Ahhh my goodness. 🤣 I think this is my favorite part yet, @mariposa! So good. 🤣
@the-fledgling-artist I’m glad you enjoyed the episode! Huh, that’s an interesting question. 🙂 I can’t think of any answers but I admit I’m curious to see what others would say. Any thoughts @josiah, @daeus-lamb? (And anyone else but this seems kinda up your alley. :P)
@pursuewisdom I’m glad you liked the episode! And yes. XD XD I have to admit that the outtakes at the end are quickly becoming my favorite part of each episode. XD
And thanks so much for tagging others. I’m not around the forum that much and didn’t know who all would be interested in this topic. 😅
Non-Christians don’t write stories preaching moral relativism, pragmatism, existentialism, or whatever -ism because they actively loath God (well, not most of the time) but because they are trying their hardest to find the closest thing to a belief system that adheres to their experience of reality.
Love this point.
And I could also identify as the self-righteous, sheltered kid who thought she had all of the answers once upon a time. The more I’ve grown in my storytelling these past few years, the more I have become focused on simply asking questions, as opposed to just forcing what I think is the answer down peoples’ throats. I think that’s a big step in becoming a storyteller who touches hearts by speaking to their needs, as you said.
I really love this question, Grace, but since I’m still young, I’m not aware of all the ways my faith works itself into my writing. (Still figuring all this out… )
Same, honestly. 😛
I’ve closed my eyes to the pain and trauma and heartbreak and have treated people like machines; if I can just get the right words pounded through their thick skull, I can convince them.
Oh my word, can I relate. *facepalm* I started writing right when I was at the peak of this sort of thinking. I’m convinced that studying great stories and talking over what it means to be a Christian storyteller with others is what finally shook me out of this mindset. Storytelling will always have a special place in my heart because of that, even if I’m more of a hobbyist writer now. 🙂
A couple high-heeled boots clomped in, followed by the skipping of some not as high, high-heeled boots.
*cries* ‘Tis too perfect for words, Mariposa! 😂 I am loving all the other characters popping up. XD *goes to try and forget all about this so that the pain of waiting for the next part isn’t so torturous*
Hey, @silverclaw-bonnetfolly!
In addition to the podcast page, you can listen to the podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, and TuneIn! We’re also currently in the process of putting it on Google Play (it should be up in less than two weeks). 🙂 If none of these options are available to you, let me know and I’ll see if I can get it somewhere more convenient for you to listen! 😀
I’m so glad that you found it helpful, @caleb-e-king and @taylorclogston! 😊😊
(@mariposa thx, for tagging me eeep. I wouldn’t wanna miss this! <3)
@anne-of-lothlorien I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOOVE IT! The swing and…tempo?…(at least that’s what my music-obsessed brain interprets it as XP)…are just beautiful! And that last stanza/paragraph/idkpoetryterminology=😍😍@inkling-for-Christ That’s crazy! What a small world, indeed. XD I’m sure this has happened to me as well I just can’t think of any particular situation atm. XD
@Mariposa AHHH. *much feels* 💛💛💛💛💛 When I found out that you were going to be working here at SE I was SO HAPPY. And if I’m an encouragement to you, it’s only because I was inspired by how much of an encouragement you are to everyone (myself included). 😊❤
@inkling-for-Christ I’m pretty sure you’re from Rillumen too. 😀 Greetings fellow guildmate!!
@snapper ACK! I know I’m late but CONGRATS! So cool that you know the day you started. 😀
Welcome to Story Embers, @emma-starr!
I love playing piano too! But I’ve gotten a bit out of practice this past year. 😅 Have you ever heard of David Nevue, by any chance? He’s my favorite artist. 😊
@Tolkaham-veruzia Hi there! Welcome to Story Embers. 🙂 Which of Sanderson’s books is this “Shardpool” from? I’ve been trying to get some of his books to read but my library system has very few copies and they’re never at the libraries near me. XD #bookwormproblems
I sometimes watch movies with Spanish subtitles too! Spanish has been one of my favorite subjects for years now. Kinda annoys my lil bro and sis though because I like to practice by saying everything in Spanish then translating afterward into English. 😛
