Writer + Christian= Completely and Totally Insane

So, I finally told God several weeks ago that I really wanted to do His Will in absolutely everything.  This was a hard, hard decision for me because I was terrified he would send me to Africa or something.  Long story short, I discovered that when we want to do God's Will we really want to do it!  It doesn't matter what it is.  Anyway that's not the point.  This is:

I think today He hit me with His first project for me.

I think He wants me to write a modern story about two girls fighting with Truth versus Post-Modernism. Both girls will be homeschooled (there's no way I can write about highschool realistically.  Besides, there are way too many of those.).
I have three POV ideas for this:

• It'll be from the POV of the girl on Truth's side trying to help her friend. (probably first person)
• It'll be from the POV of the girl on Modernism's side trying to persuade her friend otherwise. (This would be third person because I think this girl will get in an accident and perhaps be converted right before she dies or something...)
• I could do it from both POV's and rotate. (Not sure if this would be first person or third.)

So, there are the options.  Both girls will be going through a lot of internal struggle. I'm asking opinions on which one would be best.  Leave me a comment with yours.  Pweeeaaassseeee?

I don't read/write a lot of realistic stuff.  I don't read/write a lot of modern-day stuff.  Which is why I think He sent it.  It's not something I would come up with by myself.

Beautiful People: March 2012

Once again we have Beautiful people. ~grins~
This is a special version, evidently, because BP has been hosting for one year.  We have five extra questions for a relationship between two people.  I'm going to ponder which two while I answer the regular questions with Sheol (my villain, his name will be changing soon; it doesn't quite fit him), Niyet, and Jalem.  I really need to know them better. :P



1. Do they believe in anything that most people think is impossible?
Sheol: No.
Niyet: Hmm, not really.
Jalem: The legends of the elves living in the mountains has always intrigued me, but I don't that I actually believe in them.  Could be possible.

2. Are they strong, or the "damsel/knight in distress" sort?
Sheol: Oh, I wonder.  ~vicious glare~
Niyet: Strong.
Jalem: I'm leaning more toward knight in distress.  Don't quote that.
3. Do they have a special place? (e.g. a corner in his/her bedroom, under a tree...)
Sheol: I have a hideout in an old well, if that counts.
Niyet: No, never have needed one.
Jalem: The orchard in the castle.
4. What occupation do they have, or plan on having?
Sheol: Well, seeing as I'm dead...I *did* plan on being king.  ~mutters~
Niyet: I'm a mix between a soldier and an adviser at the moment.  ~frowns~  If that makes any sense.
Jalem: Same as Niyet I suppose...
5. Describe their current place of residence.
Sheol: ~glares~
Niyet: The castle, which is located in Sem.  It's large of course, mostly made out of marble.  I have my own room, but it's small.
Jalem: Again, same as Niyet.
6. Explain their last crisis. How had they changed when they came out of it?
Sheol: I've died. Ha.
Niyet: Probably waiting in the forest hoping that Sheol hadn't done something with everyone else.  They kind of took off without me, you know.  I don't know that I changed much.  Maybe more respect for Alistair.  ~shrugs~
Jalem: We didn't have much of a choice.  It was that or let the king die.   Anyway, definitely helping Alistair stop Sheol.  I'm not quite as quiet anymore, I suppose.
7. If they could drive any kind of car they wanted, what would it be?
~All three blink in confusion~
8. How do they deal with change?
Sheol: I adapt quickly.
Niyet: I don't like it, but I put up with it.
Jalem: Er...I hate it.  I try to avoid it.
9. If they had to amputate one body part, which one would they choose?
Sheol: Left arm.  I can't use a sword with that one.
Niyet: I...don't know.  Can it just be a finger?
Jalem: Funny you should ask that...
10. What would their favorite be at the local coffee shop?
Me: ~shoves other three aside~  I'll handle this one.  For Sheol straight black coffee, Niyet would probably go for a smoothie over coffee, and Jalem would definitely be a mocha.

And here are the extra 5.  We'll do Dyani and Jalem:

1. How did they meet?
When Alistair invited Dyani to go on the quest with them.
2. How do these two deal with conflict?
There's a lot of yelling and running away on Dyani's part, and a lot of exasperation and confusion on Jalem's.
3. Do they have a special song, phrase, item, or place?
I suppose the orchard.
4. What kind of things do they like to do together?
~grimaces~  They don't exactly like each other for most of the book.
5. Describe their relationship as a whole in 3 words or less.
Almost all conflict.
