Faith Kindred

@Dekreel too many ideas and getting too excited and determined about finishing them all and saving the world by Thursday, Friday at the latest. 😛

Here’s an *awful* one I wrote for a novella I’ve started…

Finnegan “the Mistake” Lane has learned to expect the insults and bullying from his own sister—and in some cases, his parents.  What he doesn’t expect is to get kicked out of the house and sent to live with a crazy aunt he doesn’t know whose home people are afraid to set foot in.

@dekreel  My w-weaknesses as a writer?  *pulls out 100-foot-long list*  Let’s see here.

I care too much about what other people think.  I have a tendency to view myself as not good enough in relation to writing.

@xonos-darkgrate I basically side with @kate-flournoy, though I don’t think that swear words cannot ever ever be used.

We had a discussion on this before you might want to read. https://kingdompen.org/forums/topic/coarse-language/

Basically, my position is that you should try as hard as you can not to use any swear words and that the majority o…[Read more]

@winter-rose I am so thrilled for you!!! And overjoyed that you’ll be writing more. And proud of you for taking this scary step. And I can’t wait to see where God takes you. And I’ll be praying for you. 🙂

Much excitement for you!!!

*stares at topic* I swear this thing is rearranging itself as we speak. My reply is now below your post. I have no idea what’s going on. XD

@Winter-rose something odd happened and your post wasn’t here when I got the notification, so my reply is above your post and I accidentally tagged Hannah… 😛 *winces* sorry…

Anyway… THAT’S SO AWESOME!! *tackle hugs* Definitely be praying.

@winter-rose Do I ever feel for you. Quitting the standard, laid out path to go write has got to be one of the most disorienting, frustrating, wonderful things ever.

I have no idea what it will be like for you, but I do know that.
1. God is faithful
2. Writing is awesome
3. You’ll never be the same

Have a cookie 🍪 😀

@winter-rose  Praying that God will continue to guide you…!  🙂

@Xonos-darkgrate ooh, yeah. That’s tougher. I think it could still be done though… ‘I swore silently,’ or ‘Easily half a dozen rather ungentlemanly words jumped to my lips and I just barely bit them back’. It depends a lot on his voice, of course, but I believe it’s possible.

@salome01w4g THAT’S SO AWESOME!! *tackle hugs* Definitely be praying. 😀 😀 😀

@Xonos-darkgrate ah, classic question. 😀

I’m definitely not a fan of sanitizing everything to the point of complete squeaky-cleanness, because it’s dishonest.

That said, I think swearing is unnecessary to say the least. It’s different than other ‘content’ for one. Say, for instance, one of your characters is a harlot. Pretty dark, right? But…[Read more]

@mariposa  That’s fantastic!  *stares in awe*

@inkling-for-christ  First off, great job!  And congratulations on being brave enough to want feedback.  Now for my suggestions…*rubs hands together*

Okay, this may come as a shock to you, but my first thought was “delete the entire first chapter”.  It seems sort of unnecessary and a lot of it just dumps info instead of showing.  (Sorry, tryi…[Read more]

@salome01w4g  YESSS!!!!  Praise the Lord!

@salome01w4g Yay!!!!!

@dragon-snapper  Not too shabby, my friend.  😉  In other words, it’s really good.  I loooove the collage.  Nice work.  *high five*

@perfectfifths   The Fellowship of the Ring…I think Pippin says it.  😉

@salome01w4g  That’s rough…praying for you, friend!
