Butterscotch blondies? Okay, I’ll take one of those. *joins the outstretched hands* Do you happen to have any chocolate peanut butter no-bake cookies? I really could go for one of those right now. Not being ungrateful or anything. Just sayin’. No, don’t look so offended! I love your butterscotch blondies. They’re great. I just… like…[Read more]

Nothing much, just spying on Leon Fleming.

Hey, Your back. Where have you been?

I, too, think that this classifies as a historical fiction.

And yeah, since it’s a political novel about adults, I think it would be geared more towards adults. Whether the demographic is adult men or women depends on the content of the book rather than the main character. Since most of the books I read are about men, and I know some…[Read more]

Very well put @gracie-j ! I whole heartedly agree. It’s not necessarily the evil in the book that makes it “not Christian” but the light that the evil act is portrayed in. Making sure that the overall message in your story is good and Christ focused and that evil is shown as being indeed evil and has consequences.

I agree with about the beach! There is nothing like being in the middle of the ocean with deep blue water unfolding in beautiful waves as far as the eye can see. But however as much I like the ocean, I don’t think I’d be able to write there. At least not Florida beaches. In the summer the sand burns your feet and the water boils you…[Read more]

If your story has strong Christian themes, I would consider it a “Christian book”. The typical salvation story, like you mentioned, covers just one Christian theme: salvation through Christ. But that’s not all that the Bible teaches. The Bible teaches you how to live and teaches beauty and truth. If your book also teaches truth and living in a…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

Explain exactly? All right then.

A Crinkle Cookie is a is a baked or cooked food that is typically small, round and sweet. This confection is usually enjoyed around the holidays and it usually contains flour, sugar, and some type of oil or fat. It was invented by Helen Fredell in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Before baking, you lightly roll…[Read more]

So I was trying to get the Kingdom chef to add crinkle cookies to the menu, but he said he wouldn’t be able to add those to the cafe for another three months. 🙁 I guess you will have to wait for those crinkle cookies until sometime in November or December, then.

However, to make up for this, I decided to send some homemade crinkle…[Read more]

Yeah, the reply issue-thing is just the site getting too overloaded. Sometimes you have to wait a minute for the replies to load. Putting links in replies shouldn’t cause an issue, so I’m not sure why taking them out fixed it. But I have found that having good internet and browser helps with these…[Read more]

Hi  @lady-pendragon! (I really like your username btw)

Here are some of things you can do to get involved:

Why didn’t I think of Agatha Christie?! I’m sure that there are tons of writing lessons I could learn from her. Writing mystery novels are not what you would call my strong suit. Not by a long shot.

I am ashamed to say that I have not read the Silmarillion yet. Though I intend on reading it as soon as possible. My brother as been…[Read more]

@michelle Sorry for the delay, But here are my thoughts!

I like how each of the friends, Freddy, Eddy, Al, and Hilda all have unique personalities. I love it when kid’s books have good friendships. I also liked how each chapter had its own little theme, and I also liked the humor!

My biggest critique would be that the stories are much more K…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Love the way you put that. One of the most unique things about being human is the ability to create, and to glorify God through art.

Oh, and I never got to tell you my thoughts on your web novel! It was awesome! It wasn’t like anything I have read before, and although it was short, the friendships and emotions hit. The…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

I also enjoyed the LotR much more. I liked the Hobbit, but it was definitely geared more towards children. Not a bad thing, I just prefer more serious books. So I do like the LotR more than the Narnia series as well, but if I had to only choose one author to be a student of, it would still be C.S. Lewis for the reasons I said in my…[Read more]
