@c-c-lane. That’s great. Still working on mine 🙂
We can use this forum to post our writings and we can keep this on for lists and talking.
@his-instrument Welcome to the topic. That’s great. I look forward to your writings too. 🙂 -

@his-instrument I’ll take any of those stories, so just send me whichever one seems the best to you.
I’d love to have you be part of the second round. That’s where I nee the most help anyways. I only need one person for round one really. If you don’t mind, I’ll wait till I have Kate’s input back, before sending it to you. If you can only do it…[Read more]

@his-instrument Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic You know you are a writer when… in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
@His-Instrument hahahaha TOTALLY.
You know you’re a writer when it drives you insane to read ‘strongness’ instead of ‘strength’, or ‘validness’ instead of ‘validity’.
You also know you’re a writer if you deliberately smack your hand with the handle of a paintbrush, then inspect the ensuing welt with great interest.
Aaaand you know you’re a…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic Welp, here I am again in the forum Novel Critique Requests 8 years, 5 months ago
@his-instrument Sure. It’s about 65,000 words. I’ll probably be ready in about three weeks.

Daeus replied to the topic Writing Dares! in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
@his-instrument I dare you to write about a character who think’s he’s an apple pie and is very disturbed by the fact.

BlueJay replied to the topic Writing Dares! in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
How about this one…
Choose a person (real or not) and write about a part of their life that no one knows about.
For example: I am writing about Robin Hood’s daughter. 🙂

Timothy Young replied to the topic Hi, from the Deeper South in the forum Start HERE 8 years, 5 months ago
@his-instrument, facts about Africa… Particularly, South Africa. South Africa has eleven official languages, one of which is English. Therefore no one needs to learn another language. We have other languages, but they are unspoken ;).
We work mostly in schools, though my dad will preach anywhere that will take him. Before I went to…[Read more]

@his-instrument Hey, thanks for volunteering. I’m not entirely sure if I still need any more help with this one. I’m kinda torn between getting all the help I can get and asking for more than I really need. I can try to come to a decision here in a couple days.
If you want to though, I’ll be ready for help with my novel Edwin Brook in just about…[Read more]

Adry_Grace replied to the topic More than one question about writing an allegorical series in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
For the first question. I’ve seen an author use the first person point of view for the MC, and the second for two other different characters besides the MC all in the same book. So totally. Go for it. I think having mutliple points of view can actually help better tell the story, if done correctly.
For the second question, I’d…[Read more]

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic More than one question about writing an allegorical series in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
@His-Instrument Jesus was many things. Homeless. Outcast. Pilgrim. Teacher. Servant. Healer. You could develop Him as any of those, instead of carpenter.
And as for the first question, I’ve never read a series like that, but I certainly don’t think it couldn’t be done. There are no ‘rules’ in fiction writing— more like guidelines. Understand…[Read more]

Hope Ann replied to the topic More than one question about writing an allegorical series in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
@his-instrument Yes! I’ve done that. Well, the writing and rewriting and rewriting. I’ve one book I’m working on that I wrote four years ago. Then I doubled the length, then I rewrote quite a bit of it. And now I’m reworking it again… And I’m not even going to mention another book I wrote last year which I’ve revised a few times and have now…[Read more]

@his-instrument I seem to have lost your email. Do you still have mine? If you do, would you mind shooting me an email? 🙂

Greta replied to the topic More than one question about writing an allegorical series in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
@his-instrument *blows out breath* Oh, man. I don’t think you always have to use the same POV in every novel in a series. But I don’t see a reason why you wouldn’t…if that makes sense. I think using the same POV in a series of novels makes the series more cohesive.
I agree with you about first person, by the way. It’s always been easier for…[Read more] -
Ingrid replied to the topic More than one question about writing an allegorical series in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
@his-instrument
Great questions…
I think before I attempt to answer the first one, I need to know: would the stories be told from the same character’s point of view throughout the whole series? Or would you have the first book in third person told from character 1’s point of view, and the next book told in first person from character 2’s point…[Read more] -

@his-instrument Hey, thanks for jumping in. You love acting? That’s great. Yes, the same for me, with moving. 🙂 No, unfortunately we don’t have S and S in Oz. We do have theater productions/companies, but nothing like S and S. 🙁
I have seen Joseph via DVD and that was…AMAZING!!!! I’d like to see Ruth as well.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Musicians/Music Artists? in the forum Music 8 years, 6 months ago
Well @his-instrument, I guess just simple tunes. Mostly along the lines of traditional Celtic/Irish/Scottish music— something I can just improvise on my harp, and never remember afterward. 😉 I’ve been playing the harp for… uh… maybe three years now? Possibly?
I’ve been taking a break from it lately due to hearing complications, but once we…[Read more] - Load More
