@kate-flournoy @daeus
Thank you so much for your excellent thoughts! I agree that God is definitely powerful enough to save lives even when we think our honesty might ruin everything.
The only thing that’s still tripping me up is the difference between lying and deception. Even outside the context of my own story, this question perplexes me. I…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Fantastic–sounds like a solid length right there with plenty of room to expand if needed. 🙂

@His-Instrument excellent example. I’ll just point back to what I said in my first post about consequences for every action, good and bad. Did Jean Valjean save Cosette’s life by assuming a name (and history) that was not his own? Possibly. Very probably.

This will be so nice! Thank you @rolena-hatfield

@dragon-snapper YASSSS!!! 😀 Congrats! What’s the finished word count?

@That_Writer_Girl_99 which one?

@dragon-snapper

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! A thousand congratulations! (And lots of confetti…)

@Allison-Grace *sniffs* They already said it all.
I’ll just second what @Daeus said; you can have as many themes as you think will work, so long as they’re all related and complement each other. For instance, if your primary theme is honesty, your supporting themes could be telling the truth in love and/or telling the truth even when it’s ugly.…[Read more]

@allison-grace Absolutely. This is something we cover in our Theme Mastery course.

The one thing you need to understand is that 98% of the time, one of your themes will the the primary theme. You can have other themes that are very very important to your story, but generally these themes will be “supporting” themes to the main theme.

So I…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper *inserts confetti bomb*

@Ethryndal definitely.

@Dragon-Snapper *high fives* GO FORTH AND CONQUER, FELLOW DRAGON. *FIERCE BABY DRAGON EYES*

@Catwing love it! 😀
