My family also doesn’t have a specific denomination—we believe and follow the Bible, and I think the church we usually attend is non-denominational.

LOL guys, I literally just took a picture of this yesterday because I was at church and found one!! XD

@trailblazer

I haven’t tried to tan either…mostly because I want to learn to be okay with how I look normally, and love myself the way God created me.

I don’t want to follow trends just because the world says I’m not enough…I want to learn to be okay with being different the way God made me.

@whalekeeper

Okay, I have some time today, so I’m going to write out my thoughts and advice. I might come back to this tomorrow.

So, for anyone who’s interested, here’s my tips for

Designing Magic Systems

I like to think of there being three main aspects of a magic system: Access, Effects, and Cost. Access refers to any prerequisites for using…[Read more]

I use Reedsy, I’d highly recommend. It’s completely free and very easy to organize random ideas, all in one place!

It’s changed my writing journey, and it’s made my life SO. MUCH. EASIER!!!!

Idk, I just think of random ideas for my world, and then write it down. I don’t go too much in depth, but I do enjoy creating fantasy maps and things…I…[Read more]

@theducktator

Do you ever hide random mini Jesuses places? I have a couple, and one I just found someplace. XD

I do!!! that’s why I bought them…I hid a bunch at church and at school!!! My school isn’t a Christian school so I thought it would be cool to hide them to bring attention to Jesus and be a light!!!!!! I also keep a bunch for myself and…[Read more]

@trailblazer @stephie

This is random, but I’ve been eavesdropping on your conversation…

Has anyone noticed how the beauty standard now is like “you have to be tan and have darker skin or else you’re not pretty enough”?

It really bugs me how girls now are using self tan or judging other girls who are “pale”. Honestly I’m sick and tired of…[Read more]

@trailblazer

Girl literally… that’s so relatable! Sometimes if I’m driving alone I’ll talk to Him aloud and picture Him sitting there. I probably look like I’m crazy but He is always with us, so why would He not be in the car with me?

YESSSSS

Every time I leave my house and I’m driving, I pray out loud that I drive safe and Jesus uses me to be…[Read more]

@liberty that sounds cool!

@liberty Weird how it’s saying it didn’t tag me. I got the notification on the first tag.

I might do this story, but I might not, cause it’s kinda hard for me to get an idea fast, especially for such an abstract concept.

Also….I mean…if you read the one I posted for the “story of a scar” challenge, you’ll see how bad I am at making short…[Read more]

@theducktator

To clarify, I meant incorrect, not morally wrong.

OHHH okay that makes way more sense!!!!!! I totally see your point!!

I do talk to God somewhat casually, but I also call him God and say amen. XD So I get what you’re saying about how He wants to be involved with our lives, and I have been taught that. I’ve also been taught that He…

That feeling when you’re reading an Answers in Genesis book, and don’t get me wrong, they’re great, but sometimes that writing team NEEDS a couple more editors……

I go through a section and I’m like “Mr. author, you could’ve said that in ten words and it woulda been just as impactful, but you used two whole sentences, and because of that it kind…[Read more]

I could talk about my magic system for hours, but I will leave it at that unless anyone would like to know more XDXD

@whalekeeper

What is your system like? What is the concept behind it? And are there any problems to share? (Well, as my friend says, we all have problems… But this is specifically for magic problems. :p)

SOOOO

The only magic in my story is bad magic, used by the villains (Pythonos)  (I do have characters with special abilities/powers, but I do…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I FEEL SO UNDERSTOOD
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

@koshka

As you should be…XDXD

@beth-torres

It’s very fun, you should hahaha

I do really love fall vibes too, *shrugs*

Glad I’m not the only one hahaha!

@raxforge Common mistake. I’m used to it though.

@rae thanks!

@koshka

It’s okay Keilah. The other day I called one of my characters something like “my little wolf child” and “baby”.

My older sister looked at me with this blank stare and asked who I was talking about because “Isn’t he the soldier?”

lolllll

I’ve never called one of my charries “baby.” It was honestly a huge stretch to call…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I’ve heard that there are basically three factors that make a character like-able: how “nice” of a person they are, competence (or alternatively, proactivity), and sympathy.

Of those, sympathy is the closest to relatability, but you can sympathize with someone who is in a completely different situation than you’ve ever been in. I d…[Read more]

I could fangirl all day over Secret of the Wings. Except that would bother people, so I choose not to. (You’re welcome, random people around me.)
