That’s really weird!

The only time I’ve had that happen is when I leave the tab with my drafted response open too long. Could that be it? Probably not, though, if you’ve tried doing it all different ways

Lemme tag @kathleenramm, I think she’d be better at helping you out here 😉

@godly-fantasy12,

WOAH.

THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.

Seriously, that was great writing. Now I wanna read more!

@unsung

Goodness, the forum has been blowing up lately!! Just now getting around to replying to you XD

Ooh, I love Honey Vanilla Chamomile!! Such a soothing flavor.

Hm, never hear of Matthew West before!! But I know Peter Hollens, I listened to a few of his songs. He’s got some serious talent; it’s hard to believe that his songs are ALL voice…[Read more]

@denali-christianson,

I’ve only skimmed what other people have said, but I do agree with them for the most part. If you feel like your character needs to be white, that’s totally fine. Don’t push anything on your characters that feels unnatural; trust me, I’ve tried it. Just go with the flow and what feels right for your story.

That being said,…[Read more]

Hi Elishavet,

All that was soooo helpful!! Especially the LOTR example! I like how you asked different questions and how it becomes the readers turn to ask or respond to those questions. I’m definitely going to contemplate that more! I think I’m getting the hang of the whole theme thing now!
I appreciate your help!!!!!!

@kathleenramm
Hi Kathleen,

Wow! Thank you that was all so helpful!!

Okay, so I guess the ‘main theme’ would be struggling to build a new identity for herself. She has to choose who she wants to define her, whether that be living the life in high society or embracing the anew life in Christ with fellow Catholics. So family, belonging, hap…[Read more]

@issawriter7
Hi Issabelle!
Thank you for your advice! Yes, That’s pretty much the theme. Finding where you truly belong and building a new identity is more what I’m aiming for.

So with what you said, then I think finding family is one of her goals that branches out from the main theme. One of the few messages would be “Family doesn’t necessa…[Read more]

@unsung You’re welcome!!!

Aww THANK YOU!!!! I love yours as well!!!

Hello @unsung welcome to the Kingdom!!!! *waves* We’re SO thrilled to have you here!!! I’m Issabelle, but feel free to call me Is or Issa or any other nickname you come up with – it’s much quicker to spell, lol. And fantasy is one of the best genres ever!! *high fives*

@maryg3 Hey, Mary!! From what I’ve gathered about the bit you shared, it seems your book’s overarching main focal theme is about finding your place in life. (Did I get it right? 😂) So for my personal opinion, I think it’s really great to have more than one message in a story!!! I mean, we as people are so complex and learn so many different…[Read more]

@power Whoa, that poem was AMAZING and really touching!! I loved it! THANK YOU for sharing it with us!! It reminded me of the lyrics from TobyMac’s song Scars. “It doesn’t matter who you are, this world goin’ leave some battle scars.”

@godlyfantasy12

This might not be the best advice by a long shot, but you seem like you’re REALLY in love with the idea of bringing them back. Like I can just feel how much you love this idea and your excitement to write it. And I guess for me, that’s the best reason to follow through with the idea! It’s your story at the end of the day, and if…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

AAAAH IT’S SO AWESOME TO SEE YOU HERE DENALI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *waves*  AND YES I HAVE FINALLY FOUND ANOTHER WHO SHARES MY OBSESSIVE LOVE OF MEDIEAVAL WEAPONRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *high fives*

@denali-christianson

YES, the Silmarillion is awesome!! We needed this thread!

It’s been a whileee since I read it last, so let’s see how much I remember XD

Hmmm… one of my favorite parts is the beginning when all the Valar are introduced (I’m not even sure if I spelled that right). It lays such a cool foundation for the rest of the book! B…[Read more]
