I will admit that it is kinda concerning. . . Sadly, I don’t think we both can be right. 😕

I have known many, many Christians who testify. . .

A can say very much the same. I have known (or at least known of), many, many Christians who testify of receiving the Holy Spirit when they spoken in tongues. I’ve been to events where over a…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I am not getting heated at you, I’m just realizing how confident I am. I hope that this makes sense somewhat.

Lol, no your totally fine! 🤣

I like knowing where other folks come from and what they believe. It’s a topic that we seemed to steer clear of, yet has so much to do with who we are and why we do what we do. Perhaps, its b…[Read more]

@writingwren

Maybe consider writing something short, on a topic you like and would have fun with, and perhap isn’t even “a book.”

For example, I like cats and spy adventures. I’m considering and planning on creating a “Stop the evil cats from world domination!” escape room (I’m thing on calling it Cat-astrophe. 😼) It still will require a lot of…[Read more]

@loopylin LOLLLLL

maybe they’re scared off by our goofiness

@whalekeeper @loopylin

Ari

Moth wilted a little. Ari looked away, but he could still feel the fairy boy’s petal-blue eyes. His skin prickled. He glanced at Ellis without expecting anything helpful from that quarter.

Bother.

A sigh chuffed out of his lungs.

“What type of science class am I going to?”

@whalekeeper

Those cats. Gracious.

They kinda fit too. XD

@loopylin @whalekeeper

I feel like if it weren’t for Moth, Ari and Ellis would probably not get along.

I feel this is true. Probably more than is good. XD

Ari

His eyes narrowed at Ellis’s back a moment, but the question seemed innocent enough.

“I was not unwilling.” It was nice, after all, to still be breathing. “But of course, no knowledge m…[Read more]

@loopylin @whalekeeper

Oh my.

Ari

Go with them, to a stuffy, windowless room full of stuffy, young princes? He looked askance at the two boys.

“A asfendë, Firefly. I do not think…” A teacher’s wide, frozen smile flashed to mind. “I happen to be one of those who wishes for classes. And those classes certainly do not wish for me.”

He…[Read more]

@loopylin @whalekeeper

Welp, let’s hope this one doesn’t go haywire.

Ari

Ah, yes. Most students here did regularly attend classes. Ari nodded, his lips twitching at Moth’s antics.

“There are classes for those who wish for them.”

It wasn’t as if he never attended a class. There was choir, and…well, there was choir. Why should he go sit in a…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

What are your thoughts on how someone is saved? I’d like to hear your view. 🙂 (From your comment, I infer that you, like me, would say that being filled with Spirit is a necessity.)

@whalekeeper

To be clear, I’m just curious to know what y’all think and I have no intention of getting heated

I appreciate this! When things get heated. . . it makes me feel blah. 🤣

I will try my best with what little brains I have to expound upon the huge wonderful topic of the Holy Spirit.

First I want to touch on what’s not being filled wit…[Read more]

Okay. Something weird just happened with the submission. Does it look duplicated for everyone else?

@loopylin @whalekeeper

Ari

Kind? Moth thought he was kind? The fairy king really hadn’t been around many people.

Still, his face softened, eyes bright, as he slid his last arrow into his quiver. No one had ever called him kind.

His full quiver bounced against his hip as he walked back. He glanced at Ellis, then picked up his own bow. So…[Read more]

@loopylin @whalekeeper

Ari says yes. I don’t know what to RP for him saying that though.

@reaganramm

Yes, I agree! Definitely very visible!

Do you believe that there are different kinds of visual signs (besides love) that someone has received the Holy Spirit or just one?

I think that, since when we receive the Spirit, “you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father! The Spirit himself bears w…[Read more]

@loopylin @whalekeeper

Ari

His eyebrow rose, but he made no other response. The statement didn’t seem to require one.

He hadn’t meant to give advice, only observe. Warn maybe. Why did you even open your mouth, Verenion?

No matter. He reached for his quiver.

It was empty. Perfect.

With a muttered, “don’t shoot me yet,” he set down his bow…[Read more]

@loopylin @whalekeeper

*panicking because I haven’t actually decided what exactly Ellis is*

*Pained laughter because this is too relatable*

Ari

The boy’s mother? That was more human then, more than Ari’s blood.

No, the Elder are only cursed.

“Your brother?” He shook his head. “I’ve seen you around. Saw him when you first came in…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @loopylin

Poor Ellis.

Ari

He spared the boy a glance, then reached up and tucked back the hair that covered his pointed ears.

“Not likely.”

The doctor here at the school had tried to sort him into some nice category or other when he’d first arrived. Ari shot off another arrow. It had been a year since he’d since he’d seen the…[Read more]

@quicksilverwyvern

Flashbacks are useful literary devices. They can drop hints of mystery, clues to the story, or explain secrets.

Just have a good idea of how you’re using them in the book before you dive in. I don’t know how many times I’ve started writing something only to realize half-way through that it didn’t fit with the story. So, are…[Read more]
