Reading now. Feedback in a sec

@loopylin @whalekeeper @mineralizedwritings

Yeah, I mean, I personally prefer that whoever I’m talking to would make eye contact as well, or at least try to. But as long as they’re not like, staring at the floor or clearly not even looking at me, then I’m not offended or anything.

I do believe consistently making eye contact takes practice and i…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Honestly, that was the obligation I felt writing this, so no wonder you picked that up from reading it.

lol. It felt like it.

I think your dad has some really good advice. I would go with that.

@highscribeofaetherium

No problem.

@ellette-giselle

Oh, yeah, I’m gonna sit out again 😑 sorry, everyone, that I’ve kinda just not been participating. I don’t have any good excuses :p

@highscribeofaetherium

Should I wait on a drawing from you, or are you planning to skip this round?

@rae

Am I getting an updated drawing from you, or would you like to use the one you already submitted?

Also like, if you said Gospel-thematic stories were the only good stories… you’re cutting out a whole lot of stories. Stories can be chill, they don’t have to carry the whole fate of the world on their backs. Should I attack a puzzle mystery show for not including a biblical message? You might as well critique every human-made thing with the same…[Read more]

@rae

So, as I said, I’m just debating the opposite side from you, so I most likely do not believe what I’m saying.  In fact, I’m personally more inclined to agree with your side.

Alriiiiight *cracks knuckles* Hopefully this makes sense (:-P)

I agree that sometimes a gospel storyline can feel forced when added randomly into a plot, but it just h…

@mineralizedwritings

girl I thought you seriously dissagreed what I said. I’m not used to you responding to discussions with such short answers and I’m used to ‘touching a nerve’ meaning like…

I’ve been stressing about it sm today LOL

I gasped out loud when you said that 😮 Oh no… I’m so sorry I came off that way! I replied quickly because I h…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Hmm. I didn’t want to dwell too long on it, since both the reader and Alan want to hear Charles’s story more. But I wanted to include this as well, because, like I said, a fantasy book telling you not to read fantasy books would just be weird. Perhaps I have room to fit in more here? I could also try coming back to this lat…

@freed_and_redeemed

I think there’s a place for stories that present the Gospel, but also stories that may not necessarily present the Gospel. God calls us to all write different things, and honestly? I think that’s what’s most beautiful about these Christian writing communities and what each of us write

Exactly! If we were all writing the same…[Read more]

 Anyway, I think he needs some pointy ears and a ridiculous amount of equipment on his back, eh?

😠

No.

Nope.

Not happening.

lol

@rae

Oh, also, I’m gonna ask someone to stop us if we get too heated. I have a tendency to do this when I really get the ball rolling. ellette-giselle If Whaley agrees, would you mind?

Yes, I can kill this if I need to, though it looks like so far y’all have kept your heads. lol

@freed_and_redeemed

I wasn’t necessarily saying that…… Well, now that I think about it I actually am saying God should be there.

See, the big issue for me was that Rae said that her character found joy and peace and I was wondering where he found that if it wasn’t from God.

@linus-smallprint @grcr

Thanks y’all!

Thinking about my opinions on this topic just a few months ago…y’all, I’m so glad God is helping me grow XD

@rae @whalekeeper @mineralizedwritings I love how we can all peacefully discuss our different opinions on this💖

Y’all are the best  : )

I agree with you, Min! Writing God in a story is difficult, and it makes it even harder depending on the genre you write. I don’t think all books have to have God be explicitly stated or mentioned or even…[Read more]
