@bama-rose – Thanks for your prayers!

I’m seventeen. I’ve already ‘worked’ unofficially in places that are totally not Christian before, so I’ve kinda gotten used to the ‘different’ vibe. I honestly like it, because it makes people ask why you’re different and then you get to explain it!

Just thought I’d pop on here.

I’m musical too! *wildly waves hands* I’ve played the piano for twelve years and the violin for two weeks. (It sounds awful of course)

I love Peter Hollens, Owl City, Two Cellos, and Lord of the Rings music.

I also write songs. If I can figure out how to post videos or something, I might put one up.

@emberynus-the-dragonslayer

It might be a cool idea to start something for those of us who don’t get a lot of time here. A low pressure writing area. Just have monthly prompts, or mini word battles sometimes. I don’t know if it would count as an ‘official’ Story Embers guild, but it could be fun.

Yeah, it’s pretty hard to balance life,…[Read more]

@emberynus-the-dragonslayer  –  You’re welcome!

I’m seventeen, and no, I’m not in a guild. I’ve been around since SE was started, and I was at Kingdom Pen before that, but I’ve never joined one. I don’t get much internet time, and I just knew that I wouldn’t have the time to invest enough in the group. I wouldn’t want to join and then be that o…[Read more]

@emberynus-the-dragonslayer – We’re all kinda shy about them… I hated showing people my work at first. But the people on here are our friends. If you show something to them, and there’s something actually wrong with it, nobody’s going to start hate commenting. If anything, they’d make a kind, explanatory post about how it could be better.

And…[Read more]

@emberynus-the-dragonslayer  – Thanks! I love romances too. 🙂 Do you have any of your own slightly/majorly sad stories to share?

@i-david

Perfect timing?

Most of my ‘sad’ stories aren’t truly sad… they’re bittersweet, with the sad in the middle, but happy at the ends.

I hadn’t really written anything more. For some reason I think in my head, they found some way for her to take the hallucinations, because he would be better able to take care of her while she was having…[Read more]

So here’s another one I wrote, for anyone interested… @ericawordsmith @i-david …

Every few seconds the machine in the corner beeps, letting me know that the man I sit next to is still alive. I don’t need the reminder. I can see the subtle rise and fall of his chest, and if I bring my hand to his face, the tiniest of breaths whispers…[Read more]

Here’s mine…

“Of course he isn’t safe. But he’s good.”

“And they all lived happily to the end of their days.”

@quinn-ofallon WINGFEATHER SAGA! Specifically On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, said by Armulen the Bard as he is standing on a cart about to begin his singing for the Dragon Day Festival in the town of Glipwood.

@literatureforthelight Your first one is The Book Thief!

OH. MY. GRAAAAAAAAAVY!!!!!!!!!!!

@mariposa YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!!!!!

And yes, I would be so proud at sneaking in a Disney reference.

Can’t wait for the next part!!!

@mariposa This is getting better and better as the weeks go by. This just made my day a million times better!!!

(Do I come back into the story? 🙂 )

@shadowwriter161 – Hey, Erica said pretty much all the amazing stuffs, so I’ve just got a little bit to put in here.

Emotional scenes are impactful because of the first word, not the second. The characters and settings are usually fictional, and most of us have never and never will go on ‘adventures’ or will ever have lives like these people. But…[Read more]

Yeah… emotional can mean a lot of things, from sad death scenes to high energy tension charged stand-offs… can we get a little bit more of information?@shadowwriter161

I echo @wordsmith‘s line

@i-david Thanks. My writing, especially flash fiction, tends towards the melodramatic, bittersweet, and haunting.

That last line though… “Eternity hurt when you’re alone”… ouch.  Right in the feels.

e_elaine_soup5 – I love the song Happier! That was cute, but heartbreaking to leave.

@ericawordsmith – You’re good! That was partially inspired by Rilla of Ingleside. And partially inspired because a friend of mine had just gone into the Marines. No, it’s not about me and him. 😉 I just had military on the mind.

@kayla-skywriter No, don’t get me wrong. I don’t dislike it. I’m just not into it. As in, I never took the time to study it or get into it more than taking the test. I’m an E/INFP. And a lot of the personality descriptions to apply to me, but one reason that I’ve never wanted to delve more deeply into it is that I don’t believe you can put people…[Read more]

@e_elaine_soup5 @kari-karast @bama-rose

I used to live with a lot of people, but they all died. Now I live with a lot of ghosts.

It sounds grim, but it’s actually rather comforting not to be alone.

Each morning I wake up to the vision of my mother pulling back the curtains in my bedroom. The pale smile lacks the love that I once would see, b…[Read more]
