    You’re welcome!

    …soft brat?

    Idk, Basil is just…very Basil XD

    😂 that’s actually a really good description XD

    Also, I didn’t know you’re an artist too!  Are you a digital or traditional painter?

    I’m a traditional painter. Computers and I don’t get along very well (I even prefer to write with pen and paper, especially first drafts).

    Yeah…I feel like it’s hard because writers tend to fall outside of social norms to some degree? I’ve always had a hard time fitting in, but it especially hurts in Christian settings tbh. It’s just so hard to find other creatives with similar values, and that’s one reason why SE has just been such a huge blessing! I also just love that it’s a genuinely strong and mature Christian community. It’s not just Christian in name only – there’s a whole community of dedicated believers who want to talk about faith and how that plays into our writing, and it’s just so healthy and honestly challenging (in a good way). Idk about you, but SE has really challenged me to dig deep into my values, what I believe, how I uphold my Christian values in my writing, and how to articulate those (both to people here and in my writing!) Also I just love all of these little niches in the community – each group feels like it has such a distinct culture, and you really get to grow alongside an established group 🙂

    Yes. And I’m also glad that this is a genuine Christian community. When I was first looking into SE, I was super cautious because I was concerned that it might have been a Christian-in-name-only thing. Thankfully, it proved to be otherwise 🙂. It really is a blessing that I found it. I had been going to a secular website for information about writing, but it just didn’t have either the information I needed, or the purpose I knew writing should have, or the depth of community, or, in short the “healthy and honestly challenging” environment SE has.

    “Wait you can do that!?!?” Ehud gasped staring at the summoned Lord Castle. He grabbed a chair, ready to hurl it. “I call dibs!!!”

    That’s hilarious 🤣
