Lemony Snicket…
I was thinking about his books when I was trying out the first chapter. But anyways, I think he really did go through a tragedy in his life before he wrote those books… Beatrice… -

Hm.. I’m not really planning on saying outright that the story is based on Christian life now in the book itself. So I guess it’s more of symbolic elements like you said I guess, @daeus.
Yeah, I think a lot of the things I want to add may depend on whatever else is going in too.

@salome01w4g @dragon-snapper @emily @shannon
UPDATE: thanks to those of you who were praying for my sister. Unfortunately, she went to the doctor yesterday and they said she has mono. Please pray that the rest of us don’t get it and she would have a fast recovery! Thanks again. -

@xonos-darkgrate I think the youngest person we have is 13–that’s how old I was when I joined but then time happened so now I’m older…. XD

Surprising isn’t it? Heh, heh.
I think it’s interesting anyways. Why? Is there no one here that’s younger than that? -
Joseph Darkgrate replied to the topic My New Fantasy Book Idea and Endeavor in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 8 months ago
Yep, I’m planning on adding a bit more to the origin of the magic in this story, but thanks!
Actually, how about the Holy Spirit? God promised that it would be within us once we became Christian. Do you think that that works?

Yes, most say that I’m pretty smart for my age. O_O
I’m still in the double digits though, if that’s what you were thinking ha… -
Joseph Darkgrate replied to the topic PRAYER REQUESTS #2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 8 months ago
Well, I’m actually younger than that, but I get what you’re saying I think.

Hey guys! Just as a new thought, I wanted to say something.
I think this story can be a bit more allegory-like. I’m definitely planning on writing more if I can finish this one. Anyways, I think that the different “bad guys” throughout the series can represent different challenges and enemies we as Christians face today since the Wielders do…[Read more]

Okay, in regards to @catwing ‘s questions,
I changed some things. The power isn’t expressly forbidden, but you can’t really have it in “full power” until you choose to accept the role. (Christians / Christ)On the other hand, many would rather selfishly serve themselves or even the Devil himself and harvest the same power but on an opposite…[Read more]

Also, do you think I should add some romance to the story? The Mymar twins aren’t really young in the beginning unlike the start to the Harry Potter stories. I think that they would already be older than 16 or even higher. But I’m making it a point in the stories that they look younger than they should for some reason.
Anyways, I’ve ALSO read up…[Read more]

Hm… @daeus, I considered that and it didn’t seem as strange in my opinion. Satan himself used to be one of God’s chief angels so I don’t think that it’s far off that he could be using the same form of power for nefarious uses.
Other than that, would it make more sense that “magic” in this story is more like a power made by God and used by the…[Read more]

@ethryndal *shivers* She looks fun to write. Her collage just makes me think “blood”. 😉
@dragon-snapper Well done! I love the picture of the trees.
@daughteroftheking Very cool! I’m guessing the ladybug has some significance? -
Joseph Darkgrate replied to the topic My New Fantasy Book Idea and Endeavor in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 8 months ago
Okay, so first. I’ve considered the storyline I’ve been making, and the concept of making an allegory, so I thought I’d just drop the act and admit that it’s more of an allegory than anything else.
So… I’ve made a few changes to explain things better and to fit the Bible more!
1. “magic” in this story is really God’s power. But when others…[Read more]

Hey guys, thanks for all the opinions! I can’t really reply to all of them today so I’m going to try my best to say as much as I can tomorrow. Anyways, thanks for all the advice and I can’t wait to show you some edits I’ve made.
