Enid

@whalekeeper I’m so sorry I’m this worked up over this. I’ve never gotten this excited over a fanfic before lol.

but….do you have the next chapters yet?

@whalekeeper awesome!  She sounds like a cool character if she’s best friends with Marcel lol

yep lol.

@freed_and_redeemed @loopylin @whalekeeper

this is unfished, but enjoy anyways.

Lesli smiles, looking around at the amassing crowd around her.

“Wow, I’ve never seen the shopping district so crowded!” She squeezes Tauren’s arm, being careful not to wrinkle his starched white shirt.

“Yeah…” Tauren scans the crowd easily, his h…[Read more]

Well because we seem to have already chatted abt this I’ll try to share something new lol. I really like facial expressions in manga and anime, their just so hilarious lol, and I strive to create the situations in my book that would make my characters make those expressions XD It’s really fun too me and definitely a reason I…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @freed_and_redeemed

So…I’ve been thinking…

I really hate how much im not on and not RP-ing…because I hate how I feel like it keeps yells cherries trapped and unable to RP…but at the same time I don’t want to remove Paxton from the RP…

And maybe im just worrying but…I was thinking maybe, since you both already know…[Read more]

@whalekeeper Oooh, I love this topic – thanks so much for starting it!

Honestly, I resonate a lot with what @trailblazer said about writing because you’re a storyteller. I’m the kind of person who’s been scribbling stories for as long as I can remember. I don’t think I ever sat down and went “I’m going to write a story because xyz” – I tell…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Right! You have similar themes, you just don’t press into the theme as directly.

Yeah, that’s a good way to put it.

@freed_and_redeemed

Now I feel like I probably write more emotion than most of y’all here😂

Which is not a bad thing! You write them really well 😊 And I feel like your books, at least what I’ve read of them, focus m…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed @loopylin @whalekeeper @trailblazer

Y’all have made some really good points!! I like hearing all your thoughts on this topic. I honestly feel like there’s not a one-size-fits-all answer to the topics of preachiness and theme. They differ for each genre, each story, each author, and each plan God has for the authors and the…[Read more]

@loopylin Ack, don’t apologize! I didn’t really read all of your message when I posted, haha, so don’t feel bad at all <3

I actually love what you said…you put it in a very good and compassionate and understanding way, and I appreciate that💖

@loopy @whalekeeper

I’ve had a lot on my mind lately, and I’m trying to figure some things out in life…[Read more]

@whalekeeper I like the format, actually. It feels like spiraling, distracted thoughts. Probably wouldn’t work for many other characters other than Seb though lol

Eddie

Ellie locked eyes with Sebastian and stared, her face expressionless. Then she kept staring. And kept staring.

Eddie rolled her eyes. Ellie always did this whenever she was t…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I have been stalking this topic, trying to figure out why I write, and the best answer I could come up with is because I love it. (I know, so profound.) I love my characters, I love watching them interact, (especially when it’s awkward), I love how most of them insult each other, yet love each other very deeply. Most of them have s…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I have not denounced Marvel, lol, I am just not watching/writing it as much as I once did as I have more of a passion/need for the things of God <3

That clears up a couple things.

Ok, here’s where I need to clear something up: what I meant by what I said is that it IS being ashamed of the Gospel if you don’t include the truth of…[Read more]

Ok I’m jumping in here cuz this looks fun and my tiny brain is experiencing thoughts hi

@freed_and_redeemed @whalekeeper

(i understand if you write just for fun, but if you’re actually wanting to write for God, this is something more along those lines…)

Ok, so, I don’t think there’s a difference between a Christian writing for fun and writing f…[Read more]

@whalekeeper Why I write?

Um….

Well, I was horrible at writing anything. Fiction, nonfiction, you name it. My parents gave me a notebook and a book of prompt when I was 8, and after much fussing, I eventually sat down and wrote a story from the perspective of an electric eel. Then I wrote another one. Then another one. Then another. They were…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Yeah 😊😊 And heehee… I will definitely share it… 😏

@whalekeeper @esther-c

I wholly agree with @trailblazer on this one.

Writing can be serious at times and fun at others. But I don’t agree that our writing should just be to “entertain” others.

Yes, people should like it and have fun with it, but if our writing is just for showing a small lesson and “entertainment”, I think we have a few things…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Great topic idea!

First and foremost, I write because I want to show the light of Christ through fiction. Why fiction? Because I love stories and I love reading and I have realized how powerful words can be.

Stories (those that are filled with truth, at least) have helped me learn new things and see the world in a different way.…[Read more]
