Ok, so I don’t know if you’re still working over miracles, signs, and wonders, but I thought I’d join in, if it’s all right.
I understand how miracle scenes can fall flat. God is so amazing, and our best writings are so inadequate to describe Him.
Then what to do when writing miracles? Well, what do we do when we see miracles? Do…[Read more]

I don’t have magic either😃 Which made me seriously doubt whether my book could even be classed as fantasy, especially since I also don’t have mythical creatures or monsters. But I’ve decided my book does fit in that genre — mostly cause I can’t think of any other genre it would fit in. It’s a fantasy type story — kinda like Avatar the La…[Read more]

So, I have noticed that I’m not the only person using symbolism in my WIP, and I thought it would be beneficial to have a place to discuss our allegories and find both inspiration and critique. Hence this board.
This is for all the parable tellers around here, whether your tale is a complete retelling of a Bible story, or dedicated to expanding…[Read more]

Oh my. Yes, I have considered putting an end to my writing endeavors. I have considered deleting/incinerating all my existing work. I still struggle over if being a published author is part of His plan for my life.
But the stories keep growing, deepening, branching out, untill they spill out in some form of other. I’ve tried to smother them, put…[Read more]

Yeah, it’s not really plagiarism…. I just have a talent for unwittingly using names others have either used or used similar ones. The funniest thing, is that the names aren’t usually common. I make them up myself.
Ah, that blissful book! There have been many times I’ve quoted the Hermit to myself….

Trahia the Minstrel replied to the topic Characteristic Lines in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 9 months ago
The Hermit. Yes.😂 I love Horse and his Boy …
I don’t think it’s plagiarism, though. Your story will be different to mine in a thousand other ways, so I don’t think it really matters if some of our names have similarities.

Spinach coupons? Sorry, I’m all out, some giant orange lizard stole them all.
I do well on my college papers, have helped write a longish skit/short play, write poetry reasonably often, short stories less often, and ramble on in a most dignified manner over the history of the Brother-nation’s music.
I too create stories and worlds with little…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel
Ah yes, I write somewhere in that vague genre of medieval fantasy. Do you include magic or not? I honestly didn’t think I was in the afore mentioned genre as there is none in my books. But lo and behold, I am somewhere in there alright. -

I saw you post recently, and wondered if you knew this topic existed — I had tagged you, but there’s a chance the link(😂) didn’t work.
Just cause I know you love Zelda games.😊

Hi @joy-caroline !
I love this topic, cause it’s something I get quite insecure about. That is, I want to write clean stories from a Christian worldview, but I don’t want my stories to be all about faith and religion. I just want them to be good stories, if you know what I mean — I write YA fantasy. My sister tells me it can’t be classed as YA c…[Read more]

Your WIP sounds interesting. I haven’t read any dystopian, and the only true Scifi book I have read was Thorny Twins. =] My brother has read some of both.
So, do…[Read more]

Jaybird replied to the topic Have you ever considered quitting writing? Why or why not? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 9 months ago
I’m pretty much like that. I love writing, whether it’s a story or an essay, but I doubt I’ll ever do it as a career. As a hobby I can see doing it, and about every profession uses writing skills.
I don’t know yet how far it will influence my “real” life, or whether I’ll even ever get anything published. All I know is that I don’t want to…[Read more]

Thank you!!!
It is rather crazy.

I am also a homeschooler, Annieran(at times), and love poetry.
