Ah, that makes sense. The problem of which country would have legal authority was the part that stumped me, and I figured Canada, which leads to nothing because I know nothing about Canada.

I don’t have an account where I made it, so I don’t think that would work.

Asking for prayers for myself and my family. My brother’s leaving for college on Friday. 🥺 My parents will drive him down then and the rest of us siblings will stay with my grandparents over the weekend. I’m trying to be excited for him, and I genuinely am, but I’m also going to miss him a lot. He’ll be all the way in Florida (we live in Ohio), so…[Read more]

Really, I don’t mind if you don’t want to talk about it, I just thought you wanted to.

I understand what you’re saying about personal conviction. I believe God is still with you anyway.
I’m trying to respectfully discuss the conviction itself, since you have argued the rebellion in Ellette’s book is a problem. You challenged the morality. You already put morality on the table. Thus, I was under the assum…[Read more]

Is a POV blind spot bad?
Nah, not really. Depends on how you handle it. Females are 50% of the population and many of them must be firstborns. We know very little about them. It’s a world building thing, and you’ve had to choose where to spend your effort, so it’s not surprising you haven’t included them.
If you wanted to, all…[Read more]

whaley replied to the topic Rock music in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 8 months, 2 weeks ago
Yeah, it’s pretty cool!
And if you don’t enjoy rock, that’s fine. Sometimes certain genres bothers a person and they don’t know why. It’s just a fact of their life. Many country songs rub me off the wrong way, and I don’t know why. 🤷♀️
You might have to explain what that thing is though XD.
Synesthesia? That’s where a person has de…[Read more]

I do like how in this book, we’re getting to see the perspective of one of the soldiers.
True.
It is also true, I forgot. We only have one female character so far. Other than what I call “extras.” And she isn’t from the city, so we have a POV blind spot, so to speak.

If you don’t think it’s a comparable scenario, I’d be curious to know why.

I’m not going to dig myself too far into this convo. But the way I see it, the government is torturing the inhabitants of the city. They’re literally killing kids. So… I don’t know what to say, other than to pose the same situation in front of you and ask you what you would do. There’s no peaceful way to deal with this, and…[Read more]

I find it very entertaining that some of you on here have written several projects since we met. And then there’s me, who has been working on the SAME BOOK since I joined, somehow without any side quests lol

Once the others email me back, I’ll see if I have any more nagging questions or things that stump me that I might need your help with haha
I already have your email soooo I’ll just email you when I’m ready!!!

I was telling my (aspiring pilot) brother about this book and he brought up a good point. The US Air Force has trackers on all of their planes. Why would this government, with all its advanced technology, not have a way to track the Wraith?

Don’t worry about it. 🙂 One of my pet projects has been a thing since 2020, through all my teen years. It’s not that big of a deal.
And if you wanted to try a sidequest without getting too distracted, I highly recommend writing short stories! They clean your creative palette if you’re stuck.
My problem is that my brain loves creating complex backstories and plots and just developing and overthinking what I have so far XDXD I love exploring a story from every angle I possibly can, which, I think, is why I have a history of changing all my projects WAYYY too much without ever finishing a draft loll
Maybe I’ll try to write one…though…[Read more]
Reimagining and deepening backstories to the point of overwhelming yourself… relatable. XD I have a hard time limiting the scope, if that makes sense. My biggest strength is tying stuff together with characters, so the world could not be explored to the same depth with any other characters besides the protagonists. But sometimes it feels like t…[Read more]
Like right now I am dying over this short story draft. I can’t figure out the characters for the life of me; there’s an extra dimension I’m missing. Idk, maybe I’m expecting too much from only one week of writing them.
