Sloan? Honestly? 😛 I don’t really like Katrina either. What about Roran? Do you like him?

Oh this topic is gonna be good. Wait till Kate gets here. She’s going to have the time of her life. 😉
If you’re only on the second book and you’re liking it, wait till you get to the last one. It’s the best for sure.
I don’t just love the series as a whole, but I adore certain aspects. I can’t stand Paolini’s writing style, and yes I wondered…[Read more] -

@Hope I’ll have to check those out. Thanks.
It seems Peter Hollens does covers of all the popular movie songs, and I knew you liked him besides. 😉

@gretald Hi Greta! I’ve noticed how much and how reverently you talk of God on Kingdom Pen; I really want to be like that too, but it doesn’t come as easy for me anymore. I was wondering, what do you do to cultivate your relationship with the Lord? I’m sorry if this is too personal a question; you certainly don’t have to answer if you don’t want…[Read more]

@hannah-krynicki
I actually was just in England this summer! I have some British friends, who I’m sure would be happy to help you out. Also, I do know a bit about British culture and accents (I’ve done British accents for some plays before), and I’d be happy to answer any questions that I can answer. 🙂 -
Corissa Maiden of Praise replied to the topic The Mind of a Writer in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 10 months ago
@Emma-Flournoy Indeed. 😀 I still won’t swim in the ocean though; I’m a bit paranoid about sharks. Not really technically afraid of them, I think I’d be willing to swim with them in an aquarium, but I’d much rather stay out of the ocean where I might be accidentally mistaken for a meal. 😉

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Inspirational Songs and Music Videos in the forum Music 9 years, 10 months ago
@Hope I’ve only heard the original version. Mebbe I should listen to a different one. But the voice is just too…yucky sounding! 😛 I don’t like his way of singing. What other version would you recommend? (Lemme guess—did Peter Hollens do one? 😀 )

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Inspirational Songs and Music Videos in the forum Music 9 years, 10 months ago
@Mark-Kamibaya I like them both in different ways. Edge of Night is a great pensive, brooding song. Last Goodbye is more of a bittersweet triumph; sad, but not sad, because even though you’re saying goodbye now, you’ll always have those memories. *sniffsniff* I need a tissue. @Anne-of-Lothlorien can I borrow some of yours?

@Mark-Kamibaya Ahhh yes the he/she thing drives me nuts. 😛
The main point is: People are more interested in making a statement than actually wanting to gain their rights.
Yes, I know completely what you mean.
Women’s rights is biblical. What I understand is that you identify the term feminism with the hardcore die-hard feminists. And I can h…[Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya You like The Last Goodbye even though the movie was ruined for you? Wul good!

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise Are you getting better from being sick?

@Emma-Flournoy Thanks so much for asking! I’m doing much better, just a little bit of congestion left, but as I’ve been without a fever for more than 24 hours I’m officially not contagious and will be able to go to my Eschatology class tonight! (That may not sound like the funnest thing, but I really enjoy it and would have been disappointed if I…[Read more]

Oh yay! I’m so glad. 🙂 Eschatology is the study of end times, right?
-
@Emma-Flournoy That is a correct definition, but not a complete one. Eschatology is the study of last things, which includes all of the end times, but also includes things like death in general. We spent a few weeks talking about death and what happens to us when we die. Now we’re talking about the Resurrection! 😀 (Although trying to get everyone…[Read more]

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise Neato. I think that would be interesting, though some aspects slightly mind-boggling. 😉
Uh yes, I’m sure the concentration last night was difficult. *clears throat nervously* Um, on this topic…who did you vote for, if I may ask? Or are you old enough yet; how old are you?-
Meh, I’m in the same boat as Kate. Still 17. 😛 Although I will be brave and say I would have voted for Trump. I DON’T like him, but I’ve heard way too much about Hilary. And Pence is nice (I may be slightly biased since I’m from Indiana 😉 ) so that would have made it easier. I just hope I have better options in 4 years when I can vote. 😛

