Welp, I’m from Indiana too.
We have a lot of Amish half an hour away and awful roads.Well, hi. I’m here and I’m late (here, that’s soooo shocking)
And here’s a thought that’s a spinoff of that thought. It’s generally better to focus on one message per book. If you’re going to bring an atheist character to salvation, you probably need two books or a series of books. Why? Because if you try to tackle both God’s existence and God’s salvation in the same book, you’re going to end up more than a little crowded.
Use one book to establish one point— and if you want to go full spectrum, write as many books to the series as you have points. This will allow you to fully explore as many concepts as you want to without rushing your character’s conversion.I love that! I wish there were more allegories that the character din’t change book one.
Welcome to Bag end, Mossflower! May the force be with you! Ummmm….. You might want this, it is iococane (Yes I give out poisons) It is recommended you get an immunity against this stuff. Look out for strange gifts, here, have a platypus, strange people, oh, wait, never mind, it seems to be a little late. If you have questions I’d love to help…..
I think you may be assigning Satan far more power than he actually has. Above all, Satan hates God’s light. When we shine that light on him and all his doings, there is nowhere for him to hide. When we are cowed and timid and afraid to speak of demonic things, or write of demonic things and show them for what twisted, hideous blackness they are, we grant Satan asylum in our fear.
I (Me, myself, who I am) think (My opinion, not necessarily correct) That we need the dark creatures.
Why?
some day, at noon when the sun is out, flip on your lights. What happens?
Even if you flip on all of them the room will not be much brighter.
Now, it is dark out (When I am writing this at least.) If I were to go outside and light a match, what will happen.
It’ll get quite a bit brighter.I think we need the dark to contrast with the light.
IMHO most Christian writers are too squeamish and do not put in enough dark. Most secular writers are not, but they hate the light! (Jesus himself said that.) So we have dark books, and bright books, that I find preachy.
What is better? The light.
What do we need? The light.
How can we see how “wonderful and warm, so beautiful and bright” the light is?The dark.
We need dark. We need the contrast.
To give a message, we need both.
All our writing needs to have a message. Am I correct?Or [ strong] (no spaces) and [/ strong] and the same thing with I think emp or italic I don’t remember that one works too.
When your little siblings write fanfics of your books
Laser=light
You can estimate (with math) how far the light @ this power @ this frequency will go in *list materials*
Light will spread, It is it’s nature, lasers just stay more in line but it will still do it.
So yes, it is realistic.Would Chewy be so neat if he said “There is not enough headroom”?
We love him, and understand “GAAAAAAHHHH!” means that^ Because of body language.
I think that is another thing that makes Starr Wars good.You know you’re a writer when you’re on two different forums, and each has this exact topic…
Exactly.
When you are at camp and have more writing utensils then the rest of the cabin combined.Currently, both sides carry a mix of what we’d consider regular weapons with ‘hard’ ammo (though they are faster and stronger) and laser guns (which really are a thing nowadays…in my book they are better and more expensive than the other weapons). I’ve abandoned the idea of plasma guns, because they aren’t realistic, but do you have any other ideas or suggestions?
*Heddesk* There is a gun that the government was testing during WWII I think where the bullet could go faster then the speed of sound for quite an impressive distance, basicly you take a big thing and hit a smaller thing that hits…. and on and on to however small you want to go, the bigger the first thing an the smaller he lat thing, the faster it would go. It was abandoned for obvious reasons. Perhaps the people in your story could have figured out what we were missing.
I forgot about that. Holograms. Now here’s something interesting. We already have a kind of hologram fake thing, but I have a friend (very honest) who told me his aunt created a real working hologram that actually projects a 3d light image in mid air (Speaking of limiting light to a certain space, this might be the next step towards light sabers). I have a lot of trust in this guy so I’m going to go ahead and assume that holograms (real holograms) can actually be made. What then? Very simple. They will develop a way to have the hologram image display up to a few feet away from its actual source. What will then happen is the hologram projector will be formed into a belt buckle with a computer attached and implanted into the rest of the belt. Upon voice command, the computer will turn on and the “screen” will appear at about an arm’s length from the person’s face. There will also be a highly sensitive hand sensing radar device (they have already invented this) that will sense fine hand movements which will register as controls and allow the person to operate the hologram computer with just hand signals and voice command. The “screen” will of course stay in the same position relative to the viewer as the viewer moves about.
Holograms are a thing, just finicky and glchy and problematic.
