@daeus I’m totally going to do something like that. 😛

@jenali Fantastic question. Secular stories can definitely have a theme just as much as Christian stories, and I think you’ll find that often the best secular stories out there are those that have strong themes.

I would distinguish secular and Christian stories on two fronts: with regards to the depth of their themes and with regards to the…[Read more]

@hope Nice! I like that a lot then. You do a really good job of weaving both Experiments in Living together in a way that, at least on paper, looks like a good, gradual transition.

@anna-brie That looks much better. And yes–the important thing is that you have it settled in your head. Some themes aren’t as easily analyzed in this format, but it sounds like you know where you’re headed, so all of that looks good.

@jenali Yeah–that looks great! I particularly like the contrast between moral strength and the strength that…[Read more]

@jenali Yeah–that looks great! I particularly like the contrast between moral strength and the strength that only God is able to provide. Moral strength is probably the most tempting answer to Christians, but it is definitely true that the only way to find enough strength is to rely on God’s strength.

@graciegirl Progress is always better than a step nowhere, right?
*bows* Glad to be of service.

@graciegirl I’ve finished my poem, and the editing of it, so I’m going to stop now. How’d you do?

@graciegirl I full heartedly agree. 😀

@daeus Coolio, thanks for writing!

@dragon-snapper Lol! 😀 This place is awesome.

@graciegirl Great!I forgot to mention, that whenever we leave, we post the progress we made and say our farewells (if you want to 😛 ). That way no one keeps writing for a million years waiting on the next Tolkien for a progress report. 😛

@graceigirl Great! whenever you leave, just tag us and post your progress (if you want to 😛 ). That way no one keeps writing for a million years waiting on the next Tolkien for a progress report. 😛

@dragon-snapper Thanks! That’s a really cool idea. I’d love to join for a little bit. I have some writing I want to get done that I’ve been shirking all day.

@graciegirl Basically, the Writers’ Corner is a thread where someone posts when they are writing something (anything) and someone else can see that and write at the same time. Daeus and I are writing at the same time, and it gives us an accountability factor. Protection against dilly-dallying on the internets and stuff like that.
Want to join?…[Read more]

@daeus or @dragon-snapper I’m curious, how exactly does this Writer’s Corner work? What are you guys doing?

@daeus Great!
…though I’m using the term ‘copyediting’ freely. I wrote something on paper and I’m typing it and editing it at the same time. 😛

@daeus @kate-flournoy @northerner @winter-rose @ethryndal @anyone else I’m going to be copy-editing (or something like it) if anyone would like to join.

@Kate-Flournoy This is gonna be fun!! Are we allowed to submit more than one?
In any case, here’s one: Finding yourself stranded on a dark country road, you suddenly see lights appear in the distance. You approach cautiously, and after some time you come to an old fashioned train station. Boarding the train you notice there’s no one on board…[Read more]
