Trahia the Minstrel replied to the topic When is it okay to defy the government? in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 3 years ago
I agree with what @elfwing said about respecting the government, but always putting God’s commands first. As far as I understand it (which admittedly may not be much) we are to obey and respect our leaders, but we are not to obey anything which goes against the Bible or what God decrees. Think about the early Christians — they res…[Read more]

Elfwing replied to the topic When is it okay to defy the government? in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 3 years ago
@faith-q So this is personal thoughts, as well as stuff drawn from advice from my awesome dad who’s super good at explaining these things XD I can’t promise my version will be very coherent as I’m exhausted, but here goes XD
Paul said to respect the authority.
Respect and obey are two very, very different things.
The believers were instructed…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic What's a book that hasn't aged well for you? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years ago
That’s kinda funny, because that’s the same opinion Tolkien had on Lewis’s work! Tolkien also didn’t like The Chronicles of Narnia very much because the mythology didn’t make sense.
Although I love The Chronicles of Narnia, I get why it wouldn’t settle right for some people. It does do a lot of crazy things with mythology that might…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Thanks, and that’s a good idea!
@jodi-maile Thank you!
@trahia-the-minstrel That actually is a good idea.
@e-k-seaver There are multiple species of creatures as well as humans in the story, and they each have a different naming system. So that’s why my names are really weird.

Kathleen replied to the topic What’s an unexpected place you got a story idea from? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years ago
Haha, well, it doesn’t really have to be exciting to be unexpected.
Like the amount of times I’ve gotten story ideas out of an unexpected look, laugh, or hello is absurd.
Have you ever gotten an idea for a certain trait for a character from a person you know?
That’s cool. Now you’ll have to credit Evanescence as a co-writer…[Read more]

Keilah H. started the topic Worldbuilding in a dystopian novel in the forum Sci-Fi 3 years ago
Hey everyone! Keilah here. I’m currently worldbuilding on a dystopian/sci-fi/fantasy world, and I’d like your feedback on it!
The premise I have so far (for the first book anyway, I might make it a series):
Torrent Starcatcher has had a hard life.
She was born into a universe in turmoil; the violent dictator Indy has been in control since before…

I can respect those opinions 😉
154 thousand words is the general estimated amount here. Yea, I didn’t realize it was so long. My bro and I were sorta in a “who can read it the fastest and still have the most intelligent things to say despite sleep deprivation” contest. It happens more often than you’d think. Over most of it, I loved…[Read more]

So, I thought it’d be fun to share three of a character’s lines (or however many characters you want to do) that are distinctive to their personalities and could, by themselves, be used to describe your character. Here’s mine:
Character: Catherine Miranda Davis

Hello, everyone! I wanted to ask for some advice about a problem I have with a short story. Right now, I mostly do short stories, but this has been a big problem for me with novels as well.
So, here’s the problem: I’ll usually start a story with a clear idea of the direction it’s taking, the feeling I want the story to have. I’ll follow that…[Read more]

@daisy-torres Awesome!!! Thank you so much!!!!! 🙂 Of course! [ @scripter-of-kingdom @faith-q @godlyfantasy12 ] Some of the authors aren’t on KP, but their stories include spy/sci-fi, sci-fi in general, fantasy, crime, and realistic.
