@elishavet-pidyon Thank you! I’m glad they were both helpful to you!

Aw, thanks! It’s good to be around! I can’t keep up much (it might help a little if I changed my KP email address so I get notifications to an email I check more regularly… though that wouldn’t help with the obstacle of busyness, lol), but I try to pop in when I have time and…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Oh, that’s a great article! Thank you for sharing. It gave me several ideas. (As did your article on false religions, which I read right after that one.)

Also, it’s so good to see you around here again!

@whalekeeper

Well, everyone made theirs much less complicated than what I was thinking, so I’m glad I waited. lol. I think I basically agree with what the others have said. I do like a first person narrative, if it’s well done and really used to contribute to the texture of the story.

I also think that not every style that’s technically “wordy”…[Read more]

We’ll see if KP lets me post the link or not, but I actually have a blog post all about how to approach the creation of allegorical/pseudo-allegorical religions!

How Should Christians Write About… Allegorical Religions?

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

Y’all are terrible. 🤣

@whalekeeper

This is a great topic! I’ll have to think about it though.

By the by, I don’t see duplicate posts. 🙂

@freed_and_redeemed

I might just try this. I’ve been wanting to do a music challenge for a while.

I already know one of them! (cue groans from my siblings who have to bear with me crying every time I hear it now. XD)

Ah! Faithfulness. That’s the one I was trying to remember. XD

@the_lost-journal

1. What are your thoughts on Jesus having siblings? I believe that Mary and Joseph were blessed with kids (three sons and daughters, if I remember correctly.) They would technically be Jesus’s half-siblings.

2. If you could visit one of the holy sights from around the world, where would you go? And why? Holy sites? The Western…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Oh goodness, this kid is so awfully oblivious. It’s a handkerchief! XD

Leo

Rummaging through several junk drawers produced a thin foam pad, two unsharpened pencils, an old knit shirt, and one hopefully unused ace wrap from a questionablely dated first aid kit.

“Let’s see what we can do for that knee.”

He knelt in front of…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Why thank you. He’s come a long way.

Leo

He slipped his handkerchief into Rory’s. The work fridge down here had a case of water bottles. Leo got one, opened it, and set it on the small table by the couch.

“I’ll get a few things tied up and we can go.”

First, to message Liko and Silvia. He set his glass tablet down on the…[Read more]

@theducktator

Exactly. XD Although, I’m really glad to look back at my old stories now. It’s great for a few laughs.

@ellette-giselle

You’re welcome. =D

Leo

His eyebrows rose. The church?

“Alright.” He wouldn’t question it.

“We can take an early lunch break in a few minutes. Or we can go by after work. Whichever you want.”

He’d message Liko and tell him he had to leave early. And he’d send a number over to Silvia to let her know where they’d be.

The kid…[Read more]

I have often said that the first story I “wrote” was a picture book about a fairy that looked like a banana peal. I was between 6-7 at the time, I don’t remember.

My actually “written” stories include several I wrote for school, and some I wrote just for funsies. I found a folder of them recently, and laughed till I cried.

One was about a girl…[Read more]

Leo

He took Rory’s hands in his own, forcing him to stop cutting his palms.

“Rory, you’ve been carrying a lot of things on your shoulders. What you’re telling me–that was wrong. Horribly wrong. But it’s not your fault.”

He pulled the kid into a hug like he was five year old Quincy. Rory was shaking.

Leo sighed, and began to…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Poor kids indeed.

Leo

He sucked in a breath through clenched teeth, and slowly let it out. He was not cut out to be a counselor, alright.

But he was a brother. Leo pulled a handkerchief from his pocket.

“You haven’t let yourself grieve, have you? When did this happen?”

@whalekeeper

XD

@whalekeeper

Bwahaha. YES.
