Sorry, school has started and I was whisked away by it. Anyway, I will be introducing three characters.

Percival

Age: 19

Species: human, and from the fictional country of Terre, which is inspired by Germany and France.

Appearance: tall, muscular though more athletic than…[Read more]

Some one had heard me, and he had a gun. Guns weren’t supposed to exist in fantasy novels! I pointed my sword at him, hoping I didn’t look terrified. My adventure had barely begun, and I hadn’t met a single old wizard. I couldn’t die yet! “Get thee hence, thou beet…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Nahim’s raincloud has been clearing, but I’m afraid it will soon grow thick again. Mandin is Mandin, hasn’t change muh besides his annoyance at not knowing what to say to Nahim.

Alpha wants to punch something. Silvanis wants to go on some life-threatening adventure because he got bored for two seconds. Tenz and his twin have…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Thanks for the steps, I will use them while discerning, especially number 2. My book idea is one that is set in the middle ages, and originally it was to be set during the Black Death. Over time, however, I think this might be the thing I was stressing over. I was convicted over how dark that time period was, and how I might not…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

I demand an update on you and all of your characters and stories😤

Oh okay…

I’m starting rowing up again after labor Day. I’m only a novice, but I’m hoping to do some races! Not sure if I’ll be in a single, double, quad or eight yet, and whatever I’m placed in I will most likely be in for the rest of the season unless…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed same lol

@whalekeeper speaking of which, when do you think you’ll have the next part done?

@loopylin

Loops’ District

Joe Schmo had seen many things in his life.

He barely shifted on his stool as the door to the ice cream shop creaked open, and a bell jangled above the open! sign. His gaze – covered by a pair of sunglasses – barely flickered away from the microwave, in w…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Oh my goodness, that looks so good!!!

Psstt, @freed_and_redeemed … 👆

@keilah-h @freed_and_redeemed

while it’s a stretch, you could say that Aragorn and Smalls, the king characters who take their thrones in the end, could partially be considered analogues of Jesus.

If I hear anyone saying this and actually believing it, then they will have the wrath of a German on their hands!

(I understand you’re just mentioning t…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed @whalekeeper @keilah-h @theshadow @grcr @esther-c

I don’t know if there’s an armory in this place, so I just added one.

Ayla

I rubbed my eyes blearily. Had I fallen out of bed? I put my hand on the ground. It was…stone? I leapt to my feet. “Wow.”  Sun shone through a high circular window, glinting off of what appeared to b…[Read more]

Crosshair

His eyes slowly opened to see stone walls.

Not an Imperial facility. Not his home, either.

But something tugged at his memory, like he’d been here before.

He sat up. “Feather?” he called, his scratchy voice echoing down the hallways. His wife didn’t respond.…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed @mineralizedwritings @whalekeeper Gonna have to go with your point of view here….

Think of Lord of the Rings or The Green Ember. These stories don’t have explicitly Christian themes or even mention the existence of God much, although it’s kinda implied. But they were written by authors who wished to show a deep truth–the…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

I think there’s a place for stories that present the Gospel, but also stories that may not necessarily present the Gospel. God calls us to all write different things, and honestly? I think that’s what’s most beautiful about these Christian writing communities and what each of us write

Exactly! If we were all writing the same…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

I wasn’t necessarily saying that…… Well, now that I think about it I actually am saying God should be there.

See, the big issue for me was that Rae said that her character found joy and peace and I was wondering where he found that if it wasn’t from God.

@rae @whalekeeper @freed_and_redeemed @anyone else in the discussion

Mind if I add my two cents about God in stories?

Writing God into a story is really really hard, and it’s not something I would want to mess up. It can go well, or it can go badly. A lot of you here are familiar with the wingfeather saga, which was written by a Christian, but I…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @freed_and_redeemed

I love this😭😭 so well put and so true.

That’s part of the reason why I write such deeper, even darker stories too. I think it’s something that needs to be addressed more. Cheers to you, girlie💖

Awww thank you guys 😭😭💗
