Those are great ideas, thank you so much!! This is spurring a lot of ideas now, thanks.

@linus-smallprint

Understandable. Contemporary writing is kind of like writing set in the present or close to it, and are mainly based in reality.

@esther-c

Thank you for the suggestions, I’ll check them out! Okay, compelling characters seem…[Read more]

(Whether you read that in his voice or however you imagine my voice to sound is up to you.)

I’m now going to read all of your posts in Sniper’s voice now that you mention it

@linus-smallprint

Great, thank you!

@esther-c

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?

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]
