@selah-chelyah No I haven’t… *whispers* Is it historically accurate? 😛

@selah-chelyah Oh, I didn’t forget you were Ariel’s sister.  I was feeling sorry that we’d both had the same story idea. 😉

Well, in that case could you have Ariel send me your email address? (She has mine.)  And I’ll invite you onto a google document with the opening to the story.

@selah-chelyah I liked Mimosa a lot.  I think I may have read another of Amy Carmichael’s books, but I’m not sure.  It’s been a while since I read Mimosa.

Who, the Red Baron?  I was kind of kidding.  @seekJustice and I have talked about him before, and I knew she liked him a lot.  But, I was really, really into WWI a while ago, and read a lot of A…[Read more]

@eden-anderson 🙂 Okay, in that case, here goes! 😉

The first thing to note when you’re in the process of planning a story based on the American Civil War, is that there are still people who believe adamantly both sides of the question, and there are a lot of people in the middle as well.  When you write about WWII, the Nazis are the bad guys, a…[Read more]

@ashira Hey, I never said Ancient Egypt wasn’t intriguing! 😛  I think all history has the potential to be intriguing if you dig deep enough.  And Ancient Egypt certainly does not lack for interesting customs and events.  All I said was whenever I happen to read/think about it I get depressed, particularly when it’s times where the Children of Is…[Read more]

@eden-anderson May I comment on your Civil War story premise?  Specifically with regards to your comments about historical accuracy and realistic or cliched plot lines.

@daeus-lamb I think, following up on what R. M. Archer said, that we shouldn’t be jealous of other authors for ourselves, or even for Christian writers as a whole.  But I think it is possible to have righteous jealousy for God, if our desire is solely focused on wishing Him the greatest glory over all others.  In that case, we might possibly be r…[Read more]

@wordsmith Thanks. 😀

@ashira

Selah Chelyah has actually thought about writing a story about the daughter of the same person.  *tries not to make it obvious* So I told her you were already writing that.  I told her very little about yours, though.

Oh my, I’m so sorry Selah Chelyah!  (I guess that’s why you knew more about my WIP than I had said here?)  Your sister sai…[Read more]

@seekjustice Wow, I cannot keep up with this conversation!  Let’s see if I can give a quick answer to your questions and catch up. 🙂

My favorite time period is American history from 1890-1970.  There are a few other periods I like too, but those are the years I like best.

Some favorite historical figures: Jonathan, son of Saul; Stonewall J…[Read more]

@theinconceivable1 Oh, I want to clarify that I do think it’s possible to commit a sin even if you think it’s “for a good cause” or as the saying goes “your heart is in the right place.” Wrong things are still wrong, no matter what the intent is.

I’m just saying that the reason we should do right things shouldn’t be because we want to win points,…[Read more]

@eden-anderson @wordsmith Wow, thank you guys for saying I’m making sense.  I always wonder if I explain things correctly because I have a tendency to ramble.  So I’m really glad I’m articulating myself well on this topic. 😉

@theinconceivable1 I definitely agree that there’s a huge risk of us becoming pharisaical.  Our doing things should re…[Read more]

@sarah-inkdragon No historical fiction?  But that’s my favorite genre!! 😛

Yes, my WIP is a Biblical his-fic.  It’s set in NT times, and I’m coming at the subject from a different angle than most New Testament his-fics I’ve read.  I’m sorry I can’t give you more right now, but I’m not really announcing the premise to the general public yet. ;)…[Read more]

@theinconceivable1 I really like what @wordsmith said regarding the tassels, about how they have to do with the representation of priestly authority and that being fulfilled.

That being said, I’ll go back to my earlier statement about how we can use all the commandments of the OT in our search for how to love God and each other better.  I think…[Read more]

@sarah-inkdragon Hi Sarah!  I remember you.  I don’t think I know you very well, though, so I’m just going to ask…what do you like to write?  I’m assuming fantasy?  (That seems to be the favorite topic with most contemporary writers…and…there’s a dragon… 😉 )

@the-fledgling-artist You’re right, I doubt I’d have even considered posting here if you hadn’t been here already. 😉  Anyway, I think I’ll not post in this topic anymore (unless someone directly tags me) since it seems to be going back to its original intent, for guys only. 🙂  So farewell, and talk to you elsewhere!

@the-fledgling-artist It’s set in the New Testament – early Acts.  I’m having a lot of fun with it.  I’d love to tell you more about it on Writers’ Corner if you like.  SeekJustice and I are there now. 😉

@the-fledgling-artist  Thats great! 🙂

Well, I’ve taken a break on my western, which I think was what I was working on last time I talked to you, was it not?  I’m now working on a historical fiction novel set in Biblical times.

@ariel-ashira Hello friend! 😀

@millennium-m Cool.  I don’t write or read fantasy, but as you’ve noticed, I very much like sci-fi. 😉  What type of sci-fi do you write?

@the-fledgling-artist Oh yes, I remember now.  Well, hello again!  Are you having fun with the greater art focus here?

@selah-chelyah Haha, glad to know I have a good rep…[Read more]

I’ve been following this conversation for a while… 😉

May I jump in here and say a few words?

I agree with @the-fledgling-artist that Jesus fulfilled many of the Old Testament traditions.

A clarification I’d like to make is that God does not change, (He is the same yesterday, today, and forever), so it’s important to remember that the laws…[Read more]
