Welcome to the site @that_writer_girl_99! Have you read Batson’s Sword in the Stars series? That’s my favorite series he’s done and, in my opinion, probably one of the best works of Christian fantasy out there. What type of science-fiction do you like to write?

@that_writer_girl_99 Sure, so is the question how to plot, or something else?

@aratrea Speaking of books and themes, have you read The Ball and the Cross by G. K. Chesterton? I started rereading it part way through this course and the theme…! Every single conversation and interaction all relate back to the theme and focusing question and experiments in living. I love the story and the philosophical arguments and all, but…[Read more]

That’s great to hear. 🙂 I will be sure to let you know if there’s anything else you can do to help us out on that front! Putting these principles into practice in your writing is a great first step to take. Have you thought much about which resources you may want to use when you want to study this topic more?

@audrey-caylin That’s awesome–glad to hear you enjoyed it so much!

Yeah–that’s definitely a real challenge. And I would tentatively agree that some of it has to do with the individual reader. However, I think when you look at stories like Brothers Karamazov, Speaker for the Dead (written by a Mormon, not a Christian, but it portrays believers…[Read more]

@audrey-caylin Sounds like a plan. I like using one major theme for a whole series. How would you say that the theme of truth interacts with the theme of forgiveness in this book?

What @audrey-caylin said. 😀 Incorporate all I’ve learned into my future novels.

I also want to study the books I read and movies I watch to practice figuring out themes and experiments in living. Basically, lots of practice on the writing end, lots of analyzing on the reading end. And occasionally rewatching a course video.

@jane-maree @daeus Well, I’m signing off for now. I planned 11 chapter/sequences.

@that_writer_girl_99 Howdy! Or, “Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet” as we like to say.

Hello again! What genre do you like to write? What are some of your favorite books?

@that_writer_girl_99
Welcome to the bestistest place in the internets, (more formally welcome)! It’s great to have you here!
Ooh, I play guitar too, and I’ll probably be playing with my youth group in the next few months, which I am really excited about. What songs do you like to play?

@that_writer_girl_99 No problem! Always happy to help!

@that_writer_girl_99 Well, what I did for my last novel and what I am doing for now is start out with the three main points. Beginning, Middle and End. As I go, I’ll get ideas for scenes, and jot those down on a separate piece of paper. Then, over the course of a few days, I plan the book out by scene/chapter, the basic things that happen in that…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper @jane-maree I’ll join you till nine!

@that_writer_girl_99 Oh, hi! Nice to meet you! *shakes hand vigorously* I’m planning out the scenes in my next novel.

@jane-maree 😛 Excellent. Writer’s of the world, untie! 😉

@daeus @kina-lamb @audrey-caylin @jane-maree @winter-rose @graciegirl @overcomer @kate-flournoy The hour of writing/planning has begun.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 Yay for you! You should hop over to Start Here and tell us a little bit about yourself. 😀

Luke is my oldest sister’s favorite character too. 😉

@Hope Oh yum, thanks. *gobbles*

@Daeus Wow. That is really neat.
