XD You’ll get there.
I was surprised those were his first fictional novels. That’s some Godly inspiration right there.
George Macdonald? I don’t recognize that name. Andrew Peterson quotes him?

Hullo!
@trahia-the-minstrel and I were nerding over anime. I love anime, but there were somehow no anime threads. So here’s one for whoever’s into anime/manga.
I haven’t read a lot of manga, but my brother’s gotten me into the anime hole. And, at the moment, I have no intention of climbing out just yet XD
What anime have you all seen?
Here’s a…[Read more] -

I will look for the rest of the anime/manga then! How many manga are there?
You know some Japanese? That’s so cool!
I’ve heard some Attack on Titan music and (another big surprise) my bro has watched it.

It is so beautiful.

I’m glad Andrew Peterson decided to go with putting that ending in the epilogue. It was smart, the perfect way to carry on the story without the…[Read more]

🙂 Amen.
@trahia-the-minstre
Ah, yes. I have seen that anime. Snow White With the Red Hair is one of my friends favorite anime. My brother (who’s best friends with this girl(my friend)) convinced me to watch the anime (big surprise) for his best friend’s sake.
I enjoyed most of it, the romance was adorable at times. I just wish…[Read more]

thank you for the kind words, Kathleen! John 14 is a wonderful idea. it’s hard to always remember that God is there, but what you said is so true. now that i think about it, songs are the main things that come on and remind me of the truth. “water under the bridge” is what my mom likes to say, when life is hard sometimes. thank…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon Are those from your fanfic?

I LOVE THIS BOOK!! I read all of them. And yes, Janner’s death was sad, but Andrew Peterson is not going to continue. He says its because he wants people to wonder what happened next so his story will continue and be remembered. (Maybe he likes fanfiction?)

@elishavet-pidyon Actually, I didn’t come up with the name by myself. I asked on another site what a good name for them would be for them, and someone suggested using words from Latin or Greek, so I searched up Latin words for cat (there are a bunch) and found one I liked.

Lin replied to the topic What's an unexpected benefit you got from writing? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 10 months ago
@kathleenramm Writing has allowed me to appreciate different forms of story more. While more things may seem mediocre now, I can also truly better appreciate the highest forms of literary art, such as classic lit, as well as extremely well done movies. Yes, being a writer ruins some things because now I can predict the plot. But when I can’t…[Read more]

@lydia-s That sounds awesome! Great job taking the disciples’ backgrounds and turning them into interesting characters! I like their backstories–they sound realistic for what we can discern from the Bible and stuff.

I recently exited a season of stress, and even though I’m a loosely-scheduled homeschooler, I know what that’s like mentally.
XD I prolly dealt with it in a somewhat wrong way (more time with friends, and more comfort food than usual) but as soon as I let myself restÂ
maybe cry and very much vent emotionsI simply leaned on Jesus. That…[Read more] -

Oh my goodness, my brother got me to do the same thing. Just with a different anime. It’s called Jujutsu Kaisen, it’s also rated R, but he didn’t bother to tell me that. And he had me watch it. Alone. But it’s fine, the violence isn’t so bad. It was one of those shows that had the right amount of charming humor and a great…[Read more]

That sounds fun. My mom is Texan and she and some of my siblings always enjoyed those types of movies. If you ever visit, be prepared to be assaulted with Chuck Norris memes 😉

@elishavet-pidyon Hmmm, I’d say my Dragonmen–but I have a forum topic for them already. I’ll do the Ailurids. (Aelurus means cat in Latin, so I thought it’d be a good name for a race of catlike creatures.)
They’re humanoid, but usually a little bigger than large housecats. They can stand erect or on four legs. Although they wear clothes, they…[Read more]

I used to read the American Girl books. I didn’t like them all that much, and kind of thought of them as discount–Laura Ingles Wilder books. But I was also strongly against historical fiction, so it made sense I didn’t like it.
What’s Fort Apache?
Yea, I agree I like Amy with Laurie, I think it tied the…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Ever since I started writing I read much less, and I don’t reread books I read long ago anymore, plus I think we gave a lot of them away. On the rare occasion that I remembered I loved one book as a kid and I would reread it, I usually found it more hilarious than before.
There was one trilogy I really loved called School For Good…[Read more]
