WOW!! That is so cool…I love your thoughts behind it! I was curious because my story ideas usually come from random thoughts I get while doing very ordinary tasks (like washing the dishes 😛) or from snatches of conversations I over hear.

There are a few things you need to make sure you have in your first few chapters. I’ll go into a little more detail on some of them in subsequent weeks, but for now I’ll just go into a couple of quick things you want should include.

@libby I read your story and it was amazing! Really well done, great imagery. If I could leave one little critique… you describe the girl/fairy as being “lucid” or appealing, so I didn’t realize the main/pov character was a girl until the end, and it was a bit confusing. But maybe that’s just me.

Wow, great story!! I really liked the imagery you used of the moon crying. So sweet. 😀
Just read your short story. It’s hauntingly sad…but I like it. ❤️ Where did your idea come from for that particular story?

This week, I found this quote as I was reading Hans Christian Anderson’s Fairy Tales that made me laugh and wanted to share it with you all.
Here it is, from “The Goloshes of Fortune,” one of his short stories:“Yes, people write poems when they are in love, but a wise man will not print them.”
Also, another little piece I found was the first…[Read more]

Sweet story, @libby! 🙂
I liked the narrative. It felt homey, like a classic fable to be read by the fire. Or something like that, haha; I live in Florida, fire doesn’t exist here
most of the time.It does feel somewhat choppy, however. The flow kind of bounces about before figuring out where it’s going and saying what it wants to say. It does…[Read more]
