I promise I haven’t forgotten, it’s just most of my 5000 word stories aren’t finished yet. 🙂 So I’m having a hard time picking one, I tend to jump from project to project. But I should have picked one out by tonight to send you.

Rachel replied to the topic Expedition (help me with a flash fiction story I'm writing?) in the forum New Wessex Writing Discussions 5 years, 4 months ago
Just read it today, it was really sweet, although the jumping scenes were a little confusing at first, I had to reread some of it to make sure I understood what was going on. I think it succeeds as flash fiction. 🙂 Good luck with your submitting it!

Sounds perfect! 🙂 I think we have enough details figured out that someone can write the rough draft for this.

I like the idea of the MC being a young sprightly college student. 🙂 -

Praying for your friend and her boyfriend, sounds like a rough situation.
I’m praying for your grandfather and your family and that the doctors can figure that out. My grandfather is currently struggling mentally as well so I understand a little of how rough that can be for family. 🙁

I agree with Grace though, we should try to finish brainstorming this thing so we can get it done. So we need to figure out the name and details of our MC, what exactly is the crime, who was either murdered or kidnapped, and what was the motive of who did it? And any details I might have forgotten. 🙂

Rachel replied to the topic Time to write a mystery in the forum Announcements 5 years, 5 months ago
Yes, we should figure out the MC’s gender, name and the plot. 🙂 I like the idea of the MC being a guy, but it doesn’t matter, what do you guys want to do?
I don’t actually know when we have to have this done by, but Daeus will know. I know there is a time limit though.
If no one else wants to, I could write a rough draft of what we…[Read more]

With YWW, signing up took the most time I think, I didn’t find it very time consuming personally. It’s possible some people might, but I didn’t have any trouble with it. You do spend 30 minutes meeting with your mentor, and you get homework which obviously takes additional time, but I highly recommend the program. It is…[Read more]

I’ve got Faith Blum, which one did you get last year? 🙂 Yes, it’s been really helpful, I feel like I’ve learned a lot from her.

@noodle-mum
Yeah, the guilds take a bit of getting used to when it comes to figuring out how things are done, but everyone really is super nice. 🙂 They’re a great bunch and really fun.I think that’s a great idea for story planning! Tension, theme, and a puzzle to solve are all really important for this project. 🙂
Oh fantasy is great! What is…[Read more]

Thank you so much for reviewing my story! I’m really glad that it encouraged you, I wrote it as a reminder to myself that God is our hope amid this dark culture. Knowing that you were encouraged by it, encourages me by showing that the story is doing its job. 🙂 Despite my trouble with grammar.

It’s nice to meet you to! So when did you join us? 🙂 I’ve been on here for a while now, but I’m not always as active as I should be. Yes, character creation is so much fun!I do enjoy a good mystery novel. I’ve read several Agatha Christie’s books especially the ones with Miss Marple, but I think Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and G. K.…[Read more]

Oh guys, we should make sure we have unique characters. Such as Sherlock Holmes he was super observent and a master of disguise, he studied human nature and random facts that he knew would help him with cases. Like his study of cigar ashes. It sounds useless but it really did give him clues. He was respectful, well mannered but blunt. Part of the…[Read more]

I think our mystery ought to have some creative point, a theme, a good point. As a good mystery it should make the reader think, and throw something at them that they didn’t see coming.
Hi @noodle-mum ! 🙂 I don’t think we’ve met before, are you new to the guild?

Wow, thanks for all your help editing! 🙂 I looked it over and it helped a lot! There were quite a few things I didn’t catch that needed to be fixed that you caught. If I had the money I’d hire you as my editor. 🙂I’m really glad you liked the story, it’s something I’ve been struggling with to recently. There’s several people at my…[Read more]
