Hello to a fellow Sonic the Hedgehog fan! I love the StH comics and am currently going through the Archie series (on issue 145 right now). It’s nice to meet you. 🙂

I found Story Embers while researching worldbuilding for my current WIP and was thrilled to find I was on a Christian writers website.

My favorite Genre to write in is…[Read more]

Tony Stark is an interesting character. Iron Man, much like Superman, suffers the “overpowered” syndrome of superheroes. Clark Kent is much more interesting than Superman is (though Superman is far from my favorite superhero). They simply don’t have enough weaknesses to make compelling stories.

@selah-chelyah

Ahh, Ok. That makes sense. I usually write in third limited. I was imagining giving all those characters page time in third limited and that seemed a bit overwhelming. I’d be willing to read what you have so far if you want. 🙂

@ariella-newheart

I agree. Google Docs is great. I’ll look for your message.

@ariella-newheart

Awesome. I use Google Docs pretty heavily for my writing (which is also nice for sharing so people can add comments or make suggestions on the work). What’s your email address and I can share out the story? The story is called Dragon’s Blood.

@selah-chelyah

Your WIP sounds pretty interesting. Do each of those main characters get a POV in your book?

I don’t have a name for my current WIP, just a place holder name. I’ll figure out that name at some point though.

@ariella-newheart

Correction. The story I mentioned in my last post is a Novelette, not a Novella. Sorry about that.

@selah-chelyah

Nice to meet you!

I am currently working on an epic fantasy novel. Here is the WIP pitch.

“While searching for a special kind of energy stone used as a resource for her city, a woman finds an ancient seal on a dark prison which holds an evil force.

Thinking it is a new kind of energy stone, she accidentally breaks the seal w…[Read more]

Fawkes looks like it blends Historical Fiction and Fantasy elements which sounds pretty cool. I also like the fact the author puts the main character in a dilemma of choices. I may have to check it out. 🙂

@evelyn

I agree. Heath Ledger’s Joke is really creepy, he did such a good job. I was saddened when I heard the news of what happened to him right before that movie came out.

I don’t know if I have a favorite soundtrack for epic fantasy, but most of those you mentioned I’ve listened to and like. I usually go on youtube and find a good 1 to 3 hour…[Read more]

@shadowwriter161

Welcome and glad to meet you.

Fantasy is a fun genre and can have really deep storytelling. As for tips on developing magic systems… I’m not sure how much I can help at this point. That is one of my weaker points that I am still trying to figure out. However, Brandon Sanderson has some laws of magic he developed that may be…[Read more]

Hello, Ari! It’s nice to meet you.

The first HTTYD movie was definitely my favorite. Honestly, at the end, when it shows Hiccup and Toothless walking out of Hiccup’s house and both Toothless’ lost tail fin and Hiccup’s lost foot are on the same side it brought tears to my eyes.

Yeah, inner critics can be brutal. It’s like your…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen

Nice to meet you. 🙂

The Reckoners series (Steelheart, Firefight, and Calamity) is a really good series (honestly, I like most of Sanderson’s works). If you love fantasy, I’d highly recommend the original Mistborn Trilogy (Books 1 through 3) as a good starting point for Sanderson’s fantasy works (though The Way of Kings is a…[Read more]

@kayla-skywriter

Nice to meet you, too!

Although he is not a Marvel superhero, Batman is my Favorite superhero, particular the Batman from the Christopher Nolan films. However, my favorite Marvel superhero would have to be Spiderman. I love the fact that he is a down-to-earth everyman character while also being a superhero. His stories are often…[Read more]

Hi, Buddy! Nice to meet you.

You raise some very good questions.

My story ideas tend to come in as plot ideas and as such, I feel I am a fairly good plotter, though even here I feel like I need to improve.

I generally know what themes my books are about either before I start writing or shortly thereafter.

I think I am average on creating…[Read more]
