DeepRun replied to the topic I NEED YOUR HELP! ANSWER THESE 4 QUESTIONS!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 days, 14 hours ago
1. Early on in college, a professor made a statement saying that he’d prefer a well painted picture of an apple to a badly painted portrait of Jesus. Coming out of a tight knit Holy Huddle environment this statement rattled me for some time. Now, I agree. For me, to read only literature produced by believers, would be turning a blind eye…[Read more]

DeepRun replied to the topic Let's talk about representation! in the forum Characters 1 week ago
I’d highly recommend Ted Dekker. Friends introduced me to his stuff this past fall and I’ve white knuckled devoured seven of his books. I’m pretty sure he collaborated with Peretti on a book. The Circle Trilogy is modern fantasy and the others are thrillers. Reminds me I’ve not read Peretti and really need too!
I’ve been sta…[Read more]

Wait, you want to read a story where two halfway “normal” people fall in love? No crippling pasts? No debilitating mental issues? No soul wrenching angst? My library has a very large section of Amish Romance…
Please hear the sarcasm dripping from that. Jane Austen has set a high standard. So high that…[Read more]

Alright, thanks for asking. Drawing human figures from memory is giving me trouble but in the grand scheme of things, if that’s my biggest current issue, I’m doing quite well.
Have you been able to paint anymore?

DeepRun replied to the topic An artist I am NOT. in the forum Art Discussions 1 week, 5 days ago
No one is inately born knowing how to draw. Some are able to see relationships better and then mimic them but it’s all a learning process. Hence, a little instruction not only goes a long way but gets you there quicker. It doesn’t have to be formal instruction. There are about a billion YouTube videos that offer “how to”. A lot…[Read more]

Have you ever been taught drawing?
Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, is a fantastic way to learn how to draw. So much of it is learning how to see and then translating that to paper. I.e., thing are shapes and translating those shapes into lines.

I do hope it’s well received. It’s a very intriguing story. One that should resonate within a Christian community. For many reasons.
I find it odd that SE does not publish more than they do. Or maybe I miss where and what they are publishing.
My own writing? I vacillate between delusions of grandeur and the pit of despair. The last…[Read more]

Glad to have been of any help. Are you submitting it to Story Embers or somewhere else?
-
Yup, submitted it to SE. Outside of SE I honestly have no interest in anything other than self publishing. I just got confirmation that Mariposa passed it off to the acquisitions editor and I should hear about it within a month, so we’ll see what happens.
How’s your own writing coming lately? (we might want to take this to email if it becomes a…[Read more]

Well… A while ago you asked me how my art was. Two painstaking weeks and one limping computer later, here’s how it is.

Thank you! I’d really appreciate that. I need a day or two to tighten up the first part then I’ll send you the link. I did start yours and it was very intriguing. I look forward to finishing up reading it.

Story Embers has given me such grief with evaporating posts that I know copy everything of length before posting it. Take that technology.
Is there a word that describes a joyful revulsion? It’s thrilling to read such beautifully descriptive info on things I’ve tried in vain to research. Yet, I can only read in small chunks s…[Read more]

Well that was incredibly informative!! Bravo! I almost threw up but it was so worth it.
So wait…. They used arsenic?!?
I might have about twenty other questions for you as well.

@esther-sears
I’m so sorry I don’t know of anyone off the top of my head. I’m in a group that does critiques and beta reading but their schedule is pretty full already. Have you posted on Story Embers asking? If you can’t find anyone, please let me know and I’ll bring it up with my group though, if that’d be helpful.I feel like there needs…[Read more]

@DeepRun Aw, well thanks! If you do know of anyone let me know ^_^ (Also, I’m more than willing to beta read for other people if anyone has the need!) I haven’t posted on the general forum yet… I should do that 😛 The general forum honestly scares me cuz there’s so many people and I don’t know anyone lol 😉 Thanks for all your help!! 😀

Not all art is beautiful. Some of the most powerful pieces are devastating to look at.
Also, if you write to heal, why wouldn’t that bring glory to God?
Trauma is part of the fabric of our human life. Others may not have experienced your exact circumstances; that doesn’t mean they haven’t felt similar pain. I’m always greatly enc…[Read more]

That Hideous Strength
Maybe not technically fantasy but Lewis calls it a fairy tale for adults in the introduction, so I’m claiming it. I’ve read it once a year for seven years running and I still find new things.

Well… I feel mortally ashamed of my geography skills. The lack thereof. Further reinforcing the stereotype of an ignorant resident of North America. Sorry about that!
I think you’re right and a group you could share with would be a better fit. If you post that need, I am sure people will respond.
