@jess-penrose Yes–it’s very freeing as an author to know that you can write about meaningful topics in a powerful way in a way that isn’t preachy to the audience. Hold that goal and that anti-goal in mind, and both should be powerful motivators for you to study and master themes!

Sorry I’m late on interacting with you all on this! The KP staff had a work retreat this weekend and I fell behind on keeping up with these…

My biggest recommendation would be to consider the different ways Christians might honestly answer that focusing question in the way they live their lives. While most Christians may know…[Read more]

@jess-penrose Great motives! Sounds like you’ll especially enjoy one of the last lessons in the course on how to write explicitly Christian fiction in particular. Most of the course will focus on how to write meaningful stories from a Christian perspective effectively, but that lesson will particularly focus on writing in the “Christian fiction…[Read more]

Welcome to the site @lifeofkatie! Congrats on being roped in by some of our most enthusiastic forum members. 😉 Haven’t read any Spurgeon yet, but he’s on my list of theologians to read!

Late to the party, but welcome to the site, @jess-penrose! Glad to have you here with us. 🙂

@delightinlife Yep. 🙂 No date set yet, but I believe I’ll plan to reach out to people we want to be on the panel this week and then the panel will probably happen something like two weeks later.

It’s a rather important chapter and I don’t want to mess it up @dragon-snapper

Awesome! I’m excited/nervous for the chapter I’m working on. @dragon-snapper

Imma start working on writing chapter 5 for prison 😉

I like this idea. We do already have a KP flyer, but a smaller version might be nice.

@dragon-snapper Well, I pretty much just stick to editing, but I might work on the next book a bit. That’s probably more of a J thing, but it doesn’t have to be so.

@dragon-snapper Do tell.

@dragon-snapper I’m guessing it’s from Luke Skywalker.

@jess-penrose I’m really late her, but I just wanted to say hi and I’ve enjoyed this thread. 🙂

Hmmm…the only foils I can think of at the moment are Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester. Similar people wanting the same thing (marrying each other, obviously), but he was willing to ignore morals and his conscience to obtain that goal, and she was not. What I like about them is that often times in books, it seems like the foil characters are right and…[Read more]

Okay, so it has come to my attention that my theme is not the Intrinsic Worth of Humanity—otherwise known as Racism, though I really didn’t want to admit that one to myself—but actually God’s Gifts (trying to find a better name, but my mind’s going blank), with a focusing question of What is the most important gift God has given us? Liriel’s…[Read more]
