I really love all of your points💖😂
(and just so you know, your fun little comedic WIP is amazing and still has wonderful characters and amazing lessons and values within it even though it’s ‘just for fun’ 😉🥰)

@theshadow I definitely agree with @whalekeeper on this one
and you can also just talk to God about it. He knows, He gets it, He understands more than you may think He does and cares more than any of us could ever imagine.
He cares about what you care about, and I agree with Whaley that you really don’t have to stress😊 Unless it’s clearly…[Read more]

Notifs on my forum aren’t working the best, soooo @keilah-h what did you think of Freedom’s Fire? <3 idk anyone else on here that read it that hasn't already given their thoughts, but I wanted to ask you XD (we'll ignore the formatting issues. that's Amazon's end and I plan on fixing it in the future when I have more time to do…[Read more]

@rae @whalekeeper @mineralizedwritings I love how we can all peacefully discuss our different opinions on this💖
Y’all are the best : )
I agree with you, Min! Writing God in a story is difficult, and it makes it even harder depending on the genre you write. I don’t think all books have to have God be explicitly stated or mentioned or even…[Read more]

Leon set the plate and utensil aside on a counter.
How was he supposed to say what he had to say without sounding ungrateful? How was he supposed to explain the burning anger that still pulsed through his veins in a way they would understand?
Riker stood. “…This doesn’t have to change anything. I helped Leon this…[Read more] -

Editing has to be the most grueling part of the writing process 💀🫠

Exactly! 🤪 Thx for responding to my little ramble 😚
You’re so welcome 💖🥰💖
Oof, characters can get annoying. I still have some from when I was a Teeny-Weeny Whaley, which is a pretty good record of remembering concepts, but nothing can stay on your mind consistently without stretching its stay at times.
I love them, but they can drive…[Read more]

How are Marcel and Seb and all of the babies?? 🥺 I have to know
I honestly need a writing/world/character update from all of y’all XD I’ve been so absent, and I need the updates. 😂 idk who to tag, but y’all know who you are👀

And thinking about how I used to say/think every story had to explicitly state God…I’m so glad that has changed, because it has made the Christian writing world even more beautiful than it already was.

freedom replied to the topic The Chat Chat in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 months ago
Yes, so true! What we go through can make or break us. It really depends on how we deal with the hard things happening around us and to us, and how much we rely on God vs ourselves.
and I love what you said in response to @rae
I think there’s a place for stories that present the Gospel, but also stories that may not necessarily…[Read more]

@rae
EEEE I love it. And you talking about your AU reminded me of my AU idea where Riker is a villain👀-
I’m glad you like it.
Strange, until recently, people didn’t really pay much attention to what i do over here and now suddenly people compliment my art and get excited over my writing…did i improve that greatly and not even know it?
Anyways, it doesn’t really matter.
Up for a chat? How have you been doin’ lately? And how has Leon and Riker been?

I think I like writing things that can be dark because it’s relatable. I find that some of the Christian places I’ve known in the past aren’t willing to deal with the idea of intense hardship. I mean most of us live in a developed country, have access to food and water, and don’t have any kind of life threatening persecu…

@ellette-giselle Just a friendly reminder that a book can glorify God without explicitly stating Him. :3
I used to believe the same thing, and it’s totally ok if that’s your personal conviction and I’m not here to argue, but as I’ve grown and met other Christian authors who don’t necessarily mention God but still show aspects of Christianity,…[Read more]

I thought it was AMAZING!! The characters were well crafted and the story was riveting. I want more already, and I greatly enjoyed how you brought in side characters like the Baumann boys (Knowing they might have their own book someday makes me really happy for some reason). I liked that doctor who helped Leon, I don’t remember his name. (Although…[Read more]
I’m so happy you enjoyed it!! Awww, you wanting more means so much💖 (don’t worry, I’m in the editing process of the 2nd book👀). The doctor’s name is Wilhelm, Wilhelm Müller :3
Jezyk IS in other books, but still before he’s killed. (my books often take place at the same time just from different povs) Jezyk was killed bc he was in and knew about…[Read more]
Ohhhh ok, that makes so much more sense about Jezyk now!! Yeah, I liked Wilhelm, he was cool. Where did he go? I remember towards the end of the book it said he’d gone somewhere.
and lol, you’re welcome.
Where Wilhelm went will hopefully be explained in a later novel, but basically he had to flee bc his brothers were after him AND he had a few Jewish people he helped rescue and had to help them get to safety :3
Ohhh really cool! Yeah, I can tell there’s a lot of stuff in the story that’ll be explored in other books, and that makes me really happy lol
also he has brothers after him?? Interesting!
@keilah-h ACK, I was thinking of another character😭 Wilhelm doesn’t have brothers after him 🫠🫠 but he is helping others escape.
dude, I was thinking about Himmler while talking about Wilhelm.
Wilhelm doesn’t have brothers after him eventually…but Himmler does.
This is what happens when you have more characters than you can count XXD
