Hope Ann

@daughteroftheking Same here. My first thought was ‘darkest’ but then I switched to ‘blackest’ because I thought it sounded better.

@catwing Breathing hope into the blackest of nights. I like that.

@jess Hmmm… I like breathing. Penning could maybe work too. Penning hope in the blackest of nights. Eh… not sure. Thoughts?

The main thing is…[Read more]

@catwing You made it!!!! And I’m two days late to the party. Like normal. XD Still, it’s great to see you. I’ve always loved cats with wings. Anything with wings, really, except for some bugs. But cats, horses, dragons, wolves… I enslave *coughs* I mean, care for them all.

@graciegirl Oooo, yes. *grins* *rubs hands* I definitely think a Christ figure can be a well-rounded character in His own right. Even a main character, if you do it right. Part of it depends on the depth of your allegory and if you are making a certain point or if you are presenting the gospel story itself. Even then, the point is to present…[Read more]

What everyone else said. I think switching names and such from the common terminology is cool. That being said, I have the Prince and Followers in one of my own books. But the religion is a backdrop for another theme and not a great part of the plot in and of itself. It depends a lot on your angle and point of your story. The larger a part…[Read more]

This is hilarious. And the dramatic fainting… XD

As for renaming my MC in each book, that is a great idea. *nods* I shall have to remember that. Does it work even if the MC is a woman?

I, and a few others here, are planning on attending this Indana Faith and Writing Conference in October. 🙂

And if Realm Makers is in PA next year, I am so going to try and go. I’ve been watching it for years, but Nevada was a bit far…

@northerner I would, but I already have more going on than I actually have time for. Besides which, I’m also entering the contest (If I get time to sit down and write). 🙁

Welcome, @shannon!!!! You come from a big family too; bigger than mine even. 😀 I have eight younger siblings. Do you have any favorite songs?

@daeus Sounds good. I think you have my email from last time.

@winter-rose Breaks? What are those? Who has time for breaks? XD

I do leave a project for a little bit when I’m done with it, but I never actually take a break from writing because I’ve several projects going at a time. To get a good perspective on a manuscript, yes… taking a break for a few weeks or months (I’ve heard months is good but have…[Read more]

@daeus This book comes highly recommended. 😀 Though… I don’t have time for a page by page beta reading like I did last time. I should be able to read it through in a month and jot notes on each chapter or anything plot or character wise that catches my eye if that works for you.

As for a manuscript swap… even if it wasn’t taken, 170,000 is a…[Read more]

@rjk Just enter one. Sometimes people enter more than one and I just pick my favorite to enter for the voting by the writing team members. But yes… one, generally. 😉

@kate-flournoy I’m praying!

@Writefury Arggggggg I LOVE IT! I need to see those again.

@kate-flournoy You are just gifted with a greater depth of sight than most.

@kate-flournoy *hugs you* It’s called the subtext of a character. The gift of seeing it, and seeing it in depth, varies from person to person.

@kate-flournoy They are mine too. You can’t have them all.
