By the way, (theducktator, and thearcaneaxiom as well), what books would you recommend to a fan of Tress and Alcatraz?

Hmm, we’ll I’m biased for Sanderson in general, so I’d point to anything from him. Frugal is up the same ally of humor and flair, but you’re already reading that. Have you started Skyward? I think you’d like that…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint @whaley

(Also, as you and Whaley have suggested, perhaps we should take this over to the Apologetics chat and leave this to people who want to discuss Tress of the Emerald Sea)

I agree, so I’m just going to make the switch right now.

A couple of things. Firstly, I did not realize the term ‘Mormon’, is offensive, I am sorry for…

@thearcaneaxiom @linus-smallprint (if you have thoughts)

Shifting this discussion is best, so we don’t flood the book review XD

Indeed we do have very different theological and cosmological prospectives. It just bugs me that that needs to be where the identity of us as Christians must be. Yes, theology is important, but what did Christ constantly…

Hopefully that helps you estimate length :] Thinks like hair color and eye color only need one sentence unless they’re important. Same with clothes and body type.

If you need to summarize a character super quickly, pick the most important details and put in a few sentences, like this:

Marcel is a young superhero with a heart of gold. With…[Read more]

Okay. So usually I have a detailed bio for a character, but can still condense it into a small section if I ever need to share it with someone, summarize an intro in my outline, etc.

I just go with this, as an example, with a known MC of mine.

Name: Marcel, Mars (nickname), Waltman (last name in office records but isn’t…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Please, share an example of one of your sheets!

I’ll pull up one of my sheets and see if I can find how I condense it. Brb.

@whalekeeper

Indeed we do have very different theological and cosmological prospectives. It just bugs me that that needs to be where the identity of us as Christians must be. Yes, theology is important, but what did Christ constantly denounce the Pharisees for doing? Weren’t they constantly concerning themselves about being right, and Christ was…[Read more]

Dante

“Huh.” A lab experiment. The whole no needles rule was starting to make sense now.

Dante stopped walking in the middle of the parking lot and spun in a slow circle. He was scanning the buildings surrounding them, looking for the right one. He paused, looking in the direction of the school.

“Of course,” he muttered. It was the tal…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

I have not read the book, but my mum listened to it on audio and enjoyed it 😆 She said it was cozy and a whole lot less complicated than Sanderson’s other works. She also tends to doze off while listening (she’s sick and has a terrible sleep schedule) but understood enough to give it a positive review, lol.

To this day she say…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Why deny our relationship with Christ😥

I don’t mean to start a discussion on this thread, and we can move it if it goes any further 🙃 I do believe at least from a reformed perspective – and other people probably agree with me – that the Church of the Latter-Day Saints is not what we define as Christianity.

Those in the L…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Sorry, right now I have no plans to read Yumi and the Nightmare Painter. After seeing some of the artwork in the book, it seems there may be some scenes I would not be comfortable reading. I also found out that the plot involves Yumi and Panter switching bodies, which is not something I am interested in reading about. I know…

@theducktator

lol yes

Your character does actually kinda sound like a younger version of me except I’m taller:P

Anyway, glad you found a good name for her!

@savannah_grace2009

Aww, I love it!!

@freed_and_redeemed

Hmm… maybe you could bring Riker to a point where he starts playing what-if scenarios in his head. Like “What if God does really love me?” “What if I can actually be forgiven?” Etc. to where he eventually starts believing it. I’m sure he’ll fight it at first, but then he just finally…[Read more]

(I’m finally getting back to you within a few days!! 😱😂)

Ok, awesome!

Hallie

Hallie blinked a few times, the awkwardness of the moment sinking in. Her cheeks burned as she took a step back. “Oh, I guess… Well… um, thanks?” She forced a chuckle. Top hat? She mentally scrambled for something else to say, but nothing came to mind.…[Read more]

@trailblazer

What are some ways to set up healthy boundaries with technology to keep it from overruling our lives, and how can we use it to our benefit? What can we do to take advantage of this tool, literally at our fingertips, to make God known?

A common practice within my own faith is fasting. We specifically fast from food every first Sunday.…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Oh my goodness the poor darlings 😭😭😭 I need to see them happy and healed soon 😭

I loved Leon’s confrontation scene. *hugs him* And Isaiah is so sweet 💖

And Riker 😭😭😭😭😭  *hugs him too*
