Yep, I celebrate Christmas!

I celebrate it with a little different intention than many Christians do. Lots of people believe it is morally right to celebrate it as only Christ’s birthday, and we should have focus and do nothing else; as a child I was confused about this because it doesn’t mention this holiday anywhere in the Bible.

I don’t t…[Read more]

@stephie

My mom collects Nativity sets, and we have so many there’s never enough room for all of them, lol.

@theshadow

Yes, but not yet. Most people are celebrating already, but in my church, (I’m Anglican), we have Advent first. Unlike most people think, Advent is not the Christmas season. It is a penitential season focused primarily on the second coming, not the first. My dad says that if you do Advent right, Christmas should be a consolation prize,…[Read more]

@theshadow

I can keep track of them.🙂

@ellette-giselle

I like books with multiple POVs, but I do get what you mean. One book I was working on had close to 20 POV characters, who all had their own subplots. I ended forgetting a lot of what was going on, and couldn’t keep track of who was who.😂 If I ever get back to that one, the number will be…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

I just wanted to let you know I’ve been praying.🩵

Has anyone else here read Gone With the Wind? I just finished it. The ending!😭😭😭

*swishes cloak dramatically* After a very busy weekend and then getting sidetracked by a good book, I have returned.

@hybridlore

So, each of the six MCs in the main one do have their own POV. The series is fantasy, which does seem to allow for more MCs, and as of right now I don’t know how long it will be. I’m using 3rd person. I’ve never much…[Read more]

@grcr

I’m praying.🩷

@esther-c

Someone’s always sick this time of year.😖Praying.

@whalekeeper

Tag me if you do!

*sighs* I still have 200 words to write.😅

@highscribeofaetherium

I wouldn’t be offended, but you would have every reason to expect revenge.

@linus-smallprint

Ugh, Alan actually did it. I was hoping he’d come to his senses. The ending of that chapter is the kind that always makes me and my siblings chant “read another chapter!” when my dad does read alouds. Anyway, I think the descriptions of magic were fine. It’s fantasy, and you made it all up.

@whalekeeper

Ooh, fun question. I would write a suicide note and throw one of my coats in the river so it looks like I drowned myself.

@the_lost-journal

Sorry I took so long to get back to this. I vote A!

Also people like Ellette can have their limits, I’m not trying to shame that. 😅

I’m trying to think of a good way to put this… Say you’re writing a YA book about how loose relationships (no marriage, easily separated, “it depends on how I feel about you from week to week”) hurts people. Well, you’re going to have to depict a bad relationship in order to talk about it. You just have to. There will always be somebody wh…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

I for one thought the spell images were kind of cool… I think they gave a glimpse into how wonderful spell-casting feels like for a wizard. You get this sense of attempting majesty, if that makes sense, and I think that aligns with Alan’s character. Also the fact that all the images had something to do with animals was rea…[Read more]

@koshka @ellette-giselle Okay, here’s one singular reinforcement.

Barnes slipped past a colorful window, the rose and gold glass casting a soft glow along the side of her head.

The four students had exited the church, and were traveling at a slower pace. The leading teenager had kept the pace up brilliantly, and it was challenging at t…[Read more]
