@Mark-Kamibaya Excellent article. I especially found the definitions of the two antiheroes helpful. I’m going to have to go think about this some more. The one critique I have at the moment is that your statement about how in the past antiheroes were found repulsive seemed unsubstantiated.

Hi everyone! I just got back. 😀 On the plane I memorized Luke 7:36-50. And @emma-flournoy, I remembered to salute you every time I got on the plane!

@his-instrument I’m obviously from Ohio. 😀

@that_writer_girl_99 hi! Welcome to Kingdom Pen! I’m pretty new myself. 😀 What are your favorite books? What do you like to write?

Welcome to the site @that_writer_girl_99! Have you read Batson’s Sword in the Stars series? That’s my favorite series he’s done and, in my opinion, probably one of the best works of Christian fantasy out there. What type of science-fiction do you like to write?

@that_writer_girl_99 Sure, so is the question how to plot, or something else?

@aratrea Speaking of books and themes, have you read The Ball and the Cross by G. K. Chesterton? I started rereading it part way through this course and the theme…! Every single conversation and interaction all relate back to the theme and focusing question and experiments in living. I love the story and the philosophical arguments and all, but…[Read more]

That’s great to hear. 🙂 I will be sure to let you know if there’s anything else you can do to help us out on that front! Putting these principles into practice in your writing is a great first step to take. Have you thought much about which resources you may want to use when you want to study this topic more?

@audrey-caylin That’s awesome–glad to hear you enjoyed it so much!

Yeah–that’s definitely a real challenge. And I would tentatively agree that some of it has to do with the individual reader. However, I think when you look at stories like Brothers Karamazov, Speaker for the Dead (written by a Mormon, not a Christian, but it portrays believers…[Read more]

@audrey-caylin Sounds like a plan. I like using one major theme for a whole series. How would you say that the theme of truth interacts with the theme of forgiveness in this book?

What @audrey-caylin said. 😀 Incorporate all I’ve learned into my future novels.

I also want to study the books I read and movies I watch to practice figuring out themes and experiments in living. Basically, lots of practice on the writing end, lots of analyzing on the reading end. And occasionally rewatching a course video.

This seriously is…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 Howdy! Or, “Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet” as we like to say.

@dragon-snapper @jane-maree I’ll join you till nine!

@dragon-snapper 😛 Well, things don’t look terrible, they just don’t look amazing either.

@emma-flournoy Thank you. *hands you cheesecake*

@northener That’s a great point. Also talking about death is one of the best ways of talking about life. This kind of detective story is a great place to get into deep things.

@dragon-snapper Nah. Too much work. I’ll just officially make you the doctor.

@Daeus *grins* Got it.
