With all that said, I still am trying to figure out all that I believe and why I believe it on these issues. This is also why I want to hear what you have to say for your side, to see if I should maybe reconsider my side, as I am doing with passifism. And maybe in exchange, I can give you a few things to think about…[Read more]

As for the church leaving… they did. They left the city, but there is no place to run to, and while they did go underground, there is still the fact that 1. the will be discovered, it’s only a matter of time, and 2. evil is running rampant and unchecked.
Okay, that makes sense.

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]

Random thought/note. I recently made a list of every character of mine… at least, that I could think of. I want to draw them all eventually. 🤤✍🏼 I have 606 characters. 400 are male and 206 are female.

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.

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.

@hybridlore I think the girls are taken but not to be soldiers. More like strategists and informants.

Yes, I think he’s going to do that.

I do like how in this book, we’re getting to see the perspective of one of the soldiers. This is a strong part of the world building, so it’s nice to get a deeper look into it.
Is it just boys who are taken, or are there girls too? Because I feel like you might have mentioned something about there being a girl at the rehab center but I hav…[Read more]

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 feel like I’m bad at explaining this…. is it making sense? Or am I just making the world more confusing at the moment….. XD
I think I get what you are saying. Christians should rebel and take on the government if it is the only means to protect their families. That was also an argument in your friend’s essay on violence: Fathe…[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

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.
