This will be so helpful! Thank you!
Right now I have a sea captain in my story whom I named Jeremy Dylan, but I don’t really like it. It feels too plain and generic to me, if you know what I mean.
I want his first name to be short but unique. And I want his second name to mean something related to the sea.
Do you have any…[Read more]

Ooh, I really like how the story is going! Alyce seems like a very interesting character.
“There slowly walking through the hall, unaware that anyone was here, was Brian DeGribler, Cavensburg’s best army official.”
This sentence feels a little awkward. Maybe it might work better if you started with Brian DeGribler as the subject: “…[Read more]

That’s a great opening! It definitely pulls me in and makes me want to find out what happens next.
I just have one suggestion:
The flashback and amount of detail kind of slow down the pacing of the story. I would imagine that a scene like this would have a more urgent, panicked feel to it. I would suggest using shorter, choppier…[Read more]

Hey and welcome to SE!
I know I’m kinda a latecomer in saying hello, but anyways – nice to “meet” you 😉
I love your profile pic – it’s so pretty xD
I noticed that you like the WWII era. That and WWI are literally my favourite eras. I love reading about history and writing stories during those two time periods. There’s so much to…[Read more]

😀 Texas is really awesome. If you ever have a chance, I’d recommend visiting Nacogdoches. One of my favorite places ever.
*grins while rolling eyes* Yep. Hey Marek, Katja has a good point. You have plenty. And they’re all beautiful. Find some other hobbies.
Ooo… Good question… Let me come back to that in a sec 😉
Thank you! I…[Read more]

Ya, I like to doodle around on the piano, which is the instrument I play. I’ve tried the mandolin, but since I was just learning it on my own I found I didn’t have much motivation to learn the harder chords, and so I ended up quitting after a few years of playing. I still sometimes pick it up randomly, but I can’t play much on it with my…[Read more]

@katja-r Yes! I love any story that acknowledges the fact that, even if someone is on the wrong side or is doing wrong things, they’re still a person. Stormtrooper effects–the faceless villain kind, not the misses-every-shot kind–leave a story far flatter than it could be.

Thanks! I wasn’t sure if you just wanted those you had tagged on here or not, so I thought I’d better check. 🙂
Ya, I wish there were more movies that challenged us to live more like Jesus, but I guess I’m just thankful for the ones we do have.
Yes, I do write music, though I’m just starting. I wrote my first one last July, and now…[Read more]

Ah cool! XD None taken! There are parts of Texas that I would classify as desert-like, but where I live is actually really nice. Lots of pine trees, oaks, etc. My town always looks beautiful in the fall 🙂

Zenyth: *Looks surprised* um. thanks. not many people tell me they like my name! I sorta named myself.
Me: (in actuality I named you, but in the story yeah)

YESS!! More people that have seen the Little Crew Movies! They are coming out with a new one btw! They’re still building the sets and stuff though.
I think I watched the sounds of music when I was really small. I have seen Anne of Green Gables too.
Elements I look for in Christian movies?

Alrighty, I don’t know if someone who isn’t a member of the poets forum can see if I tag them, so I’ll copy/paste this over. This is a free-verse poem I wrote a while back after a friend and I played a game of chess over text messages, that started by me sending this post that said something like “Cheating at chess is more fun than playing chess:…[Read more]

It is! Ah… I haven’t broken anything yet but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time until one of the strings breaks or the bow needs to be rehaired… XD
I have! Um… Let me think… I have posted some of it, but I can’t remember where lol. I’ll go find it and tag you in a sec 🙂

I do like it! My whole family on my dad’s side has always been really into music. My dad gave me a guitar for my tenth birthday, and I kinda played around with it some. Long story short, I was (and still am) really into piano for about two years, and then rediscovered my love for violin music just a few weeks ago when I became a fan of…[Read more]

I totally will post some chapters! But right now all I have are previous drafts. And currently I’m plotting for another draft. It will be a lot different from what I have now. But I’m hoping to get to the writing part soon!! And I’ll be sure to let you know when I have a chapter done. 🙂
