Hey Parimis!
So, as some of you may remember, many moons ago I was working on a long fantasy series called The Alpha Saga, but set it aside towards the end of August for various reasons. I outlined those reasons here. I also mentioned that I was working on a new standalone novel, set some goals I had for completing it, and fully intended to te…[Read more]

Wow. That’s a lot of books to be reading/finishing in a week! 🙂 And thanks for the advice about character outlining, as well as the tip about the course you took. I have @josiah Theme Mastery course on my list to take once I have some more time/money ( @steward-of-the-pen recommended it, and, well, Josiah being our Editor in…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose started the topic Characters | Lesson 3 : The Motive in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 9 months ago
The motive of your character is important. The motive is what drives your character forward, and makes every scene feel strong and meaningful. The character’s motive is what brings about the theme, and what pushes the plot along. Your plot is driven by your character’s motive. Therefore, the character motive could be the most important f…[Read more]

@taylorclogston We’re using a custom setting- mechanically it’s regular FATE with Venture City power rules. The setting is post-post-apocalyptic superheroes, and after session zero it suddenly became superhero monster hunters (as in the games, not werewolves).

Thank you for your prompt response! I thoroughly enjoyed reading your thoughtful response and have tried to explain my thoughts below clearly.
Absolutely yes, I think there is a lot of resentment by women (in general) about the Biblical responsibility of wives to submit. As a woman, I’ve done my best to learn what I could about t…[Read more]

Well, I’ve never actually watched all of Evangelion(though I really, really need to… just haven’t had the time), so I didn’t get most of the references on that. But that would have been awesome… truth be told I haven’t read to many comics or manga because I literally just don’t have the time. Busy life XD
Ha, Gintama is…[Read more]

@taylorclogston So it turns out I haven’t accomplished much at all last week since I fell behind at work. Though I’ve started a FATE roleplaying game with some church friends- hopefully that will give some storytelling experience.

Haha, Koe no Katachi is possibly the only teen drama across any medium(other than maybe…. Your Lie in April and…Toradora? but that’s more a romance if anything) that I’ve actually enjoyed… It’s such an amazing film. I really need to read the manga… it’s like my dream to get all the volumes of Koe no Katachi in print…[Read more]

Sarah Inkdragon replied to the topic Any Anime/Manga Peeps Out There? in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 9 months ago
Haha, well….. Koe no Katachi/A Silent Voice has a lot of feels(and I 100% recommend this movie to any anime lover–it’s Kyoto Ani’s greatest achievement both in visual storytelling, animation, and writing in my opinion so far. plus, it’s one of my all time favorites), so does Zankyou no Terro(not kidding, I watched the…[Read more]

Brianna Storm Hilvety replied to the topic Christian Publishers/Agents in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 9 months ago
@bekah @evelyn @taylorclogston Christian Manuscript Submissions is a legitimate business, so it’s not a scam, but also probably not worthwhile except as a last resort if you haven’t been able to get an agent/publisher on your own. This post gives some helpful advice about manuscript submission ser…[Read more]

@evelyn Thanks! I did the mouse for a competition. Glad you like Erik, too. 😉
@ashira Yes, that’s a great one! X’D He’s actually a friend of mine (Joseph’s brother, actually).

@ariella-newheart Thank you! As for your questions:
Right off I’m curious about why Johnson’s mom is sick, why Johnson has to leave without his dad knowing, and why everything is so secretive in general. His mom just got some kind of disease I guess. I never considered it important to my plot, so I didn’t think it through that much,…[Read more]

I didn’t see anything I’d consider outright “grumpy” in your last response. 🙂 I do appreciate your stating/clarifying your feelings on this matter.
I find it interesting that as a female, I actually don’t have – would it be accurate if I call it despairing – feelings or issues with men being the spiritual leaders in the family…[Read more]

Thanks so much! I’ll hunt down my art someday and take photos of it….(Oh, the pain of not having a phone lol)and then @ you. 😉
Anyhow, you play D&D? I’ve never tried that. I’ve never been super into board games except for things like monopoly or chess, though. XD
I really like the perspective of the can, it really pops…[Read more]

Daeus Lamb replied to the topic An argument — Christian stories don't just happen in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 9 months ago
@taylorclogston Well, I do think the Bible tells us why to live in addition to how to live, but I am fine with open-ended questions. For instance, I’m considering someday writing a Christ-era biblical novel or maybe a musical which asks the question “who is Jesus?” without answering it. Of course, I think the events of the gospels naturally…[Read more]

@taylorclogston
Hi! I just wanted to pop in and let you know that I’m still thinking over the last two posts you responded to me! 🙂 It’ll take a bit of time for me to get my thoughts together properly… hopefully before the end of today I can reply to at least one. Just letting you know that I’m not ignoring what you’ve said.~PursueWisdom
