Trailblazer replied to the topic New Year’s resolutions! in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 months, 3 weeks ago
Have you heard of the five love languages? I was just reading about them recently, and even though I’ve known about them for years, learning about it more in-depth was so eye-opening for me. That’s another thing I want to start implementing- discovering what makes the people in my life feel loved, and then learning how to…[Read more]

Yeah, sometimes I feel like I just shut down anytime one of my parents asks a deeper question about my faith or more personal things. We can have conversations about theology or politics or anything like that perfectly fine, but when it comes to what God’s speaking to me or doing in my life, or things I’m working through, I…[Read more]

Agreeing with you for healing in Jesus’ name!

Trailblazer replied to the topic New Year’s resolutions! in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 months, 3 weeks ago
Yes! I love my family, and I know God has blessed me with them. We don’t fight (well, occasionally my brothers do, but they’re two teen guys sharing a room so that’s gonna happen lol) but sometimes it just feels like there’s an emotional disconnect. Instead of just sitting around waiting for something to change, I want to be…[Read more]

Anytime I ever set fitness goals I struggle to reach them lol. I’m not super athletic so I don’t have sports to keep me active. I do like hiking, so my dad and I started doing stairs a few years ago (literally going up and down the stairs as many times as we can and pushing ourselves to go farther). So we’ll see- I want to try to do that…[Read more]

Trailblazer replied to the topic New Year’s resolutions! in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 months, 3 weeks ago
I don’t usually do resolutions, but I do always sort of take inventory of the previous year and see where I’ve grown and how I can continue to grow. So I guess in a way I do have resolutions but I never call them that, lol.
-Going deeper in my relationship with Jesus, obviously. And growing specifically in the area of prayer.
-I…[Read more]

Have you thought about writing children’s books? That’s another thing that would combine both writing and art.

I probably won’t be joining in, because I can’t really commit to it long-term at this point (bc I have plans to do a missions program later this year and who knows where God will lead me after that), but I might hop in and join discussions from time to time.

Trailblazer replied to the topic Hello, Humans! in the forum Start HERE 10 months, 3 weeks ago
Welcome to KP! I’m Janessa, aka Trailblazer, and I write primarily contemporary or historical fiction, but I also enjoy mysteries, and I’ve done a little journalism as well. I’m also into photography and hiking in the mountains. I’m also a former homeschooler who spent one year in public school (yeah that was an adventure I’ll never…[Read more]

Trailblazer replied to the topic I’m new here! in the forum Start HERE 10 months, 4 weeks ago
Aw, that sounds like fun! A lot of my dad’s family lives out of state, so we only see them once or twice a year, and it’s always special to get together with them.

@beth-torres also has Silas, Carrie’s twin, who showed up more recently.

Trailblazer replied to the topic Character Party! in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 months, 4 weeks ago
The whole RP started off as a party and now… lol it’s been a wild ride!
Initially, the characters met up in a house that locked them in and forced them to have a masquerade ball if they wanted to go home, but then the queen of Lillen transported them into her world to help save her people. Jonas already alluded to the…[Read more]

I’m sorry I don’t have that scene written yet or I would post it lol. I need to find a good way to write it so that it’s sweet and meaningful.

Wait, did you say it has to be in first person?

Trailblazer replied to the topic Character Party! in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 months, 4 weeks ago
Yeah that’s an interesting idea!
I think we might also have too many locations/dragons, and if we’re already burning out with the first one, I don’t think we’re gonna get very far. I think part of my problem is that I’m terrible with fighting scenes, and even in the scenes where the characters were fighting each other, Kari wasn’t very…[Read more]

I’m not entirely sure how I want to close out the story. At this point I know they’re gonna get married but I don’t know if I want to try to add another conflict in there or something or just wrap it up. I also don’t think weddings were the same back then; I think they were usually more of a quiet family celebration but I haven’t…[Read more]

OK, this segment is basically the farthest I’ve gotten in the story so far. Lmk if you have any suggestions for things that could happen from here on out!
That summer marked the beginning of a new season for me as Albert and I formally entered into a courtship. Albert walked me home from church nearly…[Read more]

Oh goodness. A genre I don’t write in? Haha this might be interesting. We’ll see if I can come up with something.

I actually prefer sparkling water over soda… I’m not a huge fan of the usual soda flavors. Like I’ll drink them, but give me a good La Croix or Izze any day. I’m also type 1 diabetic, so I only really use soda if my blood sugar is low and I need something to bring it up quickly.

I’m still here… I’m just not great with fighting scenes, but Kari is currently with Carrie and Silas.
