I am really impressed with your convictions to write Godly romance. I’m also a teenage girl who’s never been on a date…so I don’t really know anything about this, but I do have some ideas.😄

Like Zee said, making Kimberly really insecure in other areas of life will make her reluctance to start a relationship with Carter more…[Read more]

You might…[Read more]

This has been a really informative thread thus far. 🙂

And @rebekah-elizabeth, you’re doing a great job of gracefully taking feedback and building a stronger plan! I wish you all the best as you continue to work toward an end result (both with your project and the trajectory of your writing journey in general)…[Read more]

I’m doing NaNoWriMo right now, but I could double up with Word Wars if you want.

I’ll be writing at maybe 6:30 tomorrow morning (Eastern Time), if anyone wants to join.

Also, I saw your other thread, and I’m wondering what your story is about? I’ve never published or had a “real” editor, but I plan to in the next year or two.

The most important thing to focus on is your product. Building a platform, paying for ads, and all that are secondary and really just drain your energy until you’ve got the foundation laid.

If you create a product, it’s not wrong to want money for it. It just means you value your time and effort.

First and foremost, Amazon does advertise for you. As people buy your book it appears in the “other people also purchased” section of similar books. So long as you are serving a sub-genre faithfully, this is pretty good advertising. You are absolutely right that KDP ads are not a…[Read more]

There’s probably other people in this forum who know more than me, though.

Ah, I’m sorry about Play-Dough. 🙁

What time period do I write in? So many. 🙂 I have completed a first draft for one in early A.D.(ish) (Israel); one in the late 1700s (California); 1940s(ish) Europe/Africa/Asia; and one during the time of the judges in the Bible (Israel).

Welcome to StoryEmbers!

I joined SE about two months ago, and it’s been awesome. If you have any questions, or if it’s a little crazy don’t hesitate to ask. (:

I write in almost every genre, but I lean toward Historical Fiction the most.

Digs are amazing! I have a black standard poodle named Ericka. What’s your dog’s name?

Hey Rebekah!  I’m Ella.  I joined about a month ago, if I’m remembering correctly, which I’m probably not.  It feels like a month, though. 😉
