Goose sounds amazing!😂 Legos are so fun. I have a lego guy by the name of Christopher Cornelius who has a car that is basically a box on wheels covered in random pieces, including propellers, antennas, and flowers. His poor daughter is so embarrassed.

We know God created the word Good, but maybe not its meaning, because He used it before anybody else existed.

So I’m not sure what exactly your getting at here. Are you asking if Good as a concept existed prior to God’s first use of it in Genesis? If so, I’d say yes.

Since the bible says that the requirements of the law are written in our hearts,…

Oof, I’ll repost

@esther-c

That is such a good article! I especially love what she said about darkness and brokenness being so prevalent in fiction nowadays. I see this in teen contemporary books especially. The characters all have dysfunctional families, get drunk, are cruelly bullied, tragically lose family, etc. I want more Penderwick-type adventures, but with…[Read more]

@grcr

Thank you!! 😊😄

@everyone

Ok guys, you have to check out this article.

It’s a guest post on @gracie-j ’s blog and it’s really good!! It kinda has to do with what we’re talking about… sort of… okay, I don’t know, but it’s really good anyway and y’all should read it! XD

@whalekeeper

Right! You have similar themes, you just don’t press into the theme as directly.

Yeah, that’s a good way to put it.

@freed_and_redeemed

Now I feel like I probably write more emotion than most of y’all here😂

Which is not a bad thing! You write them really well 😊 And I feel like your books, at least what I’ve read of them, focus m…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

I think your post was eaten. It says you posted, but I don’t see it.

@freed_and_redeemed @loopylin @whalekeeper @trailblazer

Y’all have made some really good points!! I like hearing all your thoughts on this topic. I honestly feel like there’s not a one-size-fits-all answer to the topics of preachiness and theme. They differ for each genre, each story, each author, and each plan God has for the authors and the…[Read more]

It’s been two weeks, and profile pictures still aren’t working. 🙁

@whalekeeper I like the format, actually. It feels like spiraling, distracted thoughts. Probably wouldn’t work for many other characters other than Seb though lol

Eddie

Ellie locked eyes with Sebastian and stared, her face expressionless. Then she kept staring. And kept staring.

Eddie rolled her eyes. Ellie always did this whenever she was t…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I have been stalking this topic, trying to figure out why I write, and the best answer I could come up with is because I love it. (I know, so profound.) I love my characters, I love watching them interact, (especially when it’s awkward), I love how most of them insult each other, yet love each other very deeply. Most of them have s…[Read more]

@loopylin

We sang it at church too! All the verses. By the end my throat kind of hurt.😂 It was worth it though.

@freed_and_redeemed

Ahh I’m sorry I didn’t mean to stress you out at all! I just got excited because I love taking about philosophical stuff like this. This is why I typically try to keep my thoughts to myself, sorry

I didn’t feel attacked. I love hearing people’s opinions about this stuff. ❤️

Ok I’m jumping in here cuz this looks fun and my tiny brain is experiencing thoughts hi

@freed_and_redeemed @whalekeeper

(i understand if you write just for fun, but if you’re actually wanting to write for God, this is something more along those lines…)

Ok, so, I don’t think there’s a difference between a Christian writing for fun and writing f…[Read more]

@theducktator

Heyy I love that song! We sang it in church today as a congregation. It was fun :]

@keilah-h thanks!

hehe uhhh I was trying to respond to Whaley, but none of my posts were going through, so I just started goofing around. It’s from Alice Through the Looking Glass. I didn’t actually think that it would post 😅

@keilah-h

Mkay, sounds good

@keilah-h

It was under Music, and I posted Saint Patrick’s Breastplate, my dad’s favorite hymn, in honor of Saint Patrick’s Day. I tried to edit my post, maybe Wyoh didn’t like that.