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise Hillary…yes. But I think Trump is just as bad. His record show support of abortion, he’s terribly immoral (stuff he’s admitted to and bragged about!), he is an EXTREME pathological liar (I don’t just think that— you can see from previous statements, and evidence, when he’s lying, which is, I’m not kidding, almost…[Read more]
-
@Emma-Flournoy Yes, I have a problem with Trump too. I agree he has a terrible record. But in recent days -I’ll admit he’s flip-floppy and this could always change- but in recent days he has surrounded himself by intelligent, well respected people, some of whom are even notable Christians. I’m thinking specifically of Pence and Dr. Ben Carson. I…[Read more]

‘And really, when you think about it, we’re always voting for “evil” unless we’re voting for Christ. Some people are far, far worse than others, but no one is absolutely perfect.’
Yes, that’s true. Everyone is a sinner, but I believe it’s possible to discern the difference between someone who’s actually trying to live like Christ and someone…[Read more]

Also, if I had been voting, I wouldn’t necessarily vote for someone not Trump because I thought they had any chance. I would vote for whoever my conscience would allow me to, whether or not I thought they could win. My responsibility comes to God before country.
-
*joins in extreme laughter*
Yes, that’s much better. And yes, your vote is ultimately between you and God, and if I really felt I could not in good conscience vote for Trump, I wouldn’t. It would definitely be a matter of extreme prayer.
But thankfully I don’t have to make that choice yet. Hopefully I never will. 😛

Oh I know you wouldn’t do it without prayer. 😀
Let’s hope it never comes again!

Election day is today (you probably already knew that, unless you’ve been living in a hole in the ground 😉 ). Let’s take the time to pray for our country today.
Thy will be done, Lord.

Yes! Please take a minute (preferably at least five minutes) to come before the Throne and find rest in His peace. We don’t have to worry because we know that God has everything under control. Maybe, through some mysterious twist of fate, this election will improve America. However, sometimes, it was God’s plan for the Israelites to be defeated.…[Read more]

Amen @julia-r! Thank YOU for reminding me. I’m trying to rest in the Lord, but it’s so hard not to worry. I know that God’s got this. 🙂

Thanks for the reminder, Greta.

Yes @Gretald. Thank you.

Amen. Bless the polls, Lord.

Just like you said, whatever the outcome, it’s under control. -
Yes, let’s all pray for America. Good to be reminded, @Gretald.

Thanks for the reminder, Greta. So many people are afraid today, but I know God is in control.

Yes! Thank you for that prodding. It’s cool to know that there are young Christian writers out there who care about these things; you guys inspire me.

It’s a beautiful day, no matter the outcome of the election- because we know where our true citizenship lies. Thanks for the reminder, @gretald

Yes, let’s do that. We need it. (Like always…)

Going to just take a second to say, you guys are beautiful people and a true encouragement. It’s such a blessing to see you all bind together and write for the Kingdom of God and support others who choose to do the same. <3 *fades back into the shadows*

Julia R. replied to the topic How Would One Write a Screenplay, Exactly? in the forum Film 9 years, 10 months ago
@dragon-snapper: Read scripts! You can probably find some online. Like @mark-kamibaya said, learn the format, and create an outline. I know most movie scripts are center-justified, instead of left-justified, like a play script or novel. I would recommend starting by writing a short film, to familiarize yourself with the format and process of…[Read more]

Mark Kamibaya replied to the topic Favorite Movies in the forum Film 9 years, 10 months ago
I totally agree with you that that is just plain ridiculous. My example was very over the top and exaggerated. A realistic version of this would merely be the modern convention of writing he/she in place of just he or just she. The he/she thing is just tedious to read throughout any work of writing. Another real example would be…[Read more]

Thank you so much for this kind comment! This is about the nicest thing anyone has ever told me. 🙂
I honestly totally understand that it sometimes is difficult to talk about God in a public setting. It’s easier online than it is in person. God’s just been teaching me lately that I should be willing to bring Him into my…[Read more]
Thank you so much for that. I wish I had a friend like you in real life (well, not that this isn’t real life…someone I could see, I suppose, haha). I believe God honors a heart that is turned toward Him. Don’t turn away; it causes a lot of heartache.
Blessings,
Hannah
Aww, thank you, @dancefree7. I totally know what you mean about having Christ-like friends. I don’t have many of them, and I yearn for the deeper conversations you can have with such friends. Please don’t hesitate to ask for anything. If you want, I can give you my email. Your comments have been very encouraging to me, and I would love to get…[Read more]
