J.A.Penrose replied to the topic Guild War : A Believable Conversion in the forum Announcements 7 years, 3 months ago
One of the things that’s coming to my mind regarding stakes, it that ultimately, the stakes are as high as they can get already. The quiet moment of handing over your life to God when you’ve grown up in a Christian home but have only just truly felt that overwhelming peace, as well as his majesty, is just as powerful as someone who surrenders to…[Read more]

For those who don’t know, we are now starting to work together to post the annual theme discussion, and this time around, it’s on the exciting art of the Writing Life. This course/section won’t be super practical for right now, but maybe we can be using it later, and being sure to build up and appreciate the amazing relationships with other…[Read more]

Steward of the Pen replied to the topic Guild War : A Believable Conversion in the forum Announcements 7 years, 3 months ago
I’ve never written a conversion scene before (*coughs* except for the one in the story I wrote when I was nine, and that was utterly horrible). I did write my testimony last summer before I was baptized, but my story, like @trufflehunter‘s, was pretty boring since I had very little life before Christ (thankfully!). Although that is ideal, it…[Read more]

Woo-wie! This is a toughie! I’ve never written this sort of thing before. We should make it very emotional. Like, life or death maybe? My immediate thoughts are that we need to give…[Read more]

Prompt: “Write a believable conversion scene”

It’s been forever since I’ve said anything. And agh I am so sorry.
This time, I was aware that I wouldn’t be about. However, in the hectic mess of life, I had assumed I had asked someone to step in until things at this end were sorted out. So, either I totally forgot to do that, or no one actually took it on and it got forever lost in the…[Read more]

Hey Parimis!
The entry is completed and @j-a-penrose has asked me to let you know that she will be submitting it shortly (she’s having technical difficulties getting on the forum). Stellar work, everyone! Thank you all for the effort you put into making this entry great. It was fun working with y’all, as always!
And now we await the results……[Read more]

I think we’ve pretty much marked up the whole document at this point, haha! So as soon as our guildmaster comes through and resolves the edits, we’ll be in good shape.
Good job, everyone!

@silverclaw-bonnetfollyI would be VERY careful with the idea of a fairytale. It really is seriously likely to fall under cliché too easily.

I…actually like it! I’m in the middle of reading Hope Ann’s “Burning Rose” book, and I love how she puts her own spin on the common fairy tale. Maybe we could model ours off of that!

We’d have to do something less common, however. Like–*gasps*–BRAINWAVE!!!! BRAINWAVE!!!!

@taylorclogston @julia I think we could do a sequel or two, depending on how many other things authors often say. I’ll have to check the “Crazy Writers, Artists, and Dragons” thread to see if there’s any more. It’s where I got most of the quotes for the first one.
Glad you liked the video!!

Hey Parimis!
What’s up. (:
Well, I’ve been working on a short story for a contest and I was hoping for some feedback since I don’t write short stories that much.
It’s called The Year of the Daisy and is short (haha, most of my short stories aren’t short but this one had a word limit xD) It’s about 2500 words. Okay 2498. ;P
Anyways, I would…[Read more]
