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.

I would be very interested in that 3rd one. 🙂

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.

Praying for your friend and her boyfriend, sounds like a rough situation.

@corissa

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 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.

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.

I think I fixed the view…[Read more]

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]

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?

I think murder mysteries are overdone to, in fact if you look at nearly any…[Read more]

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]

I fixed it! 🙂 Sorry about that, I posted the wrong link.

Not many people have studied this topic, I wouldn’t even say that I had studied what femininity means. 🙂 But what I would define femininity as part of what makes women women and not men. God made us different, men should be masculine and not feminine, just like women should be feminine and not masculine. At least that’s what I…[Read more]

Thank you for answering my question. 🙂 I’m encouraged to hear you believe as I do that being feminine is a strength and that God can give us the strength to become this. But I was wondering, do you think God made all women to be feminine? Different from men in a way that is more than physical?

Everyone is different and I wouldn’t expect…[Read more]

Yes, Kate answered the question well and I agree with her, but I was curious to know what you would say about it. 🙂 I already know what I believe, but I’m curious to know what you believe. Let me ask the question a bit differently: Do you see being feminine as something worth doing? Something worth learning as a girl grows up? 🙂

Yes, I thought so to. 🙂

@cassandraia

I just wanted to encourage your desire of being a wife and possibly a mother someday. That’s not only a beautiful goal, but I think also a very noble one. 🙂 Personally being a wife is one of the most satisfying areas of my life and after being married for nearly two years now it just keeps getting…[Read more]

Enlightening analysis! 🙂 I hadn’t thought of this character for a while, but you really put her in a different light for me and brought up traits that I had never thought about in her before.

And I loved what you said to Noah about feminism being a spiritual disease. The problem with feminism is that it takes the place of God and becomes…[Read more]

I like the idea 🙂 sounds good.

That’s been my experience writing outside as well. 🙂 Distracted by the weather or birds, or anything that happens to walk by.

But now that it’s getting warmer outside, I suppose I ought to try it again. It’s always good to vary the places I write. Different places can be inspiring. 🙂

Beautifully written, Grace! 🙂 The characters are very moving, and I liked how you protrayed Death as a friend to the good. It was well done.

I appreciate this article, as yet another needed reminder to be disciplined as a writer, and to set and keep goals for myself in that regard. But when I actually put this into practice I’ll let you know.  Been distracted recently and haven’t gotten as much writing done as I want to.

Now you understand the struggle I go through for this one friend/beta reader. Yes, I go through a lot of paper for someone that doesn’t actually own a printer. 🙂

I’m glad to hear you’ve been encouraged in the details of your plot. 🙂 What was that one change?

I really appreciate this post, I haven’t gotten any writing done this week at all. 🙁  Time keeps slipping away from me as I work on my other responsibilities. Perhaps I just need to accept that I’m never going to get everything done, and just start working on writing after I finish my devotions in the morning. I definitely need to…[Read more]

Thanks for posting this, it encourages me to keep up the struggle. 🙂

I’m definitely one of those that has been dormant on the forum recently, I’m not even sure where all my time has been going recently. Probably into things around the apartment, apparently those can be a lot of upkeep. I’ve been meaning to get some…[Read more]

Happy to be of service! 🙂 So a funny thing happened yesterday. I get Hope Ann’s newsletters, and yesterday she was recommending another writer’s newsletter, and I was like must support fellow writer. So I subscribed to this other writer’s newsletter. Turns out that was you! 🙂 Small world. So I wanted to tell you that I think it’s awesome…[Read more]

🙂 Thanks for this post, it’s a good reminder. Although since I don’t live alone, I’m subconsciously being held to a standard that keeps me responsible for my other duties aside from writing. Keeps me balanced, things would be a little different if  I lived alone. 🙂

But actually right now my biggest struggle to be healthy has…[Read more]

🙂 Thanks for posting this, it’s encouraging to be reminded that we all struggle with something as writers. I’ve found that some of the most difficult battles are the spiritual internal ones that nobody sees. Because those are the ones where I can hide what I am feeling and nobody but God will know. But you are right, as Christians we are…[Read more]

I thought everyone would be all over this to. :0
