@Daeus I’ll have you know I was racing to get that typed out before you posted and said all my stuff for me. XD

No, good points though. Maps are important… I have them… in my head… XD Allegorical and historical elements too. Oooh ooh, in fact @Joy, I actually have a cool thing for you. Four ‘pillars’ for you to figure out, that’ll give you…[Read more]

@daeus No way! I found out he was offering them for free on Kindle, so I thought “Why not? I’ve got nothing to lose!” Yeah, Dekker can be a little intense, but ultimately, all of his books point to Jesus! If you don’t mind stories that can be dark at times, but always offer hope, then give him a try. I would have to suggest The Circle…[Read more]

@daeus

Oh! Almost forgot to mention that I’m reading S.D. Smith’s The Green Ember series right now. It is pretty cool!

@daeus I absolutely adore the work of Andrew Peterson, but I also love Ted Dekker’s books. I find it interesting how Peterson was able to create a world that feels real, yet so magical at the same time. Dekker does an amazing job at combining aspects of the “real world” and the fantasy ones.

Ok, thanks @rochellaine ! That’s something I really hadn’t thought about before @daeus said it, and I do see where that would be helpful.

@kaya-young I didn’t really see anything you did badly in the passages you have there, but I do like what @daeus said about defining your characters.

Each character should have a slightly different voice.  So, whereas one person says “I don’t know,” maybe the second person doesn’t like contractions, and says “I do not know.”  (I have a sister w…[Read more]

@dekreel   @jenwriter17  @notawriter  @daeus Ok, so here goes… I honestly am not sure what exactly is wrong with my dialogue, it just seems off. Without further hesitation, I present to you some of my conversations:

“You did a really good job with your prayer! Who wrote it again? Daisy paused, her hand hovering over a box of tea boasting a choc…[Read more]

@Daeus That’s actually really interesting. I don’t think I ever considered how inter-related they all were, but now that you point it out, I’m starting to see the bigger picture of my story and theme as a whole. Because it seems to me like The Depravity of Humankind really is the core, with everything else siphoning off as more individualized…[Read more]

@pickupyourpenandwrite This is a great topic! I see no one’s commented on it in several days, but I thought I’d pick it up again and tag s’more people so they know this is here 😉 @jane-maree @dekreel  @daeus @aratrea @the-real-kapeefer @warrenluther04 @seekjustice @claire-c

I write because 1) I just love to! I couldn’t not write 2) I want to he…[Read more]

@salome01w4g I just remembered that you said I could consider myself tagged. 😀  Hooray!  See if you like this poem for your topic of

Boxes, Foxes, and Rocks

In the land of Gerinoxes
There are many, many boxes
And they all are filled with foxes
And they’re set on rocks

One of the great paradoxes
Is that foxes don’t like boxes
But the boxes l…[Read more]

The GIF-hiders: An Easter Story

Part Three: The Flight to the Castle

That afternoon, Jenna opened the door of her house to a whooshing noise just outside, and she gasped at the sight of a sleek, dark red dragon, peering at her silently with yellow eyes.

Jenna’s mouth couldn’t help but fall open, even after hours of mental preparation. But now…[Read more]

I guess this is where we post prayer requests? correct me if I’m wrong……

So I wanted to request prayer for my mom. She’s been dealing with some random little problems lately (like pains in several area, etc.) and she actually went to the doctor today about a soft bump on her lower ribcage. the doctor said it’s a fatty tumor. not serious, but…[Read more]

Thanks, @daeus!

You know what? Funny thing happened today. I was actually thinking about trying to write this part, when lo and behold, the book my mom was reading to us (Prince Warriors) (awesome) had a scene where the kids were taught how to use their swords! So I have a rough idea of what the scene should look like.

Helloooo! First of all, I’ve still been flailing about The Last Jedi *flails and squeals* We watched it in the theater with friends and (like I do every single time in the movie theater) I drank too much soda and knew i had to go to the restroom. But there was so much going on in the movieeeee!!!!!!! I clamped my hands on the arm rests to keep…[Read more]

^ I concur. @daeus

@emma-flournoy Oooh cheesecake! ^o^/ Yummy.

Wow. Guys, I am literally tearing up  X’)

@jane-maree

God doesn’t make mistakes.

So true. It’s easy to take for granted how we’re all masterpieces. Thank you for the reminder!

@that_writer_girl_99

As I was reading your reply, I started praying “Thy will be done.” I shouldn’t expect myself to be something. Who says God will make everything “r…[Read more]
