@Sarah-Inkdragon Basically, what @R-M-Archer said.

You know, I really don’t think a book can be “too dark” if it continually and fiercely shows the light of Christ combating that darkness. We live in a fallen world. Life is harsh. People are sinful. These are facts of life, and diminishing them only diminishes what you’re trying to say about…[Read more]

@Elizabeth I concur with what they all said.

Also, this is really pretty. I don’t really read fanfiction, but I’m pretty sure this is way better than 90% of it.

Also, hello fellow Winter Soldier fan.

@R-M-Archer Oh man. I understand exactly what you’re going through with your friend, because I’ve had multiple experiences of the same ilk myself. I’ll be praying for you. Those are some toughies.

And hey, as your fellow Saxon and someone who has personally dealt with and partially conquered all three of those issues over the past four or five…[Read more]

@Elizabeth Ah yes, that lovely point in time when we come to realize that maaaybe our spiritual journey is just as complicated as everyone elses’. Praying for you, dear. And for your writing rut.

@Corissa Definitely praying.

Well that was beautiful.

As far as mechanics goes, it’s GORGEOUS. I can’t get over the descriptions. The constant mental images of graveyards and fake flowers—beautiful. The emotions, also, I thought were very well done. Not too much so as to stray into the realm of melodrama, but enough to be absolutely wrenching. Very nice. As far as…[Read more]

@J-A-Penrose I’m about to walk out the door to go to co-op, but I’ll give it a look when I get back.

*delicate coughing* I just remembered that triceratops are herbivores.

Disregard any and all previous statements, because not only did they not happen, but they DEFINITELY did not happen.

@NCStokes Well I have to keep things interesting around here, after all. Maintain the enigma, and all that rot.

*crashes off into the underbrush, bellowing for meat*

*blinks innocently* Pretend that never happened.

@Daeus Yigh. That sounds complicated. I’ll be praying.

Wow, @Kate! All this time, I never knew you were a fossil.

Shame on your computer.

@Kate What, these things? 😵🤗🤯🤮

If you have an updated version of Windows 10, then your computer probably has them. On the keyboard, if you hit the windows button and the period button at the same time, the emoji tab should pop up.

@Kate TRUTH. Same goes for Vin, I think. But in their case, they had abnormal powers, so I suppose they weren’t exactly playing the reputation game fairly… 😏

GUYS. THESE ARE EPIC. Great going, Avensbeck. You totally deserved this.

Hatred. How dare they kill all these innocent people when they’re as guilty as sin? Or maybe more powerfully, how dare they kill all these guilty people when they’re guilty of the exact same things?

@Kate I can tell that you’ve definitely NOT been reading the Stormlight Archive. 😂

Let it be known that I have never laughed so hard while reading about such a morbid subject. You guys are nuts. XD

Something that really annoys me about the assassin trope is that they generally look intimidating. They’re either the cocky vigilante with an ego the size of a mountain and a reputation even larger, or the silent, deadly types who…[Read more]

@R-M-Archer Urgh, I know your pain. Something I used to do back when I hated writing’s guts was find some random piece of something that made me happy (a character, a future scene I liked the idea of, something random from a book I didn’t even intend to write, a warm fuzzies moment I’d had crashing around my head for forever) and just… wrote it.…[Read more]

Well, I accomplished my goal. (Not that it was very grand, but oh well.) My goals for this week are to update my blog design and start putting together a newsletter, figure out a certain piece of character art that has been giving me grief, and write 3,000 words.

This sounds surprisingly ambitious of me.
