“Who are you?” I managed to ask him.
“Someone who knows why you’re here,” the man answered.

“Well…um…maybe someone else would like to say something?” I asked, trying hard to move the spotlight off me.
The faces stared back at me blankly.
“Fine,” I said. “Tell me the problem, and I’ll see what I can do.”
“You should know what the problem is,” one little old lady screeched at me.
“She can’t remember,” another argued.
Suddenly the…[Read more] -

Ingrid posted an update 10 years, 6 months ago
I was just thinking about Good Friday, and Jesus’ sacrifice for us on the cross. I just can’t fathom the pain He went through…I don’t know if I’ve ever really thought about it that much; I sort of took His suffering for granted. Yeah, we all know He had nails hammered through His wrists and feet…but when I think about it again, He actually…[Read more]

Greta started the topic How to Create Good Conflict in the forum 10 years, 6 months ago
Hello, everyone!
The other day, I was reading in this novel book I own that good conflict is made up of M + G + O. In other words, the MC + his/her Goal + the Opposition to that goal = Conflict. I thought this might be an interesting topic to discuss with you all. So what are your thoughts about this? And how do you create good conflict in your novels?

…”Uh,” I pause, trying to remember any “ideas” I might have had before I passed out. The funny thing is, I’ve never met these people before in my life. How could they possibly know who I am?
The red-headed man glares at me again and waits expectantly for me to speak. When I say nothing, he growls, “Tell us about your idea to save the world.…[Read more] -

Everyone stares at me expectantly. I look around, waiting for someone to talk. The man with red hair folds his hands on the table.
“Whenever you’re ready,” he says, impatiently.
I slowly rise from my chair. “Um…well, to be honest, I’m not really sure what’s going on here.” I glance at the big man, and his expression is confused but also cold.…[Read more] -
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Question About Submissions and Sharing in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 6 months ago
Well @overcomer, @spradlin posted one of her poems here for critique, and later submitted it to KP right here.
She’s the secretary— she would know the rules. So as far as I can tell, it’s perfectly fine! 😀

Wow, thanks @overcomer! So glad you liked it! And guess what, I’d already replaced ‘the bow is not bent’ with ‘the bowstring is snapped’ long before you even suggested it. Well, you know what they say about great minds… 😉 😉 😉
Here, I’ll post the completely revised version and see if I caught everything— I do like the rhythmic flow, but…[Read more]

It looks cool, @daeus . Now, if only I can write a story short enough . . .

Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic It's Just a Little Poem in the forum Poetry Critiques 10 years, 6 months ago
Sweet! @kate-flournoy I totally enjoyed this! It felt like an introduction or ballad from a novel, and a very exciting one too. I must say, I expected something cliche, but was surprised as I read to find that it never went there. A little corny, yes, but done right, if you know what I mean.
I agree with @hope that you should work on “The…[Read more]

The topic title pretty much says it all. I have a poem that is fairly short, and fails to supply me with any good name ideas for it. Shame on it, right? Any suggestions? Tell me what to do! (Please:) Thanks!
