Not at all. I just think that in a general sense, a lot of mental illnesses are caused by self-obsession. It’s a very generalized thing on a subjective problem, so of course it can’t apply to everything. I know people that trust God more than I can possibly imagine and still struggle with depression and other things, but still…[Read more]

@eden-anderson

Haha, I wrote this late at night so I totally spaced out exterior causes for some reason. *facepalm*

So yes, I agree with you that when a mental illness is caused by something exterior to the person themselves, I think it’s probably less of our human nature popping in and more of our fight or flight instincts kicking in(Or….…[Read more]

@eden-anderson @evelyn

Finally coming back to answer. XD

Before I dig deep into what I mean, let me ask you a question.

When a person, especially a non-Christian person, has a mental illness, who do they think about the most?

I’ll let you think about that for a moment and move onto analyzing. So. When I say I believe that mental illnesses, in…[Read more]

@katy-walker

My brother broke his collar bone, so did my sister. It’s very painful, but it’s not too bad as long as you take car of it. My brother was sent home with a sling and some pain meds from the ER, and that’s all. He couldn’t do anything strenuous for a long time with it, but it wasn’t life threatening. I’m no expert on it however, I’d…[Read more]

@lrc

That was a bit confusing, let me clarify.

I like complex stories. I like stories that have a lot of complex, detailed, and hard to solve problems. Typically, “clean” Christian fiction doesn’t have that, which is what I meant by it not being as whitewashed but still more in the general “clean” genre that is defined by Christian fiction…[Read more]

Like Princess-Foo said, there’s many different definitions of cleanliness. Would you classify Lord of the Rings as perfectly clean? Sure, there’s no sex scenes, swearing, or super excessive violence, but it still tackles very dark themes at times and it also has characters like Gollum or Orcs that can be quite scary or even demonic at times. But…[Read more]

@eden-anderson

I’m going to speak from a very personal perspective on this, so please take everything I say with a grain of salt and try to filter out my own bias before taking my word as a correct assumption. This is merely my opinion, and it’s highly opinionated. So just be aware of that.

I don’t think we handle it well. Not at all.

Why? For…[Read more]

Ooh, this’ll be fun. Okay, buckle up because I have a lot of characters. *grin*

Characters from Firemaster:

Kirin:

#1 “Anger was better than tears, better than pain, better than guilt.”

#2 “My purpose is greater than my pain.”

#3 “If there’s no one left to stand, there’s no one left to believe in, and that’s when people give up hope that there…

@tashah-claymore

Why thank you. *bows*

Hmm, my favorite part of fantasy is probably the capabilities of using morality in it. To put it simply–fantasy is unique. You can use that to make so many more moral and ethical situations and questions arise that you can normally(in my opinion XD), and that’s something I love. I’m all about the…[Read more]

@tashah-claymore

Hello, fellow introvert, and welcome to SE! Tis a wonderful place for all writers, poets, and artists alike.

I’m Sarah-Inkdragon, but you may call my anything from Sarah to Inkie to Sink to Sync if you’d like, and I’m an INTJ who’s also a senior in high school and is yet to finish a single book(mostly because I have too many…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist

Oh, I was wondering, when did they announce that? I can’t find it anywhere. 😐

@michael_stanton and @caserola

Welcome to Erekdale!

@the-fledgling-artist

So.

I have come to finally answer your question. XD

Okay, so first, since I like my definitions, let’s look at exactly what a passive character is. According to our wonderful friend the internet, a passive character is a person that doesn’t act externally, but instead has all conflict internally. They don’t contribute much…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Hmm, well….

Haydn: Also known as Shadow Von Wolfsbane, Haydn is the wolf-captain of Nagaria, and the main antagonist for the first novel in this trilogy. He’s the son of a legendary general Erabrus Von Wolfsbane, and brother of the huntress/assassin Ivanna. Growing up as the elder brother, Haydn was expected to take the crown one…[Read more]

Hmm, OC’s….. well, since we’re doing lists, here’s some to pick from:

Kirin

Jax

Vyrn

Haydn

Lyr

Ryul

Oreki

Kija

Have fun picking, because I can’t XD.

@scarletimmortalized

One thing I’d definitely stay away from is attempting to “justify” his amoral personality in any way. It’s not just that he’s done bad things–we all have. But amorality in it’s very, most base essence, is simply avoiding consequence of any sin because if it doesn’t matter to you, it can’t effect you. It’s attempting to…[Read more]

@karthmin

*squints at you and Faith*

Have you been stalking me? Because that sounds awfully similar to my life. XD

To be honest though, while I can spend pretty much all day analyzing things or world-building or creating characters or researching…. actually writing is hard. Really, really hard. For one, I haven’t found a “voice” that I prefer…[Read more]

@toklaham-veruzia

To be honest, it very much depends on what books it’s being compared too. For example, ‘Divergent meets Twilight” would probably be a huge turn off for me because neither of those two books were something that every intrigued me or that I enjoyed.

I write fantasy, and I’ve found that usually it’s pretty hard to find a good…[Read more]
