That is such a good article! I especially love what she said about darkness and brokenness being so prevalent in fiction nowadays. I see this in teen contemporary books especially. The characters all have dysfunctional families, get drunk, are cruelly bullied, tragically lose family, etc. I want more Penderwick-type adventures, but with…[Read more]

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]

@thearcaneaxiom

I think your post was eaten. It says you posted, but I don’t see it.

@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]

It’s been two weeks, and profile pictures still aren’t working. 🙁

@whalekeeper

I have been stalking this topic, trying to figure out why I write, and the best answer I could come up with is because I love it. (I know, so profound.) I love my characters, I love watching them interact, (especially when it’s awkward), I love how most of them insult each other, yet love each other very deeply. Most of them have s…[Read more]

We sang it at church too! All the verses. By the end my throat kind of hurt.😂 It was worth it though.

Mkay, sounds good

It was under Music, and I posted Saint Patrick’s Breastplate, my dad’s favorite hymn, in honor of Saint Patrick’s Day. I tried to edit my post, maybe Wyoh didn’t like that.

I just created a topic, and it was marked as spam. Was that wyoh?

Here’s a little scene I wrote recently. (And it may have been inspired by the fact that my sister and I watched all three High School Musical movies over the last weekend… XD)…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 @trailblazer

I feel like my humor comes naturally and it fits naturally in my stories (ok, not all the time. I have removed a few jokes that are just too cringe, lol), but not all stories need some level of humor. I think the reason humor comes through in my stories is because I’ve been told I’m a funny person (or cra…[Read more]

Okay! Serin has met Allen before, so would she recognize him? Or not since he’s kinda restarting?

@stephie

I know, KP has been super buggy lately. I’ll tag @kathleenramm. Not much else we can do 🤷‍♀️
