Not this year. I’d like to, but time is not my own.

@esther-c

Yay!! I’ll be joining YDubs too! Still a KaPeefer at heart, but I do want more professional feedback and stuff seeing how I’d like to publish mainstream.

The Saboteuse — C. S. Lewis

Pity hides in the wood,

The years and tides,

The earth, the bare moon,

Death and birth,

The freezing skies, the sun

and the populous seas

Against her, one and all,

Are furiously incensed.

They have clashed spears to drown

The noise of her tears;

They whetted swords. Still

They cannot forget.

Her faint…[Read more]

Been relying on psalms for the last few days of chaos, but at last, I’ve made it here to post a favorite poet and couple poems.

The Late Passenger – C. S. Lewis

The sky was low, the sounding rain was falling dense and dark, // And Noah’s sons were standing at the Window of the Ark.

The beasts were in, but Japhet said, ‘I see one creature more…[Read more]

Lol. I about died when she came up with it. Poor Dwogin, doesn’t know what good food is.

A long trip. XD We’re going to help out some missions friends in Europe for several weeks. We might be spotty on here for a bit.

Alrighty! I’ll bug her to come up with something.

I know this is dreadfully late for a response, but I just saw this. I hope you’re doing better.

Eating disorders are a real struggle, especially as they’re not usually obvious until things start going off kilter.

Oh glory. Dad.

Thay was a little bit of a gutwrench. Beautiful. Really beautiful.

Thank you for sharing. I’m going to screenshot this and save it to my phone, if that’s okay.

@theducktator

COOL. Is it vintage or reconstructioned/repatterned? What type of wool?

@ellette-giselle

WhAt??? Wacky theology? Really??? *Utter sarcasm*

Ugh yes. The Angel stuff is just…weird. and then there’s Drew’s senses things and the red light expirement…*shakes head in mild derision*

@ellette-giselle

Wow. Yup, Green Beret. He did die in the Middle East, but I don’t think it specified a place or operation.

@ellette-giselle

That sounds a lot like Cloak of Light.

@esther-c

XD Well good! Glad it was helpful. Don’t worry too much over the whole “Gracious but this draft needs so much work” problem. You’ve already put in a ton of work and learned so much just to get to this point in the drafting process. You can do this! It’s worth it. (plus, hey, we’re all in this thing too…writer’s are crazy)

Just goes to…

And I would like to throw in something that might be totally unrelated to what you’re dealing with, but it was a bit of a shock to me and had me seriously rethinking how I address certain topics in my books.

(Warning. Mentions of suicide.)

In my recent Psychology class we discussed aproaches to suicide awareness, and the results were mildly…[Read more]

@esther-c

This is a very good question.

But I suppose it comes down to what the reader sees is going on and what the character sees–and those don’t have to be the same. In this case, shouldn’t be.

I’m in the middle of rereading Screwtape Letters. One of the letters tells about how that sin has pleasure attached, and how that pleasure actually…[Read more]

Yay! okay, y’all. Expect to see another instalment by the end of the week.

welp, let’s see it this one goes through…

@loopylin

Yes! That would actually be really helpful. XD

Oh, I know. Me too.

Okay, I’ve been thinking about starting a challenge in January to read a poem every day. It’s something I’ve seen elsewhere as a way to help develop smoother, more lyrical prose.

I’m thinking that if you don’t have a good poet on hand for the day, a psalm will do. And there’s no penalty for missing a day, just a challenge to see if you can get in…[Read more]
