@sleepwalkingmk Good set of answers there. I might slightly alter the “family/parents” answer to focus more on the value of family than an un-nuanced approach to obedience, though. Whether you choose to always obey your parents or not seems to be a different issue than if you view them as the most important thing in your life.

How would you…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 welcome to the club. 😉

Remember, my dear— if it’s plot that’s got you down, let the characters take over and write the story for you.
If it’s discouragement and doubt… let God. He can write a story, remember? Surrender is easier said than done, but once done it’s so worth it. Because as long as it’s your story you’re…[Read more]

@Aratrea dah! I would love this but my webcam camera setting is broken and I don’t have a phone. 🙁 🙁 🙁

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I say no more than I mean and mean no less than I say. 😉

Worked with you I have. To know I ought.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 hmmm… yes. Writing can be a ticklish business. 😛 As always, I’m here if you think there’s anything I can do to help, but I really do have faith that you’ll be able to figure it out on your own.

@Timothy-Young errgg. *comical grimace* I’m sorry, force of habit. 😛 EiL stands for Experiment in Living— a term that now dominates my thematic brainstorming because of KP’s amazing Theme Mastery Course they released recently and that absolutely changed my life and that every serious writer ever should always and forever get and learn from…[Read more]

@Winter-Rose yesh… you did… XD Don’t worry. I’ll start a topic for it when it’s ready and then anyone who’s interested can put their names in. 😉

@WinterRose yesh… you did… XD Don’t worry. I’ll start a topic for it when it’s ready and then anyone who’s interested can put their names in. 😉

@Gabrielle yesh… you did… XD Don’t worry. I’ll start a topic for it when it’s ready and then anyone who’s interested can put their names in. 😉

@timothy-young Like others mentioned, I think that’s a hard FQ to make work for a historical event. The question Daeus put down (“what is poetic justice if good people are so often punished?”) may work as a much better FQ for that story! If I were writing about that event, I would probably focus the story on the problem of evil and what it mea…[Read more]

@Timothy-Young welllll… considering that the whole point of storytelling is that it mirrors real life, trying to assign your own interpretation to a historical event for the purpose of making a thematic point can be dangerous. My advice to you would be, don’t try to fit a real event into a pre-existing framework, but study the event until you…[Read more]

Now now girls. *wise look* Let’s not sabotage the thread, here.
@GracieGirl @Ethryndal in all matters regarding my story, refer to my agent, @Emma-Flournoy. 😛

Beautiful artwork, everyone.
And can I just say I’m extremely pleased that the artsy side of this community is getting such good development now? Carry on, wonderful pencil-wielding KeePers. 😀

@anne-of-lothlorien The answer is always yes. 😉

Well, here it is… I wrote it a while back so it’s not entirely current anymore, but it’s pretty close. 😉

Exile is a terrible thing.
But Harold chose it.
There are many things about his destiny he doesn’t understand. Why he, a prince, should have been accursed with a strange gift that left him a monster in the eyes of the world and d…

@GracieGirl those are adorable! I love the watch— how long did it take you to do all that detail? 😛

@Mariposa Uncharted. 🙂 I have a sort of blurb thing for it if you want… though I’m really bad at blurbs, just warning you. 😛

@Dragon-Snapper *even sidelong-er glance* I might in a bit… I shall be starting a topic when I do… The same book Hope made the collages for. 😉

@Dragon-Snapper wellll… *sidelong glance* Do you like beta-reading?

Good point @Daeus; I hadn’t thought of it in reference to that scripture.
