Daeus started the topic Including the gospel without being cheesy in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month ago
Hi friends,
@that_writer_girl_99 asked me how I include the gospel in my stories without sounding cheesy. I figured I’d share my thoughts publically here so we can all participate in this discussion.
First of all, let me point out that this isn’t a dissection of the large topic of theme — this is just one part of that. Theme is about more than…[Read more]

@waterlily, I have a very interesting style of either I completely plan out the book, or just have a vague idea and go with the flow. there is no in between for me until I have gotten father into it.

I use K.M.Wieland’s outlining system for outlining my novel. I only do basic outlines of chapters when I come to them. I also keep a long bullet list of random ideas for my story and many of these ideas end up getting woven into the plot.

I love outlining (or, at least I love how it works for me) and I don’t think I know anybody who has tried outlining and been disappointed by it. I also know a couple people who have tried outlining and been happy they did.
At the same time, I don’t recommend outlining everything. Your story needs room to evolve. If you outline too deeply, you’ll…[Read more]

Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic Character Development Methods in the forum Characters 8 years, 1 month ago
@gh24682468999 I use a character questionnaire sheet I made up that used to be on KP and is currently on the Story Embers site. For me, a lot of a character has to do with asking enough questions about them to boil them down to three central qualities about who they are as a person. Once I have a set core for the character, it’s easier for me to…[Read more]

That’s fine. How did (Mach 11 was it, or was it Second Chances?)… one of those sound like Cannon in D? I’m curious… Also, rock music? How did it sound like rock music?
Thank you for checking them out, though. If you know of anyone who would be interested in my music, though, I’d be grateful if you could send it on to them! ^_^
