Contemporary Fiction Writers

@eden-anderson Ahhh thank you! Truthfully I don’t think much of world-building because I don’t use the setting as much as I should haha…

Your characters sound so sweet! I’d love to know more about your story!

@emma-starr Absolutely! I’ll let you know. 😊 Thanks for offering!

Aw, really?! I took piano lessons when I was younger but I quit after about a year and never took it up again. I kind of wish I would have kept going…

Currently, I don’t play any instruments, but I’m hoping to learn the guitar! And I’d really, really, really love to play the…[Read more]

@melodyjoy

Awesome can’t wait to read it!

Everybody!

I’ve finished the first half of chapter 1 of my story. I’ll post it as another topic and tag ya’lls in it.

Please, comment and give tips. I wanna make sure it sounds good before I get to far into the writing. (I’m sure y…[Read more]

@arindown

Hello!

So, I’m still working on some details but after the car accident (and before too) she is kinda like one of those people who acts like God isn’t really there but she’s a Christian. You probably know what I mean. I’m going to make her really “fight” against God for a while after the car accident, then finally “turn” to Him when…[Read more]

@arindown

Haha, thanks! Ricky isn’t in it much, he’s just a mental reminder for Marrill throughout the book!

@arindown That sounds like an awesome neighborhood, would live in ten out of ten. Would it be in any way similar to Ray Bradbury’s Green Town series? (I think it’s called Green Town…not sure)

@arindown Very good question! See, there’s more than one gang in Heather Flights (it gets very crowded) and they all run different types of illegal businesses or what-not (casinos, money laundering, making ripoffs, etc, etc, etc honestly depends on who you are) and the regular residents who have the disease are afraid of the mafia. What happened…[Read more]

Here are a couple of my characters from Mapleton. I have a whole town (literally) of characters, but I’ll just touch on the main ones.😉

Julia Johns: Julia is usually around 14 (her age fluctuates sometimes depending on the story😆), she has frizzy brown hair, lots of freckles, and a spunky, lively, emotional personality. She loves talking on the…[Read more]

@melodyjoy Your new story sounds amazing! How are you going to make Chloe deal with her struggles? I love writing the emotional side of characters. I can hardly wait to hear more about your story.😄

@beth20 Marrill sounds so cool! I love characters that are like the author.☺️ They’re more authentic.

I’m curious to know what part Ricky plays in the story.

@devastate-lasting Wow. What a cast you’ve got.😊 I love it. I like the different dynamics with the brothers, and I love the name Shade. Micah sounds kinda slick…like he knows how to play his game.😄

Also, I’m wondering why the drug dealers won’t sell Shade’s drug. I mean, I know you kinda explained it. But isn’t all “drug dealer” stuff illeg…[Read more]

@melodyjoy Aw, that’s too bad. I would love to have pets someday.

@emberynus-the-dragonslayer Aw, thank you! I love him too 🙂 (And I want to cry every time I think of him….ah….)

@beth20

Thanks!

@melodyjoy

Haha yeah, life! lol, I like the premise for your book!

@devastate-lasting

Your characters are so cool! I love Shade Seneca!

@arindown

This is a really cool idea! I’ll try to put a character up soon. 🙂

@devastate-lasting

🙂 Thanks so much!

Yeah, I love guinea pigs! I used to have 2 of them (not anymore, sad…)

@melodyjoy Ahaha thanks! (There’s so much backstory to cover it’s really hard to give a complete description of all the characters)

Ahh your story sounds really meaningful! I would love to read it! Also you profile picture is super cute.

OK, so here is the basic “gist” of my story 🙂 :

Chloe Loran worked at a daycare till a horrific car accident seriously injured her. Struggling with depression, guilt, and many serious physical issues, she must turn to God for help with her relationships and her physical and emotional needs. 

I’ll try to post some of the story asap 🙂

Thanks!
