@naiya-dyani Thank you so much!! *munches on chocolate covered berries and cake* If feels amazing to be done! 😀

And thanks so much for all the word warring you did with me! It was so much fun and  a huge motivation to me. You’re the best! 😍

@r-m-archer Thank you, Archer! ❤️ Keep up the good work!!

@kari-karast Thanks! Oooh, this snacks are…[Read more]

@emgc Nice! I’m actually behind at about 7k.

Anyone wanna word war?

Hey guys, just a quick question. If I created a thread for all the people doing NaNoWriMo to hang out on/do word sprints…would you guys be interested? Or would it just be another distraction? 🙃 There are already a bunch of places for NaNoWriMo peeps to hang out (like the NaNo forums) but I thought I’d suggest this anyways…

@jenwriter17 @r-m-ar…[Read more]

@ncstokes Those are cute.

@deeprun Yep. Those are some valuable lessons there, I think ran into some of them. (1&2 for this Inktober) That picture looks really good though. 🙂

@ariella-newheart oooh, it’s pretty.

@sageinthemeadow Never give up! Never surrender! 😀 Those are beautiful! I love them!
I am a bit curious about the skeleton horse in…[Read more]

@deeprun *winces* I understand. Digital art can be tricky. (Seriously, those skin tones!) Good job on that most recent picture. What was the prompt for it?

And yeah, I’m behind a few days, too. It’s mostly because I couldn’t think of anything to draw based on the prompts. I managed to do one today, though.

@ashira

Makes me wonder what that guy…

@ncstokes, Insanity indeed! XD I can’t wait to see what you create. I had a hard time coming up with an idea for today, but I think I finally have something I like. We’ll see how it turns out. 😛

@chalice Thank you!! And I thought of that, too.

@ncstokes Thanks, it took a lot of brainstorming! 😉

@deeprun Ha! I’ve always thought digital was intimidating. But ink still scares me a little too, which is why I tend to use watercolor most of the time. 🙂

@ncstokes, Yeah, I think I heard about it late last year too. Happy to have you along! Have you gotten started yet?

@deeprun, I don’t think I’ve heard of that program before. It sounds pretty nice, though!

@corine Strange. Maybe it will work if I try. (:

@ncstokes Yay! *dances around in spaghetti*

@ncstokes Eyyy. You’re doing NaNo then? 😀

@ncstokes 😀

@ncstokes Thanks for accepting! 😀

@w-o-holmes petrichor? No I had never heard of that, but I love it!

@ncstokes XD I see lol.

@ncstokes Sounds like fun! What type of songs do you like to write? How do you get inspiration for them?

@w-o-holmes Autumn hasn’t quite started for me yet but that sounds lovely. I am pretty sure I have read some Whitman in one of my collections. What of his poems would you suggest?

@ncstokes Oh my goodness, really? *blushes* O.o

I try. XD

But wait… you write song lyrics?? How have I not known this! And yes I think this question applies to songwriting.

@kari-karast Hey, friend, it’s been too long!! What’s been happening? How are you? 🤗

Thanks for the suggestion.

*hands you pizza*

And here’s a hedgehug! 😉

@ericawordsmith

It’s been too long since I’ve talked to you too! How are you? Your in college?!! What are you studying?😍

I would love to hear your thoughts on this!

*hands you pizza just…[Read more]

There are a lot of good thoughts here already, so I suppose I’m mostly going to be piggybacking off what other people have said! 🙂 Like @ncstokes alluded to, I don’t see a lot of representation of characters with mental illnesses or disorders in the Christian fiction I’ve read. The closest I’ve seen people generally get is by portraying…[Read more]

For resources on writing characters with a mental illness, Blame it on the Brain and Counseling the Hard Cases are both about understanding and treating mental illness with a Christian mindset. It’s was interesting to see issues that I thought were purely medical that could be treated through counseling. (Although to be clear, both books encourage…[Read more]
