@rose-colored-fancy

Hi, Rose!

Your WIP sounds very cool! What are some of your favorite fantasy books?

My favorite part of my WIP is that I’m writing in third person omniscient for the first time, and I’m very much enjoying developing an “author voice”. 🙂

Thank you for the forum information!

  I am a big fan of R.C. Sproul. Loved hearing him speak and teach! I went through his book “Essential Truths of The Christian Faith” as a morning devotional every day before work. Loved it! I love Christian Apologetics! Francis Shaeffer is another good one. I have many of these types of books in my personal library that I have collected over…[Read more]

@obrian-of-the-surface-world,

I checked out your blog – it’s pretty swag! Count on me hangin’ around. If you’re interested, here’s a link to mine. 🙂 I just started so it isn’t especially good or complete.

I think more young people need to talk with grandparents that have had a marriage lasting decades to learn what truly makes it work.

Ooh, good…[Read more]

  Absolutely, you are more than welcome to “hang around”! The more the merrier! I just subscribed to your blog too! I haven’t gotten around to putting a newsletter together yet, so that will most likely come later, as soon as I get These Books published. I do have the first two scenes of my prologue to these novels in a Topic challenge I started…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy,

Sry to intrude in your conversation, but OH MY WORD THIS ONE THING REALLY CAUGHT MY EYE:

Anyway, one of the things that really kills it for me is if they just completely skip the friendship stage. It just kinda feels unrealistic to me XD I’m not saying it can’t be done well, but I like seeing them slowly start to respect and…

Thank you for bearing your precious, tender heart. You never stand alone. God never loses track of you, and He knew you before you even knew yourself. You were planned by Him. God knew where you would be and when you would be, and He has planted you as a precious seed in His Garden and in His family.

Thank you Bri…[Read more]

The synopsis of your WIP intrigues Brian, let me know when you finish it. Thanks for the recommendations as well. How long have you been writing? You appear to be rather competent in this arena. 🙂

Thanks for the welcome Brian!

I have not heard of Steve Berry, but I just looked him up and his books seem right down my alley. I will definitely be trying to get my hands on some of his books.

I have seen the second of the two films starring Downy as Sherlock. It was a decent movie (helped greatly by the fact that…[Read more]

@obrian-of-the-surface-world

Thank you for your feedback! I’ll get back with a longer reply sometime, but thank you so much for your detailed critique.

I must admit hearing somebody else read my work was a bit strange, but you did a great job. Your voices were great.

@this-is-not-an-alien

Thank you so much!

Amen @obrian-of-the-surface-world!
God made us different the way I use different colors in a painting to accent and compliment each other. We were made to strength each other and bring out each others talents and gifts, we’re different so we can appreciate God’s graces with the contrast of appearance and personality. But one thing’s always the s…[Read more]

Wow, thank you so much! Yes, I have heard that phrase–first learned it in Latin class as “Fortes fortuna juvat.”

I would love to hear your dramatization. This is just a piece I wrote several months ago and I have not written any more of it (I have this and one paragraph of notes XD). I feared it might be confusing,…[Read more]
sparrowhawke replied to the topic Audio Cinema in the forum Fantasy Writers 4 years, 10 months ago

I am more overt in my faith and deliberately bring that out even moreso later, for I do not feel that I am writing for a secular audience. I feel called to write Fantasy for Christians, so there is more of an arc into the Lordship Walk towards maturity, than an appeal to share the basic gospel. The need is great to encourage Christians to move…

Rose replied to the topic Audio Cinema in the forum Fantasy Writers 4 years, 10 months ago

@obrian-of-the-surface-world

Cool idea!

I probably won’t be joining anytime soon, though. I do read my chapters out loud (usually to my brother since I enjoy seeing his reactions), and it does help!

Anway, lack of time, long chapters, and my foreign accent combine to make this less than ideal.

Thanks for tagging me, though!

  I would absolutely love to hear your precious accent! I absolutely love the flavor God has given each of us in language. Yours is an instrument that needs to be added to the symphony. Don’t fear to use it. I would love to react as well along with your brother. As we are all members of Christ’s body, you are my sister and I want to hear my…[Read more]

Thank you! <3 It’s the first picture I’ve ‘finished’ on my fairly new drawing studio. The tones for the skin were actually…something I spent months on banging my head and writhing in despair lol. But the different colors blending to get that sorta-sheen is actually an overlay layer feature which I applied to the lips and eyes as well. I spent y…[Read more]
