Another thing that helped me was realizing that Christ was my Janner (minus the sins, selfishness and all of Janner’s mistakes)

Christ gave himself, to undo my brokenness, just as Janner had to undo Kalmar’s and all of the other people’s.

And I want to be a Janner for someone else. Does that make sense? It hurts, but there’s beauty in it.

I’m more at peace today, my mom helped me because she read it. There was beauty in it. It couldn’t be Kalmar, it wouldn’t work. Janner had to grow in order to Sacrifice.

he was selfish throughout the series and he realized that. In realizing it, he was able to succumb to the Maker’s will, and be the Seed that was willing to be p…[Read more]

I finished the series today. Everytime I think of Janner my heart gets depressed….I see the beauty in his sacrifice but I cry every single time. And I know it’ll take a few days to get over but I’m devastated. Definitely gonna read that doc to see if it at least helps some lol

@kathleenramm Hmm not really. He focused on other stuff haha.

*Stormy auplause*

Which was your favorite book? Mine was always the first, but my siblings say that if I actually read (opposed to skimming so fast I miss half the scenes) Ember Falls that’ll change. I doubt it…

@keilah-h

Anyway, my animals are complete animals in clothing that walk on two legs but often run (or lope) on four. I’m still figuring out how exactly armor and weaponry will work with this, but so far I haven’t had any real difficulties.

*waves excitedly* WELCOME TO KINGDOM PEN!!!!!!! *sends welcome goodie basket with chocolate, cookies, and books* SO awesome to see you here!! (Also, this has got to be one of the coolest and unique intro posts I’ve ever seen on KP, so you definitely deserve an award for that. ;P)

@keilah-h

Thank you! I love some of those too, especially when it’s like Green Ember or Mistmantle Chronicles. These are physically just like normal animals here (besides the whole clothes, weapons thing), but are otherwise persons (if not human).

@karissa-chmil

I just reread my response and realized it was pressent tense (English, *sigh*). My Dad went over to Spain for a several months to help a missionary family get settled, like close to twenty-five years ago, so something’s have probably changed. =] I have seen a bunch of pictures though, and seriously, those castles are beautiful.

@thelobsterlover

Hmm, forgiveness character arcs. There aren’t a lot of well written ones that I’ve read, but The Viking Quest, Broken Bow by LaJoyce Martin, and Ben-Hur (although I highly recommend listening to the Focus on the Family audiobook instead of the actual book) were all good. Sir Kendrick and the Battle of Belion, The Green Ember…[Read more]

OoOoOoOOo THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!! I am EXTREMELY stoked for the Reflections released. I just bought my copy of The House That Didn’t End (I know, I know… took me long enough, lol) a couple of weeks ago and CAN NOT wait to dive into it!!!!! I would sign up for an ARC copy but I sadly don’t meet the platform requirements of over 300…[Read more]

Mitchel Kemp was drafted into the military, but he doesn’t want to be here, especially as his father had been killed in combat leaving him his little sister’s legal guardian.

A cream/grey marbled cat, green eyes, wedge shaped face (not unlike a Russian blue’s features), not tall or short or big or small, fur’s not long or short…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

Sounds fun! I’ve never read any dystopian (it tends to be a dark and morbid genre, two things I avoid in literature), but if I ever do I’ll have to look into your book first. Congratulations on The Reflections!

@keilah-h @joy-caroline @elishavet-pidyon

Ooo, y’alls’ characters sound awesome!

(Uh, Elishavet, I was totally seeing William with blond hair blue eyes. The name makes me think Saxon [even though it’s Norman])

So, here is a hopefully brief description of the six main characters for this series (two for each book).

Zlatan (book1); black furred…[Read more]

Hi, and pleased to meet you!

Persuasion is my absolute favorite J. A. novel. Yes, I like it better than Pride and Prejudice. Ann always seemed to me to have a much stronger true character than Elizabeth. I like her other books, but that one…

@scoutfinch180 Interpolation is when your mind fills in the gaps, for example, you read a brief description of a character but a few pages later you already have their face in your mind. It’s pretty cool!

@kathleenramm Hmmm most recently probably comes from my English professor. Probably: “If there’s an upper word count limit then it means that this assignment can be done very well and with quality in this word count or under.” I guess overall, length isn’t everything.

Oh, and there was talk about interpolation and sensory description and…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Thx!! So this one isn’t my Allegorical fantasy fiction but it does have some allegorical elements, such as the Dark One representing the Devil and other things, God is in it, but it’s not based on a Bible story.

but the fantasy world they’re in is the same world my Allegorical Fantasies take place in (almost like how our Bible…[Read more]

@thelobsterlover

Poor Amy! I don’t know why, but every time I think about her artist talent, the foot and plaster incident comes to mind. When I first read LW I was more like Jo, but now I don’t line up with any of them really. *Shrug* Jo’s lines were my favorite part of the book.

Thank you from my former self. She would have been thrilled to…[Read more]

@karissa-chmil

Ooo, that would be awesome! My father has gone overseas as a missionary’s assistant, and I’m heard they’re beautiful.

So, my signature is sort of a joke. Literally translated it means: “I speak English. Glorify God!” (Or thank God as the context here implies).
