And no, you didn’t come off as rude!!! Talking to people with different beliefs and opinions actually helps me strengthen my own as well as understanding other points of view, so thank you so much!

And I’m sorry if I ever came off as rude hahaha

@ellette-giselle

Prayer really is important. God has given us this gift, we should ask Him to help us use it.

I completely agree!!!!

I also pray about EVERYTHING…like asking Jesus to help me pick out outfits or other random things lol

@whalekeeper

I totally understand how you feel *cries*

No matter how cringy it is, sometimes it is better…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Ok, interesting to hear your thoughts! I won’t discuss it any further because I’m not on here to argue, but thanks for taking the time to reply!

I second that!!!! Thank you for answering my questions and giving me something to do lol!!!!

@linus-smallprint

Last I counted I was at 69 full length novel drafts.

Yeah, I do four drafts, then share, then do more.

It’s how I write so fast. Most people I know do the steps of draft 1-4 while they are writing, which tends to slow them down and cause them to lose interest.

@linus-smallprint

Oh this is really cool!

You should try it with the cover!

@grcr

Woah!!

Watching your style change over the years is such a fun thing as an artist!! It really shows how you improve!

I love your style, btw. Your characters are always so interesting!

@theshadow

Hmm, It’s hard to know when I don’t know the story, but I would say that right now all you need to focus on is getting draft 1 fully on paper. From there you can go back and make changes/rewrites/connect things/etc.

That’s my tip. Having the whole story there helps you see the big picture, and it’s much easier to work off of the…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

my poor traumatized boy.

@raxforge

Haha! Sounds good.

@hybridlore

I will! So far there’s not much… but we just started the story. Don’t worry, I’ll let you know. Right now I’m just chaffing because it’s not Tuesday.

@koshka

I’m good with morning. You’ll have to wake Rory up because he’s dead out.

@whalekeeper   @loopylin

I also debated the ‘could actually kill you’ because could he actually? My sister said Rory would pop emotionally before killing anybody. (Not meaning he is weak, Ellette, just that he wouldn’t do it.)

He’s killed several times.

We don’t talk about that.

@whalekeeper

Here I come to the rescue!!!

lolololol.

Okay, so I have a process. (I was actually just explaining this to someone)

So, before I ever begin to write I pray. I write down the idea in my prayer journal and say, “Lord, here’s my idea. If you want me to write this book, give me the rest of the story” and He does.

After that,…[Read more]

@koshka

Okay, so we’re going to wait for it become day?

@koshka

Do you want a description of Rax and Ben?

@koshka

Alright! Sounds good!

@koshka @ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

Do have an idea of where I may insert Rax and Ben somewhere? (Don’t worry Ellette, I’ll make sure that Rax doesn’t burnanate everything XD)

@rae

Oh my goodness! I love that!!

I must have it! lol.

@raxforge

Oh dear. That’s hilarious!

@loopylin

Want a picture of him? (It’s when he’s older in the actual novel that he’s in.)

@koshka  @whalekeeper

Rory

Rory curled up, letting his face disappear under the comforter. It was warm and soft. Unlike the military blankets he was used to. He wondered if this was what clouds felt like. Then he shuddered. He knew what clouds felt…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

I don’t think @the_lost-journal was saying that the teachings of the saints are superior to the Bible. I think he meant that they were another source of instruction.
