@aviantrail Well, that’s an excellent start at least. Hopefully you’ll learn to like him in the next movie.

@bella-d I could answer this, but I’m most interested in what @kate-flournoy would say since I know she’s faced something similar and overcame it.

@aviantrail Welcome. 😀

If you’re a Star Wars fan, would you happen to also be a Kylo Ren fan?

No death threats if you’re not, but I’m just saying. I think he’s pretty cool. 😛 😉

@kaya-young Hi! Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet.

A homeschool grad here. What type of books does Jeff Bridges write?

@alia Oooh. This is a really cool question.

There are a lot of approaches you could take with this. Most importantly, I think you need to think outside the box. Maybe that means reading more widely within the fantasy genre for inspiration. It definitely means asking yourself what if questions.

One suggestion is to make God an antagonist for a…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I haven’t really read modern dystopia, but I do get the impression that it has lost something it used to have. Namely, all the early dystopias were prophesies. The authors looked at the culture around them and, knowing what they did of mankind, civilization, and technology, they constructed a model of the future that they thought was…[Read more]

lol
A heartless queen of hearts. Haha!

@emma-flournoy You know what, it’s no trouble. Have your own doc.

@warrenluther04 Posting fan fiction is fine so long as you label it fan fiction.

@emma-flournoy Sure. You can share Mallory’s doc if you want. 🙂

@itisastarrynight I think one big thing that makes flashbacks seem cheesy is when the chapter before the flashback ends with something like, “he remembered the time thirteen years ago when blakedy blank blank…” If you can avoid that, it should really help.

@overcomer Great. 😀

Here’s a doc for you. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BIHK8v-ag07-tPraj6QWrbf_BVN2P_PjySIw87Ljfyg/edit?usp=sharing

@gh24682468999 I don’t recommend making your story short just to write a short story. Make the story as long as it should be. A story should be short when the concept, plot, etc are simple enough that a short story is all that is needed; a story should be long when the concept, plot, etc need more room to flourish.

Setting is important for any…[Read more]

@jane-maree Yes, well, certainly there can be exceptions, but that’s the general trend. With KP, I know that our emails were read more when we removed all images from them except the picture prompts. That’s with people telling us they liked the pictures in the emails.

I’d recommend split testing it if you’re unsure. Just send out some with images…[Read more]

@aella Yeah, definitely speak in his terms. Don’t try to make him a writer or treat him like a writer, because that’s probably not where his focus should be. He won’t understand the way you think, so you have to understand the way he thinks which is. It doesn’t matter what you value about writing, find what he values and show him whatever ways…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien @mariposa Actually, statistics show that people are far more likely to read an email that has just text. People say they like pictures, but when it actually comes down to it, they distrust emails with pictures in them. Of course, it depends on your niche, but I think it’s most likely your audience will pay more attention to you…[Read more]

@inkling-for-christ I’m not sure that fangirl automatically equals dreamer, but definitely dreaming is not irrational. I’d like to debate anyone who thought so. *roars*

I might come back here and rant about that sometime.

In the meantime though, I think that’s a cool story idea and if you need any help writing guys, I could help. Guys are not…[Read more]
