Hi @sarah-h, I think this would be a good subject to bring to @reaganramm. If you have something that is really burdening you, please take it to the KP leadership.
I’m not going to go into all the minor details of what you said (which was a lot!). Personally, that’s just too much for me to discuss. Personally, I don’t write either fantasy or…[Read more]

@sarah-h I just noticed your profile picture is a bluebird. This is really interesting because in one of my WIPs, the main character’s name is Sarah and a bluebird has to do with the story. 🙂

You can’t change His nature or make Him different from the way He is to suit your story.
I don’t think Little Brown Dog made any attempt to do this. In her story, as I understand, her god character possess the same attributes as God (or at least as near as a human writer can portray it). The only difference I see is that he chose to c…[Read more]

I just want to mention too, @Sarah-h, that werewolves are not mentioned anywhere in the Bible, even though the Bible does contain descriptions of witchcraft and things connected with it that we need to be aware of.
I think if werewolves were real, the Bible would have mentioned them, so I don’t think you need to be concerned on that score. -

@sarah-h That is a good point about readers not being able to separate the real world from the fantasy world. If that happened, it could have some very bad effects. It does seem though that Little Brown Dog is doing a good job at forcing upon the reader the very sharp distinction between the real world and her world.
@howlingwolf along the lines…[Read more]

@sarah-h Great question. It is very simple. The answer is a resounding “Fiverr”. This is a website where you can get all sorts of services for only $5! There are plenty of people who design logos. I had one guy on there do a logo for my site and it is absolutely amazing. Seriously, it’s good. I haven’t got it up on my site yet but as soon as I can…[Read more]

@sarah-h Hasn’t limitless energy been proven impossible?

@sarah-h Those are some wonderful ideas. Do you (or your brother) have any other thoughts on futuristic technology for the ‘Futuristic Weapons’ thread? 😉

@sarah-h Those are some great ideas. And you said “I personally plan to prodoce this machine under the name Iflex.” Seriously? Do you have the skills to do that? Wow. Impressive. I’d love to get one of those.
I thought I’d just say a couple things. First of all, if these guys have drone cameras connected to their phones, they are going to have…[Read more]

Thanks, @sarah-h! I’ll post the revised version and see if I got all the kinks out.
The Coming Dawn
Long we have stood
In the shadow and mist;
Deep is the darkness
Around us.
Black is the night,
And hard is the road,
And cruel are the foes
That surround us.
Hard is our fate,
And bitter our lot,
And cold is the night
And the darkness.
The…[Read more]
That’s neat! 🙂 What is your story about?
It’s a girl who loves singing, but suffers vocal cord paralysis and has to spend a couple weeks in silence and then months more without singing. She has to find something else to do with herself while facing the fear that she may never sing again.
I guess that’s kind of the messy simple version of it. 🙂
That sounds interesting. What does she decide to do?
Hehe, that’s a good question and one I’m still working on, but basically, a friend challenged her to learn to use her “voice” other ways–and to focus on others’ joy rather than her own. So she’s helping her brother with an invention, learned something new about her grandmother, and I’m not sure what else yet…but that’s what I’m working on…[Read more]
That sounds like a really good story. Thanks for telling me about it. 🙂
