    I’m so mad, I had a perfect, GIANT analysis for @rose-colored-fancy, I posted it, edited a misspelling aND STORY EMBERS ATE THE ENTIRE POST 🙁

    The basic jist though:

    Idk about any of you, but I’m more likely to pray about my writing when I’ve included a touchy subject.  However, it occurred to me that there’s a lot that can sneak in with that mindset.  I think that a lot of Christians (myself included) tend to be preoccupied with “content” but not necessarily themes and little messages, which can honestly be pretty dangerous.  For example, there’s a lot of clean, wholesome Christian romance books that portray a prosperity gospel where a woman’s faith is will be rewarded with a handsome guy (which…talk about objectifying!)  Or, things as small as unintelligent characters being fit in this undignified “comic relief” box and not getting any character outside of that – that sends a bad, untruthful message as well!  So, I’m learning that I need to be more proactive about praying about my writing, period.  Not just praying about how to write Kit.  Not just praying about how to include my faith, and how to include God in this world and story He’s given to me.  I need to pray about the whole thing (even the parts I might think are perfectly fine), because I’m a sinful and flawed human and God’s perspective is so much bigger and greater than mine.  Plus, since He’s all knowing…He knows more about writing than anyone else…so I might as well go to Him for advice on that too XD  It’s definitely something I need to practice more, that’s for sure!

     

    ALSO I have since discovered that Kit’s given name is indeed Christopher.  Why am I telling you this?  Well, for those of you who may have had the misfortune of knowing a certain brat named Basil in the previous generation of castle inhabitants, Kit and Basil are basically adopted brothers at this point and have the absolute FUNNIEST broship dynamic.  In fact this broship has officially been given such a cursed name that I had to share it

    I’ll have you all know I had no hand in this.

    You’re all welcome

    I actually want to (temporarily) bring Basil back just for this challenge ngl.  He’s changed a lot since I last had him in here and know for a fact that he could not care less if anyone saw what exactly his biggest regret is because he truly believes he did nothing wrong (honestly given the circumstances…I don’t blame him).  I think he’d just come to eat the food and whine at Lord Castle tbh
