I love this idea! I’m not sure I’d be able to participate every time, but I’ll try. Content-wise, I’m okay with most magic (I’ve read Harry Potter), I’m okay with some swearing in a book (i just say something different in my mind or skip over it) but of course there’s a limit, and on the romance side of things, I’m okay with reading ki…[Read more]

About Anne with an E, that’s horrible. Like, can’t you just keep the story for what it is instead of twisting it to fit the status quo?? I severely doubt L. M. Montgomery would ever want to give off a message like that. But that’s why we need to keep spreading the light of Christ through our stories, to show people the Truth. <3

@y’all

For those of you who replied to the article I shared, I read your posts, I just don’t have the brain power rn to respond to each individually. XD But yes, I totally agree!! We need a balance of darker and lighter stories to meet readers where they’re at in life and give them what they need.

@keilah-h @princesachronicle22 I’m sorry I haven’t RPed in so longgg!! But I’ll be able to write the next RP tomorrow.

@magicalstories0611

I love this so much!! Characters are my favorite ✨

@freed_and_redeemed @loopylin @whalekeeper

this is unfished, but enjoy anyways.

Lesli smiles, looking around at the amassing crowd around her.

“Wow, I’ve never seen the shopping district so crowded!” She squeezes Tauren’s arm, being careful not to wrinkle his starched white shirt.

“Yeah…” Tauren scans the crowd easily, his h…[Read more]

Ah, was my post eaten?

@keilah-h

XD thanks! I’m taking Japanese rn. I put it through translate too just to make sure I did it right lol.

You do! I forgot about that! Oh that’s super cool! I always like when expressions relevant to history are worked into worldbuilding.

@whalekeeper

Well because we seem to have already chatted abt this I’ll try to share something new lol. I really like facial expressions in manga and anime, their just so hilarious lol, and I strive to create the situations in my book that would make my characters make those expressions XD It’s really fun too me and definitely a reason I…[Read more]

@loopylin

Oh, I love that drawing on the canva link!

@grcr

Thank you!! 😊😄

@everyone

Ok guys, you have to check out this article.

It’s a guest post on @gracie-j ’s blog and it’s really good!! It kinda has to do with what we’re talking about… sort of… okay, I don’t know, but it’s really good anyway and y’all should read it! XD

@whalekeeper

Right! You have similar themes, you just don’t press into the theme as directly.

Yeah, that’s a good way to put it.

@freed_and_redeemed

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

Which is not a bad thing! You write them really well 😊 And I feel like your books, at least what I’ve read of them, focus m…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed @loopylin @whalekeeper @trailblazer

Y’all have made some really good points!! I like hearing all your thoughts on this topic. I honestly feel like there’s not a one-size-fits-all answer to the topics of preachiness and theme. They differ for each genre, each story, each author, and each plan God has for the authors and the…[Read more]

@loopylin Ack, don’t apologize! I didn’t really read all of your message when I posted, haha, so don’t feel bad at all <3

I actually love what you said…you put it in a very good and compassionate and understanding way, and I appreciate that💖

@loopy @whalekeeper

I’ve had a lot on my mind lately, and I’m trying to figure some things out in life…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I have not denounced Marvel, lol, I am just not watching/writing it as much as I once did as I have more of a passion/need for the things of God <3

That clears up a couple things.

Ok, here’s where I need to clear something up: what I meant by what I said is that it IS being ashamed of the Gospel if you don’t include the truth of…[Read more]

and writing is not essential to anyone’s walk with God. Let’s make that clear that we should all agree with that.

@whalekeeper @esther-c

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]
