I really liked the old one, but the startling bright green is very endearing as well. 🙂

Good job to the design team.

These were all really helpful and have given me a lot to work through! 🙂
@sleepwalkingmk. That is something that I had not considered! Thanks. I should have thought of that from their angle. It would probably fix the theme, or at least make a start towards it.

However, I have come across a problem. In one of my books I cover the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre (1572) and I am rather unsure what to do with it thematically.

A quick historical context. For…[Read more]

I would disagree about Balaam and say he is more of a tragic character, starting off seemingly reasonably well, and then going off the deep-end. However, I would be interested to hear why you think he is an anti-hero type.

I would say Joab is closer to an anti-hero. But that is just my opinion

The ideas are definitely hard to treat fairly… But then not all ideas are equal. 🙂

I just tried it with a short story with a group of seven people each one offering three things they wanted in the story. I would say it is nearly impossible to come to twenty-one things that are quite that random, with a pre-existing story…[Read more]

So presumably as authors we are all creative. Just the same, a problem I have had is writing something creative, that my intended readers will enjoy.

I got this idea from a sort of corollary idea. So you may have heard about some websites where entrepreneurs present their ideas, but as they lack money, they can’t really afford to…[Read more]

Nice music, basically sound script, nice visuals, emotional without embarrassing me, and one of the few more recently made animations that I can still rematch without yawning too badly. 🙂

Well that’s my first. 🙂

I write because I care,

I write out of boredom,
I write because I have too,
I write because I can,
Sometimes I write for sport,
Other times I write in sweat of despair,
But finally I write for the Kingdom,
To aid the wheat and pluck the tare.

Before working on this for my last week of college break, I would like to hear your guys opinions.
