@ann-of-lothlorien that. is. so. accurate. hilarious! 😉

@dekreel that is sooo funny! That last one of Josiah kinda made me laugh and lean away at the same time. 🙂

Hahaha!

@dekreel I feel so sad that you’re feeling this way. I used to feel the same way. What I was gonna say is basically what dragon-snapper said. Our identity is in Christ, not our writing. If God gave you a passion to write, then write. If you’re not looking to get published, then write however you want. Just give it your all, and nobody can ask more…[Read more]

@dekreel Amen, sister.

I wonder when I’ll stop doing that. Because I’m always doing it. Sometimes, I make myself higher than others, and sometimes I have to bury my head in a pillow.

*instead of petting you, offers you a non-melted chair*

Just remember, that God made you unique, special and loved. Writing does not become your identity. It’s…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong
Wow… that is a hard life. 😛 One of my characters used to be like that… no wait, there still are some.

(Of course! Once I edit those, but I’ll probably want people who’ve already read the first book. @dekreel You too)

@dekreel God’s writing a story right here, right now.

When I’ve doubted and struggled (which happens all the time), the only where I can turn is to my favorite (and, tbh, sometimes least favorite) author and say, “I trust you to write this story till its final, marvelous end.”

Now that I’ve done the popular thing and given the best advice I can…[Read more]

@dekreel This topic is two years old, back when Sarah was still with us.

@supermonkey42 Can’t remember exactly. It was either lack of involvement or I didn’t have enough time.

@rochellaine aw, I can’t join you this time! will you be on Monday?

Oh, one more question. Do you prefer the ending lines:

“Awestruck to see that in dark the lights dance”

or

“Awestruck to see that in night the lights dance”

???

Thanks everyone! @emma-flournoy @ariella-newheart @rochellaine

I think I’ve got it now. I’ll come back to this a few months from now to see if I can make any small improvements, but I think it’s generally solid. 😀

@daeus Thankee. *bows* Well, I tried incorporating small ‘good’ things and it’s been a lot let dismal lately. I think I just let Ike gnaw on dismal’ness’ for too long. XD

@sarah-anson I really like the italicized bit you said there. *nods* I agree. Thanks!

@warrioroftherealm *salutes* Awesome!

@christianna-hellwig @rochellaine @emma-flournoy @that_writer_girl_99

Thanks so much for your suggestions, everyone! Here’s what I have now.

“Oh, stars that remember the firstthings forgotten
How earth and its peoples were early begotten
They looked and beheld through a pane of dark glass
The earth in a swirling, untamable mass
From darkness f…[Read more]

@christianna-hellwing I really like books by Chuck Black, Robert Treskillard, and Douglas Bond. in the way of movies, I like the Marvel movies, the newer version of Karate Kid, and other action packed movies.

@christianna-hellwig Thanks so much! I’ll take a look over this as soon as I get a chance.

@emma-flournoy Ha! Well, we’ll see. I’d certainly love to.

@emma-flournoy Sure, here’s one. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oV9qnLtpy4Cwn8-JFfJaXzOn4A5-yqRBR-AqlFIyYdk/edit?usp=sharing

Yeah, song creation and all that. I probably should have come up with something more original, but in my defense the song creation is the basis for the whole magical system, the last book’s allegorical aspects, and the…[Read more]
