“Right then,” he turned and started out toward the school.

(feel free to have something happen on the way or get them there safely.)

@grcr

UGH! KP signed me out as I was typing! That’s a new one. *sulks*

Let’s try this again……

I’m starting to get a feel for the amount of siblings! I pick a few to keep an eye on and the rest sort of come and go. It’s like getting to know a family with a tone of kids. (which is what it is, lol)

This was a great chapter and I really…[Read more]

”As in the basement where I found you?”

@theducktator

COOL. Is it vintage or reconstructioned/repatterned? What type of wool?

@savannah_grace2009

cross my heart, I knew about this guy before reading those books! lol

Yes, it’s really wacky. I completely skipped the second book, but even then it was bad.

@loopylin

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

Rory

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!

@linus-smallprint

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

@koshka

That had better be utter sarcasm, XD

@ellette-giselle

WhAt??? Wacky theology? Really??? *Utter sarcasm*

Ugh yes. The Angel stuff is just…weird. and then there’s Drew’s senses things and the red light expirement…*shakes head in mild derision*

@koshka

Oh, okay then.

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

@ellette-giselle

Wow. Yup, Green Beret. He did die in the Middle East, but I don’t think it specified a place or operation.

@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?

@ellette-giselle

That sounds a lot like Cloak of Light.

@esther-c

XD Well good! Glad it was helpful. Don’t worry too much over the whole “Gracious but this draft needs so much work” problem. You’ve already put in a ton of work and learned so much just to get to this point in the drafting process. You can do this! It’s worth it. (plus, hey, we’re all in this thing too…writer’s are crazy)

Just goes to…

@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]

And I would like to throw in something that might be totally unrelated to what you’re dealing with, but it was a bit of a shock to me and had me seriously rethinking how I address certain topics in my books.

(Warning. Mentions of suicide.)

In my recent Psychology class we discussed aproaches to suicide awareness, and the results were mildly…[Read more]

@esther-c

This is a very good question.

But I suppose it comes down to what the reader sees is going on and what the character sees–and those don’t have to be the same. In this case, shouldn’t be.

I’m in the middle of rereading Screwtape Letters. One of the letters tells about how that sin has pleasure attached, and how that pleasure actually…[Read more]

@esther-c

Hi Esther. I actually had something similar to deal with in one of my books as well. Here are the two things I would say to keep in mind that will most likely make the difference.

1. There can be a time where the MC believes a lie as long as it is shown to be a lie by the end of the book. (i.e. There are some rough consequences…[Read more]
