Thanks!! I find it interesting as well, bc I made up a lot of stuff about the charries on the spot, and I really like it! I said the theme is forgiveness, but it is also trusting God. I find that the latter theme is one that literally comes into every book that I write! It’s actually really neat!

@lightoverdarkness6

I LOVE Top Gun: Maverick! It’s such a good movie isn’t it?!

Yes!!! All of our family love it!! My dad and brother love it the most with probably my mom and I in close second. It’s so… authentic. Yeah… It’s so good! 😆

@godlyfantasy12

So cool that you have so many songs for your charries! I have playlists for my MCs and for m…[Read more]

Go for it! I love hearing French people talk…the accent is so fun.

@starofthenorth

Haha, we sure do! And stay up into the wee hours of the morning (okay, maybe not that long) thoroughly discussing them 🤣😁

Sisters are hands down the best co-conspirators. And the wee hours of the morning are the BEST time to talk all things WIPs, character romances, etc. 😀 🤣 I have a sister 3 yr. older than me and I’m so thankful…[Read more]

I actually wrote a research argument paper over this question for college. It was quite interesting to dig into. There are many speculations over it and just as many opinions, but I believe Sam is the Central Protagonist.

Wow, you wrote a research paper about it? I guess I better back down. You know a lot more about it than I do. 😀 Not…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Thanks so much for all the helpful info! I’ll definitely be checking them out.

@mineralizedwritings

Sometimes reading a good book where you can relate to a difficult struggle of the MC can help you understand something you went through.

Yes, very much so!

Honestly, a good book can feel like therapy when you need it. Not that we should go to books instead of God or therapy

Yeah. And no, but God can use good books to help…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness6

I misspelled the guys name. 😂 It’s by Michael W. Smith.

I’ll check out Come Unto Jesus.

@esther-c

I like the names you picked! And great mood boards.

Should be interesting… 😀

@godlyfantasy12

I’ve stayed away from Harry Potter mostly because the characters are specifically learning witch craft, from what I understand.

I won’t judge anyone who’s watched/read them though. Maybe they don’t see it this way. It’s just a personal conviction.

@mineralizedwritings

Thanks for starting this topic! It’s great that we can all share our thoughts as Christians and encourage one another.

Some people say, “Don’t write anything you wouldn’t let your little sister read.” I don’t agree with that, because there are some topics that need to be addressed but are not appropriate for younger…[Read more]

A song that describes a lot of my teenage characters is My Place In This World by Micheal W. Smith. I would recommend this song to ALL TEENS and young adults everywhere because it is so true and so relatable.

@lightoverdarkness6

I love this!! Each chapter gets better and better! You did really good showing the sibling dynamic.

Thank you so much! I’m glad you like it. Yes, I have seven siblings so writing about sibling dynamics comes somewhat naturally. 😀

That sounds like our house 😂. I love to draw, and my little brother is always drawing on my…

@lightoverdarkness6

Fun topic idea!!

So what first came to mind, was Everton. The song “I Ain’t Worried” by OneRepublic from Top Gun: Maverick is what really describes Ev’s personality, I feel like.

I will definitely be hang around on this thread, adding more later. 😁

@loopylin
I feel like magic is a term used very loosely. Most people have their own definition of it. But there should be a defining line between the magic God speaks against and fantasy magic in the mind of a Christian. Though some people are more strict on that than others and that is totally fine. 🙂

@freedomwriter76 @starofthenorth @felicity @koshka

Next, Albert Moore!

He was one the fun-loving middle children of the Moore family. Until the war breaks out. They live in the South and don’t agree with slavery. They plan to escape to the North… but before they do, Albert and his father are drafted. They has no choice but to accept. They for…[Read more]

@starofthenorth @freedomwriter76 @felicity @koshka

Ok!! I’ve got the moodboards!

First, Ethan Graham!

Being the first born son of the Graham family and having a younger brother and sister, he has a lot of weight on his shoulders. But his parents appreciate how responsible he is. When a war breaks out in between the North and South, Ethan e…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I think I have a pretty good mix of both.

Everton is extroverted.

Amidala is definitely introverted.

Corie is extroverted.

Tyrone is introverted, but in his story, he ran away from home, so he doesn’t have any true friends. 🙁😅

Personally, I’m extroverted around people I know, but introverted around people I don’t know.

@lightoverdarkness6

Glad you’re enjoying it!! I really enjoyed writing it!
The plot points are hard to pin down. That’s definitely something I’m going to tackle on the second draft. Thanks for pointing that out!
 

@everybody

These verses help to remind me why I’m writing and what I should be writing:

“The Preacher sought to find words of delight, and uprightly he wrote words of truth.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12‬:‭10‬ ‭

“My heart overflows with a pleasing theme; I address my verses to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭45‬:…[Read more]
