Okay, in hindsight one of the paragraphs has a misplaced modifier that kind of misconstrues the meaning. Instead of, “All the working and waiting, etc. was worth all the days that she stayed,” it should be “Seeing His glory was all the waiting and praying, etc…” or something like that. I’m finding it difficult to portray the right meaning in…[Read more]

This one doesn’t exactly have a syllable/word-per-line pattern, but here’s one I’ve been working on called “At Earth’s End”

When the sun kisses the ground goodnight

When the earth turns its final time

When the moon shines bright

and steals the fame from the stars

When the black veil of night

masks the earth from the worlds beyond

WOW. I absolutely love it! Beautiful wording. Great characters. And just pure sweetness between the two characters <3 My only critique would be to further develop the characters – particularly the second one. The second character seems to be only defined by what he isn’t – he isn’t a daydreamer or a writer. It would be nice if there were a l…[Read more]

#StillOut. I’m taking a break off of writing in general; I’m not quite caught up in the reading, but I’ve been enjoying your story a lot! Great job, guys!

This is great! Thanks for sharing it!

@valtmy I love those ideas! Personality theory fascinates me!

@bama-rose I’m sorry, I’m really busy, so I’m going to have to pass.

Maybe “aspiring sci-fi writer” wasn’t the best way to word that.

I dabble. I’m a dabbler. That’s a better way to word it.

I have a lot of ideas for sci-fi/fantasy stories, but I have a hard time picking one and actually writing about it. I’ve written a few scenes for one story in particular, called “Copycat” (pending title), but…[Read more]

@andrew In the case of the horned dolphins, how about this: you have a Maker (who represents God) makes all kinds of amazing creatures (including the dolphins and any others you come up with). Then, there could be something representing the Fall, where the creatures turn evil (and the dolphins start spraying acid instead of glitter). Another idea:…[Read more]

Thank you! I’m an aspiring sci-fi writer!

Great question!

I think it’s crucial for Christian authors to address these controversial topics, especially through fiction. The counter-Christian culture has had the upper hand in literature for too long, and it’s time for Christian authors to share their views. However, these topics should not be portrayed graphically. Rather, our reasoning…[Read more]

@ericawordsmith Also, the time limit is two days. If you don’t get it done in two days, we’ll move on, but you can still jump back in when we cycle back through.

@ericawordsmith I’m afraid I may have to sit this one out. I’m really busy with college stuff 🙁
