Most writers have more story ideas than they know what to do with. If you’re in this boat, you need to know how to cut through the clutter and make the right decisions. Here are a few things I’ve learned that have helped me.

Write everything down

Writing your story ideas down cements them in your brain. You’ll be ab…[Read more]

oof, I get the busy part! I just got back from summer camp as a councilor a couple weeks ago and it’s been non-stop ever since!

As for writing, I tend to write a large variety. But my theme/goal is always to communicate the unwavering love Jesus has for us, as well as the emotional healing and soul-restoration He has for…[Read more]

I’m Grace, and as for how I’m doing… life is pretty busy, especially in the summer when I have a lot of volunteering/camps to be involved in. I thought I would have more time to write, but I’m afraid not.

What kind of things do you write?

Thank you for answering my question. 🙂 I’m encouraged to hear you believe as I do that being feminine is a strength and that God can give us the strength to become this. But I was wondering, do you think God made all women to be feminine? Different from men in a way that is more than physical?

Everyone is different and I wouldn’t expect…[Read more]

Yes, I thought so to. 🙂

 

@cassandraia

I just wanted to encourage your desire of being a wife and possibly a mother someday. That’s not only a beautiful goal, but I think also a very noble one. 🙂 Personally being a wife is one of the most satisfying areas of my life and after being married for nearly two years now it just keeps getting…[Read more]

And I don’t believe that all women need to be nurturers and all men need to be protectors, but I still agree. Especially within Christian circles sometimes. I see it especially with guys who use the Bible to justify oppressing women and being absolutely awful. And often you don’t feel comfortable admitting…[Read more]

I always wondered why male characters are allowed to be strong in ways that don’t pertain to fighting, but women aren’t. Sure, we have Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and Boromir who are all physically strong people, but I’ve yet to hear it be said that Samwise Gamgee is weak simply because he’s only 3 feet tall…[Read more]

That was a fun, edifying thread. I’m pretty sure that’s how I most got to know my guildmates. We should resurrect that.
