@northerner Yeah, I was thinking about reorganizing it some anyway, so send me any thoughts you have!

Jane Maree replied to the topic An argument — Christian stories don't just happen in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 5 months ago
@northerner Ah, yep, I agree with that take on it. My thoughts were based around a Christian writer who has been gifted with a skill for words and a passion for stories as well as their King. 😉

@northerner Aw man, I’m really sorry. That’s a total bummer. If it doesn’t work out I’m sure it’s because God has something even better in store for you. I’ll keep praying. 🙂

@northerner, I don’t know if you’ll see this soon, but I have a question regarding the Arthurian romances – I remember a story of a knight striving to please a lady who places incrementally impossible demands on him, and eventually he impresses her so much with his relentless tenacity that her heart softens and she actually grows to become a…[Read more]

*dances* The Kitchen Knight! Gareth, Lynet, and Lynesse are the three main ones (I have a soft spot for Gareth, since elsewhere he’s sometimes described as being a bit bookish). The version illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman is good.
(Also have you read PENDRAGON’S HEIR, by Suzannah Rowntree? Because you must. Only if you’re interested in a…[Read more]

That’s the one! I have only John Steinbeck’s version of the Arthurian tales, and the only thing I could find close to my memory was the far less inspiring tale of Pelleas, Gawain and Ettarde.
My purpose for this question was that I have been writing a short story for a writing course, and I took it upon myself to try and write a story styled after…[Read more]

@northerner *screenshots your recommendations* THANK YOU! I will probably make some purchases based off this list, sometime in the near future. 😀

@Kate Finished the Napoleon of Notting Hill yet?
One of my favorites is The Ball and the Cross though.
And I ought to go read The Honour of Israel Gow again, @northerner. If it had creationism in it, then I probably loved it. It’s just been while since I read any Father Brown.

@northerner @hope-ann got me into Chesterton, and though I’ve yet to read all of his work what I have read I absolutely love.

Kate Lamb replied to the topic Writing for money alone? in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 8 months ago
@karthmin @northerner The Ball and Cross is one of my favorite classics everrrrr.

Martin Detwiler replied to the topic Writing for money alone? in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 8 months ago
I agree. Many people have copied the incidentals of fantasy from Tolkien, but few indeed have gleaned from his themes and the heart of it all. Which is unfortunate.
I know virtually nothing about Chesterton except for the fact that I ought to know far more. XD This also is unfortunate.

Hello all Parimis!
Apparently I got confused at some point and your guildmaster…has not returned yet (she’ll probably be back tomorrow), so I thought I’d whip up a quick lesson for this week in her stead. (Actually, I’m cheating and I’m reusing a lesson I’ve used in my own guild–Meraki–because it also fits with your theme of pacing and…[Read more]

Hello hello Parimis!
This is your stand-in guildmaster, and I’m here to call you to arms! War has been declared once again, and we must come out with full force.
Because J.A. Penrose is away for the week, I was already half guildmastering you for this war, but since she was gone, I volunteered her (I’m her cousin, so I’m allowed to do things…[Read more]

Buddy J. replied to the topic Writing for money alone? in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 9 months ago
Does that classmate realize the immense work of Tolkien’s world and that very few, if any, writers have captured the depth of world building, history development, and character weaving that he has? Besides that fact that he practically created two new languages just for that massive world. Also, lets forget that the most popular…[Read more]

@northerner Thank you for explaining. And that excerpt was excellent. I love how both he and Lewis were able to write both academically and yet artistically at the same time.
From the above, then, it seems to me that C. S. Lewis had a similar approach to critical analysis. His short book “The Personal Heresy” goes into that in quite a lot of…[Read more]
