Historically, Advent is not about waiting for Christmas. It’s about waiting and preparing for Christ’s second coming, and it is a penitential season similar to Lent, for when He returns, he will not be a meek and mild baby in a manger, but a King coming to judge the earth. My dad says if you do Advent right,…[Read more]

whoops! I saw this by accident! KP didn’t notify me. 😑

He blinked. Shrugged. Life was confusing. Why did people say things they didn’t mean? He moved behind the chair on wheels and grabbed the handles, carefully, he began to push it down the sidewalk. “Where are we going?”

@theducktator

Ugh, being sick is the worst. Everyone in my family likes to get sick one at a time so that by the time the last person is getting better the first person has moved on to something new…. 😑

Praying.

@whalekeeper

Haha! Love the last one!

Oooh, good question!

I’d say the fact that I don’t have to get published young, or that I have to publish the first book I ever wrote.

And it’s really only been recently that I finally let myself slow down and enjoy writing for the sake of writing instead trying to rush and get published before I graduate high school. It’s really neat and ama…[Read more]

@rae

I will!

(Oh dear.)

@whalekeeper

Yes I saw that! I posted it on another forum topic, but I can’t remember which. XD

@ellette-giselle

Wow, that’s crazy. But I like that as an idea to go off of. I probably won’t make it too drastic just bc I don’t want to take the story that direction, but that does spark some ideas.

Thank you!

@koshka

You can do this! It’s worth it. (plus, hey, we’re all in this thing too…writer’s are crazy)

Aww, thanks girl!!

I’ve…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Family friend, but yes. Dad knew him while he was in the military.

@whalekeeper

Have fun!

(When you return, I will pelt you with snowballs so you will have to share your writing…I didn’t use many last year…)

@linus-smallprint

Yep!

I suppose we could. I’m preoccupied today and tomorrow at least, but anyone can do it.

@rae @keilah-h

I will be on a week long vacation starting tomorrow. I am not sure how much of an internet connection there will be. But please continue when you feel up to it! If I do not reply within 24 hours, assume I’m out of reach.

On the bright side, it’s a quiet beach house and I’ll surely have time to write all day.

@linus-smallprint

Yup. Some people who attend my church fell into the Occult before they became Christians, and they blame it on Narnia.

Oh! Well. All the more to my point. There are book series that I, also, try not to reference in front of others too often because it makes them uncomfortable.

@ellette-giselle

That’s quite the story about your friend. Yikes!

@whalekeeper

I guarantee someone has picked up Chronicles of Narnia and made the argument it supports Satanism.

Yup. Some people who attend my church fell into the Occult before they became Christians, and they blame it on Narnia. Which is a bit challenging for me as a fantasy writer. I am just careful to respect their convictions and not wave my…[Read more]

@esther-c

Looking through everyone else’s responses, I think they have already covered what I would say to that. Have her enjoy it, because it’s realistic, then show some consequences. I like the idea of starting with subtle consequences. Something that lets the reader know that what she did was wrong, but she would push it away, or even tell…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

My sister does not have an account. I will see if she is willing to try again. Thanks for the heads-up!

Should we try contacting the moderators again?
