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?

@hybridlore

Yesss, I love writing little kids. 🥰😂

@savannah_grace2009

Awww, girl that makes me so happyyyy 😂❤️❤️

@theducktator

Aww, that sounds so fun!! Those kinds of elevators are literally the besttt 😎

Heya, guys? Just want to point out the moderators were active over the past day or so. And I think I know what they were fixing. There’s a new “newest member.” Maybe they fixed the issue with making new accounts!

@linus-smallprint

Does your sister have an account now? If she doesn’t – potentially try requesting again?

@esther-c

I’m worried that I’m sending little messages that this sin really isn’t so bad or evil.

I really don’t think you have to worry about this unless the MC doesn’t face consequences.

Every MC lives with internalized beliefs, some right and some wrong, and if you’re telling the story from the MC’s perspective – they’re not exactly going…[Read more]

@koshka

That had better be utter sarcasm, XD

@koshka

Oh, okay then.

Those books are cool, but they also have a lot of wacky things theology-wise.

@koshka

I KNOW! When I was reading that I was like, “No way! This is what happened to –––” Except I don’t think Drew Carter’s dad died in Dessert Storm. And was he Special Forces?

@esther-c

Glad it was helpful. I have a possible idea for something that you could try for option three.

We knew a kid who was trying to go straight. His dad was Special Forces and died in Dessert Storm. His dad’s best friend was kind of a mentor to him tho and was trying to fill in as a father figure. None of them were Christian’s at this…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Your advice is so so helpful!!

And it drew attention to a weaker part of my book—my FMC identifying the lie she’s been believing and accepting the truth. That turn-around moment is a part I’m still working on, so you pointing that out is awesome. I think right now she’s just been living this lie without experiencing any consequ…[Read more]

And a meme about my project for good measure. It’s too accurate to not make. XD

I thiiink this is just a me thing but I made it anyway.

@ellette-giselle

Third is most relatable to me. XD

@linus-smallprint

600+? That’s… a lot of characters… You’ve got a lot of patience.

lol yeah… 😅 it never feels like that many though, when I sort them into the friend groups and families they belong in.

How long did it take you to do just those 28?

Ignoring my week-long moments of procrastination… about two days or so. I frequently forgot abo…[Read more]

So, I’m pretty much done with this cold, but now there is a stomach bug in the house. (I haven’t caught it yet thankfully) It’s DECEMBER and we haven’t spent a single month with no illnesses all year. I lost track of the number of illnesses we’ve had at around 7 or 8 in July, and I’ve had at least 3 since then, and there have been others I’ve…[Read more]
