I wholly agree with @trailblazer on this one.

Writing can be serious at times and fun at others. But I don’t agree that our writing should just be to “entertain” others.

Yes, people should like it and have fun with it, but if our writing is just for showing a small lesson and “entertainment”, I think we have a few things…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 Girl, pls never worry about your writing being preachy.

Speaking God’s truth is more important than what people will think. I think your stories are beautiful, and with how lovable your characters are, I wouldn’t worry about it one bit.

You do what you feel led to do, regardless of what everyone else thinks…their opinion…[Read more]

Now I feel like I probably write more emotion than most of y’all here😂

@loopylin @esther-c @trailblazer @grcr @savannah_grace2009 @anyone-I-may-have-forgotten-XD

I love everyone’s unique thoughts!! <3

@whalekeeper

Great topic idea!

First and foremost, I write because I want to show the light of Christ through fiction. Why fiction? Because I love stories and I love reading and I have realized how powerful words can be.

Stories (those that are filled with truth, at least) have helped me learn new things and see the world in a different way.…[Read more]

@esther-c Oh I guess I forgot to read what you wrote earlier. Honestly same to everything you said XD

I love humor, and I love things that make me smile. I only write crazy sad scenes now and then, because like salt and pepper, food should be lightly seasoned with them. At least in my style. 🙃

Same. I think the rarity of sad scenes in a story makes them hit harder and mean more when they finally show up

@whalekeeper

You tagged me twice, so I guess I can’t ignore this lol

I don’t want to be too introspective, cuz that’s always a downward spiral for me, but here’s some half-baked thoughts.

I think I write stories to better understand the world and myself, I guess. Stories help me make connections, put things into categories and archety…[Read more]

Oh.

Imma write the entire jabberwoky poem from memory because Wyoh is eating all my posts anyway and I’m bored. (If this actually posts that’d embarrassing lol)

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

@whalekeeper ok I already wrote part of this scene a couple days ago so imma fit it in somehow

Eddie and Ellie

“Got any fours?”

“No. Go fish.”

Eddie sighed and drew a card from the pile on the floor. Her wristband buzzed. She ignored it.

“We were kinda mean to Liko.”

“Yeah… But he’ll get over it. You know the guy would forgive an animal…[Read more]

@stephie

yeah there’s not much you can do, but sometimes when I spam post insults at Wyoh, it eventually stops eating them and lets my posts through. Or if I just wait and try posting the next day.

@esther-c @whalekeeper

I agree a lot with what Esther said– my characters are the only main reason that writing appeals to me!

I’ve started to notice that my characters are all different pieces of myself. I kind of see it as each one having a little bit of a different part of my personality. That doesn’t necessarily mean they are all like me,…[Read more]

@whalekeeper Oh ok does this work? https://www.canva.com/design/DAF_tHaJtT8/aNqWK1mKACTd201McURA4Q/view?utm_content=DAF_tHaJtT8&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=editor

Oh hey my insults finally worked.

@keilah-h yeah it’s weird

Rude, Wyoh. Just rude.

I think it worked? It’s a drawing of Lois @anyonewhocaresimtoonervoustoactuallytagpeoplern
