@whalekeeper In my mind, I see it as:

Protagonist–The main character or character whose arc we’re following. The POV character in a first-person story.

Hero–Subtype of protagonist. Usually someone with a sense of good and evil, a person with moral standards they won’t break unless in an extreme situation, a person worth emulating at least by…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Yes, the defeating the prophesy junk is stupid unless there is a very valid reason. For instance, I had a character in a book who was cursed by the gods of his people because of a prophesy, but when he came to Christ he was able to flip that on it’s head and say, “you know what, I was cursed. But so are all of you. We are all cur…

@rae yeah I can see that.

idk about misunderstood but tragic definitely.

@freed_and_redeemed ugh you’re making me sad now

like in Freedom’s Fire you see him as mostly heartless and cruel, but in all the other books he is more humanized–he has a brother, he has a family, he has reasons for why he did what he did. Not that they were good reasons, mind you, but it means that it upsets you that he went down the path of…[Read more]

well also you can’t really talk about church density NOW as opposed to in the past….y’know?

pretty much about the entire country is really skewed when it comes to that these days….

@calyhuge whoa he was your ancestor? As much as you might dislike him, you gotta admit that’s cool.

@power @ellette-giselle lollll this conversation has me just sitting here on the sidelines watching, I would be eating popcorn but I’m not a huge fan of popcorn, unless it’s popcorn chicken so maybe that’s what I’m eating.

@rae thank you!!

• glad I wasn’t disqualified lol
• confusion in writing is what I’m good at for some reason XD XD
• honestly though, I can see why you think this reads like a chunk of a larger story rather than a short story, cause it kinda is. I wrote it for practice and to maybe one day turn it into a larger storyline, cause that’s how I craft…

@ellette-giselle wowwwwww

That is so cool!!

My dad designs houses, so if I ever want him to make me a house, I’m gonna ask him to put one in there.

@ellette-giselle THAT WAS AWESOME.

I have like zero records of my family history lol. My dad is trying to find some information on his family tree, but there isn’t much to go by. I guess his ancestors didn’t keep a lot of genealogical records.

@koshka thanks!!

@koshka

here you go!

my charries confronting each other on top of a train. Inspired by the hurricane that hit Florida last month; the wind sounds reminded me of what it would be like standing on top of a fast moving vehicle such as a train, so I drew this. Then I wrote a scene for why they were confronting each other, and then I revised it a…[Read more]

I also have the drawing I based the original scene off of if anyone wants to see it.

@everyone but @rae especially

This….barely counts as the story of a scar, or a short story. LOL.

I had a much better one in mind but just didn’t have the drive to write it. So I pulled out a scene I had written for practice and added some extras to it, polished it down, etc.

So instead of a clear, nicely written short story, you get three…[Read more]

@rae I’m working on mine as well, although if I don’t get it done by today am I out? Like, is it ok if I get it up tomorrow?

@savannah_grace2009

Good!! Yeah, that’s hard, but I’ll keep praying for y’all! 🩷

@freed_and_redeemed @ellette-giselle whoa, great drawings!

@savannah_grace2009 that’s good! I’ll be praying for you and your family.

@rae @everyone else yeah I’ll get to this today, but it won’t be for a while lol. I had a story concept in mind, but never finished it so I’m just gonna redraft one I already had and was gonna share earlier but didn’t get around to it…..lol

@freed_and_redeemed

I know you’ve already gotten a lot of replies, but I’d be happy to help you brainstorm later today! We can even coordinate being active at the same time if you want some back and forth brainstorming! :))
