Meets & Greets Hello all :)

[AC Maci]

Hello!
I'm new to the group, and I wanted to say hi! I'm still learning the website, so I'm sorry if I'm making a duplicate Intro threat/post thing.

Anyway, my name is Andii. I used to write for a while, but I would always jump straight to editing without finishing my draft. It got discouraging honestly, so I quit. I also don't think it honored God, so that's another reason why I stopped. I used to write fantasy romance.

Lately, I've felt called to write Christian works - something that does honor God. I'm currently working on a Christian romance about a girl learning to trust God again. I'm having so much fun with it, and I'm forcing myself to get everything out and THEN go back and edit. lol

I am on Scribophile, but I wanted to find a more Christian-tailored community where I can meet like-minded folk. I would love to eventually share my work, but my main goal now is just to fellowship and grow.

I look forward t reading your work. Thanks for having me!
-Andii

LOL I'm pretty sure you meant thread, not threat!

Hi and welcome! You've come to the write place.
Always important to honor God in everything we do.

I heard that supposedly when you flip your pencil over to erase, it disrupts the creativity in your brain. Not sure how accurate that is, but trying to edit before you have anything to edit can be discouraging and make progress take way longer.

HAHA I'm sorry. I absolutely meant thread. Not threat. I'm multitasking between work and playing on my computer, and I wasn't paying attention.

Lol thanks for the welcome and the heads up. I really appreciate that.

Oh I have never heard that before, but that makes so much sense! Either way, I like to believe God has me where He wants me to be.
Thanks for my new favorite saying though!

Well, ya know, Lynae... While I'll often wish that Life came with an eraser, I suppose your comment applies to a lot of things...

I seem to make my best progress with my eyes aimed steadily forward. No more wishin' for that eraser...

Oh... and welcome, AC!!

Welcome to our family of Christian Writers, AC! Christian romance, huh? I just thought about how I would go about trying to write that genre in a way that would honor GOD. I would start in the Old Testament and look at how the couples in the Bible communicated their love for one another with more than just words. Was there anywhere in the text where the Bible says that "She loved him," or "He loved her," or was it just something that the reader "understood" from context?

Whenever I try to read passages in the Song of Songs, I find myself blushing and not really being able to finish it. Solomon has been credited with writing it, but it has always been a mystery as to which one of the women in his life inspired it. King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines, so....take your pick!

AC, trust me, I am not trying to tell you how to go about it. Here, at CW, we respect each other's unique way of writing in whatever genre. No one can tell your stories better than you. Agreed?

Again, welcome!

Hi and welcome, @AC Maci. I have a strong impulse for editing, too, it can be difficult to quiet sometimes. I poked around Scribophile once, but never actually did anything there. Prayers for all the best for you and your work.

I get what you mean about Song of Songs. I read it only when going through the whole Bible. Honestly, it's really cringe to me. Seven hundred wives is way too much.

In skating our 'eraser' is to go get a drink of water. Sometimes that helps reset if you're stuck on something. At least, that's the superstition.

Yeah, somehow taking marriage advice from someone with 1,000 women... that sounds like the saying about don't ask a fat person how to lose weight. I've heard some try to say that she was "the one" and the others were just because of politics, but...
