I like the thought of the Holy Spirit as the army general! @Kate-flournoy and @Daeus, I have always thought of God the Father as the Judge, and Jesus as the Intercessor/Advocate. But since they’re all one, I guess they’re all parts of the role of Judge… if that make sense at all.
Don’t we serve an awesome God? To have Judge, Intercessor,…[Read more]

Thanks everybody! @bluejay, I love the book Frindle! And we should totally make bestistest an official word. @ingrid, I do remember you from TeenPact, and @Daeus, Go Ohioans indeed. (O-H…)
@Kate-flournoy, my favorite genre to write is fantasy, which also happens to be my favorite genre to read. @Hope-ann, that is exactly the reason why I…[Read more]

Is anyone up to trying a fifteen minute challenge? @kate-flournoy @daeus @faithdk @anna-brie @adry_grace

616. How’d you go @kate-flournoy. I got a story finished and have started the fifth start in my Chaos adventure series. 🙂

@kate-flournoy Yeah, wouldn’t that just be fantastic. I think I’d completely stop editing by my fourth book. It really does give a good feeling of accomplishment. I was kind of impressed with my scene setting actually, but the pacing was bad, and the conversations were bad, and I used too many adverbs, and my opening paragraph was way too boring,…[Read more]

Great. I can actually do half an hour if you are up to that? @kate-flournoy

Is anyone write for 25 minutes? @daeus @kate-flournoy

@winter-rose Welcome to (I’ll say it, even though @kate-flournoy and @bluejay beat me to it) the bestistest place on the internet. You’re going to love it here. 🙂
Awesome, I love fantasy, too! What are some of your favorite books? (I say “some,” because asking a bookworm to pick one favorite book is like asking a mother to pick a favorite child. XD)

Welcome @winter-rose. *bother, @kate-flournoy beat me* Well, I guess I’ll say it anyway. Welcome to the bestistest place on earth. *Don’t bother looking up this word in the dictionary cause it won’t be there.
Toothless would be an awesome pet to have. It would be so much fun to fly through the air…

I’m generally an artist who tries to draw, a…

Awesome thoughts, @kate-flournoy!
Just adding a bit on top of that…
Usually there are two types of hero: The eager hero and the reluctant hero.
The eager hero inherently drives the plot along much faster, but generally jumps into the situation not fully knowing the dangers or effects of what he’s doing.
The reluctant hero normally stars in more…[Read more]

@his-instrument Yes, a dove isn’t very epic. But what about a phoenix?

@kate-flournoy I just completed a theology class with a part about the Trinity this last winter… God is three in one. The different tasks, for lack of a better word (such as salvation and judgment) are attributed to all three persons of the Godhead at different times or…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Have fun

huh @kate-flournoy, why the Holy Spirit as judge? I tend to think of Him as a teacher/companion type. “My Spirit I leave with you …” “He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all things …”

I would think of the Son as the Judge. It says something about that somewhere. Humph. Why can’t I think of that passage? Oh well. It’s…[Read more]

‘I hammered into Google
‘Christian writing teens’;
It brought me to this awesome site—
The website of my dreams.

Excitedly I clicked the link,
And had a look around.
I eagerly perused the forum
And squealed at what I found.

I made myself a member
Without a second thought
Sometimes that ends in trouble
But this time it did not…’

First we ate ic…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy. That’s awesome that your editing is coming along so well. I know with my novella I felt much better about it after I edited it, and that was just the first round. It’s comforting I can give it a third or a fourth round or even more until I’m satisfied. I find that as long as I haven’t been to engrossed in my story recently, with…[Read more]

Yes, @kate-flournoy, Characters, characters, characters. They drive the story; some things happen independently of them, but it’s there reaction which keeps the story moving.

@kate-flournoy Yes, I agree with this so much. {Or, as @spradlin would say “gives many thumbs up.” 😉 } Great point about the smallest personality traits affecting the character’s decisions.

Agreed! Spot on, @kate-flournoy. 🙂
