I love this idea! I’m not sure I’d be able to participate every time, but I’ll try. Content-wise, I’m okay with most magic (I’ve read Harry Potter), I’m okay with some swearing in a book (i just say something different in my mind or skip over it) but of course there’s a limit, and on the romance side of things, I’m okay with reading ki…[Read more]

@stephie

About Anne with an E, that’s horrible. Like, can’t you just keep the story for what it is instead of twisting it to fit the status quo?? I severely doubt L. M. Montgomery would ever want to give off a message like that. But that’s why we need to keep spreading the light of Christ through our stories, to show people the Truth. <3

@y’all

For those of you who replied to the article I shared, I read your posts, I just don’t have the brain power rn to respond to each individually. XD But yes, I totally agree!! We need a balance of darker and lighter stories to meet readers where they’re at in life and give them what they need.

@keilah-h @princesachronicle22 I’m sorry I haven’t RPed in so longgg!! But I’ll be able to write the next RP tomorrow.

@magicalstories0611

I love this so much!! Characters are my favorite ✨

@princesachronicle22

Wait! So, when God said to be fruitful and multiply, he wasn’t only talking to the berry bushes and mathematicians?! 😋  Very well answered.

An idea for your story. Instead of your love interest being the gladiator, have him be a surgeon/medtech of the gladiators. A gladiator could “like” your main charie, and she thinks…[Read more]

Salivations Trivial Highlyness, The Duckytator, Supreme Dictator of All Duckies and Loathsome Foe of All Delicious Fried Ducky Consumers 🍗,

Unfortunately, we still haven’t heard that title, especially the last part. (I only read it 😸)

Also, we are extremely disgruntled, irked, and vexed by thy blatantly disgracious refusal to not smooch our…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Why, thank you!

@highscribeofaetherium

One word.  I is insane.

@princesachronicle22

Probably both! 😜

And now I shall take Bible verses out of context to prove my point. 👨‍⚖️

Deu 7:3 KJV Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.

Jdg 14:16-17 EasyEnglish 16 Then Samson’s wife started to cry. She threw herself at…[Read more]

@grcr

Thank you!! 😊😄

@everyone

Ok guys, you have to check out this article.

It’s a guest post on @gracie-j ’s blog and it’s really good!! It kinda has to do with what we’re talking about… sort of… okay, I don’t know, but it’s really good anyway and y’all should read it! XD

@whalekeeper

Right! You have similar themes, you just don’t press into the theme as directly.

Yeah, that’s a good way to put it.

@freed_and_redeemed

Now I feel like I probably write more emotion than most of y’all here😂

Which is not a bad thing! You write them really well 😊 And I feel like your books, at least what I’ve read of them, focus m…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed @loopylin @whalekeeper @trailblazer

Y’all have made some really good points!! I like hearing all your thoughts on this topic. I honestly feel like there’s not a one-size-fits-all answer to the topics of preachiness and theme. They differ for each genre, each story, each author, and each plan God has for the authors and the…[Read more]

@loopylin Ack, don’t apologize! I didn’t really read all of your message when I posted, haha, so don’t feel bad at all <3

I actually love what you said…you put it in a very good and compassionate and understanding way, and I appreciate that💖

@loopy @whalekeeper

I’ve had a lot on my mind lately, and I’m trying to figure some things out in life…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I have not denounced Marvel, lol, I am just not watching/writing it as much as I once did as I have more of a passion/need for the things of God <3

That clears up a couple things.

Ok, here’s where I need to clear something up: what I meant by what I said is that it IS being ashamed of the Gospel if you don’t include the truth of…[Read more]

and writing is not essential to anyone’s walk with God. Let’s make that clear that we should all agree with that.

@whalekeeper @esther-c

I wholly agree with @trailblazer on this one.

Writing can be serious at times and fun at others. But I don’t agree that our writing should just be to “entertain” others.

Yes, people should like it and have fun with it, but if our writing is just for showing a small lesson and “entertainment”, I think we have a few things…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 Girl, pls never worry about your writing being preachy.

Speaking God’s truth is more important than what people will think. I think your stories are beautiful, and with how lovable your characters are, I wouldn’t worry about it one bit.

You do what you feel led to do, regardless of what everyone else thinks…their opinion…[Read more]
