@dragon-snapper Awwwwwwe 😀 😛

@graciegirl Yep–been there, done that myself! And I agree. Sometimes you can get away with stories that have little meaning if the story itself is really well-executed (Force Awakens would fall into that camp for me), but even then, it only works because it has some meaning, and 9 times out of 10, the story would be improved if themes were more…[Read more]

I would just like to make it known that I had ice cream with raspberry syrup tonight. 🙂 I thought of you all. 😛

@Ethryndal of course.

Hey guys, I have a prayer request. An older man my brother works with recently had a stroke, and it looks like he’s not going to make it. I don’t know the details, but I think part of his skull had to be removed and it messed with his brain, causing significant damage. He’s in a coma now. He is not a Christian. If you all could pray that he will…[Read more]

@Mariposa *gapes* C…colored p-pencil???????? *gawks* W.O.W. 😛 You are truly talented.

Hi @Mariposa! *wrings your hand vigorously* Nice to meet you and your dinosaur. And yes to the Creation scientist stuff!! We’re of the same mind. 😀 Ever been to the Creation Museum in Kentucky? With several loud moving dinosaurs in the lobby?

@Mark-Kamibaya I feel honored. 😛

That’s pretty cool stuff, but I am so busy right now I’ve hardly even had time to get on KP. Oh well. So, y’all have a good discussion. *bobs off*

@Winter-Rose I bet!

@Mariposa welcome to the Kingdom! 😀 😀 😀 Dinosaurs are fascinating. I prefer dragons myself (as you can see, I am one. 😉 ) but dinosaurs are the next best thing.
And your art is really good. What medium do you use?

@sleepwalkingmk Looks like you’re at the right place then if that’s your goal. 😉 Being able to spot it in books is a great first step. That should help you make a lot of good connections as you move through the course and can compare what you learn here to what you’ve seen in those books.

Welcome to the site @mariposa! Awesome artwork. :O And I love the Spurgeon quotes. Are you still working on that second dinosaur book or are you already planning your next work?

Awesome! Glad to have you. (And your dinosaur, of course. Sounds very handy.)

@dragon-snapper I’ve heard about it. Is there a trailer yet? I have mixed feelings about the books, but I want to see the movie if they do it well.

… After skimming over this, I’m beginning to think that cliches are just paradoxes.

@mark-kamibaya Thanks for putting this together!
“The literature of the human species encountering change.” I see why this caught your eye. I never considered Sci-Fi that way. Really, I always thought it was a fiction of technology and extraordinary things. Star wars kind of thing, if you know what I mean. 😛
But certainly, just writing s…[Read more]

@hope @kate-flournoy @jess @bluejay @christi-eaton Did anyone else see that they’re making a Ranger’s Apprentice movie?

@Mark-Kamibaya I know. 😛 One tiny bit over the limit and my brain is guaranteed to be fried for the rest of the day. XD
Hey, it’s all good. It wasn’t irritating; or if it was I didn’t notice. I’m not thin-skinned enough to be irritated by other people’s strongly stated opinions. 😉 Perhaps I should be more sensible of that… 😛
Share it with us…[Read more]

@winter-rose Weird cats are the best. How old was she?

Some Christian sci-fi books I can personally recommend are The Robot Wars series by Sigmund Brouwer, and Cloak of the Light by Chuck Black.

I don’t really have any tips that I can think of, @emily-d …
