Oh dear me. I’m beginning to think Kate’s an alien. She’s never not green. We need to have a doctor on staff when Tessa’s asleep and I’m not qualified.

Oooooh… wonderful topic! Nice brain stretcher! Okay, let’s see here, bear with me as I try to organize my thoughts.

1. I do not believe that mercy killings are acceptable. Simple enough— I’ll explain, but gimme a moment.
2. I do believe it would be a fantastic story element to challenge any character if it is not glorified.

Now. Why don’t I…[Read more]

@hope and @adry_grace

I think I’d pretty much side with you, Adry. I like to think of moral dilemmas like these in terms of what we do know and what we don’t know. A soldier who is wounded and can’t escape from an oncoming enemy and has information that could endanger thousands of lives if the enemy gets a hold of it knows certain things for…[Read more]

@adry_grace I’ve never been a fan of the “Which do you save the one or the many” questions.

Ah, but this is such a hard question…one you can use to torment characters no matter what your stand on it. The same with mercy killings. I can’t really argue for them because I don’t believe killing is right. And yet, because everyone agreeing doesn…[Read more]

*Yodels to get people’s attention* Anybody up for a writing challenge? I’m aiming till 11:30. Goal of 700 words. Tag me if you’re in.

Oh yes, tag. @hope You’re it.

Thoughts:

For one, 1 Samuel 1:1-16 would lean me against mercy killings since David seems to regard them as no different in consequence. I know this is in the context of “the Lord’s anointed”, but I think the important thing is that David does not make an exception because of the circumstances.

For two, I think that could be fascinating. Moral…[Read more]

Also, your sister is writing much better than I was at her age. My stories were barely a paragraph long.

@the-happy-bookaholic forum shipping…that made me laugh so hard. I know exactly what shipping is… Perfect though. 😉 Absolutely perfect.

Yes, he’s the first character who practically wrote himself. 😉

Sweet. Yeah, I can definitely see why you wanted to enlarge on him… 😉

@hope I can why you needed to enlarge Captain Tor. I like him.

BTW, I had given The Final clash to one of my brothers to see what he thought and a few days ago I heard him reading it to my other younger brother (the one who writes). I think he must really like it.

@Kate-Flournoy No, Captain Tor

@hannah-olsen hey there! Welcome to KP!!!

If you don’t mind my asking, whereabouts in Northern Idaho are you? We can’t be too far away from each other; I’m just a little west of Spokane. 🙂 And wow. Coffee, chocolate, and historical fiction? We’d get along well. 🙂 I’ve been to China, also; 9 years ago (I was 9). We stayed there for 2 weeks while…[Read more]

@bluejay Sounds like you already have it figured out. But just to throw my two cents in, I once knew a cat who could open doors. Literally. Not even kidding.
