@That_Writer_Girl_99 hey, no rush. Take your time. 😉

I love both drawings so much.

Ah, I forgot to respond to your questions on my novel excerpt page… hang on. *flies away* @kate-flournoy

@That_Writer_Girl_99 awesome! *grins* I have to say she was remarkably easy to capture on the first try. I think it’s because I already had a very firm grasp of her personality due to her well-executed voice in the snippet you shared. 😉

And— I originally saw Tam with reddish blonde hair, but now that you mention that… I can totally see it. 😀

@Christi-eaton You know what? When I saw this, I realized that the girl in your drawing actually looks like a character from my current WIP. I love it! The tattoos on her arm are so unique.

@kate-flournoy Kate. The sketch is AMAZING. Oh my goodness! You are wayyyyy talented! The look in her eyes is spot-on. I can almost sense her shyness and the…[Read more]

Thank you, everyone.

It gives me a joy just to read that. I need to remember it more often. The problem is that I forget my purpose in life, and so any sort of failure seems like a defeat, but really, I’m just here as a tool, so I just need to do my best and God will make it worth while.

You and I are definitely running on the same wavelength h…[Read more]

@Daeus Yes. That’s a big problem I have—you wrote the solution right there. It’s just hard to remember all the time. Thanks for saying such true truths, even if its kind of hard to consistently live by them. 😀

@FeedingMyGoldfish Wheee! Yes, I’ve tried the higher-on-bow grip before, but never long enough to get comfortable with it. 😛 I should do it more.

@ClaireC I’m F3 to F5…so that makes me like a cross between alto and mezzosoprano. I love singing, but mostly when I’m alone, or just having fun. 😛 I carry tunes well but I don’t really have technique.

@Daeus amen. 🙂

@That_Writer_Girl_99 @Daeus I’ll be praying hard for both of you. I struggle with depression myself not infrequently and I know just how low it makes you feel.
Daeus, in your own words—Depression is a result of worry. Depression kills your joy, and the joy of the Lord is your strength. When you’re not worrying, you’re stronger and nothing seems…[Read more]

@Christi-Eaton been there, done that. 😀

@Dragon-Snapper wow— really? That’s… thank you! That’s a beautiful thing to say. 😀 Truth of it is, a lot of my characters are really messed up people living really messed up lives, but you’re right— even with people like that, I firmly believe there’s always hope. *grins* I guess that sort of came through unconsciously.

@kate-flournoy One thing I noticed about all your character drawings, is that they all have a sense of hope about them. 🙂

@Christi-Eaton I love her! I don’t have anyone that fits her, but I love the sense of personality you achieved. 😀

@That_Writer_Girl_99 Kara. 🙂 Anywhere close?

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I’m sorry. I should have realized you were getting overwhelmed and slowed down a bit. When I get excited it can be a bit like drinking from a water-hose. 😛 If it starts happening again just tell me. I can slow down. 😉

Of course we can talk about Kara.

But first let me answer your question about plot vs. character. Which…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 @Daeus I will definitely be praying for both of you. Writing’s hard enough without dealing with isolation/depression.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 loneliness is not fun. I’ll certainly be praying for you.
@Daeus you too. I’m sure you’re doing great, and I mean that cuz I’ve seen what you can do.

@i-j-anderson That’s perfect! Her hair turned out exactly as I’d imagined. That’s great. Thanks heaps. 🙂

@that_writer_girl_99 Awww, I’ll be praying for you. I was in the same boat once (still am, partly), but trust me, God’s got it all worked out. Remember, you’ve got your KP buddies backing you every step of the way. 🙂
