The wheels in my brain have turning. I DO NOT need another story idea, but it's sort of forming anyway lol. Not sure if mine would turn out actually being Christian Fantasy or not, but the idea is great. I would prob lean into the political aspect a bit. Lots of intrigue there. Focus on the whole Saul and David conflict. With a Jonathan character and a Micheal character of course. :)

Yeah I think that would be my focus as well. I don’t have time to figure it out tho 😂

I want to write it now lol. But I don't have time either, what with the other book I'm writing. You should give it a shot tho.

I should. I just need help with the fantasy elements

Thanks. Maybe I should give it a shot. At some point lol. I'm currently feeling so tempted to start just about anything that isn't my current WIP lol. I'm trying to stick to my resolution, although I have been known to write two books at once before. Sometimes, I need to. But idk if now is one of those times.

I could help, maybe. Are you planning on having a magic system? Are you going for allegorical or not?

Those things can really affect the plot.

My personal rule is no magic, unless it's necessary to the plot. But that's just me.

Nope don’t want magic. And wdym allegorical? Wouldn’t it be allegorical if it’s the story of David?

Well, yeah, I guess it would be, but I was referring to, are you going to have a God character? (See, I was thinking, if I did it, it might end up not quite so allegorical as you might expect. But then again, I haven't written Christian fantasy in about a year or so.)

So, no magic, that's one less thing to worry about. ;)

What about worldbuilding? Do you have any plans? Are you going to base it off of the actual area it took place in history, or something different?

No idea. I seriously don’t have time to try and write a book right now 😂😂

That's fine.

I would hope it is. lol. This is my first day on a new job so I’m now working 5 days a week instead of just 3.

Yeah, lol. But if you ever want to do it, I could help if you want. Maybe lol.

Yeah if I decide to try I’ll get you for help. lol

Hey guys! Does anyone know of any book clubs or groups (preferably christian) for classic books on this app or another?

I don't sorry. I'll do some looking quick!

So I did some looking and wasn't able to find any. I was a part of one at one point but I don't remember what it was called.

Moriah, I remember seeing some classic book groups a few months back, but I don't remember their names or if they were christian, sorry.

*Gives you my Scarlett O'Hara look* Hmm... I'm not sure how well your plan will work out, Étienne...

It won’t work out, Ste�� oops, Étienne. If you find historical classics�� 😜 and classics are welcome here! Technically most classics probably fit in the historical genre anyways 🤪

Mhm

That's truuue.

🤣🤣🤣

I didn't think about that, thanks Étienne :)

I don't think hijacking this book group is necessary. After all, aren't the classics fine specimens of literary history? Maybe we could start a thread for discussing the classics.

I agree! Maybe we should, I think that'd be a good idea!

I would love that!

I agree with that, B&C, and Jazz!!

Y'all need to watch this video about the assassination attempt on former President Trump! Mr Ham brings out some very good points. Make sure to watch it till the end because Mr. Ham also talks about what the only solution to stop this violence is.



^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Make sure you watch this!

Oh yes, I've heard some of his points from Tim Keller before- they're really great.

I have to say I can't totally agree with his praise of Mike Johnson, though. I don't quite remember what I didn't like about him, but I think he did or said something... I'm not super involved with politics, though, so I have no idea. Only God knows where his heart is *shrugs

Thanks for sharing!

Praise God for the peace He's given you, Elisabeth! Loved reading your message today 💕

❤️ thanks!

Glad to hear that ❤️

hai sawry i keep forgetting ab goodreads OOPS how is everypony

Hi! I’m doing good!

(I hope y'all don't mind my putting this here.)

Outside the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan on August 26, 2021 �� exactly three years ago today �� a VBIED suicide bombing just outside the Abbey Gate killed 13 US service members and 170 Afghans hoping to be allowed inside the airport.
Some of you may remember hearing about this tragic event.

May we never forget those US service members who perished:

Marine Corps Lance Corporal David Espinoza
Marine Corps Sergeant Nicole Gee
Marine Corps Staff Sergeant Darin Taylor Hoover
Army Staff Sergeant Ryan Knauss
Marine Corps Corporal Hunter Lopez
Marine Corps Lance Corporal Rylee McCollum
Marine Corps Lance Corporal Dylan R. Merola
Marine Corps Lance Corporal Kareem Nikoui
Marine Corps Corporal Daegan William-Tyeler Page
Marine Corps Sergeant Johanny Rosario Pichardo
Marine Corps Corporal Humberto Sanchez
Marine Corps Lance Corporal Jared Schmidz
Navy Hospital Corpsman Max Soviak

This is a recent event �� but it's history all the same. I'm sure all of us remember this tragic day. I still remember how the reality of it hit me when I saw all of these service members' pictures in the newspaper. That's when it became more personal to me. They weren't just names on a list but real people like you and me who had a life they wanted to live. TBH, I had forgotten about the day this took place. But I was reading Saving Aziz yesterday and this event started to be talked about in the book. And I was like, "That happened three years ago tomorrow!"

So I hope we just take some time to remember and honor the sacrifice that these service members made.

Wow, that's sad! I actually don't remember ever hearing about that, surprisingly.

I never heard about that. Thanks for sharing.

Oh! I guess less people know about this than I expected.
You should really read Saving Aziz; this book will be a very good way to learn more about the Afghanistan withdrawal.
The lack of planning that the Biden administration displayed is quite shocking and embarrassing. So many lives could have been saved had better planning been done .

I’ll check it out.

Jazz, you Isabelle and Emma aren’t buddy reading that book are you? 😂 I love how all y’all’s profiles are almost the same. lol

Haha we might be�� 🤔🤣

😂😂 have fun! Buddy reading is the best

Thanks, Bets!

Yes, buddy reading is!

Thanks, Bets!

No prob!

Y’all all look identical now�� this may be a problem 😂😂😂

lol

Haha I was thinking the same thing! 🤪

😂😅🤪
