I love both of them so very much.
Ye...Ugh, I know. I love both of them so very much.<br /><br />Yeah, totally makes sense. The fact of the matter is that as writers, we are forced to portray darkness--why? so that light may shine all the brighter. Jesus came into a broken world and the way He brought redemption was through terrible, terrible pain (and the best happy ending ever, too). I'm not against happy endings myself (in fact, I really, really like them. I don't like the new trend of leaving things in the sludge). But happy endings must be hard earned. They cost something. It takes growth and growth hurts. It takes, sometimes, death (or, always, death of different things, whether that's old character traits or old lives or whatever). It's just like our lives. It takes a lot of struggle. But ultimately, it's worth it. I fervently believe in happy endings not because I have had one (because my story's not ended yet) but because I know that there is one, because God has promised that. <br /><br />That was a long rant, sorry. I get so passionate about like everything. XD <br /><br />AND YEAH. OBEDIENT CHARACTERS. DO THEY EVEN EXIST??? I'm beginning to wonder if anyone has them. Though sometimes you read a book and a character does something SO out of character and you're just like whaaa???? y u do that, author???? Nah, I'll be writing and have the perfect thing planned out, like oh this character and this character are perfect for each other! And then all of the sudden this character falls for that character and I'm like whut. Okay. Roll with it.

Lewis is the master I turn to in regards for life. *grins* They're both so quotable though!!<br /><br />Yes - I mean 'fairytales' such as...everyone lives happily ever after, everything's predictable, the good are completely good and the bad are completely bad, everything's black and white, and.... Those type of fairytales. Narnia is a fairytale, and that is a good one. It's....complicated? I guess I don't like the stories that say the dragon never exists and so defeating it is easy for everyone - if that makes sense? (I'M NOT GOOD AT EXPLAINING!!)<br /><br />I LOVE that quote too. and Chesterton's stories - he is another terrific auther I forgot....<br /><br />YAY!!!<br /><br />*smiles* I'm thrilled you did.

SO GOOD. *supplies you with all the good quotes* ;-)<br /><br />Oh but fairy tales are more than true--as Neil Gaiman says (another of my ABSOLUTE favorite quotes ever), "Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."(He's paraphrasing G.K. Chesterton) So there's that to add to the mix.<br /><br />And pfft, I don't care if you steal my ideas. That's the reason I post them--so that people will be inspired and stuff. Because that makes me happy. :-)<br /><br />Thanks for all the rambly comments! Loved 'em all.

Unless there are actually people who can write a decent novel (a publishable one) in a short amount of time. I think I'm just like I will never make money with writing so maybe I'm just pessimistic for everyone XDDD.<br /><br />Oooh, I like that piece of advice about acting. I'm not an actor, but that obviously factors into all forms of art, like you said. Ugh, so good. <br /><br />Thanks for the thoughts, Morning!

Yes, this is SUCH an i..."Why do I write?" Yes, this is SUCH an important question to ask ourselves-- I simply despise people who simply do it because they want some sort of monetary stipend thing, or something like, "Because this is the fastest way for me to get rich and famous." Like, no. NO. How dare they proclaim themselves to be artists if they're merely in just for things like fame and other stuff. UGHHHH.<br /><br />Anyways, moving on past that rant: truth is so important, in art, in general. One of the things that people have taught me during acting is the definition of acting itself: "Acting is living truthfully under imaginary circumstances," and it applies to all art forms: yes, we may not be flying on a dragon or stumble across a cake that can change into whatever flavor you end up craving at that time, but the characters have to be real, and be identifiable with ourselves, in their personality, their pursuits, and their journeys, both internally and externally.<br /><br />And it's pretty cool that when we blog, we're pretty much the characters. How's that for a story? xD<br /><br />xoxo MorningAbigail Lennahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00629691351291882685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772641994375191648.post-51880577282540478762016-08-26T21:06:15.867-07:002016-08-26T21:06:15.867-07:00Yayyyyy!

God has given me an incredibly passionate (and occasionally very outspoken) heart, and so a lot of times I find I disagree with lots of people, which is really very discouraging to me (another of my personality traits....they don't go along together well). So finding people who agree with me is hugely a blessing.
