Thank you!! It was driving me batty...

Thank you. I tried doing it in a more Biblical language, but it felt very... opulent. Self-aggrandizing, even. So I tried to read some older stories I found online and mix the ways together. And a good friend does creative writing courses, that may have "helped" a little. :innocent: I hope to...

My entire view of the faith is getting a complete revision in this, thank you to all, let me know ANYTHING that might be of any interest in this question!

Looks like the perfect place, I never knew it even existed! Thank you! Writing thread

"I feel like I have the wrong body and the wrong memories. I feel like I am not your husband, even though I know I am." At the last sentence, a tear came to her eye. A different kind of worry seemed to take over, a concern for something other than diseases. "Did I do something wrong? Am I not a...

Sounds flooded back in. The darkness between brain cells disappeared, and the world became real again. "Come?" asked Conrad, the worry in his eyes suddenly replaced with confusion. "It just said come?" "Yes. At least, that was the part I understood." Across the plaza, opposite the hallways...

"Lucifer is not the Devil." The sky was a dark hue of purple. The first birds were starting to chirp. Not many of them, but that just made each voice stand out more clearly. "What?" A strange hum hung in the air. Not a sound, but a vibration. An energy. It felt personal, it felt very close, not...

I am going to try to post my first draft of a novel I am in the process of writing. Feel free to "interupt" with comments, questions, suggestions and such, as I will do my best to keep the entire story straight in this initial post! Also, I apologize for the poor formatting, the forums are still...

Okay, I have just over 5000 words written that I feel good with as a first draft (first draft of the first 5000 words, mind you, not the first draft of a complete story, much more needs to be written for that). I am thinking about posting them here, and later posting the rest as I find time to...

When I feel something good about it, I will probably upload it here for all to tell me. And the quote is very good, spot on, thank you!

I have been stealing hours here and there in my busy life to try my hand at writing, with great help from some far more creative friends, and it does sound a bit like what you desacribe, so maybe I am on the right track! In the end, I do not expect what I make to be anything significant, but...

Well, I'm certainly sold on it! Where can I watch it, Disney+? On the transported Biblical characters, I have been dabbling with a less direct approach, more of transporting their essence and the trials they face, into a modern world (futuristic, technically). Just something I am playing around...

This sounds like a really good approach. I am talking to a friend about trying to write something, anything, that could trigger people's ideas, something free online. I know there are writing projects out there that have created amazing worlds by simply sowing the seed in a few smaller stories...

You have no idea how greatly I sympathize. This post makes me feel heard.

So I watched both Polycarp and Ben-Hur last night, and while they are perfectly fine movies (budgets varying wildly, of course), they still do what I feel something like Noah did not, and it made it more interesting to watch: They (and I apologize the unintended pun) preach to the choir. They...

I looove the Noah movie, some of Crowe's best work, even if, or maybe because, it has a lot of reintepretation and artistic license. And I think those are important keystones to seeing Christianity as a source for stories. Most Christian stories in their more or less true form have been told and...

I was more thinking of modern movies in the science fiction and fantasy genre, based on biblical stories. "Inspired by" is maybe the best phrase. The movies I know that try actually seem to lean a bit too heavily on forcing through a message. I think a good movie can set the right thoughts in...

I always thought that "survival of the fittest" could perfectly well be read as "whoever God sees to be fit will survive".

I love the direct parallels between exorcism and "if you don't like the smell, get out of the kitchen!" Poor Asmo :D

I forget who it was, but I love that one of Darwin's peers at the time basically responded to reading Origin of Species with "this is so simple we must have been idiots not to see it long ago!". Like Newton and gravity, Darwin neither invented nor discovered anything, he just put it into words...
