My church rarely has over a hundred people at each mass. We usually have a coffee hour after. I know that, at a lot of other churches I’ve been to, coffee hour is kind of…boring. But there’s always something entertaining going on. There’s always hot chocolate for the kids, and there is NEVER a time that goes by…[Read more]

I have never heard of it, but I was shocked when I saw that your pastor was thrown in prison… – Kefa

Yes. We shut down our church for the first few months, but then our pastor went, ‘No. This is wrong. The church needs to meet.’ so we opened it back up. We got the attention of the government an…[Read more]

I totally agree with both of you about the race thing they’re teaching in schools. I honestly think we were fine where we are today. I never say black people looked down on in America in my lifetime. But now they’re just stirring up old quarrels. And, if the white people are the badguys and need to build up black people, t…[Read more]

@trailblazer

I love that story idea! It sounds super interesting, and I would totally pick it up. Elishavet had some great advice. Let’s see… what do I do for character arcs?

Honestly, it takes a while for these things to come together in my writing. I don’t sit down to write for the first time and already know all the details of my plot and c…[Read more]

Yeah, I rarely wear makeup either. Probably mostly for your reasons, Trailblazer. It’s just a lot of work and I honestly prefer the natural look on myself anyway (from what I’ve seen.)

Also… what’s with all the new names? XD

@trailblazer @savannah_grace2009

I don’t wear makeup either. It’s kind of weird though because somehow I got into Irish Dance and they wear loads of makeup to competitions.

Bucket loads of makeup.

Truck loads of makeup.

A world of makeup.

Then I’m just there like “how much is barely enough because that’s how much I want” XD

@trailblazer

I don’t wear makeup either, for the same reason. I’m always excited when I have an occasion special enough to wear it, but I don’t wear it regularly.

@savannah_grace2009

 I don’t mind being the weird one either

That’s me at my co-op: “The weird one”🤣

@trailblazer

I have a couple ideas that might not work with your story and charries, but I’ll pitch them anyways

Since Ellie has good discernment, I’m not sure how much her emotions would run her, but many times woman, especially woman with strong emotions towards something (like the subject of trafficking), are easily overcome by their…[Read more]

@trailblazer

Oh yesss I agree 100%!!!!

I wear mascara and that’s about it, maybe a little highlighter and neutral eyeshadow, thats literally it…

and I don’t mind being the weird one either…I want to be who God made me to be <3

That’s so cool girl <333

@trailblazer

Absolutely welcome! I may have to struggle to finish something, but characters and random ideas are my cup of tea. 🙂

@trailblazer

I haven’t tried to tan either…mostly because I want to learn to be okay with how I look normally, and love myself the way God created me.

I don’t want to follow trends just because the world says I’m not enough…I want to learn to be okay with being different the way God made me.

@trailblazer @stephie

This is random, but I’ve been eavesdropping on your conversation…

Has anyone noticed how the beauty standard now is like “you have to be tan and have darker skin or else you’re not pretty enough”?

It really bugs me how girls now are using self tan or judging other girls who are “pale”. Honestly I’m sick and tired of…[Read more]

@trailblazer

Girl literally… that’s so relatable! Sometimes if I’m driving alone I’ll talk to Him aloud and picture Him sitting there. I probably look like I’m crazy but He is always with us, so why would He not be in the car with me?

YESSSSS

Every time I leave my house and I’m driving, I pray out loud that I drive safe and Jesus uses me to be…[Read more]

@theducktator

To clarify, I meant incorrect, not morally wrong.

OHHH okay that makes way more sense!!!!!! I totally see your point!!

I do talk to God somewhat casually, but I also call him God and say amen. XD So I get what you’re saying about how He wants to be involved with our lives, and I have been taught that. I’ve also been taught that He…

@trailblazer

But anyway… lest I start a debate, I’m going to get down off my soap box now.

Yeah, me too XD

One last thing: what they’re teaching sounds like critical race theory. According to Brittanica:

Critical race theory (CRT), intellectual and social movement and loosely organized framework of legal analysis based on the premise that rac…

@ellette-giselle @trailblazer @linus-smallprint

Wow.

Writer or not, that’s all I can think to say. I had no idea things were that bad; I actually enjoyed staying home and learning online. It was an escape. We only realized that maybe we shouldn’t have complied or that it was too much of an overreach after the pandemic was over. I’m…[Read more]

@trailblazer

First off, that story sounds incredibly intriguing. Not your average story, and maybe one that you can use to deal with things most people deal with, but don’t talk about.

For developing character arcs, I would suggest you 1. Find a message, 2. Find a flaw that corresponds and fits the character uniquely 3. Determine what the…[Read more]

@trailblazer

I’m not really good at making character arcs, but that a pretty good story you got there.

Tagging some more girlies!!
