I’m popping back on here to clarify; I was thinking of later in these characters lives. Like, they become close friends during the series, and sometime later, when Paxton is older, the marriage idea enters the horizon.
And I’m someone who has avoided any sort of romance in my book’s, as I wanted Christian literature without twitter-pated…[Read more]

Hey! I love Harry Potter too! Nice to meet you! Around here, I’m known as Tráhia the Minstrel. I write clean YA Fantasy and am currently writing a no-magic medieval-esque story about two princes from different families who are enemies.
Have you ever read Brandon Sanderson’s books? I’m just curious.

Trahia the Minstrel replied to the topic You have the ability to read a book for the first time again… in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 3 months ago
I’d either choose The Mysterious Benedict Society (cause both its major plot twists were spoiled for me before I read it😢) or the Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers. Because. The. End. Of. The. Second. Book. Was. So. GOOD.
Honestly, reading that for the first time was epic.
It’s funny. The books I go into with low exp…[Read more]

Things unchristian directors could do with my book … oh help.
They’d probably try to make out this beautiful, really close, boy-boy brother-like friendship I have into something else … if you know what I mean. And they’d probably cause conflict between that and another friendship/frenemyship one of the boys has with another main boy cha…[Read more]

Thank you so much for your advice! I found it really encouraging.

Hi!! I’m back, but warning now, I may have to disappear again in the somewhat near future.

You have the ability to read one book for the first time again, which book would you choose? Why?
Okay, this is such a cop-out, but I genuinely don’t have an answer to this.Maybe it’s because I haven’t read enough books, or maybe it’s because I really like rereading books so reading them for the first time again hasn’t really been something I’ve…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic Side Characters (FP,WS) in the forum Characters 4 years, 4 months ago
Awesome!
Well, yeah, I tend to be around quite a few people with opposing worldviews. Though it usually ends up with far more conflict and split paths than heroic character arcs that inspire the people around them, haha.

Kathleen replied to the topic Side Characters (FP,WS) in the forum Characters 4 years, 4 months ago
I think it’s great that you have a character that displays what the end of the MC’s character arc will be, so maybe for your students it could be the opposite of that. They could be the resistance to the MC’s character arc.
They would demonstrate different world views on the theme of “changing the world for the better”, Which would…[Read more]

Wow! That’s such a cool idea!
I wish I could help more but I just don’t know how! I feel like I would need to know more about the twins and how the actual magic system works with the whole “opposites and double gifted” thing.
I’m still trying to figure out how to display the themes in my book, but one of the best pieces of advice I’ve…[Read more]

Yay! Another character! Can I have a brief description?? It sounds like maybe another character from the Star Wars universe, but I could be wrong..? Also, I like the mysterious ‘dark past’ vibes!

Kathleen replied to the topic Age Gap in the forum Characters 4 years, 4 months ago
From what I see from age gaps, I think it’s more about the stage person is at in life rather than the actual number of years. (Though, the number of years is important too)
Like a fifteen-year-old dating, a twenty-year-old is a lot different than a twenty-year-old dating a twenty-five-year-old.

Kathleen replied to the topic What Makes An Allegory Impactful? in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 4 years, 4 months ago
@madelyn
I really like allegories that are subtle. Where the story alone stands strong by itself and the allegory just adds a layer of depth and core themes.Mainly because, if the story I am reading is very obviously an allegory, all I can think about is the story its an allegory of instead of the story itself, which gets in the way of me…[Read more]

At first I thought,”Romance, over described battles, messed up characters…”
Then I remembered my book’s cultures.
The first books MCs’ father would be shown as a bloodthirsty military captian, their mother a brutal taskmaster. The fact that this kingdom has a female home-guard would immediately warp into some feminist program. In…[Read more]

Well, I only have one moon, but it’s not exactly like ours, at least not for this far north Kingdom, and is a huge part of their culture. On the first full moon of the frozen months, she turns blood red (when she’s called Warrior), and the first full moon of warm weather she’s gold (Conqueror). These moons mark the two ‘seasons’ of…[Read more]
