I might one of these days! I think I shall set a goal to finish at least half of my WIP before joining any RPs though, because I will totally get distracted and abandon my story XD

Also I agree with your signature. That’s so great lol!

I said hello and then was immediately distracted, sorry. XD Your Minecraft ship sounds splendid.

Oh no that’s alright lol!! Thanks! XD

Congrats!! That sounds so fun. I love editing, personally, although maybe you don’t feel that way. What’s this WIP about? Have I heard about it before or is it a recent thing?

Thanks! Honestly, I wasn’t sure how I was going to like it since this is the first time I’ve ever made it to draft #2. It is fun though! I feel like I’m basically just using the rough draft as an outline at this point lol.

Pretty much anything I’ve posted that has to do with my stories (which is like nothing, really) is probably from this WIP. I’m currently calling it the Swords of Eldallion.

People in Eldallion forged weapons with different dark curses, and they are either overcome by these curses or they use it for power purposes.  There is a type of sword– which I haven’t found a specific name for yet– that can fight against these curses and not be taken down by them. It is a gold sword that was given to the people by the Almighty to fight the darkness. That’s kind of the concept behind the title. There’s a plot that goes along with all this, but idk if this makes sense and I don’t want to keep rambling if it doesn’t XD

I wonder if the fairy tale is inspired by a societal problem from the time it was made up.

Huh. I didn’t even think about that. That seems possible.

By the way, is your flu feeling better now? And are you doing any writing these days, or more focused on other things?

Yeah, thanks! I just got a cough now. I think I accidentally spread it to my mom though. And I have been writing a bit! I finally finished the first draft of my WIP in June. I’m working on chapter 8 of draft two currently.

This looks really fuuUuuUUuUuUUun.

My brothers keep telling me to cheat when I’m trying to find materials for something, but can’t find it, and I think that’s so unfun.

Oh yeah no. That is no fun.

:-p I was a little inspired by Thumbelina. And Pride and Prejudice, come to think of it. The troll family is a bit like the Bennets, except they live in a cave and probably eat people.

That is awesome XD I somehow didn’t know who Thumbelina was. She did sound a bit farmiliar. But I used Google and I have the knowledge now lol.

I think I’m having dramatic mood swings today because every time someone has messaged me or posted in the past hour, I start laughing hysterically. Very different from how I was a few hours ago. XD

Ah, I see lol!

A sky ship is a cool idea. Oh oh oh, you can have a rope ladder by putting a normal ladder over a glass block. I’m not sure if that would work, but maybe it would. You might be able to much smarter Minecraft builder than me.

Thank you! Oh yeah! I’ve actually done something like this before. I used commands to get a barrier block instead of glass though, so that’s kind of cheating if it’s for a survival project lol.

Also I couldn’t help but notice the talk about the princess trolls trying to marry your character and I started dying a bit XDXD That is really funny.

Awww no. I don’t like emotional turmoil. I shall send you virtual cookie. *sends cookie*

Yeaaah. I’ve been building a sky ship called the Zephyr. It’s a ship from a book I like to read. Right now it looks more like a floating building, but I plan to fix that later on lol. And I spawned a cat, and named after a typo my friend made. His named Hewrd.

Your explanation of fasting is great. And thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think I do sometimes get confused on the real meaning and intention behind fasting, since I tend to unintentionally look at it from the wrong perspective…

I have thought that maybe I am doing something wrong, and that perhaps writing is only hindering me from hearing God. Although, I don’t know reliable my idea is, since I usually always find something wrong to think about, whether or not I’m being an active writer. Even if I’m supposed to just take a break from writing, I have a suspicion that I’m going overboard with it for other reasons… because so far, no one else that I’ve talked with about this seems to think that my writing-break idea is really all from God… so I may just simply be taking a break this month to take a break.

Also, thanks again for replying and sharing your thoughts! I really do appreciate it a ton. Like I said in my previous post, I hope I’m not oversharing anything! I tend to either be socially awkward or the complete opposite, which I’d like to say can be awkwardly overboard lol.

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

That does make sense! I have talked with people I trust. Almost everytime, I have gotten a response indicating that they think it’s just me overthinking, and that I probably don’t have to take a break…Yet it didn’t really matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get the thought of taking a break to go away.

And I don’t want to be mad at God… I guess I just don’t understand why I think He’s telling me to do this, which is frustrating. I didn’t write in January, and I’m still resentful about it, even though it’s over. Because I still don’t understand why I did it, other than to possibly clear my head? I kind of just avoid thinking about it…

If this might be an OCD thing, try to pinpoint why you’re doing it. Is it a fear of something? Are you punishing yourself for something?

I’m not sure honestly… I have thought that maybe I get distracted really easily, and I should take a break to refocus on other things. I just didn’t think my writing time overtook other activities that much…. I could be wrong, but I feel like I can readjust my time if I notice my writing is making me neglect other important things…

I agree that taking a break isn’t bad… It just seems like other people take breaks because they want to, or they simply have nothing to write about. I feel like taking a break -every time I think I must- is like some kind of task I’ve been putting off for a while 😅 If that makes any sense…

Also I hope I’m not ranting or oversharing too much… Thank you both so much for replying. My brain is constantly going in all different directions between story ideas and other unrelated concerns. 😵‍💫 And I’m very grateful there’s other Christian writers out there to talk to.

This is kinda long, and it’s not really a specific prayer request… it’s just something that goes around in my head that’s minor… 🙃 I hope it’s okay that I put it here.

Does anyone else get random urges to start fasting from writing? I always assumed it was just my OCD until early this year. I finally convinced myself, after nearly two years, to take a 31 day break from writing.

The past four years, I’ve heavily struggled with fasting from various things as a compulsion with OCD. And I came to a point that I felt angry when I had to fast, but I’m glad I did so the urge calmed a bit.

Now I always take at least 2 days off a week from writing, just to make sure I’m not going to get an urge to start fasting again. But I guess it doesn’t really work like that, because I have a new urge to fast from writing. I feel like God is telling me not only to take a break in January and the two days off a week, but maybe to also take June off?

I shouldn’t be mad, because I know it’s such a small, not very significant, thing. But I am mad because I struggle with other things mentally… and I sometimes feel like God is just throwing this on top of it all to be concerned about.
