This talk was super useful to me. I've always had difficulty in figuring out how prayer would be done in a fantasy world without being hokey or blasphemous.
I'm at around the 28 minute mark, talking about how the best you can do may not be the epic for the ages, but it builds toward the epic for the ages. Very interesting and inspiring! It makes me think of George MacDonald's novels, Phantastes and Lilith. Almost no one reads them anymore, but they are truly wonderful. And they made the ground for Narnia, and so many other wonderful works. And Narnia makes the ground for the next thing. (I do recommend George MacDonald widely and irresponsibly, though his 19th century Scottish viewpoint won't make sense to everyone...) I like this image of A Good Place for a City. Looking forward to Amboria!
Hey, Jenny. Which of the forementioned works would be better to start with. I have read the golden key, and it was wonderful. I can attest. One can get past the bagpipes, and haggises, if the writing is vivid.
Thank you so much, this is really inspiring for me! I agree, the internet is a place where people find it easy to complain about things, rather than actually do something. So grateful for creators like you who are out there crafting something beautiful, rather than denigrating that which is, objectively, silly or subpar. Thank you. Again, this inspires me.
The only sad part of Rings of Power being off the air is that it means fewer Rohlin/Kotar (Rotar?) conversations. Keep finding excuses to talk to eachother publicly, please! Also, they briefly touched on the subject of translation; does anyone know which Dostoyevsky translation(s) Dcn. Nicholas has given his seal of approval to?
Привет Вам из Санкт-Петербурга, спасибо за то, что делаете.
