I’ve killed characters before, or at least the story ends sad. But I don’t know about some of these other WIPs.

How long do you intend to have your story (if you already figured that out yet)?  My WIP right now is 12812 words right now, though it will be much longer. I’m…[Read more]

I think using scripture in your story is fine, particularly if your audience will be Christians.

I checked and we’ve received your submission to join a guild. Waiting a couple weeks to join a guild is not uncommon, but I’m planning to end the wait here (hopefully within the next 2-3 days), so Lord willing you’ll be in a guild soon. Thanks for your patience.

In reply to - Carolyn Matthews posted an update @daeus-lamb just curious, when can I get into a guild????? ]]> 811aefe5189d4ca21376264aa9209004 Grace replied to the topic Hello Fellow Embers! in the forum Introduce Yourself https://storyembers.org/forums/topic/hello-fellow-embers/#post-40375 Mon, 02 Jul 2018 22:35:37 -0400 @carolyn-matthews That sounds very, very cool!

And, well, I guess I can say I’ve greeted a murderer before 😛 That fact about your books sounds fascinating, though. Do you intend to do the same thing with your next book?

We’re stereotyped as computer-science people, although I am neither. @Kate-flournoy can tell you all about the types.
