Also like, if you said Gospel-thematic stories were the only good stories… you’re cutting out a whole lot of stories. Stories can be chill, they don’t have to carry the whole fate of the world on their backs. Should I attack a puzzle mystery show for not including a biblical message? You might as well critique every human-made thing with the same…[Read more]

So, as I said, I’m just debating the opposite side from you, so I most likely do not believe what I’m saying.  In fact, I’m personally more inclined to agree with your side.

Alriiiiight *cracks knuckles* Hopefully this makes sense (:-P)

I agree that sometimes a gospel storyline can feel forced when added randomly into a plot, but it just h…

girl I thought you seriously dissagreed what I said. I’m not used to you responding to discussions with such short answers and I’m used to ‘touching a nerve’ meaning like…

I’ve been stressing about it sm today LOL

I gasped out loud when you said that 😮 Oh no… I’m so sorry I came off that way! I replied quickly because I h…[Read more]

I think there’s a place for stories that present the Gospel, but also stories that may not necessarily present the Gospel. God calls us to all write different things, and honestly? I think that’s what’s most beautiful about these Christian writing communities and what each of us write

Exactly! If we were all writing the same…[Read more]

@loopylin
Yeah, just the topic is awkward because I feel like I could do better 😖 A guy once pointed out that I act distant around him, and I had to explain that eye contact is not natural for everyone on the planet. (I was also distant because he liked me, but that’s neither here nor there.)
I don’t beat myself up about it, but I still try to do…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

I love this😭😭 so well put and so true.

Me too!! Someone in our church was diagnosed with cancer a while back, and that was a hard week for everyone. You could feel the underlying exhaustion, but I think I was greeted ten times more by different members. People were just thankful for the support they still had. That hardship,…[Read more]

I would love to hear anyone’s thoughts, not just Rae’s. I’m still trying to put my opinions together so they may change.

@rae

Actually, that’s explained better than i could have XD.

Lol, maybe I should be a thought interpreter when I grow up. If that’s a thing.

I can see both sides of the issue, but I feel neutral for lack of data. If anyone be willing, I’d be glad to slip into a character cloak and debate either side.

Sure, I would love to talk about it! This top…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Ok, That’s alright. You know I’ll always give you my honest opinion and we can’t possibly agree on everything. Thanks for being kind about it.💗

Of course! By the way, I didn’t mean to sound like I disagree with anything you said. When I said you touched nerves, I meant those thoughts felt very applicable to second-hand pain…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I really enjoy it! It’s the editing that can get a little tedious. The formatting is the fun part.

Good! I thought so! I bet it takes a lot of research to learn. I wouldn’t know how big the font should be, for example.

Do you title your chapters or number them, by the way? Cuz I’m divided on the subject. I never read chapter t…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Okay, I don’t want to enter fight mode, I just like asking questions 😅 Am I false if I say something like, idk, “be careful what you wish for?” A movie like Aladdin is about how humans can go too far with their wishes. I’ve read plenty of stories like that, and I don’t think they’re wrong.

You can choose to not reply. I’m just…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Just letting you know I read your thoughts, and some of them touched nerves, so I appreciate the time you took to write them out ❤️

@ellette-giselle

My book update is that I’m now in the formatting process of my next book!!!!! I’m hoping to have the proof copy by no later then next week!!!!! I’m pretty excited! (In case…

Dude needs help lol. He’s pretty much cursed from the get go. Emmie is good though. I like the idea of a person who remains power-hungry throughout their life, but doesn’t go fully villain because of their partner. It’s like the opposite of Macbeth.

@rae

RAE!!! I caaaaaaaan’t share this!! Secrets keep me going! Plus it wouldn’t read understandably without context. Nevertheless, thank you for the support LOL XDXD

I started a new short story about Tomoko Tadashi Tama (I think that’s what his full name is gonna be, still on fence) but I just discovered that the name Tomoko is supposed to be a g…

And it being an unconventional one is the best 😜

Exactly! 🤪 Thx for responding to my little ramble 😚

Honestly prob gonna take a short break from editing bc as much as I love them, I need a break from Leon and Riker XD

and idk it’s a little more difficult when editing, bc I’m reading over things I’ve already written and rewri…

@mineralizedwritings

Making something unique yet consistent is really important to me. But so hard to pull off XD

I like having two different ones to rotate between, it keeps me from getting bored lol. Thanks! I’m glad you’re interested in it. Honestly for so long ATOH was like my special project but now I’m not sure which one means more to me.

To be clear, I’m not attacking Keilah, I’m just generally defending the use of magic in these generally avoided series.

A fantasy book telling the reader not to read fantasy books would be hypocritical.

I think a lot of this can be simplified through common sense. Were these books meant to be imitated? Were they portraying real sorcery positively, or just using for an obviously fantastical story? If Alan (or even better, his parents, since he was young and easily…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yeah, thanks!! I hope it stands up to my claims when I write it! 😝
