Here’s an idea. What if the protagonist and the antagonist are working for the same or a similar goal?

@sarah-h: Thank you! That is so encouraging! I’ve always felt there’s not enough Christian fiction (namely fantasy, which is a lot of the time so dark and evil), especially for young adults/teens, and instead of sitting around mulling about it, I wanted to do something! It looks like everyone on here has the same idea, and it’s wonderful that so…[Read more]

Wow @jess. I think you’re muse needs a smoke alarm 😛

@jess Amazing!!! (Note to self: finish planning so you can get back to writing!) 😛

@kate-flournoy

Okay… How can I show instead of tell? :S

I don’t think she thinks of selling everything… 😛 I just thought, since she’s financially hard-pressed at that point, she may want to take advantage of the situation. But then again she does intend to sell….well, you’ll see… 😉

Thanks for the critiques! 😀

@daeus That’s great! Glad you’re making progress. I wrote part of a description for a new children’s story I’m planning as well as a page of technicalities. It’s a work in progress, but I think my planning muse decided to come home.

@dragon-snapper @jess I wrote 598 words. I think my muse is starting to come back.

@kate-flournoy

I wouldn’t say that’s uncivilized. Just a different area of expertise. 😛 If you like doing digital art, though, it may be easy to paint textures onto UV layouts… Now I suppose I must explain what UV layouts are! XD

They’re basically a flattened out version of a 3D mesh. Like a net. Have you ever seen a net of a cube? It looks…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy

Ah, I see… Have you tried writing any fiction at all? 🙂

@jess Welcome, dear friend.

@kate-flournoy: Oooh, I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks! 🙂

@daeus Goody. I’ll be here.

@PerfectFifths FontRiver is another good one.

Ah, well have a good night @kate-flournoy. Don’t go swallowing your glasses anymore.

@dragon-snapper @anyone-else I’m still gonna write tonight.

@kate-flournoy: I like the Gothic scripts, too. I often go searching for fonts to use in my stories. My favourite site is FontSpace. Everything is free, and I always download the ones that allow for personal and commercial use.

@Daeus @Dragon-Snapper I won’t be able to write tonight. Good luck if you guys go without me.

@PerfectFifths yes, I had loads of fun teaching myself all the different old fonts I could find… in fact I probably should have learned the basics first, but I wanted to learn those other fonts so badly I plunged right into the advanced styles and mastered the basics on the way. 😛 I especially like the Gothic font— the one used most in old…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy: Wow, that’s awesome! I can have fairly nice handwriting (when I really, really try!) but most of the time I specialise in cacography. 😉 My mum has reeeeallllly nice handwriting, and she makes amazing looking fonts. 😀

@PerfectFifths I am so jealous… 😛 I actually taught myself calligraphy simply because I loved the font Tolkien uses for his maps so much I wanted to make maps the same way. XD
