@anne-of-lothlorien Ouch. 🙁 Will pray.

@anne-of-lothlorien @salome01w4g @catwing @dekreel Thank you so much for your prayer and encouragement. I’m still struggling with it, but ever since I made that post, it’s been a lot better. God is good. 🙂

@seekjustice Dystopian retellings of classics? That’s so cool!

What do you know? I get a short space of free time and I use it to rant about myself.

This is actually refreshing. Writing a book is a long process and this reminds me of the vision that keeps me going.

I’m writing a fantasy quest trilogy with the basic premise that the villain has obtained a magic object that he can use to escape from his…[Read more]

This is quite the wonder world. 😂

Hi friends,

I wanted to ask for prayer because I’m kinda going through some depression at the moment. It’s not like I ever feel this deep despair or anything, but I have this constant sinking feeling that’s just enough to distract me. And it does distract me. I’m constantly evaluating myself in every area and some of it’s good, like when I worry…[Read more]

Hi @spradlin! Ghosts are cool.

@gh24682468999 It doesn’t sound too complicated. I can’t just take this limited information and guarantee it will work, but I think it can. One question: what’s the antagonistic force in this novel?

@dekreel These keep getting better and better.

@slylilhuntress Read Brandon Sanderson (crazy amazing fantasy author). Also, Cry The Beloved Country (not fantasy, but very deep and heartfelt. The best Christian novel I’ve ever read). Oh, and read Dreamlander too! It’s amazing.

Oh, drat. Kate just stole my secret fire. 🙁

@joy

Fantasy, more than any other genre, is about the past, so the most important thing to nail down is the past history of your story world. Allegorical aspects are good to nail down early too if you want to have them. If you’re going to have magic, nail that down early. Oh, and nail down a map of all the lands included in your story, so you…[Read more]

@slylilhuntress Ha! I’m reading The Green Ember Series right now too. Andrew Peterson’s great, though I have to sheepishly admit I haven’t read Dekker yet.

@slylilhuntress Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!

Besides Lewis and Tolkien, what other writers inspire you?

*characters

@kaya-young A piece from your writing would be helpful. Also, I’ve found that when character’s aren’t coming across well, it’s because I don’t have a consistent mental image of them. The different mental images make them act like ten people mixed into one which ends up as chaos.

@dekreel I love it!!! Now I want to go on a GIF hunt. 😉

@ethryndal Well, I’m not totally sure. 😛

I can try to help though.

First of all, those themes do seem very interconnected and I believe they can all coexist at once. Humans are depraved so when they ask what gives them worth their fallen nature says it is their strength. In the search for strength, they become racist. I could see this all…[Read more]

@valtmy I know this uncertainty. You can be sure that you’ll be in my prayers.
