So a person escapes the bad guys. This is a characteristic of most every book I’ve read. I’m writing a prison escape in my current WIP and am wondering how to make it something that’s not just the same old thing.

Any tips and or advice would be gladly appreciated.

I’ll tag a bunch of people.

Okay, y’all, I’ve got a dilemma on my hands.

To give you a bit of background information, my main character (Emeric Dertok) has recently come back into society after eight years of living the life of a hermit. He’s working for the King (Jornan), who charged him with the task of tracking down spies trying to sabotage the government. But as enters…[Read more]

hi peoples!! I made a website and blog, it was only done today, so there’s very little on it right now, but I wanna put it out there because I have big plans!

For subscribers, there’ll be sneak peeks of my books, which I am looking to publish soon, and more!

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in reading the first chapter of The Inventor’s Daughter! This is my first time asking for a critique so it’s pretty exciting! Let me know and I can share it by email. I would like it to be read before Friday afternoon if not that’s ok!

God bless!

Hey ya’ll,

As you can see by the title, I’m trying to start a Portfolio/Blog. I’m using Wix to host it. Does anyone have any tips or advice on making an engaging website, and what it should/shouldn’t include? Also, when you have a blog, I’ve read that you should stick to one topic, is that true?? Or can I write about anything I think people would…[Read more]

Okey-doke, guys, so I’m a pantser. I started out my novel with pretty much no idea of what was going to happen when, where or to whom, and now I’m at the point (eight chapters in, actually) that I really, really need to know what my world looks like. (Kudos to all those people that know this stuff starting out, by the way.) So… how do you guys…[Read more]

The title says it all, folks.  I just thought it might be fun to compare what your character says to see if the dialogue truly matches their personality or not.

So I’ll share mine first!

MC is Dylan, who is stubborn, quiet, and strong-willed.  A little self-protective.  Lmk if his dialogue fits his personality.

1)  “Better.”  (*rolls eyes…

Hey guys!  Before I tell you my problemo, I’ll fill you in on the story first.  Here’s They Came At Night’s synopsis:

24 miles off the Island of Camino, a commercial airline goes down in the Pacific. Only one passenger survives.
Dylan, an orphan-turned-foster child, was living with his uncle when he got the chance of a lifetime: travel to the i…

Hi KeePers!  I’ve been reading over some of my old writing and I’m a little discouraged right now.  It’s not that my books are unbiblical or unethical, it’s just that I’m lacking strong, foundational themes in my books recently.  I’ve been trying to add them in, but they seem a little forced and/or preachy.  (It might also be that the genres I wri…[Read more]
