You’re always welcomed on my team!
Cool! I have a nephew that loves sci-fi styled stories! What’s your blog’s link? I’d love to visit sometime!
Mine is a fantasy novel; it’s about two siblings who rescue a lost phoenix and try to keep her safe from a tyrannical king and his minion.

Hi Natalie! I like your choice of themes.
Ah, I’m working on a middle-grade novel too! What’s the premise of yours, if you don’t mind me asking? *high-fives fellow middle-grade writer*

Good morning Natalie,
It is ironic, isn’t it, that the Bible has many very dark accounts in it, yet some Christian publishers shy away from authentic darkness that emerges into hope. In my Bible, Psalms 23 tells me that God walks with me in the “Valley of the Shadow of Death” and teaches me to “Fear no evil, for [His] rod (of…[Read more]

Darkness, irony, triumph, courage, crossroads, hope

Hi Natalie,
Welcome to the crew for you. We are often a misunderstood group because God calls each one of us down a unique path of gift expression.

For Sale: Baby Shoes. Never Worn.
Lately, I’ve become obsessed with six word stories (and no, in case you were wondering, I didn’t come up with the above story; wished I did, though 😊. According to rumors, it’s a famous short story written by Hemingway, though, not proven).
