*high-fives fellow middle-grade writer*High fives!! The premise of mine right now … It’s more like a short story series, which I would love to release one at a time on my website/blog. The story has androids, war, hope, heartbreak, loyalty, and a terra-formed planet. It’s been tons of fun. Tell me about yours!!
And thanks for your encouragement about short story writing still being real writing. Lol I feel like the little kid who just got picked to be on the big girl team 🤣

Sci-Fi too?!
I love some good sci-fi! My first stories were sci-fi. I also had drafted my first novel-length stories in Sci-Fi. Check out the other Groups in the Forum too. You can belong to several at the same time, you know. (I belong to “seven” (my magic number it seems), and one of them is “Horror Writers”…shhhh! Don’t tell! I put a scary, creepy story out there recently. Wouldn’t want anyone to know I can write “dark stories” too. Oh, that would truly dispel the fact that I am a little messed up. 😁 Can Christians write THAT sort of thing?! Why, yes they can! Peretti did it with “The Oath” and both he and Dekker did it with “House”. Argueably, you could say Ted Dekker does it with several of his works: “Skin”, “Adam”, etc. Robert Liparulo with “Comes a Horseman” and “The 13th Tribe”. Mike Dellosso with “Frantic”, “Fearless” and “Scream”. Tim Downs with “First The Dead”. Harold Myra with his Tokienesque horror called “Children In The Night”. [You might just think I am a Faith-based Thriller book collector…😊…and you’d be right. You’re in “good” company writing about the dark side, too.]
