Introducing the Thurmans… Whenever your conversation’s at a good breaking point, they can show up at the party! (Also, James is just an extra character that popped up lol)

Bennett

The ticking of the grandfather clock was the only thing that broke the stiff silence in the sitting room of the Thurman estate. The air was…[Read more]

@grcr @freedomwriter76

I literally created a whole new family just for this lol. I’m still nailing down the descriptions but so far this is where I’m at….

Meet the Thurman family:

Anderson, age 52, is a successful and wealthy judge. He has become absorbed in his reputation and that of the Thurman family, and as a result has become emotionally…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 Oh girl, that sounds like me! The braids all the way… and I had a bonnet, but unfortunately no dress. I used to create forts with bedsheets and pretend I was in a covered wagon lol.

@hybridlore I went through a huge Little House phase when I was in elementary school, so it doesn’t surprise me that this reminds you of it lol.

@smiley

I have multiple WIPs from multiple genres, and sometimes I’m working on them simultaneously, so wanting to write  two different books in different genres is pretty normal. (Unless I’m abnormal lol)

@thearcaneaxiom

Thanks! That helps to clarify things! I didn’t realize Mormons and Latter Day Saints were the same. But that makes more sense now!

@thearcaneaxiom I’ve also heard the egg explanation, too, but to me the liquid/solid/gas makes more sense.

Also, I’m just curious why Latter-Day Saints go door-to-door to talk to people. I’ve heard that it’s required? What is it required for?

Then again, I could be wrong, or maybe I’m thinking of Mormons. Honestly, I get the two mixed up a lot…[Read more]

Kari 

My phone! Kari, standing off to the side, suddenly remembered. Why hadn’t she thought of it before? If she could call someone, then perhaps they could assure her she was fine, and hadn’t lost her sanity. She jerked her phone from her back pocket, turning on the home s…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Yes, that’s pretty close what I’m getting at, in a nutshell.

I’ve also heard the trinity explained this way: we know that water is a liquid, but changes forms to be either ice or steam when frozen or heated. It’s the same thing, but in three different forms. That’s how I see the trinity- three different manifestations of God. He…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

I don’t mind if Kari and Ottoline don’t get along at first! A little conflict is good for the story. Kari’s faith is a big part of her life so that sort of seeps out of her, but as a little background she’s had some stuff in her past, too. Not nearly as intense as Ottoline’s, but her father died in an accident when she was…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Ok, I think I see your question better now. That is a tough one to answer; my best attempt at an explanation might not be a satisfactory answer, but at least it’s how I think about it.

So the Father sent Jesus to the earth; Jesus was the representation of the Father. He did nothing unless He first saw the Father doing it; after…[Read more]

@hybridlore @savannah_grace2009

I think you guys will like this section… it’s one of my favorites because it has more action in it.

Several weeks later was Independence Day. There was no school, and our whole family dressed in our Sunday clothes and drove into town on the wagon to join in the celebration. The day kicked off just outside the…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

I’m not well versed in apologetics (I’ve done some study on it a long time ago, but nothing very recent), but I’m going to at least try to explain a little bit of my perspective in answer to your question. I know there are different opinions out there, and I’m not here to start an argument, but I don’t mind having healthy…[Read more]

Some more…

Summer 1884

I wished Mama would let me drop out of school, even though I was only fourteen. Since all the crops were planted, we returned to school, but this time Albert and Abe stayed behind. The first day we went back, George dragged his feet.

“Come on, George!” I turned around and walked bac…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Haha, you’re fine! Let your imagination take you wherever you want, maybe it’ll produce more ideas I could end up using at some point lol.

Kari

Kari glanced down at the notebook in her hand and the increasing shadows outside. The sun was setting, and this was nothing like what she had planned for her evening. If she didn’t leave soon, it would be dark, and she didn’t want to be alone in this house…[Read more]
