Faith Kindred

@daeus Congratulations! You can send me a copy, and once it’s up on Amazon, I’ll post a review. And then I’ll probably purchase a copy too. 🙂

Oh, btw, siblings are invited too.

@his-instrument I’m tagging you because you wanted me to let you know when I launched this.

@gideon-sowdon Great! You’ll just want to tweak your focusing question for Beyond the mask since you want the message to be able to answer that question directly. So, like:

Focusing question: How can one find a new identity after a dark past?
Message: Only through Christ can we truly change.

@perfectfifths Sure. So if you’d like to read it, you can just contact me through here and I’ll send you a pdf copy via email. When the book is out, I would then contact you and so you could post your review on amazon.

@Mark-Kamibaya great. 🙂

@audrey-caylin Cool. I signed up.

@kate-flournoy That makes sense. That is a tricky path to weave. Haha, didn’t realize there was another book that came before this one! But that’s a good way of setting up theme for a series.

I want to know the answer to this myself. If @reaganramm isn’t too busy, I bet he’d have some pointers.

@audrey-caylin I’d be interested. 🙂 To be honest though, I’m not sure I could finish it in a month. I probably wouldn’t be done with it until about May 1st. If that’s ok with you though, or if you’re fine with only getting feedback on the first half, you can count me in. (There is also a chance I could get it done in time.)

@GracieGirl I know I’m late in saying this but… Welcome! Really glad you could join us “crazies” here :p
I really like David Nevue’s music! His “Overcome” has always been my favorite. It’s the only piano piece I’ve been able to retain in my memory long term 🙂 Do you play his pieces or just listen?

@GabrielleMassman Why hello! I am very late to this party! But I had to stop by and welcome you to the forum! Welcome!
Yes, time management, a very tricky thing to balance! What is it that you’re studying at the Christian college you attend?

@hope Ah, that would make more sense as a trilogy. Ok, good to know.

@daeus Yes, something like that. The second half of the disillusionment arc is really the first part of her positive arc (because who would ever decide to start simple when branching from a single book to a trilogy *glares at self*). And yes, her trying to save everyone is an outward manifestation of what she is working through inwardly.

@Aratrea thanks. 🙂 It definitely still needs work, but thanks.

Good point— I’ll watch out for that, definitely.
I don’t want the book ending on a completely sour note— the resolution of Harold’s arc is pretty sour, but as this is the second book of a series, I need it to end with a question that leads into the other books— and that is, sin…[Read more]

@jenali I completely agree! Those types of stories are my absolute favorites, and are a great example of theme making a lasting impact on a reader. Can’t believe I never mentioned that aspect in the video! Great thoughts.

@shaina I completely agree! Those types of stories are my absolute favorites, and are a great example of theme making a lasting impact on a reader. Can’t believe I never mentioned that aspect in the video! Great thoughts.

One other thought as I’ve continued to think about the Denholm ending is that you probably want Harold to decide to resist Eldred’s arguments even after everything seems against him so that he then gets rewarded for the right choice by Denholm coming in. Otherwise, if Harold has completely succumbed to Eldred’s arguments, Denholm’s entrance may…[Read more]
