I don’t need to cover everyone’s life. 30+ POV characters, each with their own arc, is ridiculous.

I’ll reply tomorrow. Sorry it’s taking so long. All my spare time has been spent making granola this week.

Historically, Advent is not about waiting for Christmas. It’s about waiting and preparing for Christ’s second coming, and it is a penitential season similar to Lent, for when He returns, he will not be a meek and mild baby in a manger, but a King coming to judge the earth. My dad says if you do Advent right,…[Read more]

@rae

I will!

(Oh dear.)

@linus-smallprint

Thanks! It was really fun to experiment with.

@grcr

They look great! That’s an impressive project. I hope it turns out well!

@linus-smallprint

Yep!

I suppose we could. I’m preoccupied today and tomorrow at least, but anyone can do it.

@rae @keilah-h

I will be on a week long vacation starting tomorrow. I am not sure how much of an internet connection there will be. But please continue when you feel up to it! If I do not reply within 24 hours, assume I’m out of reach.

On the bright side, it’s a quiet beach house and I’ll surely have time to write all day.

@linus-smallprint

Yup. Some people who attend my church fell into the Occult before they became Christians, and they blame it on Narnia.

Oh! Well. All the more to my point. There are book series that I, also, try not to reference in front of others too often because it makes them uncomfortable.

Heya, guys? Just want to point out the moderators were active over the past day or so. And I think I know what they were fixing. There’s a new “newest member.” Maybe they fixed the issue with making new accounts!

@linus-smallprint

Does your sister have an account now? If she doesn’t – potentially try requesting again?

@esther-c

I’m worried that I’m sending little messages that this sin really isn’t so bad or evil.

I really don’t think you have to worry about this unless the MC doesn’t face consequences.

Every MC lives with internalized beliefs, some right and some wrong, and if you’re telling the story from the MC’s perspective – they’re not exactly going…[Read more]

And a meme about my project for good measure. It’s too accurate to not make. XD

I thiiink this is just a me thing but I made it anyway.

@ellette-giselle

Third is most relatable to me. XD

So, I’m pretty much done with this cold, but now there is a stomach bug in the house. (I haven’t caught it yet thankfully) It’s DECEMBER and we haven’t spent a single month with no illnesses all year. I lost track of the number of illnesses we’ve had at around 7 or 8 in July, and I’ve had at least 3 since then, and there have been others I’ve…[Read more]

Everyone else: Authors aren’t really like that last meme.

Me: *threatens to kill my sister’s favorite character if she won’t listen to me rant about my newest idea*

@esther-c

Could you maybe say what specifically she’s doing? I might be able to help more with specifics, but if you want to avoid spoilers, that’s alright.

Every sin has an effect on the person sinning and the people around them, whether visible or not. So even if she’s enjoying herself, you can show how it’s eating away at other parts of her…[Read more]
