@jenali Those are good thoughts. Figuring out how characters would react to situations that aren’t in the book is a great way of exploring their more extreme emotions and getting a better grasp on their personality.

@jenali Good set of experiments there. They normally should be similar to the answers to your focusing question, so that’s no problem here! Great depiction of what it looks like when you try to endure without God’s strength. Like I mentioned with Audrey (see my comment to her post to read my full explanation), you’ll want to also consider the…[Read more]

@ethryndal Great thoughts, and I absolutely agree. Since James 1:2-4 is accurate for our Christian lives, we should be applying its principles to storytelling as well.

@audrey-caylin Every time you use that book, you remind me that I really need to read it. =P Great work!

Whoa @Ethryndal that could get crazy. *grins* Thank you.

Of the thirteen blank, sterile white doors in the blank, sterile grey wall, one was painted a soft shade of creamy yellow. Pasted in ugly xs all across it were strips of yellow tape marked DANGER. DO NOT ENTER.

This should totally be a children’s book. With the right illustrations it would be perfect. I love it. As Emma pointed out, a few errors as far as punctuation and spelling, but otherwise it’s lovely. Good work, @R-J-Wordsmith.

Welcome to the forum, @Rachelle! Glad to hear you were able to find us through Brett and Jaquelle. What areas of writing are you particularly trying to grow in at the moment?

@Rachelle yes, I love poetry. 😉 I wouldn’t consider myself A POET but I love poetry. One of my very favorites of Tolkien’s… actually I can’t pick a favorite. I love them all. XD
As for favorite movies, um… probably LotR, Rigoletto, Henry V, Little Dorrit, Monsters Inc., Pride & Prejudice, Captain America: The First Avenger, and a lot of…[Read more]

Welcome @Rachelle. 🙂 This is indeed an amazing place. This community has helped me so much I wouldn’t even know where to start listing it all. So glad to have you here!
Do you like poetry? What are some of your favorite books/movies?

@Dragon-Snapper more recently being afraid that I’ve taken on more than I can handle and will ruin something good with my inexperience. But the comfort is, I can only get better from here, and the harder I try, the more I learn. 😉

@Emma-Flournoy *flat stare*

These are so awesome guys!

@Emma-Flournoy… and sis. Seriously. You need to write a book.

@Daeus okay. I figured it was something like that. 😉

Mkay guys, new topic. How about… doors?
The door in the side of the mountain had been painted a bright new shade of pink.

@Daeus no. You tagged me with a definition of a wyvern and now I don’t see that post anywhere on this thread.

You wake up in the middle of the night to a strange beeping noise. Your phone lies on the table next to your bed, with four words flashing across the screen, thick and fuzzy through heavy static: ‘YOU ARE NOT ALONE’.

Your phone rings as…[Read more]

@GracieGirl YESSS wasn’t it amazing? It made me cry, and I hardly ever cry at books anymore. Edwin was my favorite but Rameaux is close second. Then Drake. Then Blackhood. (No spoilers people. Let’s be nice to those on here who haven’t read it). And… yes. I loved it.

… where did @Daeus go? There was… he tagged me and gave me the definition of a wyvern. What just happened? 😛

@R-J-Wordsmith @Daeus oh, thanks! That actually does sound pretty cool. I like it. *grins*

@GracieGirl aha. That explains why I didn’t know that; I don’t know a thing about phones. I’m a bit of a technological dinosaur. 😉
@R-J-Wordsmith no idea what Wyvern is either but that’s a lovely prompt and I can definitely use it. Thanks. 🙂
