Hey! I live in Western Australia. 🙂

Yayz! 😀 Someone got the reference! When in doubt…Lobster Bisque! XD PerfectFifths and I really enjoy Studio C. 😀

Here’s an idea. What if the protagonist and the antagonist are working for the same or a similar goal?

@sarah-h: Thank you! That is so encouraging! I’ve always felt there’s not enough Christian fiction (namely fantasy, which is a lot of the time so dark and evil), especially for young adults/teens, and instead of sitting around mulling about it, I wanted to do something! It looks like everyone on here has the same idea, and it’s wonderful that so…[Read more]

I’m sorry everybody, we were having a really good discussion and then I got it all sidetracked on dinosaurs. So, Jackson brought up a really good point about the magic being influenced by a cult. Since everyone seems to agree that the series was influenced/ inspired by the…[Read more]

@bluejay Hmm….well, Robin Hood was a real person, so that might qualify…or, maybe a story from the perspective of a mischievous ship’s boy on Captain Cook’s ship, exploring the South Sea Islands (I think)….I remember when I was that age, I liked stories about early American history: Indians and settlers, patriots and redcoats. Ooh, and…[Read more]

@perfectfifths Hi! 🙂 I was reading through your introduction again, and I just wanted to encourage you to be bold about your faith in your stories. Not preachy, necessarily, but don’t hide the light God has put inside you. The world is starving for the truth, and you have the means to give it to them. Morality and wholesomeness is good, but it…[Read more]

Okay… How can I show instead of tell? :S

I don’t think she thinks of selling everything… 😛 I just thought, since she’s financially hard-pressed at that point, she may want to take advantage of the situation. But then again she does intend to sell….well, you’ll see… 😉

Thanks for the critiques! 😀

@kate-flournoy

I wouldn’t say that’s uncivilized. Just a different area of expertise. 😛 If you like doing digital art, though, it may be easy to paint textures onto UV layouts… Now I suppose I must explain what UV layouts are! XD

They’re basically a flattened out version of a 3D mesh. Like a net. Have you ever seen a net of a cube? It looks…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy

Ah, I see… Have you tried writing any fiction at all? 🙂

@kate-flournoy: Oooh, I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks! 🙂

@kate-flournoy: I like the Gothic scripts, too. I often go searching for fonts to use in my stories. My favourite site is FontSpace. Everything is free, and I always download the ones that allow for personal and commercial use.

@kate-flournoy: Wow, that’s awesome! I can have fairly nice handwriting (when I really, really try!) but most of the time I specialise in cacography. 😉 My mum has reeeeallllly nice handwriting, and she makes amazing looking fonts. 😀

@kate-flournoy: Yes, Maps are so epic! We have a huge poster map for Middle-earth from the Hobbit that my brother got for his b-day, and I like to look at it sometimes and find all the places I know – Lothlorian, the Shire, Rivendell, Minas Tirith.

@kate-flournoy: You like drawing maps?? 😀 😀 I love maps in books, especially Fantasy, because it helps you kind of follow the heroes’ journeys.

@dragon-snapper: I like drawing maps (I use a PC program called GIMP) I once made a map for a friend’s story, which she loved, I’ve made a few maps of my own worlds, too.

@emma-flournoy: Yes, YouTube is great for things like that! And I do agree with you; Lindsey’s style is a little strange – and uncomfortable-looking.

@Gabrielle: Thank you! I…[Read more]

@jess I’m so sorry! I’ll be praying for the family, and also for your dad’s job.

@ethryndal

Of course I don’t mind. Everybody’s entitled to their own opinion. 🙂
