Star Shining Forever
asked:
I'm a third of the way into the book and I'm wondering why Nicole is portraying "good" Christians as always quiet, gentle, meek and humble.

Great question! I do tend to stereotype my characters a bit, and readily admit I need to work on expanding the possibilities there.
In Hebbros, I imagined those "not fully doing God's will" as the ones unable to show a full faith in God by demonstrating a quiet/trusting strength. To ignore this fact in their hearts, they tend to attack a scenario rashly instead of rationally. I guess the opposite is true as well: When I know a character's faith is super strong, I tend to illustrate that through an evident "rest" in the way they face life. Especially in their harsh surroundings.
Again, great question! I hope this doesn't ruin the story for you in any way. I would greatly appreciate your prayers as I seek to improve my writing skills in every area!
