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]

@notawriter Thank you! 🙂 I like your art, too. It is very beautiful.

@aislinn-mollisong *tries to think of what a nondescript mynock noise might mean* You’re welcome! I think…. xD

@dekreel Awwwww she’s so adorable!

Hey everyone! Just a head’s up that I’ll be around in about half an hour to do some editing. Anyone want to join me? @jane-maree @dragon-snapper @jenwriter17 @epicaddie2 @dekreel @rochellaine

@aislinn-mollisong Here’s Amber. 🙂

And you too @ingridrd 😀 Here’s Keegan (is that how you spell it?)

Btw
@ariella-newhear I really like your drawing! You seem to have a really good understanding of values. 😀

@dekreel I love how warm all the colors you used feel! <3

@dekreel thanks for tagging me! Sorry I didn’t respond sooner- for some reason I’m not getting notifications anymore. Technology’s great except when it’s not, right? 😛
And that is totally awesome. XD

helloooo! I have returned to the realm of Pen. I’ll be editing in about ten minutes if anyone wishes to join me *brandishes red pen and shouts a war cry*

ooh, let’s tag some peoples. @dekreel @rochellaine @winter-rose @jenwriter17 @dragon-snapper

@dekreel I don’t have anything to add to the many wonderful things said here already, but I’ll just let you know that I struggle with the same thing (doesn’t everyone at some point?) and I’m praying for you!

@jenwriter17  @notawriter  @ariella-newheart @dekreel

I have a character that desperately needs a face.  😉

Her name is Keegan and she is 15 years old.  She has thick dark hair (brown, but almost black) that hangs past the middle of her back.  Her eyes are icy blue and she probably has a smirk or a bossy smile.  Personality: independent, easil…[Read more]

@dekreel It’s so hard to feel like that, sometimes. You pick up your pen, and you want to create things. And then the monsters  come back, your doubts and fears, telling you that you aren’t good enough. That there’s no hope.

And suddenly, you’re paralyzed by fear. Comparing yourself to other writers can be amazingly painful. Know that God is…[Read more]

Hey! I’m reading my history book again. Anyone on?

@dekreel @dragon-snapper @sam-kowal @claire-c @jane-maree @skredder @rochellaine @warrenluther04 @ingridrd

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]

First of all, y’all are awesome. This helped me too.

@dekreel don’t let fear stop you. God gave you a gift that He wants to work through but He can’t use it if you set it on a shelf and let it get dusty. So write no matter how bad it is or how different it is. Just because your writing voice isn’t like everyone else’s doesn’t make it bad. Don’t…[Read more]

@ann-of-lothlorien that. is. so. accurate. hilarious! 😉

@dekreel that is sooo funny! That last one of Josiah kinda made me laugh and lean away at the same time. 🙂

@dekreel I feel so sad that you’re feeling this way. I used to feel the same way. What I was gonna say is basically what dragon-snapper said. Our identity is in Christ, not our writing. If God gave you a passion to write, then write. If you’re not looking to get published, then write however you want. Just give it your all, and nobody can ask more…[Read more]

@dekreel Amen, sister.

I wonder when I’ll stop doing that. Because I’m always doing it. Sometimes, I make myself higher than others, and sometimes I have to bury my head in a pillow.

*instead of petting you, offers you a non-melted chair*

Just remember, that God made you unique, special and loved. Writing does not become your identity. It’s…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong
Wow… that is a hard life. 😛 One of my characters used to be like that… no wait, there still are some.

(Of course! Once I edit those, but I’ll probably want people who’ve already read the first book. @dekreel You too)

Hi, @dekreel

We can definitely relate!

Haley and I shot a video that hopefully should provide some encouragement, and help you finally kick that comparitis and self-doubt to the curb!

How to stop doubting your ability to write, and finally stop comparing yourself to other writers.
