Thank you! Yes, that’s what I’m thinking too. Yes, I agree. Liam is supposed to be Josiah’s Helper on his Hero’s Journey, but he’s not really that fleshed out, so it would probably be better to cut him. 🙂 Thank you SO much for your help!!

@alia @ethryndal @graciegirl @emma-flournoy
My brother got 8 stitches in his hand, but he’s fine–no nerves or tendons or anything were nicked, so all we’re worried about now is that the wound will heal. Continued prayers would be appreciated, but thanks for your support!

Er…none of mine. That I’ve previously requested, that is.
And while we’re on that subject…I have this character named Ava Wayne. She’s the sister of Matthias, a character who @kate-flournoy drew for me a few pages ago.
I’ve been picturing her with red hair and hazel eyes. She has sharper facial features than her brother, and she’s always…[Read more]

WOW! Thank you so much! I will definitely be thinking about this! Part of it may be hard for me because it is a short story, so every word is important and I feel like I don’t have a lot of space. But portraying emotions is really important (particularly for this short story)
Thank you again!! 🙂
See you around!

@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.

@ethryndal @Jane-maree @winter-rose
Also, some feedback I got from Jane Maree was to show more of his emotions rather than his obvious physical reactions. When you said, Jane, in your comment ” I can tell that Josiah is angry because of how he’s acting, but I want to know more like – is he also nervous? – Is this a clear/calm anger or a furious…[Read more]

Do you have any tips on how to show Josiah’s anger?
Like I mentioned in the Writer’s Corner I want Josiah to be a character who has a passionate and fiery spirit, and will act without thinking when he sees injustice. This is a great strength of his, but he needs to learn to use wisdom on how and when to act. He needs to…[Read more]

Thank you so much for your encouragement, as well as taking the time to beta-read my story. I admit it has been hard, but I know that receiving feedback can help strengthen my writing. (That is one area where I really need to grow as a writer :))
Also, thank you so much for the suggestion about the part with Reuben! I really like it…[Read more]

Hello again!
So, I’m editing my novel, and originally, it has chapter titles, but I’m wondering whether I should keep them or not. What are you all’s opinions on chapter titles? Can they add, or can they detract?@daeus @graciegirl @northerner @kate-flournoy @winter-rose @ethryndal @that_writer_girl_99 @jane-maree @jess @audrey-caylin @delightinlife
