Liking the story so far, it’s good. I second Trailblazer’s suggestions though, as more description would draw the reader in more.

@esther-c (why didn’t I take you before, you literally write contemporary!!)

First of all, make sure you’re reading contemporary!!! Especially within the little genres that you want to focus on.

Ooh, okay that’s a good idea. I’ll try that, do you have any book suggestions?

I previously read a YA novel that took place in the 80s and am current…

@trailblazer

Hm, okay I’ll take those into account. I would share details about the stories in mind but they’re both in the very, very early stages of development (aka I have one or two ideas for each and that’s about it 😅).

So far, for the first one I want it to be set in the summer or fall, and be about two high schoolers sending paper airpl…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Great, I’ll read it tomorrow and let you know what I think of it.

@linus-smallprint

Got it, thanks for letting me know.

@ellette-giselle @keilah-h

Thank you!

@linus-smallprint

Thanks for letting me know.

@keilah-h

Yay, can’t wait!!

@hybridlore

Thank you so much, that means a lot!

@hybridlore

Sorry to hear that, praying for you 💗

You got this, God will help you!!

@the_lost-journal

Ummmmmmmmm maybe

Ha. Ha. Ha. Little do these poor potatoes know the real threat lurks much deeper…

@loopylin

Good points! I just read the original Dracula this year and I loved it and the characters so much.  And it is a really good example of good Christian horror.

Thanks, and Dracula is amazing. It sucks that most literature that includes Dracula or vampires makes them either seem cool/sympathetic or in the right nowadays (cough, Twilight, cough).

@hybridlore

Okay, good. Eh, it’s just part of his personality to me. He’s great at Warrain and leading the team, because he applies himself, and as a result doesn’t really focus on school. 😆 His skills with computers and coding will be more prominent later.

Ah, glad to hear it will come into play. Well, I like it, it adds more to his chara…[Read more]

@keilah-h

(replying two days late… ugh)

currently debating whether I should do some of my other ones today.

Did you end up doing them?

@keilah-h @hybridlore @ellette-giselle @the_lost-journal @liberty @whalekeeper @linus-smallprint

Oof, it’s been two weeks. Well, here’s the third chapter, please tell me what you think once you’re done reading it. This is a shorter chapter, so I’ll probably post the fourth tomorrow.

Chapter 3

@hybridlore

You nailed it! Is that enough description, or do you want me to try to elaborate? 😜 And don’t worry, you’re good.

Thanks, and I think it’s fine because you don’t have to explicitly state it. Is there a reason why, or are you getting to that?

Awesome, thank you! Yeah, Alec is one of my favorites. 🥰

Your welcome. Is he going to have ano…[Read more]

@loopylin

What a coincidence, I watched that same video. It was really good, I too agree with his view. There’s one author (can’t remember his name) that writes horror as a Christian, and I think that’s good. Just because horror is scary (and at times, has depictions of really, really messed up things) doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad.…[Read more]
