As I’m reading through this conversation, it’s opening my eyes to some things I didn’t realize before. I used to be more of a sensitive person, but because I thought I would come across as “childish” or “wimpy”, I created a tough outside shell and concealed a lot of my emotions. I think that hard/tough shell is affecting my…[Read more]

@esther-c

Yeah, good themes. We can all use some inspiring encouragement in those areas!

@lightoverdarkness

Haha, yeah! I let him draw on the ones I don’t care about. Sometimes he writes me sweet little messages 😊❤️.

That is so sweet…do you mind if I use that in my story?? I just had that thought now. I’m not sure if Lyaksandro would do that but I want him to!!

I love yours too! ❤️😊

Thanks… 😀

@esther-c

Totally! The French language sounds refined and very elegant. 😀

I love Irish accents!!!! Australian is fun too! (Ken Ham…4King and Country…)

Like, if my future husband has an Australian or Irish accent then: 😍. Lol.

Just marry a voice actor, then he’ll be able to do all the fun ones…JK!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣 No, you’d want it to be authentic.…

@starofthenorth @arien

Yes!! Sisters are the best for planning romances (whether character romances or otherwise lol 🤣🤣)

Oooo…yes, for sure. 😀

Oh yes, my brain works great then, LOL! I’m super tired because I was up late last night . . . got an idea and had to write it down, of course! I would have forgotten it otherwise!

Exactly! Why does t…[Read more]

@arien

Great way to put it.

@esther-c

That was so fun to read!! I was a little scared right before they stepped out of the Orb…I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. 😀

@esther-c

Go for it! I love hearing French people talk…the accent is so fun.

@starofthenorth

Haha, we sure do! And stay up into the wee hours of the morning (okay, maybe not that long) thoroughly discussing them 🤣😁

Sisters are hands down the best co-conspirators. And the wee hours of the morning are the BEST time to talk all things WIPs, character romances, etc. 😀 🤣 I have a sister 3 yr. older than me and I’m so thankful…[Read more]

@koshka

I actually wrote a research argument paper over this question for college. It was quite interesting to dig into. There are many speculations over it and just as many opinions, but I believe Sam is the Central Protagonist.

Wow, you wrote a research paper about it? I guess I better back down. You know a lot more about it than I do. 😀 Not…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Thanks so much for all the helpful info! I’ll definitely be checking them out.

@mineralizedwritings

Sometimes reading a good book where you can relate to a difficult struggle of the MC can help you understand something you went through.

Yes, very much so!

Honestly, a good book can feel like therapy when you need it. Not that we should go to books instead of God or therapy

Yeah. And no, but God can use good books to help…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness6

I misspelled the guys name. 😂 It’s by Michael W. Smith.

I’ll check out Come Unto Jesus.

@esther-c

I like the names you picked! And great mood boards.

Should be interesting… 😀

@godlyfantasy12

I’ve stayed away from Harry Potter mostly because the characters are specifically learning witch craft, from what I understand.

I won’t judge anyone who’s watched/read them though. Maybe they don’t see it this way. It’s just a personal conviction.

@mineralizedwritings

Thanks for starting this topic! It’s great that we can all share our thoughts as Christians and encourage one another.

Some people say, “Don’t write anything you wouldn’t let your little sister read.” I don’t agree with that, because there are some topics that need to be addressed but are not appropriate for younger…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness6

A song that describes a lot of my teenage characters is My Place In This World by Micheal W. Smith. I would recommend this song to ALL TEENS and young adults everywhere because it is so true and so relatable.

@lightoverdarkness6

I love this!! Each chapter gets better and better! You did really good showing the sibling dynamic.

Thank you so much! I’m glad you like it. Yes, I have seven siblings so writing about sibling dynamics comes somewhat naturally. 😀

That sounds like our house 😂. I love to draw, and my little brother is always drawing on my…

@koshka

Those two are my absolute favorite favorite characters of LotR. Admittedly I’ve only read the books, but that means I have a closer appreciation for what the author intended, right?

Yup. Technically you’re right. 😀

Sam is so wonderful, and I believe he’s the main character.

Wait, you really think Tolkien wrote Sam as the main cha…[Read more]

@koshka

Ok! I’ll keep that in mind!
