Praying for these things! Hoping everything goes well and any emotional struggles will be comforted.

I don’t know how some of you people write romance novels. I have a new respect for y’all, because this is exhausting. Not bad, just exhausting.

@grcr

That’s a lot, haha. I bet many of them are siblings to the protagonists.

@linus-smallprint

I am also sorry if my previous comment came off as pushy. I was not frustrated at you at all, I was more curious than anything, and I really wanted to clarify what the conversation was about.

@linus-smallprint

If you want to discuss the actual morality of rebellion, I am open to do so. I am curious to know why some Christians believe it is okay to rebel and overthrow governments.

But yeah, maybe it is best if I talk to someone older. I will see what Douglas Bond says in his books.

That was where I thought the conversation was going,…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Ah, that makes sense. The problem of which country would have legal authority was the part that stumped me, and I figured Canada, which leads to nothing because I know nothing about Canada.

Really, I don’t mind if you don’t want to talk about it, I just thought you wanted to.

@linus-smallprint

I understand what you’re saying about personal conviction. I believe God is still with you anyway.

I’m trying to respectfully discuss the conviction itself, since you have argued the rebellion in Ellette’s book is a problem. You challenged the morality. You already put morality on the table. Thus, I was under the assum…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Is a POV blind spot bad?

Nah, not really. Depends on how you handle it. Females are 50% of the population and many of them must be firstborns. We know very little about them. It’s a world building thing, and you’ve had to choose where to spend your effort, so it’s not surprising you haven’t included them.

If you wanted to, all…[Read more]

@theshadow

Yeah, it’s pretty cool!

And if you don’t enjoy rock, that’s fine. Sometimes certain genres bothers a person and they don’t know why. It’s just a fact of their life. Many country songs rub me off the wrong way, and I don’t know why. 🤷‍♀️

You might have to explain what that thing is though XD.

Synesthesia? That’s where a person has de…[Read more]

*Cries in a corner*

I do like how in this book, we’re getting to see the perspective of one of the soldiers.

True.

It is also true, I forgot. We only have one female character so far. Other than what I call “extras.” And she isn’t from the city, so we have a POV blind spot, so to speak.

If you don’t think it’s a comparable scenario, I’d be curious to know why.

@linus-smallprint

I’m not going to dig myself too far into this convo. But the way I see it, the government is torturing the inhabitants of the city. They’re literally killing kids. So… I don’t know what to say, other than to pose the same situation in front of you and ask you what you would do. There’s no peaceful way to deal with this, and…[Read more]

XD It means the message got into his inbox. I think. Normally, all the moderators have something like @kingdompen.org for their email addresses, and that address does not work. Deus Lamb, however, is part of Story Embers and has another address.

@keilah-h

Yeah I know. I’m the kind of person who tries something over and over, even when it’s hopeless.
