@bethanysinkyroses Ah, yes. That is what I was trying to get to.
All of this is perfectly doable, but you need to approach it from the right mindset.
What you need to understand is the difference between a wish and a goal. A goal is proactive. A wish is passive.
A wish is like this: “I really don’t want to talk to anyone on the phone.” *cries…[Read more]

Thanks, @daeus I actually just listened to your lesson on conflict two days ago, and so the added insight was helpful!
If I’m showing her thought process, and then how she acts, and how she changes, is that sufficient “conflict” (I’ll use quotes to show I’m not discussing warfare) for a book of this genre?For example, the first part to my…[Read more]

@bethanysinkyroses I agree. I tend to have to learn things myself before I get them. *sigh*
That’s a neat insight. I need to read 1 Peter again.

@bethanysinkyroses I’m a strong believer that a skilled writer can make almost anything exciting. You do need conflict to create an interesting story, but conflict doesn’t have to be what you might think it is. Conflict is not actually the same as people fighting (verbally or physically). I’ve encountered plenty of physical or other forms of…[Read more]

That was fast! It’s easy to see you believe in the cause of the Kingdom! @daeus
I’m currently studying holiness in the book of 1 Peter. Something really eye-opening for me was discovering that grace to obey comes as we obey. We don’t wait around till we feel Christ-like, but obey right now, with the faith that God will work. I really desire…[Read more]

Hello fellow scribblers.
I had an idea for a slice-of-life story about a young shy girl’s struggle with making friends, and her ups and downs in her walk with the Lord. My question is: will a story of that nature actually interest people, and will it have enough conflict?
What are some pitfalls I need to avoid with slice-of-life? Any tips are welcome. -

Hello KPers! I joined the forum a few weeks ago and haven’t yet introduced myself. But…I can remedy that, right?
I’m a young lady who loves Jesus, (ask me why if you like~I love talking about Him!) the forest, writing, and my family. I spend a lot of time playing our piano (who is named Elizabeth, just because naming things makes them more…[Read more] -

@Winter-Rose poor guy… *hugs him* Seriously though, you did great. First person pov is not one of my strong points and can be very easy to do typically, but you did great with it. Thanks for sharing. 😀

@That_Writer_Girl_99 could you give me the link to the doc again? Mine is doing weird things.
That sounds like a great solution. Good job. I notice you’re thinking in wider perspectives now— purposefully using the interactions to develop or manipulate. *wiggles eyebrows* Excellent work, my young padawan. 😉
