I’m actually making a blog too, @kate-flournoy , mainly to give me practice in writing and sharing my work regularly. My blog is mostly for non-fiction though, articles and snippets of stuff, but I also hope to use it to build my platform. (I’m not overly concerned with that at this point though. I’m just focused on developing my writing…[Read more]

Hey, @kate-flournoy ! It’s been a while. 🙂

Thanks for your encouragement, @bethanysinkyroses ! 🙂 I haven’t tried the Mentorship space yet. I’m thinking about it, though. To be perfectly honest, two things, in particular, have made me hesitate from trying it.

@bethanysinkyroses , I’m in the Y.W.W. program too! 🙂 Brett and Jaquelle are very helpful.

I’d like to learn from someone with more experience than me, especially when it comes to…[Read more]

Hey @anna-brie. I’m sorry I never replied to your post. I haven’t been on here much lately, and I must have somehow missed what you wrote …a year ago. Sorry.

Hey @emily-d ,
No, I haven’t read the Winds of Light books, but they look interesting. 🙂 Have you read any of Chuck Black’s other works?

Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic Beginners' Tips For Writing Science Fiction in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 6 months ago
Some Christian sci-fi books I can personally recommend are The Robot Wars series by Sigmund Brouwer, and Cloak of the Light by Chuck Black.
