The second half of the second act is where things start heating up and is also the last change to get all the pieces in place. Your main character is starting to take charge of his or her life and your climax is quickly approaching.

The series of actions in the second half mirrors the series of reactions from the first half (see previous topic…[Read more]

@kb-writer Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! Those are some great tips. Especially the one about stanza 8. Makes perfect sense. I feel meter will be something I’ll struggle with, but I can’t wait to learn more.

I’m glad you like the poem!

@libby That’s a big compiment. Thank you! Thanks for the tips I really appreciate it (:

@kb-writer Thanks, you’re so kind, but I’m in the same boat as every one. Just an aspiring poet trying to make a way. 🙂

@libby That’s a really neat poem! I love it. xD

@libby You’re so sweet! <3<3<3 I’m planning to post a poem in the forum this weekend for comments/edits, so it’s going to happen soon! 🙂

So guys, I’m a whole week late for my turn at the Bible passage a week thing.

Sorry.

But I’m here to do it now and hopefully I’ll still be able to encourage you anyway.

These past three months have been the hardest months of my life. I’ve said that before quite a lot of times, but I usually just mean that I was lonely or frustrated, or lacking…[Read more]

(Tagging @libby and @h-jones who are amazing poets. :))

…

I love them! And agree with @kb-writer …especially the second one. 🙂

So I have a couple suggestions for the first one and you can dump them or adopt them. 😉

The world is as an ocean.
It’s big, and dark, and violent.
I’m the foolish sailor caught in it’s waves.

Good morning, Avensers! How did your goals go last week? And what are your goals for this week?

I was able to finish my goal from last week. Barely. 😛 This week, I will be finishing one last edit of my novella.

@daeus-lamb Ah yes! What I’ve read so far from The Roar on the Other Side has been really helpful. I’d recommend it too.

@the-fledgling-artist I’ll take any kind of hug. 😉 Really though, you helped me a lot with art tips, so consider this settling the debt! 🙂

I got a crazy idea.

I don’t know how I got it or where it came from…but it’s here.

And it’s stuck. And is showing no sign of leaving any time soon…

I’ve tried to talk sense to myself, but this idea just keeps on popping right back up, strong and persistant.

I CANNOT get rid of it.

And since I can’t make it leave, I am resolved to do…[Read more]

I’m so I’m so glad you’re recovering so quickly! 🙂 (By the way, I found out about your accident when I found a post about it in a Prayer Request thread.)

How far have I read?…I think I’ve read up to chapter twenty five, so far…its most exciting! Though I will admit that it can get dark.

I absolutely LOVE how human everyone feels!…[Read more]

Emma Starr started the topic SE Submission in the forum Poetry Discussions 7 years, 5 months ago

When you’re submitting a poem to Story Embers, is it okay to get it critiqued in the poetry forum first? Would it be okay to get some advice on which poem to submit? (Like which one is higher quality…?) Or is better to submit multiple and see what they say?

One of my goals this year is to submit at least 3 poems to Story Embers. I’m going to do…[Read more]

@parker Thank you! I hope to put my favorite ones to music so they can be sung. (This one is one of them.) I’m working on it . . .

@h-jones @libby Thanks so much! 🙂 I’m glad they encourage you. I enjoyed the ones you posted too.

Good morning, Avensers!

Apologies that this is so late. I really meant to do it yesterday, but had dinner guests which meant cooking and cleaning and both took a lot longer than I expected. But here we are now and I’ve got the first topic of the year.

The second act comprises roughly 50% of the book. This is where most of your…[Read more]

How did you do with your goals over the break? What goals do you have for this week?

My goals changed throughout the break. My original goal was to do editing. Then I decided to do a total website rehaul instead. And succeeded in that.

This week, I NEED to finish editing my novella.
