Scribbled Fiction

Photo by  Serkan Göktay  from  Pexels Quick note: this post is a bit of a brain dump, it's not as well thought out as some of my other posts, but I wanted to get it out of my head, so enjoy XD Here's the main thing: characters who have pain and face hardship are the characters we tend to cling to the most, the ones we like the most. So why is that? My opinion, and the short version of the answer, is this: we love them the most because the pain they feel is familiar. Pain is part of life, a big part of life, and it will continue to be until the return of Christ and a time where His people will go up to live in heaven. We all know some kind of pain, everyone has experienced something in their life that tried to break their spirit and block out their light. No one will make it out of this life unscathed. Those are the facts. So if the characters feel pain, we can identify with that. Even if what they're going through isn't something we've ever experienced, we can still...

Let's talk about some old WIPs of mine! Why? Who cares why! This list is in more or less chronological order of when I've written them, but it's actually roughly in order of how much I like them, or them as they are right now, unedited and possibly never seeing the light of day again. But still, whether or not they will see the light of day, I still wrote them and that gives them importance, so let's talk about them and give them a little love!  Trilagia How old I was: Roughly 11 through 12 Yeah, this was the first thing I ever wrote, and clearly, at the time I didn't know anything about a series or the fact that you had to know where it was going in order to write it, but these books are still dear to my heart even though I shall never read them again or I shall explode from cringe. Amarah was the first awesome short spunky girl character I ever wrote, and also the first lil gremlin we should not trust with matches. I also got to explore worldbuilding in this one e...

  Hey hey hey, I'm back!! I disappeared, mostly by accident, and before we go back to our sort of regularly scheduled programming, here's my brief explanation for why I've been gone:  Basically, I was getting overwhelmed. You could also say I was overwhelming myself, since the whole writing thing is self-employed(self-inflicted, if you will XD), and I was just getting so drowned by life and trying to build my platform and editing and trying so hard to stay afloat. It was a little crazy. Therefore I had to make a few cuts and take a few breaks to make my brain a good and habitable place again. To sum up those cuts: I'm almost entirely cutting out Twitter. Twitter is just not a very happy place for me anymore, being on there at all was starting to feel like a constant risk, so I'm not going to be there very much anymore. If you loved the funny tweets I put on there, have no fear! I'm trying to channel that energy a different way now, so you should watch this video...
