@elishavet-pidyon cool! You’re a good artist.

My brother was just re-reading the books. They’re really good, aren’t they?

@power you’re welcome!

also, your words to highscribe are exactly three, not one.

@elishavet-pidyon oooh I like those!

oh, and what’s your profile pic? Kinda reminds me of the rabbits from The Green Ember…..

@scoutfinch180

Yes, yes, yes!! Those are all wonderful questions that I definitely need to be thinking about! Thanks so much!!

I think it would be interesting if he was fighting as a Gladiator not because he wants to, but because it was his only option in some way — maybe his social class was too low for any other high-paying job? I also think i…

@power

I had a response, but KP ate it 😂

(And you might notice that I stayed out of Song of Solomon for some reason. . .  🤫😁 Now let’s hope you don’t come back with the tons upon tons of pro-marriage verses. 😜)

😂😊That’s okay. I’m not one to argue over scriptures, everyone has their own opinions, and that’s okay! I do believe wholeheartedly that…[Read more]

Snake

The doors creaked open. Carrie and the alien-with-colors [I don’t think he knows her name] had attempted to bust through, but apparently the inhabitants of the castle didn’t mind opening it for them.

A rather strange decision….He was new to this whole kingdom-and-its-ruler thing, but even…[Read more]

@theducktator awesome character lol

@stephie I get that.

and yes characters can be really frustrating sometimes……ughhh…..

Sometimes, you wanna stab one of them, but then you realize he’s already been stabbed before by someone else, and that really takes the fun out of it.

(I’m kidding, I don’t stab people for fun. Don’t worry.)

oh, and since I apparently remembered the quote wrong and it’s actually two separate quotes, here’s the other half.

ok so I’m sure literally no one is gonna care, but…….

(here’s the source of my forum signature, which no one really asked for but whatever)

@loopylin ahh ok lol

@theducktator haha you distilled my whole ranting story down to a few words. I also write because I love it. My characters aren’t just characters to me, even though I didn’t create most of them. It’s almost like my mind is the world they live in, and I’m just writing down what I see them do all the time (especially when I make up elaborate Lego…[Read more]

@grcr

Thank you!! 😊😄

@everyone

Ok guys, you have to check out this article.

It’s a guest post on @gracie-j ’s blog and it’s really good!! It kinda has to do with what we’re talking about… sort of… okay, I don’t know, but it’s really good anyway and y’all should read it! XD

@whalekeeper

Right! You have similar themes, you just don’t press into the theme as directly.

Yeah, that’s a good way to put it.

@freed_and_redeemed

Now I feel like I probably write more emotion than most of y’all here😂

Which is not a bad thing! You write them really well 😊 And I feel like your books, at least what I’ve read of them, focus m…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed @loopylin @whalekeeper @trailblazer

Y’all have made some really good points!! I like hearing all your thoughts on this topic. I honestly feel like there’s not a one-size-fits-all answer to the topics of preachiness and theme. They differ for each genre, each story, each author, and each plan God has for the authors and the…[Read more]

@loopylin Ack, don’t apologize! I didn’t really read all of your message when I posted, haha, so don’t feel bad at all <3

I actually love what you said…you put it in a very good and compassionate and understanding way, and I appreciate that💖

@loopy @whalekeeper

I’ve had a lot on my mind lately, and I’m trying to figure some things out in life…[Read more]

@whalekeeper I like the format, actually. It feels like spiraling, distracted thoughts. Probably wouldn’t work for many other characters other than Seb though lol

Eddie

Ellie locked eyes with Sebastian and stared, her face expressionless. Then she kept staring. And kept staring.

Eddie rolled her eyes. Ellie always did this whenever she was t…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Ahh I’m sorry I didn’t mean to stress you out at all! I just got excited because I love taking about philosophical stuff like this. This is why I typically try to keep my thoughts to myself, sorry

I didn’t feel attacked. I love hearing people’s opinions about this stuff. ❤️
