/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

I write boring non-fiction. It's nothing anyone would want to read and not Christian-related.

>>541788

What exactly. My current project is on the oberammergau passion play. If you haven't heard of it its such an interesting topic.

I've been wanting to start a Protestant blog, but I'm too self-conscious about my writing style and I'm paranoid about leaving an electronic footprint that can be tracked. It would have to be a very well thought out, calculated process if I were to actually do it.

I would love to become one when I get my head clearer on my positions and learn enough about the monumental amount of knowledge needed to write this kind of stuff seriously.

>>541807

What are you going to write that you need that much security in your identity.

>>541781

Not going to post my work here, but I've participated in NaNoWriMo every year for 7 years now.

>>541812

I really struggle with this, because while I do feel called to an evangelical writing ministry, I never start anything because how could I possibly add anything to this conversation that has not already been said better before.

It’s like throwing a drop of water into the ocean and feeling like you made a difference.

>>541817

Gotta watch out for the little hater.

>>541814

I do have political beliefs that are socially unacceptable, but its more of an irrational fear that people will find out who I am, dig through my past, and harass me. That's why I post on an anonymous imageboard and worry too much about my history on the internet.

I think most people get doxxed because they assume no one could track them from small, seemingly inconsequential personal details. Just get a new email thats not connected to anything thats not your writing and go from there. That would protect you from 99% of things. The other 1% would be if a giant tech company decided to out you like google but youre already screwed if they decide to, even if you don't decide to write.

I wouldn't worry too much about that. If you want to write to the public, then do so under a pseudonym and make FB accounts, Twitter accounts, etc under that pseudonym. People do it all the time.

I'm currently working on two pieces of fiction, one being a fantasy story and the other being a more personal, realistic fiction story.

Both have Christian elements but I wouldn't place it in the Christian section if they were at a book store.

I really want to get into writing but it's daunting as fuck.

>>541951

good luck, man.

>>541970

It's just a practice.

When I started speaking, I had ZERO natural talent whatsoever. Couldn't effectively string together two sentences in front of a camera. Just write something. Look at it and try to figure out why it sucks. Then write again, every day, and try to do a little better each time. Eventually you'll nail it.

I studied to become a screenwriter, but probably I made a huge mistake…

>>542166

depends, you have a cushy job that requires little creative inspiration, it's just very spiritually dangerous

don't blaspheme against Christ, no matter what an exec tells you

>>542169

Ah ah, nah..I studied but I never been able to enter that world.

I work as a clerk in an hotel, I write and read in my free time…

>>542370

Then write Laments

I'm trying to consolidate all of the Gospels into one chronological gospel with the contents of all while preserving the unique motivations and attributes of each. I would like to be able to read one large gospel from start to finish with all of the miracles of John, parables of Luke, references of Matthew, and ministry events of Mark in a concise and consistent way, all in the proper language as translated in the NASB.

It wouldn't replace reading the originals, of course, but it would give me a clearer picture of the Gospels and give me a reference point with which I can assess all popular Christian media for accuracy.

Additionally, I'd like to, some day, write a series of epic poems detailing classic Bible stories in the style of Paradise Lost, including the perspective of Satan. If not epic poems, I think writing the Bible start to finish as a narrative from the perspective of the Devil would be a really good read. I wouldn't be redeeming him, of course, like Wicked did for The Wizard of Oz, but would instead be narrating his rise and ultimate defeat in his campaign for dominion.

Why would it be necessary for you to do that? Is it pivotal.

>>545893

Yes, one of the most important goals of this work would be to show how terrible humanity would be if there was no true God.

>>546261

also didn't mean to sage

>>546261

I would have to read it to give a definite answer but if you do it tactfully I don't see why not.

>>547044

Ok then. There's nothing to read yet, I haven't even started and am still thinking if I even should, but I basically have the whole thing planned out already and I've had this idea in my head for several years now and I have been developing it.

>>547090

How about giving us a general breakdown of where you want to take it.

Working on a short story and a few other projects. Not making a ton of progress tbh, I don't think I'm averaging 100 words a day. Been thinking about starting a diary, but I'm scared of what my parents will think if they find out I've got anxiety problems, I don't want to lay that burden on them.

>differing opinion from the norm on marriage

Interesting. As long as it's not heretical, I would like to hear it.

Seeking some help on a project I've been mulling over for a while now. A year or so ago a group published the "Tradinista Manifesto". If you haven't heard of them don't worry. They made only a small ripple in the online catholic community. They got their 5 minutes and they haven't done anything since. I personally believe they were one of the soros funded test balloons to gage the opinion of a "catholic" "socialist" group.

But thats neither here nor there. When they put this Manifesto out I printed it off and went to work crossing out everything I don't believe. There are bits that are orthodox but I believe all the orthodox bits are the parts where they would be willing to compromise on and all the marxist bunk would be everything that couldn't be touched. Ive been wanting to put out my own manifesto of sorts but for the orthodox in todays age. Like the “benedict option” thats more then run and hide.

I’m looking for any writings about abortion/euthanasia before 1950 right now, but if anyone has any suggestions to look into I’m all ears.
