That’s perfect! @kate-flournoy 😛

Ooo, I like that idea! @writefury

@Hope, I don’t have a Pinterest, but I could use Google images. Thanks for the ideas! 🙂

@anna-brie Hello. Glad you’re here on this, the most awesomeist of writer forums! 😉

This isn’t an idea, but I just want to say that I love the weekly prompts. I want to try to enter more this year, but it’s fun to be able to write up short scenes or see what other people have written up.

One thing which is a random idea…it would be cool if there were weekly or semiweekly good Christian writing music posts, with a section for…[Read more]

Do you have Pinterest @gretald? When planning characters, it helps me to find pictures of them. I can’t always do this, but most of the time I can find one. And, strange as it may sound, the picture (as well as the name) quite often helps me in developing the character…it suggests all sorts of possibilities about if the character is serious,…[Read more]

Or maybe he is obsessed with marrying the MC and that is why he brought her to his castle, but she refused with vehement obstinance, so he sought the 9 powers so that he he control her to his will, and then found out that she controlled the 9 powers …

What I was asking is why he wanted to control them— why he wanted power, why he wanted prestige. It seems a little cheesy to me that he would want them simply for their own sake— simply because he’s wholeheartedly black and finds pleasure in them for the destruction he can wreak with them.

No, I actually agree to some extent with that @Daeus. What I was asking is why he wanted to control them— why he wanted power, why he wanted prestige. It seems a little cheesy to me that he would want them simply for their own sake— simply because he’s wholeheartedly black and finds pleasure in them for the destruction he can wreak with them.…[Read more]

@Daeus, Yes! I completely agree. There has to be a happy medium between forcing the Biblical principals and you-can-do-whatever-you-want-because-God-will-love-you-anyway. 🙂

@Daeus, Yes! I completely agree.

Exactly @Daeus. Exactly.

@kate-flournoy, great suggestion! I’m definitely going to work with the plot…what I wrote is by no means set in stone. 😉 I’m definitely going to work out why the villain wants the 9 Powers; it actually drives me crazy in stories when the villain has no particular purpose for destroying things and terrorizing people…he just does because he’s…[Read more]

Exactly! @Daeus 🙂 We can’t avoid the rules in the Bible (kind of like assuming there is a God in novels, it should also be a given that the morals of the Bible are true), but we don’t have to outline them in our stories.

I might— just a quick suggestion. Work with your villain a little. Why does he want to control the nine powers? Is it just because POWER and PRESTIGE? Is it just because he’s SOOOOOO EEEEEVIL?

You can make him more complicated and interesting than that, I know. 😉
