@morreafirebird I am! This thread is a great idea.
As for ideas… I am normally a fantasy person, but I like the idea of a story entirely in chat, like that Scamalot short story we wrote a while ago. I loved that story! I might do something like that. What about you?

Hello all!
This week we have something prepared for us by Maddie Morrow. Give it a read and let’s talk about it!

Forming Habits to Write Consistently
We’ve all seen the various memes out there laughing over the fact that writers want to be writers, without ever actually having to write.
And while I can appreciate a good meme, that s…[Read more]

Jeremiah 29:11 “I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD, “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
So how did everyone survive their goals last week? I did not really set any goals (I know, kinda hypocritical 😛). It was kinda an insane week. I’m hoping I will be able to do more this week…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist @morreafirebird @theinconceivable1 @selah-chelyah @ashira Guys I cannot thank you enough for your prayers and for your encouraging words! They mean so much to me through this difficult time. I know my family and I have felt the blessings of your prayers.

Hey guys… I would really appreciate some prayer right now. A while ago I asked a few of you to pray for my sister. She has struggled with some very difficult physical issues for the past ten years now (which I won’t go into detail about now), but especially in these last five years they’ve involved episodes of very severe seizures. Often…[Read more]

Oh, Grace, I’m so sorry your family has been going through this rough time. I’ll definitely pray for you all. Praying that God would use this situation for his Glory and that you would all feel his comforting presence surrounding you. Praying that God would bring healing in whatever way he knows is best. <3 Remember, you can do all things through…[Read more]

I’m so sorry to hear about this! I’ll be praying for your sister and your family. Though this is a tough storm, Jesus is still on the boat with you all and can calm the waves and the wind and is still with you even when He doesn’t seem to be <3

@morreafirebird Thank you for the encouraging words! I had been pondering it ever since last week’s discussion where I first started toying with the idea of the Eye of an Artist (I believe I called it the Artist’s Eye). It was my turn to write the discussion post this week, so I figured the timing was perfect and I had found my topic. 😀

Good evening, Ereki!
Today’s question comes from @sarah-inkdragon:
What’s your opinion on writing “realistic” books? Meaning as in the levels of gore, violence, etc. People seem to crave a realistic view to books and novels anymore, even in the fantasy genre, which has given rise to the ever-popular anti-hero. But where do you think you shoul…

@morreafirebird Yes! It is! I love that movie! The animation is really good and the story was great even though they changed things! And the books are really good too! 😀
Interesting fact, they changed Otulissa to be a short eared owl in the movie. It looks like they put make up on an owl, but that’s what they look like in real life. XD

@morreafirebird I really like your point that writing is actually predominantly thinking, because that works very well with the whole idea of maintaining the Artist’s Eye. That’s where the 75% comes in, thinking day by day, when we’re out in the world living our lives, accumulating an awareness for the beauty and truth illustrated all around us,…[Read more]
