Wow. Guys, I am literally tearing up X’)
God doesn’t make mistakes.
So true. It’s easy to take for granted how we’re all masterpieces. Thank you for the reminder!
As I was reading your reply, I started praying “Thy will be done.” I shouldn’t expect myself to be something. Who says God will make everything “r…[Read more]

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Self-Doubt… in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
@Dekreel basically what has already been said. I struggle with this too. Especially recently. I found an author whose skill in my chosen genre is so crazily far beyond my own I don’t dare dream I’ll ever reach it.
And much as I hate to admit this, that thought drives me absolutely bonkers.
It’s not that I’m jealous of him, just that I loathe…[Read more]

@dekreel God’s writing a story right here, right now.
When I’ve doubted and struggled (which happens all the time), the only where I can turn is to my favorite (and, tbh, sometimes least favorite) author and say, “I trust you to write this story till its final, marvelous end.”
Now that I’ve done the popular thing and given the best advice I can…[Read more]

Heya, Kapeefers. Early warning: this is kind of a deep post
I need some help… Lately I have been seriously self-doubting myself and my ability to write, and comparing myself to other writers.
I write because I love story-telling, not because I want to be published (although that would be kinda cool). I just want to write stories. And I don’t…[Read more]

Jackson Graham replied to the topic Arrows, spears, and other pointy things… in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 7 months ago
Honestly, from what I’ve seen, it seems better to not directly describe the moves a character is doing in a fight scene, and instead focus on the emotion and feel of it. Allow me to demonstrate:
Original – “John executed a perfect overhand cut, which Xavier quickly blocked with a hanging point.”
And yes, I did just pull two…[Read more]

@supermonkey42 Can’t remember exactly. It was either lack of involvement or I didn’t have enough time.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>@ashleyvye realistic fantasy so like a fantasy world but without anything that can’t be explained aka magic? Hey, we are all newbies at something. Somebody always knows something we don’t. I’ve been at this four years and often still feel like a newbie. How has your writing experience been thus far?</p>

@joy that must be pretty tough having a new job and being away from home. In guessing that would make you closer to my age (20)? What country are you in now, if you don’t mind me asking.
Cool. Ooh romance. I used to absorb Christian romances but after years of that I got tired of the copy and paste characters and plot lines. But now, I have this…[Read more]
