concept existed prior to God’s first use of it in Genesis? If so, I’d say yes.

Since the bible says that the requirements of the law are written in our hearts,…

Oof, I’ll repost

I agree a lot with what Esther said– my characters are the only main reason that writing appeals to me!

I’ve started to notice that my characters are all different pieces of myself. I kind of see it as each one having a little bit of a different part of my personality. That doesn’t necessarily mean they are all like me,…[Read more]

You know your a writer when someone sneezes, and you naturally start to contemplate the implications of a world in which the mechanics of sneezing is a magic system.

@jonas

Do you mean Long Chills and Case Dough? Or something else?

@theducktator

I will probably read The Sunlit Man first, since that one is available at my library. I had Yumi, but alas, it was returned before I read it. ☹️

Ah, that makes sense. I’ll be reading Sunlit soon. I heard you need a lot of background for it though, but it’s mostly Stormlight stuff, so you should be ok.

I didn’t know there were two. I…

I’ve read Skyward, Tress of the Emerald Sea, A Frugal Wizard’s Guide to Surviving Medieval England, and all of the Stormlight Archive except Dawnshard, which I think I have from the library, but is missing. Alas.

Awesome! I’ve read all of those except Stormlight 4, which I’m in the middle of. Are you about to read Yumi then, sin…[Read more]

@theducktator

Thanks! A few tips would be nice, but I’m mostly focusing on my other WIPs right now.

Alright:)

Oh yes. Especially at the end when Alcatraz and Bastille were arguing over who broke the balcony. And I’m so glad Grandpa Smedry is still arriving late for his death. I love him.

Yep, Grandpa Smedry is the best! So you’ve read Alc…[Read more]

Hi! I generally lean more towards soft worldbuilding, though I am trying to create a world with harder worldbuilding. (I haven’t actually come up with any good ideas yet though.) My duck world has a very soft magic system, in which pretty much every weird magic idea I’ve had exists. Including a singing pineapple.

Cool! A singing pin…[Read more]

Greetings your Duckiness!

I’m the Arcane Axiom. I love math, searching for divine fundamental truth, and exploring that in my writing. I read/write sci-fi/fantasy, and I’m currently working on a universe with my sister called the Sceptrum.

Questions!

Do you lean towards hard or soft worldbuilding? (I heard your into Sanderson, so…[Read more]

@esther-c

You think so?!!?

Thanks that means a lot to me!!!

How far have you gotten in my novel so far? I was just wondering XD

@grcr

Thanks for reading it!

@trailblazer

I agree with you so much on this!!!!!!!!!!

@esther-c

Okay good haha I am just scared now I guess? lol I have never really worried about being preachy before, I just kind of do my own thing I guess?

@whalekeeper

Yeah, haha I know, I just don’t want to mess anything up XD

@esther-c

Oh noooooo….

Now you guys have me worried that my story is too preachy….

ahhhhhhhhh!

I always listen to Christian music, like upbeat music that motivates me to write XD

the words don’t bother me because I am one of those people who can listen to music and do ANYTHING, even read while listening to music….lol

@grcr

That is soooo sad!!! And soooo sweet! I love it!

Also don’t feel bad tagging people! I love reading your writing!

(though I always feel bad too, so don’t worry you’re not the only one xD)
