Joy C. Woodbury replied to the topic Hello everyone! in the forum Introduce Yourself 4 years, 8 months ago
I would love to read some of your work. Do you ever share it with beta readers? I have a particular affinity for the Apostle Paul.
I do sometimes! Just not for a while at the moment since I’m working on some major problems in the first chapters. I would be pleased to add you to the list of future beta or alpha…[Read more]

@obrian-of-the-surface-world
It’s so interesting how the city is literally rotting from the inside out with corruption! That’s really cool symbolism!Rose your symbology of the Blood representing the duality of “guilt” and “sacrifice” is a powerful analogy, and the fact that these images and experiences come from Liorah’s dreams are also portentou…

Just for you, I’ll make every effort to make it work XD
Thank you both so much for your replies! Both helped a lot!
You both mentioned something very interesting I hadn’t considered:
I’ve previously established that each tribe is entirely independent in its legal system, and they generally don’t…[Read more]

@obrian-of-the-surface-world
Ooh I love your symbolism with dead city of Azragoth, it’s got so many layers and demonstrates how passive we are about the sins right in front of our noses while we judge distant crimes we may not be a part of physically but are in our complacency. Especially how unconfessed sin grows and wounds and eventually d…[Read more] -
Rose started the topic A worldbuilding believability issue in the forum Research and Worldbuilding 4 years, 8 months ago
Hi everyone!
After thinking myself silly on the topic, I finally come to humbly request someone with some measure of logic to examine the issue.
To put it shortly, I have a fantasy worldbuilding element that might be too illogical to make work.
Those of you who know Liorah, or have read segments of my WIP, may have encountered the concept of a…[Read more]

Hi, Brian. Nice to meet you! (Also, I love Monk). 🙂
If you could erase something from existence by casting it out of time, what would it be, and would you rather have its ripple effect be permanent and live with the consequences where no one knew you were responsible ~OR~ would you rather it be temporary, so that…[Read more]

Rose replied to the topic Examples of How You Use Subtext in the forum Contemporary Fiction Writers 4 years, 8 months ago
Very cool topic! I love your use of subtext to imply the danger in the piece! It’s really interesting!
In my current WIP I keep using the image of a doll both to forward the witchcraft underlying plot and to symbolize manipulation or someone being dehumanized and I also use the word “doll” to…

imwritehere1920 replied to the topic Writing Paces and Schedules in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 8 months ago
Interesting questions. I’ll take the last two because I don’t really keep track of how many words per hour I write (actually, I try to get in 1200 words a day… at least, I keep telling myself that XD)
Generally, I like to write in the morning and edit other projects in the afternoon.
As for book lengths, I’d say I prefer…[Read more]

Noah Cochran replied to the topic Writing Paces and Schedules in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 8 months ago
Brian my friend, I’m not asking because I think I need to writing a certain speed. I’m asking because I’m curious. 🙂 You are correct that it doesn’t matter what a writer’s current speed is, and again, I didn’t ask to compare myself to others to see how much better I needed to get. However, as in all academic and…[Read more]

Noah Cochran started the topic Writing Paces and Schedules in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 8 months ago
Okay y’all, I’m curious about a couple things. First off, for those of you who aren’t total beginners (you’ve been writing consistently and with a purpose for a few months or more), approximately how many words do you writer per hour ? Or at least try to write per hour, I know it can vary greatly, and writers get faster and faster the more the…[Read more]

*skids in late knocking over two tables ten chairs* Heheh hey!
Thanks, I never would’ve thought to drawn it if your words hadn’t produced such an incredibly vivid image in my head so thank you for the inspiration! And I know right, devices nowadays think commands are optional! Pure anarchy!
Oh no! That’s awful that you lost your photo…[Read more]

Hi Natalie!
Thank you for mentioning me, Noah, and Brian!
Wait, what? I do?XD Thank you so much, Brian!She has only been writing for around a year she tells me, so she is still an amateur (though quite a good one if you ask me),
Thank you! Yep, entirely correct!
I have no clue wha…[Read more] -

Oh yes!! In fact she’s drawn a couple of my WIP characters and it looks fantastic I think my favorite one is of Ehud. Not even to mention her pictures of Meira and Rosario…!
And you would not believe how much fun they were! Cathy, you’re awesome at cool character designs and they were too much fun! LOL, I’m a fan artist at…[Read more]

Sorry, I did not intend it to sound like “force of necessity”. It is always a pleasure hearing and interacting with your very fine craft! I just had so many other demands on my time during the past few days (this annoying thing called my job, and sundry other “household” responsibilities) that I wasn’t able to get through the corresponding…[Read more]

I’m so sorry, I might have been vague in my last reply. *Facepalm* I always appreciate all your kind comments!
I was trying to say that I was good at switching between the character voices because I had to do it a lot in that piece.
Absolutely no worries, life gets busy every now and then.
I’m sorry writers’ block has been plaguing you, I hope it…[Read more]

Glad you enjoyed it! Oh that’s cool that you condensed your story to six words! Mine would go something like:
“Gained reward; lost friend; now reconciled.”
Hey, I saw your poem and it was so awesome! (good luck in the challenge *goes back to figuring out what to submit* 🙂 )

@obrian-of-the-surface-world Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I only have a very faint idea of where this story is going to go, so I’m just as intrigued as you as what is going to happen.

Thanks for the tag. July was unusually (but in a good way) busy for me, but I hope I’ll be able to get to some of these stories later this month.
@rose-colored-fancy & @devastate-lasting
I’ll try to get to your stories sometime in the next couple weeks!
