Hi, Laurel. 🙂 Your story sounds super interesting! I’m especially intrigued by the psychological part. I love mysteries. Incidentally, I’m working on a mystery novel right now, where the protagonist is trying to solve his parents murder and take down the crime boss who killed them (and a lot of other people).

Our reasoning is that there wasn’t a whole lot of discussion going on, they were a hassle, and you can get articles anywhere if that’s what you’re coming for.

Feel free to post any discussions you come up with. I’d love to hear what you have to say.

Hey guys, this is a short post teasing a pretty big project Story Embers will be launching soon. I’ve condensed this lesson from part of that project.

Does God have plans for each one of us? Of course he does. He has “good works prepared” for us to do.

At different points in our writing journey, we find ourselves more or less empty of ideas. This can happen in between projects, or in the middle of a project. I’m not talking about writer’s block, though that is related; I’m talking more specifically about simpl…[Read more]

It’s Okay to be not just a Writer

For the first ten – twelve years of my life, I went through a lot of different versions of “I want to be a -BLANK- when I grow up.”

Most writers have more story ideas than they know what to do with. If you’re in this boat, you need to know how to cut through the clutter and make the right decisions. Here are a few things I’ve learned that have helped me.
