Daeus Lamb

@daeus-lamb: “I just happened to look at your tag and saw you were an INTJ and grinned.” I’m going to take that as a compliment XD (what type are you BTW?)

“I was trying to aim for a balance when I said ‘consciously aware’ because I think some people have the idea that the subconscious is this thing you’re not aware of, but then (in my mind) b…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb: um, well I would disagree. You see I would argue “I think of you always” is a figure of speech when, in reality, what the mean is “I think of you often” You can only have one consous train of thought in your mind at one time (eg, you can’t do math and write simaltaionsly… well, unless your writing math but that’s beside the point…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb *pops in real quick* It seems like a very sound argument. Now, writing consciously doesn’t mean we’re writing overtly Christian stories. The themes might still be subtle and background. But I think any story will be stronger for a conscious thought process and point.

The main thing about your ‘argument’ that struck me is that I’ve…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb

Okay, I get it now. Thank you. (Suddenly gets super clue on hands)

NONONONONONO! (Tries rubbing it off. Fails.) Now I have super clue on my hands. (That happened while I was typing. I’m not joking.)

@daeus-lamb: Hey-o, comming in a little late here but I thought it was pretty good but I would like to challenge this sentence proposed in point 2 “To abide completely, we must be unceasingly conscious of God and our relationship with him.” To be ‘unceasingly conscious’ means ‘to be thinking about God constantly’ does it not? Yet, even as you r…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb   I’ve actually never heard of that piece of advice before (you shouldn’t worry too much about how to write a story that glorifies God because if you’re a Christian you can’t help but express your love for the God you know.)

It doesn’t sound like advise a christian would give? Basically write without thinking of how (or if) it will af…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb

I haven’t heard that argument before (that we shouldn’t worry too much about glorifying God through writing, it just flows), and unless you are a Corrie Ten Boom or someone else who has suffered greatly for Christ, I think that is a really dumb thing to say.

I was actually ranting about some of this yesterday (to the confusion and…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb

Love this! Thank you very much!!

@daeus-lamb

So true. I need to remind myself that I can’t just have a little time with God and then go the rest of my day forgetting about Him. He needs to be on our minds with everything we do. That’s so hard!!

@daeus-lamb Wow, Daeus, that really hit home!  “A branch that spends 1hr a day in the vine is pretty much dead.” I really like that line!  It is very easy for me to try to glorify God with my stories, while I kinda forget about Him in every other area of life.

@daeus-lamb

Oh thank you! 🙂 I learned it from story embers.

@daeus-lamb

I am gonna read this when I get some time…🙂

@daeus-lamb I LOVE ideas 1, 2, and 4. I’d say if it works out, y’all should go for it.

I’m with @eden-anderson and @cassandraia about number 3 though. I realize that this might make it quicker and easier for guilds to form, but when the guilds are done right they are worth the wait. Also, where would the leadership come from? I think this could…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb This is very interesting and helpful!

This has sparked all kinds of ideas for my WIP- it’s a mystery, so foreshadowing is a very big element I’m working on correcting (I’m technically rewriting the book, and I first wrote it when I was 12, so… there’s a lot to correct 😛 ).

I don’t have a lot of time right now to explain 3 ways I…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb

There’s no magic in the world I’m currently building, but there is world building through plot. 🙂  In the story, some of the earliest world building happens as the main character thinks to herself about how the inventor that she works for is changing the world through his work.  Since the story is set in the Victorian era with s…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb that’s like seven years of thinking condensed into one post. 😛

@lin @the-fledgling-artist Thanks for commenting guys! It makes me feel so much better to know I’m not alone! ❤️

@evelyn

Aw, thanks! You are so encouraging and inspiring! *squishes you to death with hedge-hugs*

Thanks so much for the advice!! THIS IS SO AWESOME!!! I can’t wait to try out what I’ve learned! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb

@cassandraia oops, you beat me to posting! I love the pearl/goddess thing. Super cool! And that is such a sad but intriguing idea with the lotus. I would totally read that. Great job. It’s making me sad and angry just thinking about it. 😛
