Hi friends,
You may or may not know that show don’t tell is one of my favorite writing topics. The practical application of this is that I’m currently putting together an in-depth course to help people master the subject. Part 1 of this course is just about finished and ready for me to launch!
In preparation, I was wondering if you could take a…[Read more]

Oh, and good choice with TSFH! Yeah, there name is awful, but the music is great. So I call them TSFH. Have you heard any Audiomachine songs?

@dragongeek Awesome name. I myself am Dragon Snapper, pleased to meet your confetti-filled acquaintance. 😀
What’s your favorite … um … *tries to think of an original question*
Meh, forget that.
What’s your least favorite book? I personally can’t stand the Incredible Journey. Or, what was that other book? Ah, the Glass Sentence. I also…[Read more]

Oh, and of course I have to ask what your personality type is. 🙂

*huge sigh of relief* I don’t see anywhere in here that says you’re leaving. When I first started reading your post, it sounded like you were leaving. I’m glad you’re not. 😀
Keep watching out for dragons. 😉

@salome01w4g I’m glad you have friends who are so willing to help! *brainstorms a Bible verse…* This came to mind:
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with Thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ…[Read more]

Brandon Miller replied to the topic I need writing books! Help! in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 10 months ago
Hey so unofficial staff recommendation:
Go Teen Writers is the best big picture craft book I have ever read. I would start with that.
If you are writing speculative fiction, Jill Williamson’s Storyworld First is also a must. (It’s really short and should be read with a notepad near at hand.)
I’ve only read a little of his stuff, but Jeff Gerke…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper A plague makes sense to me.
Monsters or demons take over the city.
The water gets poisoned.
An unexplained phenomenon creeps out the city so bad they all leave. I.e. 1% of the population mysteriously disappears every Saturday at exactly 12:43 A.M.

@sarah-anson So why won’t your characters leave? Do they not care? Do they not think they’re the ones for the mission? Something else?

@silverclaw-bonnetfolly Thanks for your input! I think it sorta does have to do with the government, but I’m not sure how yet.
@shannon (You’re back!) Well, it’s a pretty big ghost town, but that’s definitely what it is…minus the tumbleweeds and self-playing pianos. And yes, I’m going to make the soil useless too. *nods* I think…

@princessfoo Yes! Go Star Trek! 😛 so, my first idea was actually a nuclear wasteland, then I realized that because my characters have to go through the city, it wouldn’t make sense. They’d melt. :O The Genre is sci-fi, set in the future of earth, 22nd century.
@emily Actually, the giant sinkhole is really helpful. I’m going to use that somewhere. 😀

So, I have an idea for a story, but I need a reason for this one aspect.
Why would a city be abandoned after a war. Like a huge city, with a population of a couple million. Why would it be abandoned, and why would it stay abandoned for 15+ years. Ideas? Brainstorm? Throw it at me.
