Bethany

Good evening Bethania!

Organization…well, it really depends on the story for me.  There were some that I just had to slog through, one or two had an outline and some just were chasing an idea and an intriguing set of questions.
For the initial draft of a story it has to be just sitting down and writing and thinking about…[Read more]

Hi there! Thanks for letting me know! I did consider Rick Riordan Presents, but I think I’ll be going to for a Christian publisher if I’m going down the traditional route. There’s a publisher called Enclave Publishing who do Christian fantasy and sci fi. And I’m also looking at sef-publishing so we’ll see. Also, though my books is…[Read more]

Hi Bethania,

Do you have a copy of Thomas Bulfinch’s “Bulfinch’s Mythology”?

It offers a good coverage of many of the mythologies.  It includes some of the British and Celtic legends, as well as Hero Myth and the Legends of Charlemagne.

@sparrowhawke

Thanks for the tips, they are all things I hadn’t thought of doing before! 🙂 I will definitely be trying them.

Thank you! Paul’s sister is mentioned just once in Acts 23:16.

I’ve heard of motifs before, but I thought they referred more to general things that are in different stories but tend to represent the same thing, like a wise old man or a ghost appearing. Maybe I’m getting it confused with archetypes.

You know, you may actually be right XD ‘Motifs’ was just my rough translation XD
Oh, those are…[Read more]

@sparrowhawke Oh, dear! I edited the link. Let’s see if it works now.

@sparrowhawke

And yes, that eye tutorial helped! They looked really complicated but I’m not so intimidated now that you broke it down.

I’m so glad! Eyes are some of my favorite things to draw!

Do you have any favorite art resources (Youtubers, books, blogs, etc.) you can recommend?

Here are some of my favorites!

I’m just curious, has that board helped anyone?? I know I’ve only been adding names lately, but I did go through and add more…[Read more]

I actually just read Just Like That! I didn’t even know there was a third book in that series until very recently, and of course I had to read it. I really liked that one. My favorite is Okay for Now. 😊 I love Doug Swieteck’s kind of ornery character and voice.

So… just out of curiosity, do you write any contemporary fiction? (:

Oh yes! I had to wear a patch too, only over my good eye in an attempt to “wake” my bad one. Apparently my eyes just never did align as I was growing up and my brain decided to turn off my “inferior” eye to avoid dealing with it (honestly that sounds like a bad decision I would make XD). I was vaguely aware of it for a while but my good eye wor…[Read more]

According to Myers-Briggs, I’m an INTJ-INTP with the pretensions of being an INFP.

I share a commonality with the Apostle Paul in that verse:
