Thank you!

I suck at dialogue too ngl 😂

I just saw this chat, this is just what I need!

Awesome man, we'd be happy to help

Hell yea bro!

Oh nice it's here

I would like to write something, its just I have so many ideas but cant really connect them

I don’t have any original ideas. It’s rough.

Oh boy this server will be interesting

I want to write about importance of Truth, Tradition, God, and Real Men.

Sounds promising.

I love the Time period 1770s-1880s, kinda general ikr, but there are certain aspects of those times that I like and relate to, so I would like to make a "setting" of that period, but write about 2000s+

I want to use real events, legends, myths, and hypotheticals, so... yea.

as a Christian, I am told to wait and pray, but with all the **** that is going on, it just makes me squirm, and I need to find a way to channel my thoughts

and as I said, I have plenty of ideas, and always finding inspiration, but they are only bits of chain, they need to be linked together

I can relate with that

I can relate with this as well

I always want to create something beautiful and God-honoring but I'm unable to make the beauty fit inside of a story

and before I forget, was this chat made today? I haven't seen it before

yep!

awiesome!

and yeah, I get the historical fascination! I'm actually trying to figure out a story about a young Christian lumberman and a young motherless daughter he meets up in Northern Wisconsin during the logging boom

cool!

The story ends in tragedy - it's a bit of a rehash of Daniel and the Lion's den in a way except with a tragic result

but I basically only have the ending and one of the mid-way scenes down

you have a guy who's not like everyone else and unashamedly so hanging out with a girl who's in her early teens. It's platonic, but rumors spread fast. He's drowned in a river during the climax by some guys who get drunk and decide they've had enough of him

the problem is that I don't know what message I'm sending with this story

I hate when dark events are purely for entertainment and I don't want to go that dark without a good reason

especially since I'm someone who has had a very cushy life and has never been subjected to typical tragedy

YAY! New channel! <:troll_face:726878856585281557>

yup!

SAME

the other thing that's super hard for Christian writers is making sure your story actually honors God

I would like to make a story that starts like a disney princess cliche, but its a "woman" who doesn't want to be a princess, and through her journey, she finds who she truly is, and grows in her faith in God, opposing a tiranical country

but I don't know if it will come to anything

which seems super weird to most people but I can safely say, the last eight years of "writing" (roleplays, plot ideas, and the occasional R-rated fanfic) have not been God-honoring at all and usually are overly dark, packed full with controversy for the sake of it, and written with little experience of the real world

I was a shock value writer and I regret it

wasn't necessarily explicit as my peers who *definitely* didn't understand it but still was searching for intense reactions about things I didn't understand or research

that's actually pretty lit

I'd watch it

I see what you mean, and im glad I didn't go down that rode
