@Rachelle Human, elf, or dragon? 😉

Excellent choice, Lord of the Rings. Ever read the Silmarillion? (I ask because I’m currently reading it and need support…) What do you like to draw/paint? (And while we’re on the subject, is it drawing or painting? I’m an artist too, I appreciate this kind of thing. 🙂 )

@aratrea Ah, okay. My sister pointed out the left-field thing as well. I’m spending some brain juice on it. I’ve got a rough catalyst for Mash #2, but I’m going over that one also and trying to make it more…catalystic.

@aratrea Wow, this sounds cool. Either the 24th or the 25th will probably work for me, but I’m pretty sure the 27th won’t, unless I’m blessed with a miracle. 😀

@ethryndal Looks good then. Two recommendations. The first would be to make sure that she’s being shown her resolution paradigm that God gives people worth all throughout the character arc even though she won’t accept it till the end, just to make sure it doesn’t come from out of left-field but flows naturally from the story. The second would be…[Read more]

@audrey-caylin Shoot. I forgot you couldn’t time-travel like me. February 24th and 25th will have to do then. 😉

@jenali Those are good thoughts. Figuring out how characters would react to situations that aren’t in the book is a great way of exploring their more extreme emotions and getting a better grasp on their personality.

@jenali Good set of experiments there. They normally should be similar to the answers to your focusing question, so that’s no problem here! Great depiction of what it looks like when you try to endure without God’s strength. Like I mentioned with Audrey (see my comment to her post to read my full explanation), you’ll want to also consider the…[Read more]

@ethryndal Great thoughts, and I absolutely agree. Since James 1:2-4 is accurate for our Christian lives, we should be applying its principles to storytelling as well.

@audrey-caylin Every time you use that book, you remind me that I really need to read it. =P Great work!

Whoa @Ethryndal that could get crazy. *grins* Thank you.

Of the thirteen blank, sterile white doors in the blank, sterile grey wall, one was painted a soft shade of creamy yellow. Pasted in ugly xs all across it were strips of yellow tape marked DANGER. DO NOT ENTER.

This should totally be a children’s book. With the right illustrations it would be perfect. I love it. As Emma pointed out, a few errors as far as punctuation and spelling, but otherwise it’s lovely. Good work, @R-J-Wordsmith.

@R-J-Wordsmith Ooh, I like that. It’s nicely short, but you still made it interesting and fit the story in.

*sniff*

I’m not sure I caught the meaning of the ‘condemned’ sign though; she died, but I don’t know any better than the mailbox what the sign means. 😛
Also I noticed a few missed words and letters, and punctuation errors—several…[Read more]

Hello and welcome @Rachelle! Do you play any instrument? Have you read Les Miserables?

that if my work can impact just one life for Christ, I’ll have succeeded.

@R-J-Wordsmith Yes.

@R-J-Wordsmith It’s good. 😉
