Yep! This way we can practice character voice.

Okay, so I just had a great idea. It’s technically not my idea but I have it, don’t I? XD
In the Young Writers’ Workshop, they don’t roleplay a lot, but they have this activity in the character forum called character interviews. Basically if you have a new character, who you want to get to know (or even an old one!), you can ask people to interv…[Read more]

So I haven’t been reading with the same plan y’all are doing, but I have been going through Genesis on my own. I think the thing that’s stood out to me the most is the beautiful balance of God’s justice and mercy. I’ve only made it as far as after the Flood, but still, I can see that God…[Read more]

Oh yes, I also would totally ship Nat and Steve if it weren’t for Peggy. I missed the Rocket Bucky scene! But I have seen it in clips ect.
Those are all really good! I’ve seen snippets from Ragnorak (Sorry for the spelling lol im lazy) and it looks awesome. I don’t think I’d watch it with Hela though. I’ve had the impression…[Read more]

Those are good points! I’m using the You version app, but I might check out the Bible project app! I don’t really have too much to add, but I enjoyed reading what you guys thought!

WalkByFaith replied to the topic Read through the Bible??? in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 2 years, 10 months ago
I thought Abraham’s love for Lot was admirable. From letting Lot choose where he wanted to go to keep peace between them (when they had to separate), to coming to save Lot after he’d been taken captive—I thought it was good.
So true!
Also, for the first time I noticed how much rebellion was actually in the picture—especially in Esau. I never…

Hey guys! Just wanted to hear anyone’s thoughts on what we’ve read so far! (If I’m right we’ve read through Genesis 30? Please correct me if I’m wrong XD) Any verses/chapters stand out to you?

Alright! Ever since I finished the rough draft of my WIP I realized that I dont have the most important part. The title. People will ask me all the time, “Whats it called?” And I have to say I dont know 🙂 Lol! I am struggling to come up with a name so if…[Read more]

I’m also really sorry, I wanted to ask my question last night. I wasn’t intending to wait till last minute.

Lol, writing was my main hobby for years, and now that I’m hoping to make it my career (or at least part of it) I’m doing it just as much but more seriously. Definitely took me a while to write that much lol.

Wow. You (and your sister) are amazing at building worlds! I feel like mine is so cliche! I really can’t help you much on worldbuilding, because I’m really new to that and it would be like trying to teach a professional artist how to draw, XD
But I will gladly try to help you with characters!!!

Trailblazer started the topic Revolutionary War story idea in the forum Historical 2 years, 10 months ago
Ok, I know I already have too many WIP’s, but I had another idea I’ve been working on this week. I’ve been doing a crazy amount of research for this one and haven’t started any writing yet, which is a bit unusual for me because usually I start writing and research what I need to know as I go. (Probably not the best method, but that’s how I roll…[Read more]

Cloaked Mystery replied to the topic The Ildin Saga in the forum Novel Critique Requests 2 years, 10 months ago
Thanks, that’s all helpful! A dark red, like burgundy, might be good actually. And I could also try a reddish violet color, because the two purple colors I’m using so far are both more cool purples. (I don’t really like warm purples, so that’s why, but I can’t afford to be picky!)

Cloaked Mystery started the topic The Ildin Saga in the forum Novel Critique Requests 2 years, 10 months ago
This is a new topic for my Celestiar series set on Ildin. I don’t know how many books this will be, because I’ve only been working on the first one. Again, as with the Adonial Saga, “the Ildin Saga” is a working name, but not the final one.
I’m switching my attention from the Adonial Saga to this one. I have a couple reasons why. First of all,…[Read more]

I think that is awesome! I don’t have any theological problems with that. I tend to avoid doing robots and stuff, because I don’t believe that such a creation would have a soul, and I would usually rather avoid writing about those topics. I haven’t thought about how that would extend to a human created in a lab. There’s nothing biological about a…[Read more]
*either not dither
I don’t like to play with sentient and rational robots, honestly those creep me out. The idea of Alpha being originally a a robot made out of flesh came from me just thinking about him. It was really weird, I was talking as Alpha to his best friend Terry and it just spilled out. I was making it up as I went, but it sounded like it was a set piece…[Read more]
That makes sense to me. I think we’re pretty much on the same page.
I haven’t thought about it in depth, but from first glance, I don’t have a problem with it either. I guess it would depend also on how he was created. Did they take human DNA to create him? If that’s the case, then I think he would have a soul just like any other person, because the rest of us are created with human DNA, even though the process of…[Read more]
He was made from mixed DNA, to give him the traits Grathmere wanted. I believe most likely, he was made the weird 3D printer way at first, and developed from there.
He was actually interestingly enough, not made to have any moral compass. He was supposed to be a heartless assassin that did what Grathmere wished. He’d have limited free will, but…[Read more]
I think that’s a really good idea. I don’t find any theological issues with it. Er, I don’t really have any other comments ATM 😅
@rae
I like the idea! I think it makes sense that he would be without breath at first, and I think that God could definitely give him a soul if He chose
Ooh, ok. So I see where your doubts are coming from. Here’s my opinion…
I believe that as soon as a baby is conceived in the womb, he (referring to either gender in this case) is a human being with a soul that is loved by God. Obviously he cannot physically breathe yet because he’s only a few cells. But when he is born, God is ultimately the O…[Read more]
@rae
I really like this idea!!!
I think this is a fun idea. I don’t think there’s any theological problems. Is this your fantasy, or something else? If the first, then I wouldn’t think theological and scientific problems should be your primary concern, because what you say goes. Even if your more into hard worldbuilding, you can build up a distinct theological system that is…[Read more]
@thearcaneaxiom Yeah, this is in my sci-fi/fantasy Galaxy. Alpha is one of my main charries.
I don’t think this is too weird an idea for a sci-fi universe. It’s basically like God put literal, actual life in a body which was built, not born. Like a machine built out of flesh and bone, it was working, but it wasn’t alive quite yet. I think the way he explains it is a little strange, but that’s an explanation and can be modified a bit.
My only issue is that if his heart was going but not his breathing, he would die pretty quickly, so maybe he was effectively “dead” with neither organ working, and when they tried to “jump-start” him, his heart started but not his lungs, and then when they were confusedly trying to figure it out he started breathing.
That was a weird explanation, sorry….
It makes sense…in fact that was the way I pictured it in my mind, just Alpha sometimes says things weirdly, and leaves out parts.
I believe the term for during but still coming back to life by revival is called “clinically dead”. Not sure if Alpha falls under this or not, though…
Ok, good, it made sense…lol
