@aratrea What am I going to do next…. You mean besides never reading or watching anything the same again? 🙂 My plan is to read books with a little more closer inspection to see how they do theme. Did they do it well, if so, what worked? And if not, where could it have been better?
I will also plan to attempt to take everything that I have…[Read more]

@aratrea Ooooh, I agree, Method #2 does sound more like the story I have. No, you have not misunderstood, I think you have understood better than I did. 😛
The focusing question for my major theme of acceptance is what can you do, what does it take, to earn acceptance?

Wait just a sec, the introverts partied while the extroverts were gone?!?! I think we need to mark this day in the calendar…… XD

Gotta pause. @jess

I am writing in my story, so I shall join you! @jess

@northerner I am so sorry! *hands you ice cream* Food really does make everything better.
Been there, done that, except it was an application instead of story words. Story words is worse!
May you get lots of inspiration to make up for that!

I have been terrified of writing explicitly Christian fiction for a long time. I have seen it done wrong so many, many times that I pretty much just shied away from it altogether and just focused on writing stories. This lesson has definitely helped me get over that fear. It was awesome! Step five, the one on prayer, was probably the most helpful.…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper The extrovert’s are badly outnumbered….
Lets see, if Daeus is dictator, Christi is secretary, and Dragon Snapper is the head of security, I shall be director of marketing. For Daeus’ plan we shall need a department for that.

@feedingmygoldfish ‘Inspirational teddy bears’. *snickersnickersnicker* XD Thank you for the explanation, makes much more sense now! See, being an extrovert, I tend to come right out and ask all of those ridiculous questions, which seriously hinders the whole looking intelligent thing. 😛 🙂
Ah yes, the “mom look”. What’s scary is when your…[Read more]

Do I, or do I not have multiple themes in my book? Of course I do.

My Primary Theme is Leadership.
My Major Theme is acceptance with a minor theme of love that goes along with it.
All of my themes connect together using method number three. The theme of acceptance deepens the theme of leadership because to be a truly good leader you must be…[Read more]

@aratrea Hm, yes that is true. I hadn’t thought of that. That the short stories have less space to develop characters.

Sigh, I always forget this part….. The story’s theme is the importance of family and good friends. The minor characters either support this theme and have good relationships with the protagonists, like good friends and…[Read more]

@feedingmygoldfish Same, not a tomboy, but definitely a book worm. And yes I am an oldest and my siblings say I am bossy. 😛 🙂
@theliterarycrusader @ethryndal So, what makes INFJ’s scary and ENFJ’s not so scary? I am an ENFJ and I have never been told that I am scary, though people have told me that I am intimidating…..

One of the books that I can think of that did multiple themes really well is The Sword the Ring and the Parchment. Its primary theme is trust, with major themes of salvation, assurance of salvation, and growth in Christ. It also has minor themes of the importance of the Word of God and prayer.
All of the themes intersect well with each other…[Read more]

@feedingmygoldfish Oh, I love the title for your post. 🙂

@feedingmygoldfish First, welcome to Kingdom Pen! The greatest place in the interwebs!
Second, another lover of Little Women! Hooray! I used to think that I was most like Meg, but lately I am beginning to realized how much like Jo I am. So now I think I am a mixture of both (if that’s possible).

@that_writer_girl_99 This is true, extroverts do tend to chat. 🙂

That is scarily well thought out @daeus….. Well done! I like how it focuses on making friends, I doubt introverts trying to takeover the world would think of that. 🙂 😛

@dragon-snapper I am very aware of the lack of extroverts in the writing world in general….
Or we could threaten to kill beloved characters, only saving them if we are given control of the world banks. (control the money, control the world)

@dragon-snapper Thank you!
