@consciousdreamer I enjoy pretty much anything by Chuck Black, Jody Hedlund, and Wayne Thomas Batson. I used to read fantasy almost exclusively, but someone introduced me to a series by Hedlund about knights, and I fell in love with her style, so now I own several of her historical novels. 🙂

(I could probably list many more authors I like if I…[Read more]

@scribbles Yeah, anything fanciful and unreal is right up my alley. 😉

@epicaddie2 As you may already know, @josiah is an INFJ as well. We’re so numerous that I’m beginning to think we rule the writing world. 😉

I love nature photography too! Especially flowers and sunsets. 🙂

@pookiemonster Welcome to Story Embers!

I loathed writing (and reading!) back in elementary school, and English was my least favorite subject in high school, but now I’m a professional editor, so I work with words and grammar every day. And nothing could make me happier. ☺️ My, how our perspectives and ambitions change with time.

I’m glad you…[Read more]

@happyholly_c Welcome to Story Embers!

I’m always delighted to meet an optimist! 🙂 Sounds like you have a wonderful assortment of talents and ambitions. What musical instrument do you play?

@livgiordano Welcome to Story Embers!

I’m a fan of Chuck Black too! Which of his books/series is your favorite?

@lenakarynn Welcome to Story Embers!
Fantasy is my favorite genre. 🙂 I’d love to hear the premise of your novel too if you’d like to share.

@epicaddie2 Welcome to Story Embers!

I’m amazed by how many INFJs we have around here. 😉 I’m a fusion of an INTJ and an INFJ. My test results fluctuate between those two types depending upon what’s happening in my life.

I enjoy photography as a side hobby too. 🙂 What are your favorite things to photograph?

@livgiordano

@josiah Handles most of the techie stuff. I noticed the same issue, but wasn’t sure whether it was just my internet being wonky.

@emma-starr *Returns the shy smile* Welcome to Story Embers! 🙂

What a beautiful metaphor you’ve written! And I have to agree that books are way better than movies. 😉 Which of the Narnia chronicles is your favorite?

@scribbles Sorry. 😅 I didn’t realize it was a significant detail. The recorder lessons were from my childhood, and I tried to teach myself to read music when I was around 16.

@morgan-tailor Welcome to Story Embers!

Sounds like you lead an interesting life. 🙂 Which states were your favorite to visit?

I love your signature! Milkshakes are indeed happiness-inducing drinks. 😉

@scribbles Sparkies? 😂 Oh my.

@scribbles @cindy You two are my favorite poets, so the fact that you’re chatting warms my heart. ☺️💜

@archer360 Wow! It does sound like your MC has to endure one catastrophe after another! I like your working title. 🙂

@archer360 Welcome to Story Embers! I’m 90% introverted, so I can relate to being more of a silent spectator than a participant. 😉 Kudos to you for being brave and saying hello!

Would you like to share the premise of your WIP, or is it top secret?

@sam-kowal Yes, being a staff writer for SE involves submitting a piece of writing each month (though the type of content can vary) and then refining it through critique from other staff writers and the content/style revisions that Josiah and I recommend. 🙂

“Only embers of the Story Embers staff will..” Was that an intentional typo on the form? 😛

@supermonkey42 “Strembafers.” 😂 That’s a mouthful! It sounds like the gibberish a person would say if they were trying to pronounce “Story Embers” while chewing food. 😆

@r-m-archer I actually just finished reading that trilogy and loved it! I’ll always have a soft spot for The Door Within trilogy though. 🙂
