Thanks, Elizabeth!! I wasn’t entirely sure if I wanted to try it/if I could properly pull it off, but I think I’ll try. I knew I wanted to include Christian elements, so I thought this would be an interesting concept and sideplot:) *Phew!* I’m glad you think it wouldn’t be strange, because then I would’ve been more stumped XD And…[Read more]

Thanks, Joy!! I’m so glad you think so!!:) Yay, thank you for sharing this incredible piece of advice!! It was immensely helpful, and I’m especially glad you pointed that out about incorporating Christianity into fantasy–I guess I don’t see much of that done, now that I think of it. Exactly, you worded that exceptionally well!:) A…[Read more]

Thank you, Issa!! I was hoping that was a good decision to include, because I wanted to portray Christianity through this book and thought it would be an interesting idea:) And I think that’s an incredible idea–not using names but only referencing stories, or even some parables/lessons that Jesus taught without going into detail.…[Read more]

Thank you, Jen, for your helpful reply!!! That’s an interesting thought to consider, and would work well with combining the two of them:) Thank you! And I like the idea of an allegory, using characters to represent Jesus. Great idea!:)

Thank you for your reply, Lin!!:) And that’s a great help: I wanted to include the Bible because that would work well with my character’s arc of becoming a Christian, though I wasn’t sure if that would be odd. So thank you for clarifying, and yes, I’ll keep that in mind!! I wanted to give the idea that heaven and hell still…[Read more]

(I’m sincerely sorry if y’all got this duplicated…)
I’m not entirely certain how to word this, but here’s my question: how should I portray a character reading the Bible even though my story is in a fantasy world?

I’m not particularly sure how to word this, but here is my question: how should I write about a character reading the Bible if they’re in a fictional world? I want to include strong Christian elements in my novel, though I can’t help but feel a little nervous since it’s fantasy and takes place in a different world. Would it be odd to write about t…[Read more]

Aw, I’m sorry, girl! I can definitely understand being stressed over school. But I promise it’ll be okay and you’ll hit a break eventually:) But don’t push yourself too hard–even if you don’t make your word count, you still made progress, and that’s all that NaNo is about:) So don’t feel bad if you don’t hit your goal–just do what you…[Read more]

Yes, I know that feeling! *facepalms* I always think it’s going to be much easier, but nope. Oh well. On one hand, it will be fun writing on a new story, but on the other hand, I’m going to miss my characters from Fortitude and will feel guilty for getting attached to new ones XD And thank you so much!!
