oh my word

that’s all I have to say. xD

I’ve read chapter 1 and 2 now and agh yes. Something we can all learn from Ruth is that she’s such a hard worker. And a cheerful one.

Also, Boaz was so in love with her from the very first moment and I am totally shipping these two. XD

@dekreel Classic.

@jenwriter17 Yeah. I think it’s the “Worst Allegory Ever” video.

@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.

I totally forgot about this temporarily but I WILL RETURN LATER. xD

Hello. I come bearing a mind normally full of Star Wars stories…however, I’ve none about me today. I’ll come back if I get some.

Though, I will say, rewatching the movies (particularly the Force Awakens) seems to jog plenty of memories for me? You might try that.

Hello there! Welcome to the forum! @slylilhuntress

I love your username. It’s so cute!

@slylilhuntress Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!

Besides Lewis and Tolkien, what other writers inspire you?

@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.

@Jenwriter17 this is a brilliant idea! I’ll definitely join in. 😀

@itisastarrynight Thank you!

@Dekreel Yeah, I was just gonna throw those out there and hope you wouldn’t notice… 😏 Oh well. You noticed. They’re the basic equivalent of Pixar, so I just count them in there for sanity’s sake.

HOWEVER, after looking over that list, I noticed a very important something that, for some unknown reason, completely slipped my mind.

UP.

@ethryndal Looks like you’ve already gotten some great answers here! In my opinion, this is natural. When I started writing my current novel, I thought my primary theme was anger with a focusing question of “How should you deal with your anger?”, but during drafts and revisions, the primary theme ended up morphing into moral principles with a…[Read more]

@Dekreel AHA!! Excellent choices. I have a really hard time with this kind of thing, because their honestly all so amazing. I think I gotta go with…

I DUNNO. Probably a mix of Zootopia, Big Hero 6, and Tangled. Zootopia appeases the intellectual side of my brain that loves a good, smart mystery,…[Read more]

@Emma-Flournoy Thank you, Lord Sopespian. Your compassion is a boon in this troubled time.
