That’s a cool idea, @clairec ! I know what you mean. It’s easy to get caught up in novel reading and neglect more serious stuff. Fiction makes me feel a lot more comfortable than the Bible does. The Bible speaks to me personally, not as an unknown writer, but as its recipient. There’s nothing pretend about that, which is one of the reasons…[Read more]

@Writefury and @Kate-Flournoy, I’m so sorry I missed your replies. I’ve been at summer camp. Thank you for outlining the episodes for me.

Hey @hope ! 🙂 “Sign of the Shield” is alright. (It could be better than alright, but since I haven’t read your story it’s a little hard to say how well it goes, but it sounds nice:) What about “Emblazoned”? I just thought of it. Not saying it’s better than “Sign of the Shield,” but it was an idea, so I thought I’d mention it.

“Crowned…[Read more]

Oops, I read your post kinda backwards, @bluejay . I might be able to write at 9:00, but probably not before. I’ll be hanging out with my family. 🙂

That works for me, @bluejay . 🙂 I’ll post when I join, probably around 10:00-10:30

I LOVE, love, love Robin Hood stories! If you need any help reading it when you’re done, @bluejay , you know where to find me. 😀

That’s great, @bluejay ! 🙂 I’m not exactly sure how much, since I did it on paper and I’m actually going to scrap most of it, but I rewrote some of the beginning stuff I’d already written for my novel, made some notes for changes, (because the characters storyline changed some since I wrote it) and mostly figured out how I don’t want it. So, a…[Read more]

Okay, sort of, @bluejay . I can’t actually see you … okay, I’ll go start writing now.

Sweet, @bluejay ! “LET’S DO THIS THING!” (If you haven’t seen Ratatouille you really should) 😉

See you in 15! 🙂

Hey, who’s up for writing for 15 minutes? Why the short time, you ask? Because I have to get up early tomorrow and I’m really really not looking forward to it. (That is, the getting up part.) 😉 @kate-flournoy , @daeus , @c-c-lane

I’m sure your right about my story theme, (unless it changes in the writing, in which case it’s not your fault but I’ll blame it on you anyway 😉 ) and thanks for breaking it down for me, @daeus . 🙂 I’ve been reading up on what different story writing terms mean lately, since I realized my understanding of them was a little on the hazy side. (I…[Read more]

Thanks for breaking it down for me, @daeus . 🙂 I’ve been reading up on what different story writing terms mean lately, since I realized my understanding of them was a little on the hazy side. (I mean is on the hazy side;) Your post helped me grasp the concept even better. Defining concepts like theme, plot, message, goals, etc., definitely…[Read more]

I’ll be okay. I’ll stow my story for tonight and give it a fresh look in the morning. (Then I’ll be ready to tackle it in earnest) 🙂

I am thinking about my theme, @daeus , and the more I think about it, the more it changes and drives me crazy! 😉

Is this my theme or my story’s?

Theme as it is now: You can’t embrace and fulfill your destiny without facing your fears.

What do you think? 😉

Another possible theme I’m considering: What you think you want and what you really…[Read more]

I don’t know, @bluejay . Maybe my story is bothering me for a reason. That’s the hard part, trying to figure out whether my gut is trying to tell me something or if I’m just plain overthinking and nervous about the whole thing. Sometimes I think it’s awesome and other times I feel like I have two stories that I’m trying to stitch together like…[Read more]

I think, @daeus, the story goal is for the hero to embrace his purpose. So, I suppose it’s a story of self-discovery.

I could go into more detail, but I’m not entirely positive of the exact moment when the story goal is reached yet. (I have lots of ideas floating around in my mind, but I haven’t written enough yet to be definite. I think it…[Read more]
