Faith Kindred

Actually my latest knitting project is one my mom started when she was about sixteen, then gave to me to finish a long time later. It’s a scarf. Gulp. I still haven’t finished it. But I am crocheting an afghan that will probably be finished before I turn one hundred. It’s red and brown and green, and done in a ripple pattern.

Haha, definitely. Thanks! 😉

Huh, cool! That’s really neat! and now I’ve published books under the Mucklestone name, so even when I get married I can keep my name in the publishing world! 😛

Hm… dare I suppose you are thinking specifically of Archie Kennedy?
I think a good way to throw off the reader and not have them guess is to strongly foreshadow that the character is going to die. Then the reader is expecting it when it happens, and is maybe not quite so shocked and devastated, but it will be a very real, heavy, and right…[Read more]

I’ll be on the lookout for references, and explain them to the unenlightened in the audience so you don’t have to. 😀 It’s never good to have to explain your own jokes, is it? 😀 😛
Yes, I can definitely see how your name could be either English or Welsh. Pardon me for pointing it out— I have a fascination with names and their origins that…[Read more]

@Kate
Thanks! It’s actually an english/welsh town we come from, so Dickens-sounding makes sense. 😉

Okay, this is officially awesome. I’ve found 2 HH fans where I expected to find 0. *tries not to get to excited* It’s up to you guys to get all my references now… maybe I’ll have to put up my fanfic. 😛

Yes, I think we can all agree to disagree on the points upon which we do not see perfectly eye to eye. It was a great discussion. Thanks for starting it, Daniel!

No one else is answering… so I guess it falls to me to make sure this topic does not fall into oblivion. Oh what a noble quest.
I’m not really a composer, but I do enjoy music a great deal. I also play the piano, the harp, the violin (kind of) and sing. I would love to be able to write music, and though frankly I don’t know how I’m ever going…[Read more]

Okay, that makes sense. I never thought of them in that category before.

Yes I do use instances of “evil” since anything from white lies to murder is a sin. And I really don’t know how to reconcile that with Phillipians 4:8 except for overshadowing the evil with good, not focusing strictly on the evil, and not going into gory, graphic detai…

I think the entire 14th chapter of Romans is very relevant for this discussion. I think the strongest argument against writing about vampires is the potential, if real, to cause others to stumble.

What exactly do you mean by dark fantasy? You mean anything that is evil and made-up?

Also, do you ever include an instances of evil in your stories? If so, how do you justify that with Philippians 4:8? And how are we to reconcile Philippians 4:8 with instances in the Bible that deal with very dark subject matter?

I understand where you are…[Read more]

Ezra, I think this is because Hannah and Sarah believe two different things.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this is where we stand:

Hannah C:
Vampires don’t exist, but witchcraft does.
We should not write about witchcraft
Vampires are related to witchcraft
Therefore, we should not write about vampires

Yes, no, Hannah? My only questions…[Read more]
