@stephie

As far as how long we want to take to read, it might depend on the length of the book that’s chosen.

@highscribeofaetherium

I can’t see any of them either.

@esther-c

Lol I love that scene! Those interactions sound so realistic!

Also may or may not have just almost tagged you as easter-c XD.

@keilah-h @loopylinWhoa it sounds like you both are prophetic dreamers! That’s wild. I’ve had dreams that definitely hold significance but to my memory I can’t remember that happening to me, where I dream about a place and then actually go there later. 

@esther-cAnyway, I’m going to be the outlier here, lol. My favorite is historical fiction. Y’all probably already guessed that from the number of times I’ve mentioned it in my introductions to new KPers. 

@highscribeofaetheriumI literally started thinking about that jingle even before I finished reading your whole post and discovered that’s what you were going for, lol. 

@theducktator

We should probably define “magic”. Most Christians are ok with Lord of the Rings or Chronicles of Narnia magic, however, the controversy seems to be mostly with books like Harry Potter or Revenge of Magic where characters learn spells. Sorry if this is too nitpicky, obviously everyone should be comfortable with whatever is cho…

@esther-cI’m in! It sounds interesting!

@stephieI think you need to insult Wyoh again… I don’t see whatever you posted. 

@stephieI like the idea! I can’t guarantee that I’ll have the time to participate, but I may try depending on what book is decided upon. (Or if it’s a book I’ve already read, then it’ll be easier for me to join because I wouldn’t actually have to read it again in depth lol)Since I’m no longer in high school, my parents no longer dictate what books…[Read more]

@keilah-hI think @stephie was trying to say she might say something that offends someone. And my point was that even if it does spark backlash, we shouldn’t be afraid to stand for what God has created and called sacred. I think the reason there is such an attack on marriage right now is because the union of a man and woman is a reflection of the…[Read more]

@stephieThat’s disgusting how they’ve changed it from the original story so much. I loved Anne of Green Gables as a child, and if the series would stick to the way the story actually was, I would love to watch it. However, if it’s gonna be full of stuff like that, it’s not worth it to me. I’m not ever going to apologize for promoting marriage th…[Read more]

@stephieYep that’s pretty much how I am, too. Also you’re cracking me up with all these insults to Wyoh lolol. @esther-cI love that article! I agree… We need more light-hearted books. I feel like I’ve struggled to write that way because I feel like it’s not relevant or it starts to fall flat. But I used to write stories based off of my f…[Read more]

@stephie

Wyoh looks like an egg mcmuffin. (It worked last time.)

Lol I’m still stuck on this haha!I would give a response to your question but I’m too tired right now to piece my thoughts together.

@stephie Wyoh really doesn’t like you… I can’t see your post.

@whalekeeper @esther-c @savannah_grace2009 @loopylinOk, so this might sound very basic, but I think for me, my writing stems from storytelling. I’ve had several people, who didn’t even know me or know that I write, tell me that I’m a storyteller. I think most writers are storytellers, but not all, at least not all in the same way. I have struggled…[Read more]

@whalekeeper I promise I’ll respond to this at some point, my weekend has been super busy! Love the topic idea… I think I’ve already shared some thoughts in the discussion you already mentioned. Anyway I need to go to bed now but I’ll give my response when I have a little more time to think through my answers. 

@stephieIs it kind of an allegorical type of story? 

@stephieI’m intrigued… I don’t think I personally could write from the perspective of a villain of sorts, and I don’t know where your plot is going, but I can already see this turning into a redemption story. Even just that brief glimpse draws me in. Great job! 

@stephieAhhh I think Wyoh ate my post!Thanks! I appreciate that! I hope to share some more of the story at some point, but right now most it is still not written out. I feel like I’ve been discovering what happens as I’m writing it, because I didn’t initially sit down with a plot in mind, but it’s just fallen together as I write. So there’s still…[Read more]
