ella started the topic Help! I'm stuck on themes… 🙁 in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 3 years, 5 months ago
Hi KeePers! I’ve been reading over some of my old writing and I’m a little discouraged right now. It’s not that my books are unbiblical or unethical, it’s just that I’m lacking strong, foundational themes in my books recently. I’ve been trying to add them in, but they seem a little forced and/or preachy. (
It might also be that the genres I wri…[Read more] -

I will bring potato-chip cookies, topped with broccoli ice cream and decorated with a secret green syrup that tastes oddly like chlorined pool algae and mint! It’s the best. Does wonders for the digestion.
My gift: Well, other…[Read more]

@gracie-j Absolutely! Ooo really? Well if it’s working out for both of you, then I may have to try it XD
One thing I already don’t like about Vella is that the descriptions for your novels are verrry limiting. I’m having trouble writing mine for Vella loll. We’ll figure it out tho, it’s fine XD

@keilah-h Loooolll poor characters XDD We really do so much to them T_T
And yeah same, I can’t stand reading or watching any kind of gore or anything, but I do tend to hurt my characters a bit XD Not too much, because if it’s constantly dark, then I tend to lose interest, but definitely enough to spice things up XD

@writerlexi1216 Oooo congrats for reaching your climax!!!
Idk if they’ll help you much, but some tips I’ve picked up are:
The human brain naturally loves to see character(S) argue with others/themself. They don’t need to just all agree at once on a plan and walk into the epic showdown, let them argue, whether it’s with themselves, or with the…[Read more]

@gracie-j Sure thing! I’m hoping it’ll take off, since it’s linked to Amazon and all, who’s like one of the biggest powerhouses for books, but we’ll definitely see loll. Good luck on doing yours on your blog! Do you think you’ll ever set up a paywall?

@joy-caroline
I do like to talk about how I get my ideas. XDOkay, I’m going to be open here and talk about something that I’ve never talked about with my writing friends before. Most of y’all know about the novel I was writing called Behind the Blade, Without the Wings. But what you didn’t know is that I got the idea for that novel LAST YEAR, a…[Read more]

ella replied to the topic How did you come up with the idea for your current WIP? in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 5 months ago
Well, to be honest, stories kinda come to me. I can’t really force myself to come up with ideas, but I do enjoy finding prompts (on Reedsy: https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/). I also find great ideas when I’m reading; for example, I was reading The Chosen by Taran Matharu and I thought about traveling between worl…[Read more]

ella replied to the topic Writing the Climax in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 5 months ago
One thing that I suggest is a personality change/evolution in your cast of characters: the villain might change for better or descend into a downward spiral. The secondary characters might end up sacrificing themselves for their friends, or maybe they betray them. The MC might end up getting what they’ve been trying to get th…[Read more]
