@whalekeeper if u don’t mind I’m going to move myself on from this topic because I don’t really care for it 😊 thx.

oh, did u get to read what I posted!

@freedomwriter76 i know… 😭

@whalekeeper also, I understand a bit better now 😊

but to add a bit of perspective, if I may, I believe a lot of it is because of the old adage “Write what you know” and many people struggle with insecurity, in many forms.

In fact, I believe if you’re a writer, you probably struggle with insecurity (not always but yea). Writers often do, t…[Read more]

@whalekeeper well I’m no theologian so…not sure I can get into that topic accurately lol.

But if you’re going to ask that question, you’d also have to ask- If we are ALL born into sin, and you have already placed he label that anyone who sins or is under the influence of sin is evil, then that means we all are/were evil at one time.…[Read more]

@koshka oof! I’m sorry 😅 I didn’t mean to go too far or anything… heh…

Also as for being born evil…

No I don’t believe anyone is born evil.

we are ALL born sinful. But I don’t believe you’re born evil. That depends on what you allow into your life, your heart, soul, etc.

Unless God has divined otherwise of course (God always has last word in everything so whatever He says goes lol!)

At least I don’t consider them sin in this instance, it depends on if your flaw is causing you to fall/sin. Then yes, it is a sin.

But things like characters flaws, unless that character flaw is a sin (such as unforgiveness, hate, etc) but insecurity is also a character flaw.

And ACTUALLY…if you go to far with insecurity, it can turn int…[Read more]

@whalekeeper I was just about to come on here and say…

A flaw is not a sin 😅

Sin- an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law.

Flaw- a mark, fault, or other imperfection that mars a substance or object.

@koshka…heh…yea 😅

so it is kinda…surreal and dark and mad?? But I actually really really like it 😂

it has a Tim burton Alice in wonderland feel to it lol, and just…I like it a lot.

Plus it really just speaks to me about Lyn and how she views things…I’m happy with it (needs editing obviously but yea!) really one of those HUZZAH! Moments!

&…

@whalekeeper AHHHH I LOVE THAT TIDBIT ABOUT ZOLTEN RELATING TO ARA’S INNER LEADERSHIP STRUGGLE!!! AHHHH!!!

@whalekeeper also…if what you’re saying is Active arcs are characters who basically say “I need to change everything about myself” (and they do that) IMO that would be a very negative arc/story.

Yes I understand people need to change…but that is through growth, not technically changing everything about themselves. Villains even have to grow t…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Hm…I’m afraid I’d have to disagree with you there.

You say that this in-between character would at first appear to be active, but in reality be passive, because they have “No flaws” in the end they are just influenced by others, etc.

And I can see what you mean…but as a REAL human being who has been INFLUENCED by others (bec…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon NO!!! NOT J****!!! NOT THE BABE 😭

ALSO EVERYONE!! I was lying down and got hit with a small excerpt (not gonna share the exact excerpt cuz it needs editing and such lol)

but ya know how u get hit with bits and pieces of dialogue, etc? This was kinda like that, so I wrote it down.

Basically, I was thinking about this advice…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76 RIKER!!!!!

WHEN DOES HE GET AWAY?!?! HOW DOES HE GET AWAY?!?! I NEED MORE!!! I NEED ANSWERS!!! *shakes Freedom by the shoulders*

@highscribeofaetherium ahh thx!! I’m so glad u think so! That makes me feel so great

However…the Light One (God) is always watching over Ara and her friends…

As well as His Guardians (Type and shadow of angels)

in fact I MIGHT (not sure) have the gang meet some or a guardian along their journey.

Maybe even the Guardian that Ara considers like a brother, named Ganesh.

No matter what, Ara and her friends are destined to…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium good question!
So essentially what happens is this (and I haven’t figured out ALL of the details)- Eder (type and shadows of Satan) is headed to A’Grend, to destroy it. Ara, sorta begrudgingly, tries to find out how to stop him, being led by her dreams/visions and a journal by her late grandmother.

She discovers her gra…[Read more]

@whalekeeper true, true (love having a brainstorm partner lol)

So…in this book, Ara is still struggling with past mistakes/decisions. She’s grown a lot since the first book (this is a series so there is growth in each book, wether it be good or bad growth) but nothing is fully gone yet. Now, though, she’s struggling mostly with the fact that…[Read more]

@whalekeeper oooh I like that! However…I like to think a lot of my charries fall under both umbrellas. Many of them are trying to survive the evil that’s been done to them, but they’re also having to overcome their own inner demons, sometimes heightened, or because of the evil that’s been done to them, make sense?

Where do those charact…[Read more]

OH AND MUSIC!!! Totally write down your favorite song or songs that make you think of whatever you’re creating! Honestly anything that inspires you about what you’re making-quotes, scriptures, music, pictures, unique words, etc.
