@devastate-lasting Thanks, even though I’ve been on here for a while, I still like making sure. 🙂 Lol
@hope-ann So about old prose… I’d mostly say that yes, there is a chance for old prose, since it is used for older books, and I like a quite a few old books written in old prose. Such as The Hobbit and so on.
But one thing I’d say (and this…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Well, you know what they say…better late then never! Welcome to the party! 😀
Ooh, your story sounds VERY mysterious and fun! Also scary. 😄

Arindown replied to the topic What Is YOUR Story About? in the forum Contemporary Fiction Writers 6 years ago
@devastate-lasting Ohhh, your story sounds like something by brothers would like. Are you leaning toward action/adventure?
Also, you said you have a story that you’re not sure is “fantasy.” I have one too. It’s in a totally different world, and different time, with different animals and things, but there is no magic/power stuff at all. Would it s…[Read more]

I have an interesting discussion question posed by one of our newsletter subscribers, Madelyn.
I write in an older style of prose, older words and descriptions, often moving slowly instead of the modern fast paced simpler prose. Does old prose have a chance nowadays? How can I keep it, yet still keep my readers hooked? Can old prose still hold…

Those are some great thoughts! I especially like how you brought in the example of Jane Eyre. I will try focusing on her thoughts and observations rather than dialogue.
Thank you!

@hope-ann, @kristianne-hassman
@devastate-lasting and @Princess-Foo have great responses – but I already typed this thing up so I may as well send it in. 😛
A quiet, passive, reserved character needn’t be inert.
While others are off gallivanting about, sassing each other and exchanging their witty repartee, she plays the part of the straight m…[Read more] -

Another character question, this one from Kristianne!
I know that most people (myself included) often find energetic, active, and sassy characters (especially girls) more interesting than quiet and reserved characters. One of my main characters is quiet, more passive (although she definitely acts), and proper. How do I make her seem interesting,…

No worries! And no sweat about any discomfort – if there was any, I know now it was absolutely unintentional. 🙂

The Inkspiller replied to the topic Short Story Critique in the forum Fantasy Writers 6 years, 1 month ago
Like the others have said – quite different! The use of second person lent a hefty nostalgic feel to it and gave it a poignant ‘in memoriam’ gravitas and atmosphere to what could otherwise have felt very impersonal or distant. The procession of false expectations, rumors, whispering, gossip, and mob rule was also brilliantly…[Read more]

The story isn’t like anything I’ve read, but I love it! 🙂
At first I was sure that it’s an allegory for Christ. It doesn’t seems so, but Corian is definitely Christlike.
I was quite confused from the characters’ age, though.
Hmm, I’m sorry if I offend you, but… Are you Chinese?
