you have to learn the beat

“to write adverbs is human, to right he said she said is divine” he talks about trusting the reader to understand the story without being overly descriptive with the dialogue attribution

write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open

when you write your first draft you’re telling yourself the story. when you rewrite you’re taking out everything that’s not the story

really beautiful final image of the siblings together as children 🥹

powerful story about Marcus and Talia

their days are numbered because they cannot destroy the spirit of all these women

the final realization and speech of the protagonist

chapter 9 end - the idea that in death Clara is closer with her children and grandchildren

the style but definitely the ants is making this feel like the sequel to 100 years of solitude 🐜🐜🐜

omg they are using AI now to track conflicts. Of course they are 👏🤖

omg Katya 😭😭😭

greasy pink hair 👩‍🎤

Aww the scene with Aidan and Kady. They are the reason I keep reading 👩‍❤️‍👨🤖

Oh hay righteous letter from Jesus’ brother James 👏👏👏

Hebrews 11 - faith hall of fame 🙌

Philemon 👏👏👏👏👏

if it wasn’t for chatgpt explaining the end of 1st Timothy chapters 2 to me I would be cursing Paul right now. I believe most of ChatGPT’s excuses, but some are just seen him being an immature man 😒

awww the end to first Thessolonians 🥰

I mean I was vibing with Paul until this missionary sounding letter. also think about how he wrote this when he was really young and didn’t know how to be an apostle yet. I don’t know it’s interesting 🤨

why does 1st Thessalonians chapter 2 start to sound like a CYA lawyer letter? “We were so nice to you, as you remember…”

it’s cute reading him saying hi to all his buddies in his letters.

Also, I don’t feel like book reviewing every single letter.

Colossians 3:18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love [your] wives, and be not bitter against them.

I’m actually fine with men and women getting different directives I just think the directive should be reversed.

Review of Ephesians 4/5 omg i’m getting tired. it was good sure and yay

Review of 2nd Corinthians
Aww Paul 🥰 5/5 stars You hear his love for the congregation and hope for progress.

2nd Corinthians Chapter 12 14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
🙌

Review of 1st Corinthians
5/5 stars - only with context. forgive him first saying women should be silent. Most of the stuff that he is chastising people for was explained by chatgpt as legit in context. It’s just such a shame that so much of this was misinterpreted to control people.

Review of Romans
5/5 without context this book is offensive - i read it without context when I was younger and was mad about all the guilting he throws at his audience. But now that I understand the audience was to the powerful, and he was bravely calling them in, this book is great. It’s a crying shame his words have been later used to guilt and oppress innocent people. that was not his intention 🙈

Romans chapter 7 is a lot of inner turmoil about sin law and grace

acts 1 - oh goodness it’s Moses’s cloud pillar making another cameo bringing Jesus up to Heaven
