Oh my--wait, what?

When it comes to writing, there are some facts that are concrete and indisputable.  Namely, the ones you establish.

True, you need logic to establish your facts, but they are still yours.  As stated before, it is your world, your vampires, your elves, your magic.  This includes your gods.

Whatever god or gods you believe in, I don’t care.  It’s none of my business and peace, love, joy, and kindness are something everyone is capable of.  People are wonderful for being wonderful and any loving god would see the goodness in that.

What I’m talking about is how the gods you write act.  You make this world and you can decide the deities.  That means, like your mortals, you get to decide their minds.

When your deities affect the world, some motivation for the reader is needed.  Something high and beyond our comprehension needs to give readers a hint.  Gods that think like us are no less powerful or even divine, they just give readers more hints.  Gods don’t even have to be good; they can be horrible, have their own desires and designs.  They can have no cares whatsoever for mortals.  They can be all powerful weasels.

These are not all possible purely because you use the category fiction.  If you want to write about the great and powerful horse that watches us from above, do it.  It’s your horse.

They can do these because all rules that apply to mortals apply to gods when it comes to the written word: be consistent.

A skeleton eating a cookie has been far more profound than God in Heaven when met by a Vulcan.
