@Daeus amen. 🙂

@emma-flournoy Thanks 😀

It gives me a joy just to read that. I need to remember it more often. The problem is that I forget my purpose in life, and so any sort of failure seems like a defeat, but really, I’m just here as a tool, so I just need to do my best and God will make it worth while.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 @Daeus I’ll be praying hard for both of you. I struggle with depression myself not infrequently and I know just how low it makes you feel.
Daeus, in your own words—Depression is a result of worry. Depression kills your joy, and the joy of the Lord is your strength. When you’re not worrying, you’re stronger and nothing seems…[Read more]

@Christi-Eaton been there, done that. 😀

@kate-flournoy I do have to agree with @dragon-snapper 😀

And my characters are a lot the same way, I basically destroyed my character, Beck, both mentally and physically, before she found redemption.

@Dragon-Snapper wow— really? That’s… thank you! That’s a beautiful thing to say. 😀 Truth of it is, a lot of my characters are really messed up people living really messed up lives, but you’re right— even with people like that, I firmly believe there’s always hope. *grins* I guess that sort of came through unconsciously.

@kate-flournoy One thing I noticed about all your character drawings, is that they all have a sense of hope about them. 🙂

@Christi-Eaton I love her! I don’t have anyone that fits her, but I love the sense of personality you achieved. 😀

Alrighty, friends, I have a character up for adoption if anyone needs a face for a new character, or if she happens to look like a character you already have. I was trying to draw a different character but she didn’t turn out the way I wanted (with the exception of the tattoos she really isn’t anything like the character) but I still like it as…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 Kara. 🙂 Anywhere close?

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I’m sorry. I should have realized you were getting overwhelmed and slowed down a bit. When I get excited it can be a bit like drinking from a water-hose. 😛 If it starts happening again just tell me. I can slow down. 😉

Of course we can talk about Kara.

But first let me answer your question about plot vs. character. Which…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 @Daeus I will definitely be praying for both of you. Writing’s hard enough without dealing with isolation/depression.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 loneliness is not fun. I’ll certainly be praying for you.
@Daeus you too. I’m sure you’re doing great, and I mean that cuz I’ve seen what you can do.

@that_writer_girl_99 I really feel for you.

I’d actually appreciate prayer along the same lines myself. Not that I’m an introvert, but I’ve been having spells of depression recently. My problem is that I like to have my life planned out and know where I’m going, but as a writer that just doesn’t work. It’s hard to figure out what my next steps…[Read more]

@michael-stanton *chokes* *swallows hard to refrain from dying so she can find out the rest of the story* Yessssssssssssssssss This shall be good.

And you know what else? Just because we’re villains doesn’t give you the right to make us lose all the time.

*bows to @dragon-snapper* Wes is looking forward to this muchly, Precious.

@that_writer_girl_99 Awww, I’ll be praying for you. I was in the same boat once (still am, partly), but trust me, God’s got it all worked out. Remember, you’ve got your KP buddies backing you every step of the way. 🙂

@jess @jane-maree I’m signing out now. I wrote 1401 words. Thanks for the pizza!

@daeus Aha. If I wrote a time travel story, I’d likely have to do the same thing.
