									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey, since this group is new, I want to know what y&#8217;all are writing. If you could describe your WIP by merging the concepts of two existing mysteries (i.e. &#8220;My novel is <em>North by Northwest </em>meets <em>Doctor Who—</em>I know, neither of which is a novel), what would they be?</p>

<p>I&#8217;m so glad you want to write middle-grade fiction—that&#8217;s one of the most underdeveloped genres in Christian fiction. Have you written any other stories before, or will this be your first?</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Really insightful post, Maddie. I&#8217;ve never heard someone put it into so many words, but it makes perfect sense! Do you think every story should have a villain? Or is an antagonist sometimes enough on its own?</p>

I studied French and Spanish at different times in high school, but I&#8217;m not conversational in either (especially by now).</p>
<p>Asian languages always seemed like a much tougher hurdle to me, since you have to learn not only the words themselves, but also a new alphabet and syntax as well.

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='https://storyembers.org/members/morreafirebird/' rel="nofollow ugc">@morreafirebird</a> Anything by Frank E Peretti is a big win for me. I hate picking favorites, but if I did, he’d top the list as an author. I’ve been expanding my palette with YA lately, reading a lot of books like &lt;i&gt;I Am Number Four, Unwind, Dear Evan Hansen, Mortal Engines&lt;/i&gt; … It’s not a genre I’ve read extensively in before, but it’s been&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-71507"><a href="https://storyembers.org/activity/p/71507/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

Although the fact that you&#8217;re a traditional artist first means you have a huge advantage over those who started in digital.

<p>Six moves in five years is pretty crazy &#x1f602; It can be fun to move to other states, but six times is definitely a lot haha.

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='https://storyembers.org/members/deeprun/' rel="nofollow ugc">@deeprun</a> hi, thanks for the welcome! To answer your question, motion graphics design is the creation of animated elements for video like titles, infographics, logos, and even characters. The work I do usually involves product or text graphics, but I’ve gotten a chance to do a lot of animated characters as well!</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey <a href='https://storyembers.org/members/urwen-starial/' rel="nofollow ugc">@urwen-starial</a>. I write adventure fiction within whatever genre strikes my fancy. Lately, I’ve been developing a YA thriller that has heavy urban fantasy elements, which has been stretching me quite a bit. Thrillers fascinate me, but actually writing them is a new area for me that I’m having fun exploring. What about you?</p>

<p>But I should be polite, so here&#8217;s a little about me:</p>
