Thanks Bluejay!
By the way, I’m so glad you recognize that “bestistest” is a word. :

‘I hammered into Google
‘Christian writing teens’;
It brought me to this awesome site—
The website of my dreams.

Excitedly I clicked the link,
And had a look around.
I eagerly perused the forum
And squealed at what I found.

I made myself a member
Without a second thought
Sometimes that ends in trouble
But this time it did not…’

First we ate ic…[Read more]

Ha! I just read my first chapter and my last chapter. *choke, cough, laugh* Yeah, I’ve come a long way.

Hello @his-instrument
Welcome to the bestistest place on earth. *Yay, I’m first. Sorry a bit of a competition to be the first to say that*
All I can write are short stories. Novels are too long for me. I’m not sure I have any hints other than read lots of short stories to get an idea on how to fit a long plot into few words. 🙂
Anyway WELCOME.

Hi Hope Ann!
I love allegory, and I totally understand what you mean– I often struggle to portray the Holy Spirit in allegory as well. I like the idea of a wind and a voice, or maybe even just a voice, accompanied by a tangible, but not visible, presence. (For further inspiration on this idea you might want to look at 1 Kings 19, when Elijah is…[Read more]

@hope. Thanks. I might try that. They really do taste just perfect by themselves though. I normally blend my frozen strawberries with milk and maple syrup. *sneaky little laughter* Goooood

@kate-flournoy. That’s awesome that your editing is coming along so well. I know with my novella I felt much better about it after I edited it, and that was just the first round. It’s comforting I can give it a third or a fourth round or even more until I’m satisfied. I find that as long as I haven’t been to engrossed in my story recently, with…[Read more]

Congratulations @Daeus! It feels so wonderful getting a novel done. Also, I highly recommend throwing some of those raspberries in a vita-mix with yogurt and grinding it up into a frozen fruit shake. I’ve tried it with strawberries and it is delicious!

I’m like wow. This is over. That’s awesome. That’s terrible. Wait, it’s not over. I’ll probably be editing for months now.

Hahaha @Daeus that was exactly my reaction when I finished my latest. 😀

Wow, so you like plotting? That’s an enormous plus… I’m kinda bad at that myself. Characters are definitely the highlight for me. And daydreami…[Read more]

What was my favorite part? Why the hard questions?! Well, probably plotting, because plotting is a strong point for me and it’s really neat whenever I make a big breakthrough there. And then there’s writing the…[Read more]

@Daeus Awesome!!! Congratulations! That is quite an accomplishment. 😀

@Daeus CONGRATULATIONS!!!! *throws rainbow-colored confetti, screams with excitement*
I know that thrill very well. 😀

Careful. You might turn into a frozen raspberry yourself if you eat that much.

So what did you most enjoy about this experience— your first full novel, wasn’t it?
