Yes I saw that! I posted it on another forum topic, but I can’t remember which. XD

@ellette-giselle

Wow, that’s crazy. But I like that as an idea to go off of. I probably won’t make it too drastic just bc I don’t want to take the story that direction, but that does spark some ideas.

Thank you!

@koshka

You can do this! It’s worth it. (plus, hey, we’re all in this thing too…writer’s are crazy)

Aww, thanks girl!!

I’ve…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Family friend, but yes. Dad knew him while he was in the military.

@linus-smallprint

Yep!

I suppose we could. I’m preoccupied today and tomorrow at least, but anyone can do it.

@rae @keilah-h

I will be on a week long vacation starting tomorrow. I am not sure how much of an internet connection there will be. But please continue when you feel up to it! If I do not reply within 24 hours, assume I’m out of reach.

On the bright side, it’s a quiet beach house and I’ll surely have time to write all day.

@linus-smallprint

Yup. Some people who attend my church fell into the Occult before they became Christians, and they blame it on Narnia.

Oh! Well. All the more to my point. There are book series that I, also, try not to reference in front of others too often because it makes them uncomfortable.

@hybridlore

Yesss, I love writing little kids. 🥰😂

@savannah_grace2009

Awww, girl that makes me so happyyyy 😂❤️❤️

@theducktator

Aww, that sounds so fun!! Those kinds of elevators are literally the besttt 😎

Heya, guys? Just want to point out the moderators were active over the past day or so. And I think I know what they were fixing. There’s a new “newest member.” Maybe they fixed the issue with making new accounts!

@linus-smallprint

Does your sister have an account now? If she doesn’t – potentially try requesting again?

@esther-c

I’m worried that I’m sending little messages that this sin really isn’t so bad or evil.

I really don’t think you have to worry about this unless the MC doesn’t face consequences.

Every MC lives with internalized beliefs, some right and some wrong, and if you’re telling the story from the MC’s perspective – they’re not exactly going…[Read more]

@koshka

That had better be utter sarcasm, XD

@ellette-giselle

WhAt??? Wacky theology? Really??? *Utter sarcasm*

Ugh yes. The Angel stuff is just…weird. and then there’s Drew’s senses things and the red light expirement…*shakes head in mild derision*

@koshka

Oh, okay then.

Those books are cool, but they also have a lot of wacky things theology-wise.

@ellette-giselle

Wow. Yup, Green Beret. He did die in the Middle East, but I don’t think it specified a place or operation.

@koshka

I KNOW! When I was reading that I was like, “No way! This is what happened to –––” Except I don’t think Drew Carter’s dad died in Dessert Storm. And was he Special Forces?

@ellette-giselle

That sounds a lot like Cloak of Light.

@esther-c

XD Well good! Glad it was helpful. Don’t worry too much over the whole “Gracious but this draft needs so much work” problem. You’ve already put in a ton of work and learned so much just to get to this point in the drafting process. You can do this! It’s worth it. (plus, hey, we’re all in this thing too…writer’s are crazy)

Just goes to…

@esther-c

Glad it was helpful. I have a possible idea for something that you could try for option three.

We knew a kid who was trying to go straight. His dad was Special Forces and died in Dessert Storm. His dad’s best friend was kind of a mentor to him tho and was trying to fill in as a father figure. None of them were Christian’s at this…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Your advice is so so helpful!!

And it drew attention to a weaker part of my book—my FMC identifying the lie she’s been believing and accepting the truth. That turn-around moment is a part I’m still working on, so you pointing that out is awesome. I think right now she’s just been living this lie without experiencing any consequ…[Read more]

And a meme about my project for good measure. It’s too accurate to not make. XD

I thiiink this is just a me thing but I made it anyway.
