Lindsey Elende is a countess.
Ronalde Garrone is a radical.
When revolution erupts, two unlikely friends will become either desperate enemies or vital allies while the ax hangs close over their heads.

ALT On a black background, a man with dark hair in historical fashion stars into the distance. Across from him, a girl with wavy hair in a rose-colored historical dress faces in the opposite direction. Above their heads respectively are the names βRonalde Garroneβ and βLindsey Elende.β Between them, going down the page as if to split them are the words βA Tale of Two Friends Enemies Lovers Allies in the midst of revolution.β A graphic of a ripped page below them has the title βCourage and Activityβ written in cursive. Below that, it says βNow playingβ in white letters.β Underneath the ripped page graphic is a picture of a Pemberly-like mansion.

Are you even a writer if when you go to a museum on vacation you don't immediately want to write a romance based on one painting you saw?
ah, just me...okay π

I started to try and write a play about murdering a king in iambic pentameter once. It was not good, but it was fun.
Have you ever tried to mimic a famous poet's writing style? If so, which one?
This was an assignment in high school and I picked Tennyson. Curious whether I still have the poem!

I don't like the way new twitter emphasizes replies so much bc, if you haven't noticed, I'm really into theology, but it would be nice to discuss it without bothering All my followers, who could hardly care less.

Reading has made me appreciate how much of life depends on perspective. Change the narrator and you often change the story.

While I understand mainstream Christians' views on the fall, it still shocked me when I realized they only had 1.5 acts of the "three act play"
Christianity isn't incoherent without it, but I do understand why so many lose faith in face of the trials w/o the whole plan

Christianity is incoherent without a pre-mortal existence.
The idea of Christ is that he is the word of God made flesh⦠just as the word of God ordered the cosmos, so too Christ redeems a fallen world, bringing order to that which was corrupted.
But Christ also demonstrated that God moves for a very specific reason. Namely, to help us overcome and transcend the suffering of our current state.
If we believe the Christian message, we believe it is for this purpose that God acts.
A question, then⦠If God was alone in the universe from the beginning, why would he act at all? And even more puzzling⦠Why would he bring about a creation that does not alleviate suffering, but actually introduces and inflicts it upon his creatures?
He would be creating suffering where before there was none. In such a scenario, YHWH, the creator, is the antithesis of Jesus Christ, the Son.
I donβt accept that. It can only be what Joseph Smith revealedβ¦ God found himself in the midst of intelligences, which had always existed, and they desired to transcend the suffering by binding themselves to him through covenant.
So they could be more like him.

Premortal life scriptures:
Jeremiah 1:5
Job 38:7
Ecclesiastes 12:7
Ephesians 1:4
Isaiah 6
I know some of these have other possible interpretations, but I do feel like the meaning of life is a great deal clearer knowing there's a plan.

Am I the only one who ever feels salty that none of the books I beta read count towards my Goodreads challenge? π€π

Reading this wondering if God's trying to tell me something about when I still occasionally yearn for a certain young man π

Sometimes I think I don't want a geek husband bc I'm not *that* excited about any one fandom and he'd probably be disappointed
But then I think about dates to make home depot lightsabers and visiting the Naboo filming locations and I reconsider

This!!!!! Regardless of politics, we're in dangerous waters when we only value education as a means to get money.

Conservatives often criticize universities for failing to prepare students for jobs.
But that's like criticizing a library for failing to function as a gym.
The purpose of a university was never vocational training. It was always the pursuit and transmission of knowledge.

i love when you get lost in a book, like you no longer realize you are reading, because everything just seems like a really good movie playing in your head.

Went outside to write, and a ladybug landed on my laptop. This writing session has the bug kingdom's approval.

Thinking about how I almost never block people and remembering this is the reason I do like John Stuart Mill so much.
I love hearing diverse opinions, and I think he's right that we have to let our idea be challenged.

Editing my first draft feels like looking at a crime scene where I am the detective, the victim, and the prime suspect.π΅οΈββοΈ

Tag me if you see any of these, any I'll be eternally grateful! π€©
