@Overcomer I’m so glad you were able to make it through! I’ll keep praying for you.

@Overcomer That’s wonderful. I was praying for you a lot today. Yep, God sure is good. 🙂

@hope Got ya. That does make it more difficult, but it sounds like those physical consequences are exactly the right direction you want to be going in for that. 🙂

@Aratrea Right. Physical consequences. I keep picking themes/messages that are mainly internalized, so outward actions are generally good in and of themselves beforehand. Good, but with the wrong reasons behind them. It makes physical consequences (and before and after character actions) a bit tricky.

Thanks, @sarah-h , @emma-flournoy , @ethryndal . I played “I’ll Fly Away” and “Amazing Grace” at the funeral today. I was terribly nervous and made lots of mistakes, but more people than I can count came up to me after the service to thank me and tell me that they enjoyed it, so I’m glad. I wanted to do this for my uncle, so … I’m glad I did.…[Read more]

Yes; absolutely! Developing Experiments in Living for other characters is crucial to broadening your story’s theme. We will…[Read more]
