@jenali Those are good thoughts. Figuring out how characters would react to situations that aren’t in the book is a great way of exploring their more extreme emotions and getting a better grasp on their personality.

@jenali Good set of experiments there. They normally should be similar to the answers to your focusing question, so that’s no problem here! Great depiction of what it looks like when you try to endure without God’s strength. Like I mentioned with Audrey (see my comment to her post to read my full explanation), you’ll want to also consider the…[Read more]

@ethryndal Great thoughts, and I absolutely agree. Since James 1:2-4 is accurate for our Christian lives, we should be applying its principles to storytelling as well.

@audrey-caylin Every time you use that book, you remind me that I really need to read it. =P Great work!

Whoa @Ethryndal that could get crazy. *grins* Thank you.

Of the thirteen blank, sterile white doors in the blank, sterile grey wall, one was painted a soft shade of creamy yellow. Pasted in ugly xs all across it were strips of yellow tape marked DANGER. DO NOT ENTER.

This should totally be a children’s book. With the right illustrations it would be perfect. I love it. As Emma pointed out, a few errors as far as punctuation and spelling, but otherwise it’s lovely. Good work, @R-J-Wordsmith.

Also I noticed a few missed words and letters, and punctuation errors—several…[Read more]

Hello and welcome @Rachelle! Do you play any instrument? Have you read Les Miserables?

that if my work can impact just one life for Christ, I’ll have succeeded.

@R-J-Wordsmith Yes.

@R-J-Wordsmith It’s good. 😉

Welcome to the forum, @Rachelle! Glad to hear you were able to find us through Brett and Jaquelle. What areas of writing are you particularly trying to grow in at the moment?

@Rachelle yes, I love poetry. 😉 I wouldn’t consider myself A POET but I love poetry. One of my very favorites of Tolkien’s… actually I can’t pick a favorite. I love them all. XD
As for favorite movies, um… probably LotR, Rigoletto, Henry V, Little Dorrit, Monsters Inc., Pride & Prejudice, Captain America: The First Avenger, and a lot of…[Read more]

Welcome @Rachelle. 🙂 This is indeed an amazing place. This community has helped me so much I wouldn’t even know where to start listing it all. So glad to have you here!
Do you like poetry? What are some of your favorite books/movies?
