In this situation, I don’t think suicide really “atones” for anything. Not the way she might think, not when you break it down. If she does kill herself, the only thing it’s doing is erasing the possibility of her hurting anyone else. But it doesn’t change or “make up for” anything she’s…[Read more]

It’s up to you. I’m okay with it either way. 🙂

Hey, sorry. I keep getting distracted by life. I’m here.

The only one I can think of on top of that is characters in wheelchairs. I’ve ended up with two paraplegic characters so far, just from having a random idea of “I want to see an x style story with…[Read more]

Thanks for the link! I’ll have to read a story or two sometime.

@vivian-grant

I have not actually written anything I’d call horror yet, although I have some ideas. I could see how that’d be difficult though. I think with other stories I’ve gotten the advice of focusing more on what the characters are feeling, rather than what…[Read more]

I also really liked Broken Arrow by Azaria Durant. It’s not explicitly christian, but I know the author is, so for whatever that’s worth.

If you read the Circle (trilogy) Series, do not read Green. J…[Read more]

Those all sound really neat.

I’m trying to figure out how to describe it. XD It’s basically a sort of “life is worth living/anti suicide” message with a road trip aesthetic. If that makes any sense.

I actually haven’t read much horror either, besides classic horror. Frankenstein and Dracula are both good, and there’s a super short second vampire novel called Carmilla that was interesting. I think the only modern horror I’ve read was a book called Prodigal Son which is part of a Frankenstein retelling series sort of thing by a guy…[Read more]

My current fantasy project came as a scene randomly popped into my head. From there I had to figure out who those people were, what they were doing, and what was even going on.

I do have one story idea that came as the idea “this story, set in this…[Read more]

“Hello.” Thaddeus said.

Thanks!

That is interesting. It’s neat how different stories can come across to different people.

@michael-erasmus

I don’t know if I have much to say about what you wrote (brain isn’t working right now) but it does sound really neat, and from what you described of your story world it sounds similar to a story world I have that I’m including…[Read more]

Those sound neat! What’s the premise of them?

Any good horror books you’d suggest? I read several Ted Dekkers a while ago, but he managed to alienate me enough that I’m leery to read anything else by him.

I have one contemporary story that I’m playing around with. It’s a road trip story, which I have no idea how to write and that’s making it hard. I think I also backed myself into a corner with my last couple of chapters that I can’t get out of without deleting them, and the character they introduced. Which…[Read more]

When there’s any kind of magic though, that’s when things get iffy for me.…[Read more]

Thaddeus knocked loudly.

Thaddeus glanced around the forest. He wasn’t scared. Although it would have been nice to know where he was… And how to get back…

He can be lost or hurt, whichever works best.

Thaddeus (last name currently went missing): 16, average height, thin, sandy hair he likes to flop over his eyes, introduces himself Philip to annoy his cousin, enjoys falconry. I don’t think I have much else on him.

Christmas was Christmas. -shrug-

Glad to hear that you’re safe from the fires so far! I’ll be praying.

I did end up committing to doing NaNo this year. Very frustrated with the site updates that are making it almost impossible for me to use properly, especially in the realm of buddies, but I’ll get over it.

So far I have about 30k words.
