Yes, having a detailed outline can give you a sense of security while writing. You don’t have to worry about having as many plot holes or getting stuck in the middle of writing.

Ooooh, your fantasy trilogy sound really interesting! What’s the premise, and how far are you into writing it? Is it going smoothly or are you pulling your…[Read more]

I whole-heartedly agree. You know when an author is good when each of their characters have a voice of their own and don’t all feel like the same person. And yeah, research plays a big part in this. Fortunately for me, I really enjoy studying and researching people and their psychology. When I was seven, my sister and I would interview kids…[Read more]

I’m a bit late to this, but better late than never!

To me, interesting characters are characters that can not be accurately described in a single sentence. For instance a character who is NOT interesting could be easily described as, the funny guy, the serious general, the happy-go-lucky girl, the mean stepmother, etc.

A interesting character…[Read more]

Thanks for posting this! California definitely needs our prayers. Wild fires are relentless, and need as many prayers as possible. Hope everyone from California is staying safe!

Baymax! I’m so happy somebody had him as one of their answers. I’m not sure why so many people dislike Big Hero 6, but that movie has a special place in my heart. It cheers me up every time I watch it.

Oh,  and Hawkeye is another good answer. I really wished she was in the show more. And Mustang really should have given…[Read more]

A THOUSAND YEARS since you’ve had a Chocolate Crinkle cookie? Well if that’s not the saddest statement I have heard in the past four years, I don’t know what is. What does your sister do with all the Crinkle Cookies she bakes? She’s obviously not giving them to you. You don’t happen to have a pet phoenix do you? Man, do those things…[Read more]

I burst out laughing immediately after reading your answer @not-so-secret-secret-assassin ‘s. I must say, it’s nice to have you back. I feel safer when I know where you are.XD

@leon-fleming

I like your choice. I feel like some amazing stories would be written there. Have you ever been to one of those countries that you mentioned?

@leon-fleming

A personal spy eh? I had one of those in the past, until he just coincidentally disappeared one day. And no, I had nothing to do with it. Why would you ask such a thing?

Anyway…

I have no doubt that all of your favorite protagonists are quite formidable, however I’m sorry to say that I have never watched any of those films…[Read more]

Hey, Your back. Where have you been?

@gracie-j

I, too, think that this classifies as a historical fiction.

And yeah, since it’s a political novel about adults, I think it would be geared more towards adults. Whether the demographic is adult men or women depends on the content of the book rather than the main character. Since most of the books I read are about men, and I know some…[Read more]

Very well put @gracie-j ! I whole heartedly agree. It’s not necessarily the evil in the book that makes it “not Christian” but the light that the evil act is portrayed in. Making sure that the overall message in your story is good and Christ focused and that evil is shown as being indeed evil and has consequences.

@gracie-j

I agree with about the beach! There is nothing like being in the middle of the ocean with deep blue water unfolding in beautiful waves as far as the eye can see. But however as much I like the ocean, I don’t think I’d be able to write there. At least not Florida beaches. In the summer the sand burns your feet and the water boils you…[Read more]

If your story has strong Christian themes, I would consider it a “Christian book”. The typical salvation story, like you mentioned, covers just one Christian theme: salvation through Christ. But that’s not all that the Bible teaches. The Bible teaches you how to live and teaches beauty and truth. If your book also teaches truth and living in a…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

Explain exactly? All right then.

A Crinkle Cookie is a is a baked or cooked food that is typically small, round and sweet. This confection is usually enjoyed around the holidays and it usually contains flour, sugar, and some type of oil or fat. It was invented by Helen Fredell in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Before baking, you lightly roll…[Read more]

So I was trying to get the Kingdom chef to add crinkle cookies to the menu, but he said he wouldn’t be able to add those to the cafe for another three months. 🙁 I guess you will have to wait for those crinkle cookies until sometime in November or December, then.

However, to make up for this, I decided to send some homemade crinkle…[Read more]
