What is this kingdom pen speak you speak of? xP
So, is your current WIP about?

*pokes topic* this needs to be awakened.

In no order, favorite novels.

That’s a healthy place to be writing from, both of you- understanding the other viewpoint and your own convictions both is of paramount importance, and I do see both of your points. I agree with both of them, in temperance.
At this point I feel I don’t really have anything to add on in this debate that wouldn’t be redundant or just further…[Read more]

Okay, I’ll look at this in the morning. I’m posting here so I don’t forget. 🙂

That was so beautiful and that made me happy to read and a tad bit inspired

Good point Rosey.

Oh, other thing. I’m not trying to erase the negative connotations about them. I’m just asking that they be used correctly if at all.

Well, is everything relative? Nope.
I think here’s the thing.
Knowing what is the right thing to do and doing it is different. You may know that something is wrong, and you may still want to write it in a positive light. Now that you have that speck of knowledge placed in you, you can’t just flick it out and pretend it’s not there. Maybe heart…[Read more]

@ezra- oh stahp.
actually no dun stahp yes thank you for appreciating my intellecjewelity there i thought that was purty good maself xP

Going off of what Daniel just said-

Firstly, I think this is an issue of ‘what should christians write in general’ not merely just zombies or vampires.
When you put it that way, it’s a bit of an ‘am i my brother’s keeper’ thing, to a small extent. Just because we have the right and ability to write something, should we? That’s the question of…[Read more]

HIIIIII
welcome. *sticks out hand* I’m Emma and I’m late to everything and I like to write stuffs

Yes, people getting knocked out is a too casually and cheaply used occurrence in books. With taste, it’s great. But they just tend to be a way to get out of situations, rather than a realistic occurrence.

random thing: TINTIN THE MOVIE THOUGH

What authors’ style of descriptions do you all appreciate or dislike?

Depends in what light you (the author, not the character) are depicting it.

A perfect protagonist and a perfect person are different.

Perfect characters are rather unlikable. What I consider a good protagonist is one that is far from perfect. Flaws can be relatable. Flaws can show human nature.Flaws can be endearing. Flaws can show God’s hand at work. Flaws can show a character arc towards improvement. Flaws can…[Read more]
