Hey!! I totally get this frustration. Coming up with names that aren’t cheesy are hard. I have a few tips that I’ve discovered writing my fantasy. I’m sure there’s more and better ones but these are just what I’ve found work for me:
First, don’t feel like you have to have a permanent name right away! Call it anything you want…[Read more]

@melancholicwriter, it sounds like you have a strong plot/story idea here, though I agree that the dark themes would be difficult to address well, even if–or perhaps particularly if–you have personal experience with this kind of situation. However, I’m not sure that the story, as you described it, would technically qualify as a romance.

Haha, it might be a bit hard to explain, but I’ll try.😄
Go to EDIT PROFILE (it’s up in the right corner for me). When you get to your profile, you’ll probably have to click another button that says PROFILE. It will bring you to a place where you can change your name, say where you’re from, etc. One of the options is FORUM…[Read more]

That’s cool!
My book is high fantasy and is about a group of kids who venture into another world to save the MC’s brother. (I haven’t made a blurb yet lol)

Aww I bet that’s going to be adorable! But now, I’m excited for the last book, and I’m only in the middle of the second. I need to start reading it more often… XD

*facepalm* No, sorry, that was my fault! For some reason my crazy brain thought that it was @jsclingman asking the question. I thought it didn’t make any sense! Now I understand why! 😂
There’s romance in the last book!? Now I definitely have to read it…

There’s no kissing in The Witch of Blackbird Pond. At least I’m pretty sure there isn’t… It’s been a while since I’ve read it. (Fyi there’s no witchcraft in it, don’t let the title scare you 😉 )

Here’s the summary! The book’s title is “The Tribe of Sand and Azure” I might end up changing that, though XD
Seven tribes live in harmony in the deserts of Yerasht, or so it seems. A powerful tribe waits for an opportunity to rule the land unchallenged.
When the newly crowned king of the Lehabim is captured in an unexpected…[Read more]

Sounds like you have your plot pretty well worked out! I like your MC’s name, it’s really pretty!
Liorah is basically pure chaos. She’s reckless, impulsive, snarky, and over-confident. She’s also kind, determined, and loyal. Honestly, I just love writing her.

Rose replied to the topic Hi Everyone in the forum Introduce Yourself 5 years, 3 months ago
Ooh, familiar struggle! I’ve had that with many of my characters. What’s your main character’s name? What is he/she like? I’d love to hear about him/her!
My main main character, (That sounded weird, but I have multiple main characters XD She’s the most important one though) is Princess Liorah. (My profile picture) She’s the…[Read more]

Hi, I’m Rose! Welcome to Story Embers!
I’m in the middle of a YA fantasy trilogy (Writing book 2 and editing book 1) set in a North-African-inspired setting. I’m having a lot of fun with it, especially my protagonist, Princess Liorah. She’s a lovely, sassy character to write XD
What’s your favorite part of your current…[Read more]

Erynne replied to the topic My WIP Romance in the forum Romance Writers 5 years, 4 months ago
This is a rough topic to approach. It’s nothing to be taken lightly for sure. I like your plot line though.
How old are you? I’m only 14 so idk that I would necessarily write something like that because I don’t think I could. I don’t know that I could even if I was an adult.
I can talk to you more when I found out how old you are 😉

Arindown replied to the topic My WIP Romance in the forum Romance Writers 5 years, 4 months ago
That’s some pretty heavy stuff. For me (I’m 17), I try to stay away from all that stuff. Not because it doesn’t happen, and not because Christians shouldn’t address it, but because I’d rather write from an optimists point of view…encouraging good relationships, and leave the pessimist (dealing with hard relationships) to…[Read more]

Oh, I see! Still cool that your series has four books total.
Nice! I haven’t heard of them except for Andrew Peterson and Frank Peretti. I agree, he’s kind of weird sometimes, (ok maybe the whole time) but it’s really good. Which of his books have you read?

Hi! I’m Erynne. Welcome to SE!
I’m in the process of writing a fantasy and plotting out a romance.
I was actually about to ask the same question as @lonathecat XD What are some of your favorite books and authors? (If the other question doesn’t answer that)

Lona replied to the topic Hi Everyone in the forum Introduce Yourself 5 years, 4 months ago
Hey there! Welcome to Story Embers!
Wow! 4 books already! I have more like 1/3 of a book written for 3 different books. But, hey, I guess that’s still 1 book if you add it all together! 🙂
Do you like to read Christian romance as well as write it? If so, do you have any recommendations?
