Yes @sarah-h, that’s one of the most important things about writing. Writing anything, not just something you’re not sure about. 🙂

Oh! Oh oh oh, I remembered something else I was going to say. There’s a way to take an ending that would be completely bitter and add an element of sweet into it without reducing the bitterness.
I’m thinking specifically of one of my own novels here, but there have been countless others to employ this tactic. ToTC, to name just one.
The trick is…[Read more]

Okay @Daeus I will grant you those are all very valid points. I actually do agree— the ending of tLotR really doesn’t have near as much meaning by itself as it does if you read all the trivia and history and world-building that made that departure significant. Which is too long to go into here… 😛

A good example of the bittersweet (actually…[Read more]

There are no words for the awesomeness of this topic @Daeus. I can finally unload. *rubs hands, chuckles evilly*

Actually don’t worry, I don’t think I have just tons and tons of stuff to dump off on you yet. 😉

Just a few points for now. The first being that it has to be unexpected. It has to be in some way different than the reader was…[Read more]

Hehehee we were posting at the same time! 🙂 That’s awesome— nice title.

@bluejay I got 809 words of editing done— not too good, but not too bad either. 😉

Yep @bluejay that’s good for me!

@bluejay me! I’m in!

Hello @winter-rose! Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet! (*cough* It’s kind of a competition between the old forumers such as myself to see who can be the first to greet the newbies with that line. 😉 )

Oh wow, you play piano! So do I— what kind of music do you like best? And what do you most enjoy drawing? What style do you draw?…[Read more]

Good point, @writefury. I agree.
It’s always nice when you can break things down into smaller categories. 😉

Ha! I just read my first chapter and my last chapter. *choke, cough, laugh* Yeah, I’ve come a long way.

*contented, nostalgic sigh* Doesn’t it bring such a feeling of accomplishment, @Daeus? Now imagine if we all grew that much with each passing novel! That would be totally… um… freaky actually. Eventually there’d be no more room to grow… !_! 😀

@hope the more I think about it, the more that makes sense. Thanks! 🙂

@Daeus I will. You may be sure.

Hm… I’m not exactly sure, actually @Daeus… I always got the impression the Holy Spirit was more of a justice/judge type… Your definition definitely does seem to fit better. It’s not a huge theological cornerstone of mine or anything. 😀 I’ve not even studied a lot on it. I’m going to be once I get to where that actually gets important to my…[Read more]

Hm, for my allegory (yes, I do allegory as well, what a small world it is! Hahaha… 😉 ). I don’t go very deeply into the actual physical character of the Trinity— a voice in a whirlwind would probably be the closest I’ve come at this point to actually giving God some ‘screen time’. (That sounds awful…) 😛 Mostly it’s theory— urgh, no,…[Read more]

Oooh, good topic @his-instrument! I have one thought that I think sums it up pretty well— ‘By their fruits you shall know them.’
Do your dragons save? They are then portrayed as saviors, not evil pagan gods. Do they devour? They are indeed evil, though not necessarily pagan. It is what they do, not what they are, I think. It’s one of those…[Read more]

Welcome to KP @his-instrument! It’s so awesome to meet other writers excited to write for The Kingdom! What genre do you write? What genre do you most enjoy reading?
