Mark Kamibaya replied to the topic Blogs: What Would You Like to See More of? in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 6 months ago
I can’t honestly say, because my own blog is my ideal blog. It blends the topic of story and Christianity/philosophy/opinion articles with some fitness on the side. I sort of want it to be like the Nerdwriter Youtube channel which I think is just totally awesome.
But as for topics, I honestly love philosophical musings and a…[Read more]

Mark Kamibaya replied to the topic Beginners' Tips For Writing Science Fiction in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 6 months ago
Yo @emily-d! I’m currently writing an article on this very topic that will hopefully be published by KingdomPen. The topic of the month of June is Science Fiction so that’s when my article will (fingers crossed) be published.
Right now, all I can say is quality over quantity. Research the genre, analyze books, break down movies, talk to people .…[Read more]

Personally . . . don’t care because I don’t notice. If the book is riveting enough, then I don’t notice. I do notice if the book is a bore. So do what you want. I wouldn’t if I’m pressed for time, bu that’s just me.

@Ethryndal child… seriously. Have some confidence in your own abilities. 😛 You explained that very well and I totally agree. Great points. I think you taught me something there. 😉 Or at least put something I’d only felt into words.

@Northerner @That_Writer_Girl_99 yes… I get excited and then it’s full speed ahead, which is rather inconsiderate of me. 😛 Glad it’s been useful though. 😉

@Daeus @That_Writer_Girl_99 yeah, the only reason I didn’t say Count of Monte Cristo is because I knew Daeus would. XD

@That_Writer_Girl_99 aha, that dear old ugly monster of perfectionism. I’m still struggling with that too, but I am learning that it’s okay to fail. It’s when I let that failure keep me down and cloud my heart towards God that things become a problem.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 cheer up. Nothing is ever pointless. Our mistakes teach us by elimination. 😉 You know what doesn’t work now; that’s one more step towards what does.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 ah— the joys of introversion. 😛 I know what that’s like. Most of the time I prefer being by myself or with my family. Hanging out with friends (unless they’re kindred spirits) can be mentally exhausting.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 um, great I think! ;P I’m wading through the latter end of the climax in my WIP, and though there’s a lot of work still to be done I’m very happy with what I’ve accomplished, which is a lot coming from a perfectionist like me. 😉
And life is… life. Very rarely will you catch me having a bad time of it… probably because…[Read more] -

@That_Writer_Girl_99 well, themes can certainly shift. It’s happened to me before. 😛 If you keep having that feeling, don’t be afraid to play around with it and figure out what’s off and whether you can fix it or just want to go with something else.
That’s great!
And no, it’s not. I’m sure this series is going to be awesome too, but what I…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 nope, looks great! I love the different facets of Matthias’ personality. 😀
As for Blake… I really think you want him inside the prison. That brings the battle directly to Kara where she is right now and sets the whole place in an uproar as conflicting beliefs and agendas collide all over about what to do with him. This…[Read more]
