@rae Oooh it goes right into the action!

Here’s some feedback for the first chapter:

“He lost it after his battle from earlier, from which he’d gained the wound on his neck.”

I don’t know why, but mentioning the neck wound here feels rather abrupt. I’d think maybe move any mentions of his injuries to the part where talking about his jaw…[Read more]

@rae I don’t have a job…..?

@rae

I’m not very good at critiquing (at all) but I can still read them and give any feedback I can. Sometime. Probably not today ’cause I have work.

@rae

I have work today, but I’ll try to read this as soon as possible!

@rae awesome!! I’ll do it tomorrow for sure!

@rae  @linus-smallprint @grcr @mineralizedwritings @keilah-h

Okay y’all! Here I go.

So one thing would be Friedrich is not left-handed, but I never specified that so that’s on me. His hair isn’t quite a wavy as I pictured, but otherwise he’s pretty spot on. I like the boots, though not quite the style I was thinking of either. Your shadin…[Read more]

@rae

Alright then!!

@rae

Am I getting an updated drawing from you, or would you like to use the one you already submitted?

@rae

So, as I said, I’m just debating the opposite side from you, so I most likely do not believe what I’m saying.  In fact, I’m personally more inclined to agree with your side.

Alriiiiight *cracks knuckles* Hopefully this makes sense (:-P)

I agree that sometimes a gospel storyline can feel forced when added randomly into a plot, but it just h…

Oh, also, I’m gonna ask someone to stop us if we get too heated. I have a tendency to do this when I really get the ball rolling. ellette-giselle If Whaley agrees, would you mind?

Yes, I can kill this if I need to, though it looks like so far y’all have kept your heads. lol

@rae @whalekeeper @mineralizedwritings I love how we can all peacefully discuss our different opinions on this💖

Y’all are the best  : )

I agree with you, Min! Writing God in a story is difficult, and it makes it even harder depending on the genre you write. I don’t think all books have to have God be explicitly stated or mentioned or even…[Read more]

@rae @whalekeeper @freed_and_redeemed @anyone else in the discussion

Mind if I add my two cents about God in stories?

Writing God into a story is really really hard, and it’s not something I would want to mess up. It can go well, or it can go badly. A lot of you here are familiar with the wingfeather saga, which was written by a Christian, but I…[Read more]

@rae

I seem to remember you saying you were developing your style. Is your drawing the result? It looks really good.

@whalekeeper

Yes, so true! What we go through can make or break us. It really depends on how we deal with the hard things happening around us and to us, and how much we rely on God vs ourselves.

and I love what you said in response to @rae

I think there’s a place for stories that present the Gospel, but also stories that may not necessarily…[Read more]

@rae

Actually, that’s explained better than i could have XD.

Lol, maybe I should be a thought interpreter when I grow up. If that’s a thing.

I can see both sides of the issue, but I feel neutral for lack of data. If anyone be willing, I’d be glad to slip into a character cloak and debate either side.

Sure, I would love to talk about it! This top…[Read more]

@rae I love Chase!!! 🥰🥰 Great job!!!

@rae you’re improving so much! Those hands are really good and I love your use of alcohol markers

@keilah-h I love that pose. And it does look like he could wake up if you poked him XD

Wait, actually, you might have just given me a scene idea…

@mineralizedwritings

Just letting you know I read your thoughts, and some of them touched nerves, so I appreciate the time you took to write them out ❤️

@ellette-giselle

My book update is that I’m now in the formatting process of my next book!!!!! I’m hoping to have the proof copy by no later then next week!!!!! I’m pretty excited! (In case…
