Wait naaahhhh 😭😭 Not this guy??

Not wanting to make fun of his character or your personal tastes, but HOW. He’s probably forty, and he looks like my friend’s dad only with glasses. I really want to know the thought process here…

I don’t know if there’s an armory in this place, so I just added one.

I rubbed my eyes blearily. Had I fallen out of bed? I put my hand on the ground. It was…stone? I leapt to my feet. “Wow.”  Sun shone through a high circular window, glinting off of what appeared to b…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

I have no idea. I just found it.

@whalekeeper

Oh, i need to get some writing done so I will definitely be participating. Maybe I’ll write today and then wait a day or to for the soreness from today to go away before posting XD it looks like you’ve already had a workout here

@ellette-giselle

Well if you’re still alive…. I did another 500.

My little sister patted my back and knocked me down like a leaf XD

I have the strength of a leaf, truly

You messed with a speed writer girl. That was a bad idea.

I will leave you alone now if you want.

No, I cAn tAkE iT. It’s FiNe. It’s totally FinE. Seriously though, you can do…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

*Sighs*

Nah, actually, people can just post the words if they want to

*Does another faceplant*

@ellette-giselle

NoOOoOoOooOOO!!! 😭😭😭 Okay here I go

Holy cow that hurt

@esther-c

😳

@esther-c

But as long as they’re not like, staring at the floor or clearly not even looking at me, then I’m not offended or anything.

You wouldn’t like talking to me then lol

Ok, jk I’m (probably) not that bad.

@whalekeeper

Yeah, it makes sense, and yes, I get why people value it. I think I’m just frustrated from working a customer service job…[Read more]

Also like, if you said Gospel-thematic stories were the only good stories… you’re cutting out a whole lot of stories. Stories can be chill, they don’t have to carry the whole fate of the world on their backs. Should I attack a puzzle mystery show for not including a biblical message? You might as well critique every human-made thing with the same…[Read more]

@rae

So, as I said, I’m just debating the opposite side from you, so I most likely do not believe what I’m saying.  In fact, I’m personally more inclined to agree with your side.

Alriiiiight *cracks knuckles* Hopefully this makes sense (:-P)

I agree that sometimes a gospel storyline can feel forced when added randomly into a plot, but it just h…

@mineralizedwritings

girl I thought you seriously dissagreed what I said. I’m not used to you responding to discussions with such short answers and I’m used to ‘touching a nerve’ meaning like…

I’ve been stressing about it sm today LOL

I gasped out loud when you said that 😮 Oh no… I’m so sorry I came off that way! I replied quickly because I h…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

I think there’s a place for stories that present the Gospel, but also stories that may not necessarily present the Gospel. God calls us to all write different things, and honestly? I think that’s what’s most beautiful about these Christian writing communities and what each of us write

Exactly! If we were all writing the same…[Read more]

@loopylin

XD painfully relatable is what I was going for! Yep, he needs his bestie.

@rae @whalekeeper @freed_and_redeemed @anyone else in the discussion

Mind if I add my two cents about God in stories?

Writing God into a story is really really hard, and it’s not something I would want to mess up. It can go well, or it can go badly. A lot of you here are familiar with the wingfeather saga, which was written by a Christian, but I…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @freed_and_redeemed

I love this😭😭 so well put and so true.

That’s part of the reason why I write such deeper, even darker stories too. I think it’s something that needs to be addressed more. Cheers to you, girlie💖

Awww thank you guys 😭😭💗

@whalekeeper

Of course! By the way, I didn’t mean to sound like I disagree with anything you said. When I said you touched nerves, I meant those thoughts felt very applicable to second-hand pain I have… kind have gone through? Through empathy? Your experience is ten times more direct than mine 😅 I’m thankful to hear your perspective.

*gasps with…[Read more]

@loopylin
Yeah, just the topic is awkward because I feel like I could do better 😖 A guy once pointed out that I act distant around him, and I had to explain that eye contact is not natural for everyone on the planet. (I was also distant because he liked me, but that’s neither here nor there.)
I don’t beat myself up about it, but I still try to do…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

I love this😭😭 so well put and so true.

Me too!! Someone in our church was diagnosed with cancer a while back, and that was a hard week for everyone. You could feel the underlying exhaustion, but I think I was greeted ten times more by different members. People were just thankful for the support they still had. That hardship,…[Read more]
