Yes, the defeating the prophesy junk is stupid unless there is a very valid reason. For instance, I had a character in a book who was cursed by the gods of his people because of a prophesy, but when he came to Christ he was able to flip that on it’s head and say, “you know what, I was cursed. But so are all of you. We are all cur…

@rae yeah I can see that.

idk about misunderstood but tragic definitely.

@freed_and_redeemed ugh you’re making me sad now

like in Freedom’s Fire you see him as mostly heartless and cruel, but in all the other books he is more humanized–he has a brother, he has a family, he has reasons for why he did what he did. Not that they were good reasons, mind you, but it means that it upsets you that he went down the path of…[Read more]

well also you can’t really talk about church density NOW as opposed to in the past….y’know?

pretty much about the entire country is really skewed when it comes to that these days….

@calyhuge whoa he was your ancestor? As much as you might dislike him, you gotta admit that’s cool.

@power @ellette-giselle lollll this conversation has me just sitting here on the sidelines watching, I would be eating popcorn but I’m not a huge fan of popcorn, unless it’s popcorn chicken so maybe that’s what I’m eating.

@rae thank you!!

• glad I wasn’t disqualified lol
• confusion in writing is what I’m good at for some reason XD XD
• honestly though, I can see why you think this reads like a chunk of a larger story rather than a short story, cause it kinda is. I wrote it for practice and to maybe one day turn it into a larger storyline, cause that’s how I craft…

@ellette-giselle

Well of course I’m reading it. XD

Ooooffffff I knowwwww. Hurting the poor babies hurts us too…

A threat?

…

Hmmm…

@ellette-giselle

I think you can go ahead and give the prompt whenever you want.

And I vote for one word. It makes things so much more interesting in my opinion.

@ellette-giselle

Okay! I finally got to read through this so far. Here’s my thoughts:

1) Joseph is a dear little boy who might need to be protected from his author.

2) You tend to rely a little heavily on Telling over Showing. For instance, you saying he is struggling with nightmares is unnecessary, since I can see that well enough from his POV…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle wowwwwww

That is so cool!!

My dad designs houses, so if I ever want him to make me a house, I’m gonna ask him to put one in there.

@ellette-giselle

Yep.

Wait a minute.

@ellette-giselle

That is awesome. I wonder if our ancestors fought with, or against each other… XD

@ellette-giselle THAT WAS AWESOME.

I have like zero records of my family history lol. My dad is trying to find some information on his family tree, but there isn’t much to go by. I guess his ancestors didn’t keep a lot of genealogical records.

@calyhuge

I did think it was funny. I also thought it was gross. Quite gross. Grossly gross. But it was funny.

Still wondering how y’all come up with stuff like that though.

@koshka thanks!!

@liberty

Oh dear no. We need more books! Allllll the books!!!!!

XD

@liberty

Oops, sorry. I’m doing Spanish homework and my brain is officially frying.

We need good books in both YA and MG genres.

@liberty

*Cackles*

*Cough cough*

Excuse me.

You see, I’m starting to fall in love with writing for kids. Or maybe I did a long time ago and I’m just now figuring that out. Either way, it’s a topic I’m passionate about. This world is a dark place for kids, for anybody, and it’s just going to get darker in these last hours before Dawn. Kid’s…[Read more]
