It’s totally fine, I haven’t been on here in a while either for the same reason.
Ya, I noticed some that he mentions food when they eat. But I didn’t think about it that it’s probably to show the difference between the different cultures of each people group. I like that though.
The growth after a fire is always really lush and I like it…[Read more]

Elina raised an eyebrow. “Magic?”
Magic was used to heal, and in rare cases, to create. So, she supposed that the castle could have been created through magic, although it would have taken ten people at least, all with an immense amount of experience. However, that still didn’t explain how their little group had been…[Read more]

“My name and parentage is far more than any still living in my own world know. Just because I have done as I have does not mean that I trust you.”
“That’s understandable,” Nadia muttered, probably loud enough to be heard. Louder, she said “We should probably figure out what brought us all here. Some magic is my guess, but what purpose or inten…[Read more]

Accidentally posted the other one before I was done answering your previous post. xP
Ya, I’m excited, even though I haven’t done much for it yet. I have a friend who’s been blogging for a few years now and I love her blog, so I’ll definitely get her to help me a lot. I agree. It would be better for me to take my time and have everything…[Read more]

No kidding! He does have a lot of songs in his stories, but I sorta like it. If they’re too long then it gets sorta boring, but I like the uniqueness of it.
Wow, that would be so weird to actually see the fires! I saw the place that is only about ten minutes out of town where the fire went through and burned just about everything, and it…[Read more]

Haha, ya, I guess that’s exactly what stories are too. xD So I suppose the only differences between songs and stories are that songs have music and are shorter.
xD That’s hilarious! We don’t get much rain in the summer, which makes so the forest gets really dry. There are often forest fires in the summer because of it, and last summer, my…[Read more]

Hi Fitz,
I wanted to point out some of your very fine statements:
Those particular words “true Love has much more to do with choice than attraction” are very insightful and needed.
Another very insightful statement:

Hi Fitz,
Per your quote…
…this is not what I intended, however, since we are Christian writers here, we do want to consider the messages we are sending even in our fiction. It is time we stopped flirting with the world’s ideas of romance and took a good look at the real thing. I have been married for twenty-one years. I do th…[Read more]

Dear Neasa and Fitz,
I have very much enjoyed this conversation. Fitz, you have provided some excellent advice. Too often real people mistake this simple truth between humans:
“Love is in the earning, not in the yearning.”We are too often attracted to people and things that are the most harmful to us.
I think…[Read more]

Neasa replied to the topic Howdy, all. in the forum Introduce Yourself 3 years, 6 months ago
So, to answer your question more directly, yes, it can work. Romances are difficult to write but oh so rewarding when done well, and a worthwhile challenge to undertake. I have a lot of thoughts and they are connected somewhere between loosely and strongly, so bear with me if this gets a bit ramble-y XD Also forgive me if some of what I say…

Oh, by the way, I love your profile picture. 😀 My family and I just finished watching the Lord of the Rings, so it’s now on my mind more than usual. Memes are the best, so it’s a nice combination.

It’s true. Songs are basically just compact stories, or at least sometimes. Other times they are a heart crying out their feelings to the world. That’s more often what my songs are.
Wow, I can’t even imagine not having snow! Well that’s not true. I can, but I don’t like the idea of it. 😛 Haha. My extended family is mostly in Ohio, so when…[Read more]
