Thanks for the steps, I will use them while discerning, especially number 2. My book idea is one that is set in the middle ages, and originally it was to be set during the Black Death. Over time, however, I think this might be the thing I was stressing over. I was convicted over how dark that time period was, and how I might not be…

I am assuming we all see God in our works and in our daily lives. When I said we glorify him just by eating and drinking, I meant that as believers, we know where the food comes from. So we value it differently than some people would, but we don’t need to THINK about where it comes from 24/7, we just believe it. You don’t have to thi…

also, you can take all the writing breaks you need! I’ll be here for whenever you do have a chapter ready for us.
Thanks!

Just had an idea. Rour has been frustrating Alan for a long time. Now that Alan is beginning to realize that The Law is in the right, he will let out some anger at Rour, justifying it by saying R…[Read more] -

Just call him Alan.
Okay.
Hmm, Well, I would have him talk to his dad about how he’s going to cover up hi9s wrong with his good deeds. Then his dad could explain why that won’t work. I think from there that would set the stage from Alan to mess up. Here is a scene from a movie that I really love that deals with that perfectly. It…

Gah! I knew it! Ugh. I’m just so at a loss in how to step forward in this part because I have NO IDEA how a guy would be thinking during this time, and I have chosen top write the book from Aaron’s perspective!
I’m sorry, I can’t help you much here. I’ve never done this. Maybe you could ask your dad?
Hmmm, Are there any scene tha…

I do understand your concern. I have written a whole essay on this topic. I have five things for you to help you consider if what you are writing aligns with God’s will.
- As I was telling Whaley, and as Ellette was saying, do a goal check. It is okay to write a story because it is fun or because you want to thrill your readers, but…

I was reading your post, and I’m sorry to say, that while I do agree with some of what you said, there are other things I disagree with.
We’re already his children and we glorify him just by eating, drinking, and existing.
In a way this is true, God uses everything to His glory, even when we sin. And yes, we should definitely avoid s…[Read more]

Linus Smallprint replied to the topic Mini Adventure Ideas? in the forum Plotting 1 year, 8 months ago
That was entertaining. Here is an idea inspired by when I visited Penticton, BC this past summer. A brave duck was approaching people for food and savagely devoured any Doritos it was fed. Here is photographic evidence. This one got within a foot of me.

So how about, In Which Linda Takes Over the Beach’s Supply of Doritos?

It was a long week of prayer before Aaron spoke to Sabina about the idea of marriage. Sabina was very surprised, but Aaron had never seen her so joyfully since her baptism. She asked for time to pray and talk with some of the woman in the church and Alicia. Aaron agreed at once. Two weeks later, Sabina had her answer. She had…

I should let you all know. Starting next week, I will not be able to write as much. Not only am I starting three post-secondary courses, but I will also begin a part-time job (finally). I also have learned that I am now the main teacher for my Sunday School class at church, so…[Read more]

Wow! That was good!
Thanks!
I liked this!! I don’t know if I mentioned this yet, but when you refer to Alan as “the soldier” it kinda throws me, especially since 1) he has a name that we know, and 2) this is something you kinda just started.
I’m trying not to overuse his name, so I throw in some other things to call…[Read more]

Ah okay. I didn’t mean upset as in angry, I meant upset more as in annoyed mildly, so no, you didn’t seem overly cross or anything at us.
