I did start on a story series, though. I took it upon myself to revamp the entire storyline. Not really doing that anymore, though. Although, I might adapt it into my own universe somehow. I also made a couple of animated excerpts from them. Two of them are with Minecraft characters made to look like them, though, as I didn’t have any…[Read more]

@sarah-h That sounds like a great goal to make.
No, I haven’t seen any of those movies, though I think we have Fireproof.
Filmmaking sounds really fun! I know of another girl whose family is doing that, too. 😀 -

@perfectfifths I have only attempted two stories, both of them historical fiction, and both very unfinished. Once my writing skills improve, I hope to write spiritual warfare fiction, like This Present Darkness by Frank Peretti. Other people have posted snippets of their writing in Scene Critiques, and under the SciFi topic; I just remembered I do…[Read more]

I actually like writing, and have written in both styles of point of view. I suppose it has to work for the context of the story. Like, Aquila has two major characters, and therefore swaps between two points of view. Whereas a story focused around one character could benefit from having it in 1st Person.

You are? : . Oh dear, how awkward… I’ve actually lost interest in doing that. :/ I should be making my own stories, really. Yes, a Rock Raiders movie would be cool, but I could be making other, possible better things. Does that make sense?
I never was really into Chima either. 😛 In fact, I was more into Hero Factory during Chima’s…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien Interesting that you brought up “blasted.” I’m reading a series where the main character’s main “swear” word is Blast, and he’s clergy! 😀 The characters in this series have lots of little “sayings” they use when surprised or making a point. For example, a common one is “I’ll be ‘et for a ‘tater!” or, when encouraging others,…[Read more]

@julia-r Well, I’ve read some CYOA stories that were kinda fun (but they got old very quickly after going through all the possibilities) but other than that, I haven’t read a lot of second-person stories.

Julia R. replied to the topic First or Third? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 5 months ago
@anne-of-lothlorien: I have written a short Choose-your-own-Adventure story in second person. It was fun, but incredibly difficult! I can’t imagine doing 2nd person in any other way than a CYOA. That’s one thing I never liked about CYOA’s. Sometimes, they would say things like, “If you decide to chase after the criminal, go to page 8. If you…[Read more]

@sarah-h: Agreed, which is unfortunate. What kind of stories are you working on? I always love to read other peoples’ works (is that possible on here?), especially if they have the same goal of writing Christian fiction. 🙂
And what about Christian movies? From what I’ve found, they’re either very shallow or about sports – and to be perfectly…[Read more]

@perfectfifths *very late reply* Oh, I’m glad it was encouraging! That’s why I became a writer, too; there really isn’t enough good Christian fiction out there.

Hi everyone! I apologize for the extended silence. I’ve been thinking and praying about this conversation a lot, and I’m finally ready to present my answer.

Wow! Rock Raiders is one of my favorite LEGO Themes! I was even thinking of making a movie in Blender of it not too long ago! 😀
Oh, I see. Well, I haven’t either, so… 😛 I just like the hero because of the gadgetry.

Well, we’re going through the episodes chronologically right now, so we haven’t gotten to the NovaCom part yet (although we have listened to it). Some of the stuff I can’t recognize, like Emily and Buck. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!! SPOILERS!!! DX
You like Romance? Hmm. I kinda like keeping it as a subplot within another story than…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien Whoa! Heaps of plots we have not yet encountered! (in case you didn’t know, @leumeister and I are siblings) 😀 We’re working our way through Odyssey in chronological order (we ordered them all! 😀 ) But we have heard the Nova Com saga, so we know about Mitch and Monica. I never really thought it to have a lot of romance – it’s…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien Haha, yes, that is a good point. 😀 I found this site that helps you to write a CYOA story, so I did, and I actually didn’t end up writing it in second-person. I wrote it in first, because I was parodying the Night Before Christmas poem (and if I may say so, I thought it rather hilarious XD)

Louise Fowler replied to the topic First or Third? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 5 months ago
@kate-flournoy Aha, so it’s like having first-person, but not focussing on one character. I think I do write in deep third-person, in some cases.
