and just life updates too if y’all want!!

(I may be late responding, but I promise I’ll respond at some point😅)

and AHEM @whalekeeper

How are Marcel and Seb and all of the babies?? 🥺 I have to know

I honestly need a writing/world/character update from all of y’all XD I’ve been so absent, and I need the updates. 😂 idk who to tag, but y’all know who you are👀

And thinking about how I used to say/think every story had to explicitly state God…I’m so glad that has changed, because it has made the Christian writing world even more beautiful than it already was.

@whalekeeper

Yes, so true! What we go through can make or break us. It really depends on how we deal with the hard things happening around us and to us, and how much we rely on God vs ourselves.

and I love what you said in response to @rae

I think there’s a place for stories that present the Gospel, but also stories that may not necessarily…[Read more]

(I’m going to have Leon/Riker vaguely remember being here before, but it’s up to you as far as Crosshair goes, Keilah 😉)

Leon

Light crested down, in a direct line into his gaze. Leon groaned and rubbed at his eyes. Where was he? Cold stone walls…cold stone floors with mere…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

I think I like writing things that can be dark because it’s relatable. I find that some of the Christian places I’ve known in the past aren’t willing to deal with the idea of intense hardship. I mean most of us live in a developed country, have access to food and water, and don’t have any kind of life threatening persecu…

I so wish I could share the Marvel edits I made with y’all 😅😭

@ellette-giselle Just a friendly reminder that a book can glorify God without explicitly stating Him. :3

I used to believe the same thing, and it’s totally ok if that’s your personal conviction and I’m not here to argue, but as I’ve grown and met other Christian authors who don’t necessarily mention God but still show aspects of Christianity,…[Read more]

@rae I love Chase!!! 🥰🥰 Great job!!!

@keilah-h

I had a forum where I offered to draw people’s characters, but it kinda died. 🙁

We could bring it back to life!

@keilah-h

Of course!! You can draw as many of my characters as you like!! One of my favorite things is seeing people’s drawings of my characters.

@linus-smallprint

It’s very good, but the whole reading fantasy seemed like you started to go into it and then pulled back and skirt5ed the whole problem. I feel like if it’s going to be there at all it needs more. At the moment it feels kinda like “Why?” If you have nothing more to say on the matter, I would consider cutting it.

Also, the fact…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

I don’t think that will be too much of a problem. Aaron has stepped into a sort of parent roll with the children. (All of the young adults have.)

but seems you are heading in the direction of Aaron and Sabina getting married and being parents to Joseph.

So it seems.

@whalekeeper

Do you title your chapters or number them, by the way? Cuz I’m divided on the subject. I never read chapter titles for some reason, and just go in blind, hehe.

I actually do both. In the last book I published there was just numbers, and this one has titles. So yeah, it all depends on the story.

@keilah-h

Thank you so much! This is great.

@whalekeeper

Aw, Root is cute.

Mixed feelings. On one hand, it’s not too bad, on the other, who would name their kid after the thing that a carrot or potato is!?

You could shorten it to Moko? I think that’s a surname. That’s probably too different.

I looked it up. It appears it has both feminine and masculine meanings, but I don’t like the mas…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Is formatting tedious or do you enjoy it? It sounds kind of fun lol. Like rearranging your room.

I really enjoy it! It’s the editing that can get a little tedious. The formatting is the fun part.

@whalekeeper

I completely disagree. But, that is just my conviction, and we don’t have to get into an argument. lol.

If you take God out, there isn’t any truth. Just saying. (and ESPECIALLY when it comes to finding peace and happiness.)

@theducktator

I LOVE THAT ONE!

Ok, here’s one that’s not about writing, but still super funny.

@keilah-h

You have all day tomorrow and some of Thursday to do it.
