@Daeus *shocked eyes* What, you— you love TCoMC??? Wow, I… who would have ever guessed?!
Hey, rambling’s great. By all means. Ramble away.

Oh, I didn’t answer the question did I. 😛 Hm. Um… living and watching and thinking? Basically? *grins* Personally, my imagination is a huge help. If I can put myself through their backstory and figure out who they are because of it, I’m good.

AAAAHHHHH!!!!! I LOVE THIS COURSE!!!!!
*stuffs herself in the closet and muffles screaming in the nearest pillow*
I don’t even know where to start. Just… I guess I can sorta sum it up by saying I am completely mind-blown by how extensive and detailed this course is. Not only that, but also ORGANIZED IN A COHERENT MANNER. With examples and…[Read more]

@daeus Lucky you. I have so many books on my shelf, just staring at me, waiting. It’s not fiction (though it reads like it) but have you read God’s Smuggler by Brother Andrew? I highly recommend that book. Or Uncle Tom’s Cabin? Debatable historical accuracy aside, it is a fascinating book.

@Daeus It could work fine, but I still like Dire Recompense. The ‘dire’ adds in suspense, and we don’t know if it is dire for the character, for those recompensed, or for all involved, so it doesn’t give anything away either (while still hinting at the final end).

@Aratrea that’s true. I guess that just goes to show how important perspective is.

@Daeus I love that one. My vote goes for that.

@Daeus I agree. Great points.

Les Miserables. 😀

Theme: justice and mercy.
Focusing question: which one triumphs?
Message: it’s justice that makes mercy necessary.

Hmm… those are slightly different than the format of the others you shared… and now my brain is tickling… I wonder…
Oh yes. This was that idea— I’ve thought about this some already. 😛 It seems to me…[Read more]

@Daeus… LGK? ‘Little Green Kate’??? *hysterical chuckling* I like that. :”D

Excellent font choice, by the way. 😉

@Leumeister I love the title, though it might be a little too metallic to show up well against your background, and as far as I can tell with your experimental models, the actual cover looks like it’ll be well laid out. It does seem a bit too dark though, and besides that maybe a little uniform. There’s nothing really eye-catching about the cover…[Read more]

@Daeus I like it. A lot. I would tend to agree that the silver subtitle does look best.

Oops @Ethryndal *ducks head* But I thought it was good she even had an idea, considering she’d had writer’s block for a long time?

And that’s true what you said about forcing names. I’ve never done that, but I’ve had to change names before, and let me tell you it was not fun. I referred to her as Lily for months after I changed it, just cuz it…[Read more]

@aella I have a Dell and like it… I’m afraid I don’t have much to offer.

@S-G-Dewey hm, I’m best with wayyyy older names, but I shall see what I can think of… Francis. William. Laurence. Alexander. Oliver. Douglas. Richard. Martin. George.
I’ll let you know if I think of anything else…

And congratulations on defeating your writer’s block! *cheers*

Same here. For me, life IS the story, and since life without Christ is not complete, it stands to reason a story without Christ is not complete either. So it’s a matter of learning to see reality through the correct lens and put it down just as it is— death, life, despair, hope, sin, God, and everything! 😀

And I’m currently feeling like all my…[Read more]
