Sarah Inkdragon replied to the topic A Difficult Ethical Question in the forum Fantasy Writers 5 months, 3 weeks ago
I think a good clarifying point to come to would be that she must realize that absolutely nothing she can do will atone for her sins. There is no work, no toil, no sacrifice that can make up for our sins. Our only option is grace and salvation through Christ, and that is that.
Many people will try to “make up” for their sins once they accept…[Read more]

Sarah Inkdragon replied to the topic Too cliche? in the forum Characters 5 months, 3 weeks ago
Both are rather broad questions that can be taken a number of ways, either cliche or not. On one hand, it really depends on the kind of story you want to tell and the theme. Losing faith towards the end is a rather desolate outlook on a novel, but it could be a good way to showcase the effects of living without Christ, and the human sin nature and…[Read more]

Sarah Inkdragon replied to the topic So, there is no synonym for grunt… in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 months ago
I tend to use humming or just “Eh,” when it comes to stuff like this most of the time. Occasionally I’ll us “Mm.” Or something similar. I really, really dislike it when people try to spell out those odd noises in books past that, as it’s just… funny. And weird. And it just kind of ruins the seriousness of a scene when your non-verbal character…[Read more]

For anyone interested: I found this article to have an interesting take on what that scene means. https://dougwils.com/books-and-culture/books/the-salvation-of-emeth.html
I haven’t thought about it enough to see if I agree or not, but I do think it’s an interesting take on it.

Sarah Inkdragon replied to the topic What do unemotional character's feel? in the forum Characters 10 months ago
*feels qualified as INTJ vibe intensifies*
Well…
For starters, body language. By outwardly emotional, I’m assuming a lot of that refers to voicing emotions and things like crying/etc? Those are pretty big signals of emotion, but there are more subtle ways to show emotion through basic body language. Characters who don’t voice their emotions…[Read more]

I’ll definitely check Dekker out. And yes, read Peretti! He’s absolutely amazing at developing tension and inserting Christian elements into genres that don’t seem very “Christian”. I read and loved his “Cooper Kids Adventure Series” as a young teen, and I’ll still re-read some of the strong ones like The Door In the Dragon’s Throat, beca…[Read more]

Haha, it truly is.
That said, I like that as the human race comes to a pandemic, the first thing that runs out is common sense and TP. XD It’s highly amusing.

…My life hasn’t really changed, to be honest. School is out for two weeks(but we’re still doing homework and turning it in once a week), but other than that I’ve done essentially nothing different. To be honest, I’m not particularly worried at all about the whole COVID-19 thing so I’m just sitting back and watching the world sort of, kind of…[Read more]

Haha, yeah. Amish fiction is occasionally good and mostly bad, in my experiences. Having a romance with ‘normal’ people is all fine and great, but I don’t want morally and ethically perfect characters. (Not that Amish people are… but that’s the general portrayal. The farthest it seems to go against the grain is giving the MC a “…[Read more]

For me, it’s reverting. XD I started public school my Junior year. 😉

Sarah Inkdragon replied to the topic Let's talk about representation! in the forum Characters 10 months ago
Diversity is one of those things I have a love-hate relationship with. On one hand – yes, it’s real and needs to be actually realistically portrayed in books/media. On the other hand, it’s so over-pushed in secular fiction in an unrealistic and ungodly manner that I sort of hate trying to deal with it. I’m getting really tired of the “offhand…[Read more]

Sarah Inkdragon replied to the topic Whats the title of your book and explain it in 3 sentances @Everyone in the forum Sci-fi Writers 10 months ago
Hmm, well I can start off – be aware that this WIP is a very, very rough WIP and it’s just something I want to write someday, not something I’m working on right now or have plans to really work on soon.
Working Title: Sidereal
Description: Kaze is a “shift”, a being who can teleport within seconds from one location to another in the vast un…[Read more]

I think my response got eaten by the spam folder(This is what happens when I take the time to write out a nice response with sources. :’D). @daeus-lamb Mind coming to my rescue?

This is a pretty good short tutorial on the very basics of blending with block watercolors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kznN5UZmlng
I prefer the tubes to be honest and I usually use them, but I do have a nice block travel set I use for when I’m out and about. What really matters when blending watercolours is the pigement-to-water…[Read more]

Sarah Inkdragon replied to the topic I Keep Wanting to Blend Watercolors in the forum Art Discussions 10 months, 2 weeks ago
So, first question – do you use the watercolor blocks or liquid? Liquid watercolor can often be easily blended in that manner, while the blocks are a little harder.
