Madelyn replied to the topic Writing out of chronological order? in the forum Plotting 2 years, 1 month ago
Yes, absolutely! In fact, I started to do this more recently and found it much easier to write that way. I haven’t tried jumping significant amounts of time (because lately, I’ve just written short stories), but I do find it incredibly helpful to allow myself the option of skipping the place that I have on my mind rather than…[Read more]

Madelyn replied to the topic You have the ability to read a book for the first time again… in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 5 months ago
Off the top of my head, The Chronicles of Narnia. I listened to the Focus on the Family version growing up (which was amazing), but when I finally picked up the books, I already practically knew them by heart. So, in a way, I never got to read it for the “first time” because I already knew the stories so well.

I would love all y’all’s input on this subject! Namely, what are some of your favorite Christian allegorical stories and what made them impactful? What parts drove to your heart? Narnia is definitely on the top of my list of Christian allegories, so i…[Read more]

Hey there, fellow Wingfeather lover!! It’s great to have you! Love your username 😉
Yesss, the ending of the Warden and the Wolf King was… intense. Honestly, I accidentally spoiled that *thing we don’t speak of* by reading this forum thread (though I wasn’t even a member of KP at the time), so unfortunately I…[Read more]

Ooh, that is helpful!! That’s something I do too–refer to WIPS by their acronyms. (Which is funny, because WIP itself is an acronym. We writers like our acronyms, don’t we? XD)

Madelyn replied to the topic Can't Reply in the forum Questions and Support 2 years, 6 months ago
That’s really weird!
The only time I’ve had that happen is when I leave the tab with my drafted response open too long. Could that be it? Probably not, though, if you’ve tried doing it all different ways
Lemme tag @kathleenramm, I think she’d be better at helping you out here 😉
