You know you’re a writer when you meet rude or weird people and you decide to use them as a template for your next villain.

There is a boy at my co-op who ridiculed one of my characters, so he is one of the main villains now. 😝So there!

This happened to me too!! There’s a kid at our church named Everest and someone called him Ev one time. i was like 👀 😂

You know you’re a writer when your father is discussing political events and you’re mind immediately tries to figure out how to integrate the events in your latest plot.

You know you’re a writer if somethi…

👏✨❤️

I’ve been sick so I haven’t really been replying to anyone, but I’ve been praying.

I know I’m posting everyday and y’all are probably tired of hearing from me, but I feel bad for those affected by this and it’s something that’s on my heart.

There is literally zero problem with posting every day about it. I’m not tired of hearing from you, and I’m glad you informed me about this.

Keep praying, y’all! I know I’m posting everyday and y’all are probably tired of hearing from me, but I feel bad for those affected by this and it’s something that’s on my heart.

No you’re fine, I totally understand! (:

I’ll keep praying!

Oh man, still praying <3

Oh my goodness, I had totally forgotten about these. I’ll be praying 🙏

I’ll be praying <3

Thanks for letting us know, I had no idea that was happening. I’ll be praying for the people involved.

Ok, cool!!

It worked! And it looks awesome! Out of curiosity, what platform do you use for your website and do you have to pay for it at all?

Honestly, I write some of both, but more often than not I’m working on a contemporary romance 😁. Recently I’ve sprinkled in some fantasy too. And same, I always feel like the only romance writer! It’s awesome to meet another one!!

I love your blog! It’s so cute!

What if you did a post on your top ten favorite chapter books or something like that?

I think also just sharing stories from your personal experience and walk with God is powerful, too.

Lol. Well now when I tried putting it in my browser, I’m getting a message that the website is not secure. It won’t let me on.

*pops in from nowhere* Hello! I’m Marie and I’m very excited to meet another romance writer!

I love clean book and movie recommendations! Some topics I’d personally be interested in are tips on spreading the Gospel, maybe something about keeping things from becoming idols, or how to glorify God in everything we do. Those are j…[Read more]

Does it let you put the link in at all, even if it doesn’t actually link anything? We might be able to copy and paste into our own search browsers if that’s the case.

Ugh, that’s annoying. Yeah, I don’t know what else would work. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh, I don’t know. There is a button at the bar at the top of the post box that looks like a tiny chain. You might be able to use that to add a link in. You can put a link to text with that button too.

Oh no, you’re fine. 🙃

Um… Oh man, I wasn’t even thinking of any in particular when I said that, oops

Well, you could think about the things people are struggling with today. Stuff like—what the Bible says about the value of life, racism, what truth is, etc. I guess it depends on what you feel comfortable or informed enough to post about, but also…[Read more]

Nice to officially meet you! I write a lot of contemporary/historical fiction, but I also have a blog (although I don’t post on it very frequently). I’ve done a little bit of journalism and I enjoy photography, too.

Ditto to pretty much everything Esther said! I’d also love to check out your blog if you share it!

Also, I don’t think we’ve officially met on here. I joined back in September, so I still consider myself somewhat new, although I guess by now I’m really not lol.

Hey!! It has been a while!

Your blog sounds awesome!!
Umm… Personally I like seeing tough or controversial topics and how Christians should respond to them, but if you posted about that or not would totally depend on what you’re comfortable writing about and posting.
I also enjoy when fellow Christians share what they’ve…[Read more]

I’ve written several endings that all have slight variations in words and…[Read more]

Of course!
@janelle-beloved-pig

Aww, those are so sweet!

Once upon a time, a fellow was excited to ask his lady. He’d prayed, talked to her folks, and prayed some more, and everything had the green light. He didn’t have a ring, but he had a gal and it was time. It was 4 in the morning, though. So he waited. 4:30… 5:00… 5:30… 6:00 he went over to her house. Now he didn’t quite…[Read more]

thank you! I love Sef and Lilitu, they are SO CUTE <3

I wanna say watch proposal videos but search results for that might be a little weird, idk lol. I would say try to make it specific to the characters –if you can, maybe give them an inside joke or something like that, or maybe one of them quotes something the other said earlier, if that makes sense. I love scenes like that 😊

Ooh, thats a hard question! I am not really sure what to expect so I dont think I can give any good advice 🙂 I would guess, though, it really depends on your characters as of dramatic/action packed proposal or calm/sweet one! I would also guess there would be a lot of emotion in that scene. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much💗 That made my day!

Here it is!

Before I could think any further, I collapsed on a bed, and fell asleep. I had a dream, one that filled me with pure happiness. It was the story of how my parents met. The story was told many times and each time, mom could not ever stop laughing and dad still felt a little…[Read more]

I’ll think about it for sure, @light-warrior-pen. 🙂

Thank you! I also played it in my mind as I was writing and was very proud of how real/funny it sounded!😂

Here is a short description on how my main characters parents met, do you like it? Does it seem real?

Susanna (Anna) and Blake Smith are the parents to all the Smith children. They met at the grocery store in High school when Blake, who was stocking the shelves at the time, was high up…[Read more]

I do like to put some romance in my stories, but it’s not usually the central theme. Too much mushy-gushy turns me off, but I like sweet stories if they’re written right.

If I could go anywhere… that’s tough! I would love to tour Europe, especially France and Switzerland.

Honestly, I’m not really into movies/TV shows.…[Read more]

The subject is me, the author, and the boat and sea is a fictional, metaphorical dream I used to describe the feeling of living in myself, I suppose. (Although I was next to the sea and I have been in wooden boats many times. My da is a fisherman, so.)

I’m glad you pointed that out…[Read more]

I love suspense, although I have only watched suspense movies.

My WIP isn’t really focused on it, but a couple of crucial parts involve romance. Mostly with the older MC because she almost married someone before they got captured, then someone from her past who she was betrothed to comes back into the story. So her…[Read more]

So making two characters fall in love can be easy or hard. Depending on the characters. (I am not an expert on this so this might not be the best advice 🙂 ) Since you have an enemy to friend situation you might want to have one person save the other or going through a tough situation together. I feel like that is a good way to…[Read more]

Power is a lad, surrounded by us lasses, who adore all things romantic XD

i have 2 little brothers, I understand the plight of adoring romance and them…not so much. Lol

I have decided that the end of my book will end on a happy note! What could be more happy than a wedding? The only problem is… well… I have never been to a wedding, unless you count the one I went to when I was 3? I don’t remember anything except I wore a pink dress 🤣 My…[Read more]

Pet peeves? On romance? Neveeerrrrrr.

Actually, what @whalekeeper and @esther-c said. XD

Also, it’s probably connected, but when she is so determined to “stick with him” that she puts everyone in danger. Like when he gives her instructions to stay safe and she blatantly disregards them just to “be brave”. It just comes across…[Read more]

Oh yes, loads. Building off what @esther-c said, I often find that the female love interest is… well honestly uninteresting XD Now that’s not always true, but very often, the girl is beautiful but doesn’t care, can tOtally take care of herself and mentions it all the time to the point of being annoying, and just can’t seem to…[Read more]

I’ll have to do that! Thanks 🙂

Um… I can’t really think of anything in particular at the moment, but maybe that’s because the few romances I’ve read have been really good. XD I do hate though when one of the people, typically the girl, starts making assumptions about the guy based on his actions and gets mad at him, not even letting him know why she’s m…[Read more]
