@mischievous-thwapling, I can see why it would be frustrating/annoying to have your story misinterpreted like this, but in a sense, that’s a big part of the fun of being a writer who actually has readers. Once your story is out there in the world, it’s not entirely yours anymore–suddenly you’re sharing it with loads of people you’ve never met,…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist @zee @josiah

Wow, every single one of those suggestions is SUPER helpful.  Thank you guys so much!  And that’s very true about readers shipping characters whether you meant them to or not.  I’ve heard people put the strangest couples together from books I love, even if the author couldn’t have made it clearer that he or sh…[Read more]

Does anybody want to do a word sprint?

@josiah Thank you! 🙂

@josiah That’s the plan. That 50k will include some short stories that help showcase the world, ideally. It’s going well so far! 🙂

@dakota

Yeah! Thanks! And I really recommend The Wingfeather Saga if you ever want to read it. 🙂

@kimlikesart

No problem! I’m glad that my question helped answer your’s, lol.

@lonathecat

That’s a really cool way to think about it! What you’re saying is kinda like the quote I said up there: “To a kitten, a bumblebee flying would look like m…[Read more]

@olivia That’s some great advice

@literatureforlight Awesome. Thank you for clarifying.

@zee I’ve been writing down all my ideas and the details of the story, I just want to wait before actually writing it. But you’re right. this is likely the best idea I’ve ever had, and I don’t want to waste it.

@josiah Thank you.

Okay everyone. I’ve…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. I’ll probable try that.

@literatureforthelight

Thank you, I do struggle with plot especially in larger works. I’ll use that.

@arindown

That view does help, I’ll keep that in mind. But… What’s a Panster?

Ooh, cool Mr. @josiah ! Thank you. (:

Oy vey iz mir (usually shortened to ‘oy’) = a Yiddish phrase expressing dismay or exasperation

@josiah Thanks, Josiah. Yeah, it’s dim line with blurry boundaries. I might need new glasses.

@writergirl101 Thank you! What’s your story about?

@arindown  @josiah  @briannastorm

I would, too! If SE gets big enough or has the ability to do so in the future, that’d be way beyond cool. And I’d wear them everywhere! 🙂

@Josiah @briannastorm

Thanks guys, I totally understand. I’d like to see you guys do t-shirts in the future though…I’d wear my support of how awesome StoryEmbers is.😉

@eitan @katja-r

the same thing is happening to me too!

@daeus-lamb @josiah do y’all have any ideas as to why this is happening?

@josiah

Thanks! I have really enjoyed it so far!!

@abigail-rebekah

I know! I really like writing about some of the harder things that happened during WWII. I am having stuff about the concentration camps in my current WWII story. I don’t have everything planned but I have some really good ideas.

I will tag you! And please leave your comments…[Read more]

@josiah

Hey Josiah,

I finally gathered up my courage and joined. Thank you so much for encouraging me to be on the forum. It’s a lot more fun than I thought. 😀
