Those are wonderful reasons. Writing can be a way to glorify God and help others, while also strengthening and healing ourselves.

Have these two things always been your reason for writing, or did it become that later on?

@daisy-torres

That’s awesome! Do you and your cousin live close, or do you plan it out virtually?…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms

So cool! I’ll definitely consider joining! The prompts that you chose would be really fun to write a short story about!

@scripter-of-kingdoms Ooooh! I haven’t been able to do any short story contests this year, so I’d love to do this! Thanks for sharing!

@scripter-of-kingdoms

I know it says “Topic of the Week” but it’s really more like “topic that i post once a week but, you know, reply whenever you want” but that title is a bit long so I stuck with the former title. XD

But anyway, pulling a prank on Damias for the soul reason that you’ve never had a “near-death experience before” is brilliant.…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver How exciting! Thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely check it out 🙂

@e-k-seaver

Oh wow, Congrats! I checked it out and the cover looks amazing!! So professional!

I’m totally going to buy it once I get back home where my credit card is.

Again, congratulations!

@elfwing

It wasn’t too long at all! Your answers have made me see even more how wonderful writing can be. It’s pretty amazing all the things writing can do. I think writing stories is even more fun and healing than reading them.

@daisy-torres

It’s pretty dope right? Being to write all the stories that you wish existed. I mean it’s not easy and…[Read more]

@elanor

Ooo, I really like that answer. Sometimes it can be really hard to communicate verbally. And when you do, you rarely get past the shallow stuff. But with writing, you can cut out all that nonsense and get straight to the point. I think writing, whether that be in stories, poetry, or song lyrics, is one of the best forms of…[Read more]

People said that I should use tree sap instead of tar and feathers.

Even though it was a fictional comedy, and I was like 8.

I’m still salty.

@sparrowhawke

This poem makes me think of a particular person in my life. Our relationship has been really complicated and recently some terrible things have happened causing me to only be able to have shallow conversations with them despite me knowing them my entire life. I have so many things I desperately want to ask them and tell them, but…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms

Yeah, heavy themes can be really hard to write well.

But I do really like the ending of your story with the hero scarifying himself at the end. It makes the theme hit so much harder. I barely know anything about your story, but I can see how the theme and character arc might feel half-hearted without him sacrificing himself…[Read more]

@sparrowhawke

Favorite time period? Hmmm… Probably the ancient time period. I definitely would never want to live in that time, but there are so many cool things to learn (and steal for writing purposes) from.

What’s something from history that’s given you a memorable story idea?

Well, I guess I usually come off as pretty quite, introverted,…[Read more]

@elfwing

That’s really interesting! I don’t think I’ve ever experienced that.

I’m not sure if you want any tips on ways to maybe help you be more critical of writing, but here’s some thoughts I had that might help.

Sometimes when I’m reading a book and want to use it as a way to improve my own writing, I keep a notebook with me as I read. On…[Read more]

@jodi-maile

Percy Jackson was actually the book that got me into reading!

And I’m with you on the History subject. For me I think it really depends on the history book and whether or not they focus more on the people or on dates and basic events. When I started reading history that focused more on the actual people and their lives I started…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

I’ll definitely will be checking those out!

@ribbonash

That’s so interesting! 1st person POV has always been my favorite and still is, haha. What books changed your mind on first person POV?

@anatra23

Yeah, I had the exact same experience with books I had to read that were part of a school curriculum. Still to this day they…[Read more]

@nanisnook Welcome back! Yeah KP can make me feel guilty too…but I recently started working on a short story so I feel a bit better about it now haha

Honestly, I might just go back (if you’re working in a Word/Google doc) and put some comments in the places where I want to add those ideas. But if they are huge things that affect everything in…[Read more]

@sparrowhawke Haha yeah I just really like history, I don’t actually know how I got interested in Japanese history–it’s just kinda been something I’ve always been enthusiastic about learning XD

Electric bass was super fun, I could mostly play rhythms and I was in a very small band for awhile, but I’ve never played electric bass for a crowd…[Read more]

@sparrowhawke

Hi! It’s awesome to have you here!

I love TOP as well! My favorite album from them would probably be Trench. Fun fact, my family used to live in Ohio and my sister went to school with Tyler and Joseph from TOP for a few years.

She remembers passing them in the hall but they were never friends. When I was little I remember her…[Read more]
