Hi everyone, I am wondering how you all come up with story ideas. Lately I’ve been struggling to come up with ideas that excite me and can last over twenty pages. I’d really appreciate anyone sharing some tips that could help!
Thanks,
Joy

Ooh, a lightkeeper’s daughter! I love it!
Oh my goodness, I was really shipping Walter and Una when he died. *cries* They would have been so cute together. He totally didn’t deserve it! He was the best of all the Blythe children.
I would agree. Nan and Diana just don’t get much development, which explains why I wasn’t too…[Read more]

Oh, that happens to me a ton! XD
Yes! I love Susan, too! In my opinion, she’s the best side character in the entire series. I also love Miss Cornelia. And Captain Jim was so sweet. I also wanted to live in a lighthouse after reading that book!
Yeah, in the first three books of the series Anne is great, but after that she…[Read more]

OH MY GOODNESS YOU WATCHED LES MISERABLES. *screams* I shall try my hardest not to go into any lengthy Les Mis rants. I sobbed throughout that whole movie when I watched it. The acting is great, although *sheepish grin* I am not a fan of the singing. But I think that’s just ’cause the London and Broadway original casts spoiled me…[Read more]

Very cool username!
Oh, thank you! The credit goes to my parents’ good taste in name-choosing.
Yes, I loved the Space trilogy as well, in addition to Narnia. Lewis is one of my favorite authors.
Thanks for the advice! I had actually never considered mixing genres before. I think I should set aside some time just…[Read more]

The only problem with Space is that everyone will think it’s Star Wars. XD
Thanks!

Hmm, I just started experimenting with fantasy so I don’t know all the ropes yet (hence the reason I joined this group to learn from y’all’s expertise), but I’ve been thinking lately about what type I’d like to explore. I like medieval fantasy and also find time-traveling really interesting. Or maybe something in space, like…[Read more]

Nice to meet you, too!
To Kill a Mockingbird is a great book – you should definitely give it a chance! Or watch the movie and see if you like that first. XD
I haven’t read The Count of Monte Cristo, but I have a friend who really likes it, so I should give it a read. Thanks for the recommendation!
Yes! I find the early Ch…[Read more]

I find that keeping track of all your details throughout the series can be quite daunting… XD
True! And I think Saul would have been Shaul or something similar.
Wow, nice! I’ve actually never met anyone who’s read the whole Anne of Green Gables series like I have. It’s brilliant, although my unpopular opinion is that A…[Read more]

Thank you so much!
Ooh, a fantasy trilogy! I feel like my writing consists more of standalones, but I’d love to try a series sometime.
I’m pretty much just adding a ton of fun fantasy elements. I am changing names, though. Although some of them aren’t too drastic – for example, the character who represents Samuel is named…[Read more]

Thanks, Lin!!
Thank you, Lily! I’ll be sure to check out the Fantasy group!
Haha, I wish I could take credit for that. 😉 The quote is from the song “Bring Him Home” from the Les Mis musical.
Thanks, Ella!!

It’s great to meet you, Rose!
Thank you! I’ve been working on it since October 2020 and am on the second draft now.
Cool! The fantasy I’m experimenting with is basically the story of Samuel, Saul, and the people of Israel, just set in a fictional world.
I really like The Book Thief as well! I read classics, historical f…[Read more]

Hi!
Some of you may know me from Kingdom Pen, where I also reside. I love talking to other writers, so I decided to join Story Embers as well. 🙂
A little about me: I’m Joy Caroline (most people call me JC, so you’re absolutely welcome to as well); and I write mainly Biblical fiction, but have been experimenting with Christian fantasy lately and…[Read more]
