I’m just interested. And thank you for the kind compliment, I like to think I’m very imaginative. 😀

I, too, am a fellow knitter as well as crocheter and an amature seamstress. 🙂

@Emma yes I think it would be adorable but how would it be unrealistic? 🙂

@Reagan oh dear I hope not!

@Daeus I don’t think it should be avoided in every book but a good deal of them could do without it. Now me, I love romance books and probably the majority of books on my shelf are romances but even I can see they do get in the way sometimes.…[Read more]

Lol ok yes I’ll laugh with you. I suppose that was a rather funny way of putting things. 😀

Yes I did read your first post and if I look back on it, it does state the same thing I just did. And in the case that you feel no twinge then good that’s fine then.

And you don’t offend me either, probably because I can tell you’re not trying to be…[Read more]

The problem is, you’re acting towards others like it does. The article you posted (I skimmed it for Bible passages, and read what it said about those, and then skimmed it again), made no case against vampires or zombies. It made a case for the themes presented by the author that was /conveyed/ via zombies and vampires. Those are two very d…

Good points, Ezra. I think that romance, especially in movies or action writing of any kind, just sorta gums up the works. Its unnecessary. Its only there because (and forgive me for saying this) “sex” sells. My apologies but it’s true. That’s the only reason they put it in adventure writings, at least for the most part.

Now there’s a really romantic story, what if somebody was blind and they got talking to somebody else and fell in love with their heart instead of their looks. There was a movie where two people fell in love over letters and a book (one of my favorites actually.) Why can we write this same kind of thing?

HC

I cannot honestly point to a place in the Bible where it’s says vampires and zombies are wrong because to my knowledge there is no such thing mentioned in the Bible. However, I believe that dealing with such things opens a door to demons in your life. I have found an article that discusses the subject a bit.

If that’s how it was with your parents then that’s lovely but I have to say that they must be one of the very few exceptions for I don’t see it working very often. 🙂

I agree, it is usually very self motivated and American stories do tend to focus on feelings rather than anything more solid. That’s why I say it’s unrealistic. They focus on the…[Read more]

Hello Dani!

Alaska, huh? What a beautiful place and certainly one I’d like to see in person one day. I see we share a common interest in midwifery. 🙂

I’m sure you are plenty good at writing but it often seems we are so much worse at it than everyone else. I’ve gone through these times myself but keep persevering. 🙂

Anyway, you can find a…[Read more]

I’m sure you do not believe any of this, but this is where the logic leads. As we’ve written about in many Kingdom Pen posts, there is a difference between depicting something sinful, and advocating it. We certainly do not want to promote or advocate sin.

I agree that we should not advocate sin. But let’s look at this logically, what are you…[Read more]

Also, Christians are no longer under the dietary restrictions of the Old Testament, so the laws forbidding us to eat certain things in the OT are void.

So are you saying we are allowed to drink blood now?

HC

Do you have Biblical support to back this up?

Probably not the kind you would like, I have no actual references. But there is the Bible itself. If you’ll recal there is no mention of vampires and zombies. There is, however, verses that talk about not drinking the blood of life (which vampires do.)

Leviticus 17:11 – For the life of the flesh…[Read more]

*whistles* that’s some serious writing there, Daeus. And tat plotline would definitely make for some good reading.

HC

I’d like to point out that as Christian writers n matter what world we write about they should still be governed by the laws Christ has set down. In my opinion.

HC

Wow, Sarah you have amazed once again. I think they should get captured, it gives the reader that “Oh no will nothing ever go right for them?” perspective. The cell was attached to the conference room was it not? Well maybe one of the crew returns to get some important papers when he discovers Kim trying to free Karen. Long story short they both…[Read more]

I totally agree here. I would not want to read or write about vampires, zombies, werewolves, witches etc. I think they are all morally wrong not to mention downright creepy feeling. There is just something that feels wrong about those topics and I don’t believe they are very Christian.

HC

Ooooh Sarah I’m really getting into this story and the Austria idea doesn’t sound too bad either. We don’t have any other ideas And this one seems to fit pretty good.

Poor Karen is locked in. Perhaps the guards enlisted the help of the servants to search the island and Kim had been peering over the cliff ledge to check on Karen when she saw her…[Read more]

Wow good points, Daeus. I like that plotline you worked out for the villain. I think its a little cliche to have the hero submit the villians ideals and beliefs but then have him change his mind near the end of the book and ultimately triumph. That’s why I like the idea of raising up a minor character to take his place, which is actually very…[Read more]

Oooh I’m loving this.

Ok so what if some of the names were crossed out in say blue and those were the names of rising political stars that would be most likely to be outspoken against this program whatever it is. And what if the guards find out there’s been a “security leak” and they know about Karen but they just don’t know where she is.
