I’d say so. I mean, almost everything is a reaction to something earlier when you think about it. Something bad happens and the character reacts, either by taking charge and moving on, or by failing, and the results his his actions are then reacted on by others and the circle goes round and round and round and round…People rarely do something…[Read more]

I think romance can work as a subplot, to help with character development or add depth. I never intended to write romance, but it slipped into some of my stories. It’s subtle, part of the background really. In another WIP it helps soften a character and give him depth as well as something to fight for. It’s natural. But I’d not add romance simply…[Read more]

As some of you might know, I’m writing a novella series retelling fairy tales while weaving in the fruit of the Spirit. Anyhow, my first one was a retelling Beauty and the Beast and was about love. The second one is focusing on joy and is a retelling of Rapunzel. Right now I’m trying to plan the third story which will focus on peace.
I want to…[Read more]

Yes, that’s how I was pronouncing his name! 😉 I love coming up with names; well, I do when they come easily and I’m not spending days trying to decide if I like a certain name or not. 😉

Love the names, especially Eon (though I suspect I’m not saying it right in my head).
As for the scene… *rubs hands and puts on critique glasses*
I think Eon’s emotions need to run deeper. That we should see more of his thoughts and his emotion the clenching of a hand, the tightening of the chest, the rapid beat of his heart. I don’t know if…[Read more]

@writefury There is a little more romance in the movie, but not too much. There’s a little more action towards the end and it does stray from the book though the idea is the same. But I enjoyed it.

@writefury I’ve read the first book and enjoyed it well enough. But our library doesn’t have the others and I didn’t feel like buying them. Have you seen the movie The Giver? I almost liked it better than the book; there was more of a conclusion.

@Kate-Flournoy I read Lord of the Flies a few years ago. It was really interesting; different from anything I’d read and yet fascinating. It reminded me a little of Animal Farm by Orwell.

You know you’re a writer if you wonder if it’s completely morbid of you to think having a picnic at a graveyard and then walking among the stones and finding names would be an enjoyable evening.

@kate-flournoy Some mistakes are simply too good to let go. 😉
Also, do not laugh at a weapon you have not yet faced. I could conquer a dozen knights with the sweetness of my ancient relic.

I saw a picture from it on Instagram this morning and looked it up right away. Have you seen the one with Trump, where he’s ‘talking to himself?’
