Hi everyone, sorry I ghost this topic so much, but my dad could really use some prayer right now.

We just called an ambulance to take him to the hospital and my mom went with him. He’s been having really bad stomach pain that keeps him from eating and sleeping and makes it difficult to breathe. He hasn’t been able to work because of it and it’…[Read more]

@rae you were asking about my currently unnamed fanfic for a fandom I don’t even suggest getting into?? lol

not finished editing it but here, delete the space or something lol

@ellette-giselle

You two have some issues with trusting authors. I don’t deserve this at all. What have I ever done to warrant this?! (lol)

I am an author and I don’t trust myself, so there! Lol.

trust me (or don’t haha), we all have done plenty to warrant being very sus of each other. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, or well it kinda is, but is…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

 even if we’re glad the character didn’t die, it often feels a little artificial.

While I agree with you that maybe killing off Adrian is the best course of action, especially considering this is supposed to be a realistic missionary story, I’ve also seen a story where it’s the opposite: They killed off a character because it…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Thanks, it’s not that I feel ashamed, it’s that I feel like I am being self absorbed and selfish just asking for prayer for myself.

No, that’s not wrong. Especially in your situation. How many siblings do you have? Are you the youngest, oldest, or in the middle?

I’ll be praying for you. Is there a name I can refer to you…[Read more]

@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.

@anyone

My rubber hose style drawing phase has returned

Felicity—Group 1, Elderstrand 

Felicity shot a glare at the guy who had just brought everyone to the roof. He was currently lying down, exhausted, and right within kicking range. Felicity did not like being pulled from a fight before she could finish it.

Copy pasting tags has always worked fine for me. You just need to make sure they’re spaced out properly

@koshka thanks!!
