Okay, I’m going to reopen The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes now. Even from what I read, though it wasn’t my favorite, I still learned a lot about writing from it. The writing style really inspired me to develop mine.

I love how you described it like poetry or song. Because it’s so true, yet it’s not blatant or distracting. Which is…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Awesome idea! And since I have unlimited power with whatever is created on the site *chuckles evilly* Biblical Fiction is now a topic under “Genre Fiction”!

If there is any technical issues with it, just let me know and I’ll get right on it!

@elishavet-pidyon

Yeah, I’m using the yellow manor house and the river, but without the bridge, in my current 2nd draft of my WIP.

Maybe the ground keepers are made to stay there against their will. Blackmail maybe. And if they leave something horrible will happen. I smell a mystery. Hehe

@elishavet-pidyon

Yep! Haha! It was really cool! It was rather large with a courtyard in the back that we weren’t allowed to go in. It a yellow manor with black shutters and roof, a large front door, and three huge steps out front with white pillars. I spent most of my time outdoors with my siblings when we stayed there. I remember a huge curved…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

I agree. Beautiful design by a beautiful designer.
Your plans for owning a fennec are wonderfully complicated lol.

@elishavet-pidyon

I haven’t read too many Redwall either, I just really enjoyed the books I did. (read, that is.)
I’ve never heard of Mistmantle. I will look it up tho!

@faith-q

Haha, well, it doesn’t really have to be exciting to be unexpected.

Like the amount of times I’ve gotten story ideas out of an unexpected look, laugh, or hello is absurd.

Have you ever gotten an idea for a certain trait for a character from a person you know?

@cathrynv

That’s cool. Now you’ll have to credit Evanescence as a co-writer…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Your book sounds very exiting! I love that idea.

@elishavet-pidyon

Oh, I love animal books. When I was in elementary school and half way through middle school, those were the only books I’d read XD (btw I’m defiantly not saying books like that are only for kids. I still really enjoy them:)
Have you ever read…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Yea, I’d be down. Sounds fun!

@elfwing

Yeah, I can relate to Sunday’s being the only social days!

I’m just thankful I had a huge property to explore and spend time running around in and lots of pets/animals to play with!

Same! I have a protagonist who is 15 going on sixteen. It’s kinda like I write about the MC as if I was them and was put in a different and exciting…[Read more]

@joy-caroline totally!!! that sounds like a great thing for you people who write Biblical fiction!!! I mean, theres sci fi and fantasy so why not Biblical fiction?

i think it would be a good idea!

@maryg3 I can relate to the uneventful childhood! I was homeschooled and we lived remote. like, the nearest city with a Costco was 6 hrs, and people think an hour is nothing to go visit each other. And we only had one vehicle that my dad drove to work, so the only real social interaction with people was Sundays and the occasional church potluck.…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

ooo love it! so im assuming you have armies of ‘human’ and then animals? because the first group sounds human and then you said the second is squirrels and i love your ideas!!!

and it was fun to read 😉

@kathleenramm

Honestly, I have no idea where my ideas come from!! 🤣 I think I had such an uneventful life growing up that I created people and places that were so much more exciting!
I know I do get some idea from books, movies, and music. I’ve also had dreams give me great ideas and one time gave me the perfect inciting incident!

I think a lot…[Read more]

@e-p-writes

I can respect those opinions 😉

154 thousand words is the general estimated amount here. Yea, I didn’t realize it was so long. My bro and I were sorta in a “who can read it the fastest and still have the most intelligent things to say despite sleep deprivation” contest. It happens more often than you’d think. Over most of it, I loved…[Read more]

@e-p-writes

Oof, yeah. Present tense first person isn’t something I’ve ever tried, but I can already see it going terribly wrong, haha.

The ending is pretty good? I was always a little curious about how it was going to end, but know I’m even more intrigued. I guess I’m going to have to finish it then!

As for your questions about The Hunger…[Read more]

Do we still exist

Ranting about my new novel idea to myself in the depths of my soul. Will I share anything more than a few cryptic words? No.

Just putting in my two cents. 🙂

I completely agree with Joy! I think it’d be awesome to have an area for those of us who are writing or planning to write Biblical fiction on the forum. If the moderators could make one, that would be amazing. 🙂

@Lydia-s thanks!!! He’s my ‘baby’ so to speak; my first dynamic charrie, so proud that i made him XD

@elishavet-pidyon ahhh yes you have put into words what my scattered brain could not at that moment! That’s pretty much my stance on work like that!

@kathleenramm

So… unexpected place? Physical, or like, emotional?

Lol, but seriously, I get the best story ideas when I’m mad. Like, frustrated mad when I only get an awful 89 on my math test.

Sometimes I’ll be talking to my sis, we’ll be deep in a discussion, she’ll be mid sentence, then I’ll stand up, turn to her and demand she say a random…[Read more]
