Pray about it, Hannah. Ask the Lord if it’s okay with Him. We can tell you what we think, but what you really want to know is what He thinks. Seek Him, and ask Him to show you if that’s something He wants you to do, or not. And if you’re getting a check/ feeling unsettled about doing it, don’t ignore that.

Welcome, Hannah! It’s so great to meet other writers who are excited about writing for Jesus! Good for you. 🙂

Useful Tip 1: We just started a book discussion club under the Books forum, if you want to join in.

Useful Tip 2: If you do this : ) without the space, you get this 🙂 .

I thought I had more, but I can’t think of anything else right now…

@Hannah-C So we may now refer to you as Dutchess Razzmatazz?

@Anna-Brie – Thanks for the summary! That sounds really interesting; I’ll have to find it again and read it.

I’ve read Animal Farm. (It’s free on iBooks, to whom it may concern.) I was very intrigued with the allegorical aspect of it; I want to be able to write like that, so I’m looking forward to the discussion. Good pick, Daeus!

@bluejay– You forgot frozen raspberries.

I vote accordingly:
1. Chasing Vermeer
2. Fiddler’s Gun
3. Count of Monte Cristo

@Bluejay– What is The Witch of Blackbird Pond about? I’ve always avoided it because of the title.

I vote accordingly:
1. Chasing Vermeer
2. Fiddler’s Gun
3. Count of Monte Cristo

The only book I can think of right now is The Count of Monte Cristo. I haven’t read it yet, but I really really want to.

@Daeus — Ooh, I’d love to be part of this! Only thing is, I won’t be able to participate in any of the discussions on fantasy-type books, but if that’s okay… I’ll participate in as many others as I can to make up for it. 🙂

Some houses have little swinging cat doors as part of the back door. You could have the family forget to latch it, or maybe, if they just moved in, they are unaware that the door exists.

Does that help?

@Hannah-Olsen — Kidnapped is a fun book. I should read it again sometime… Are you still involved in mission work? You said you’ve been to China. Is China still hostile to Christians?

Welcome to the forum, Hannah!
Wow, you’ve traveled a lot. What was it like? Which country was your favorite?
Historical fiction is my favorite genre, too. Which Robert Louis Stevenson novel is your favorite?

Speaking of pictures, @bluejay, you look like a movie star. Is that from Beyond the Mask?

Wow. That. Was. Awesome. Cobalt is definitely my favorite character.
My two cents…
Something went wrong in this sentence :

He was wearing an old, baggy, blue hoodie tied around his neck, boots with too long of laces, filthy jeans and a few mismatched accessories.

Also, Acker’s comment sounds a little stilted here:

“What . . . what do you…[Read more]

@overcomer – You could ask @Hope about it if the guidelines aren’t clear. I think she’s over 21. And if you can’t publish your writing on KP, you could still (I think) post it on the forum. I know I would love to read it. 🙂
Maybe we could create a special topic for writers who are over 20…

@Christi-Eaton — I can’t wait to see more of your artwork. 🙂

@Daeus, That’s the one by K. M. Weiland, right? I have not read it yet, but I probably should. I’ve been reading her series on character arcs, and it has been very helpful.

Hi Christi!
Your profile picture is amazing. And that’s the first one you’ve done? Wow…
I know what you mean about having trouble coming up with stories. I’ve been analyzing my novel attempt, and I finally realized that I only have characters and setting. Zero plot. No story whatsoever. I’m still not quite sure how to fix that… 🙂
And again,…[Read more]

@Bluejay — I’ll be praying, too. 🙂
