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]

Sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought into this @rebekah-elizabeth, but I have to wonder, since the story isn’t a romance, and thus the relationship between Kimberly and Carter is, at most, a side plot, I wonder if there might be a different way to show Kimberly’s lack of trust and fear of being hurt if she commits to a relationship? You might…[Read more]

Hello, fellow writers!
My current WIP is not technically a romance, so I am sure that I seem a little out of place here, but I need some advice.
I am trying to create a romance in my story, but am having a really hard time with it. My main character, who I will name “Kimberly” for this post, struggles with feeling like she cannot commit to a…[Read more]

Inklingflame replied to the topic Hi 🙂 in the forum Contemporary Fiction Writers 5 years, 10 months ago
Hello everyone! I know my name is confusing, but you can call me Mia (inkling, or flame, or whatever). If any of y’all are in the fiction then you know they talk a ton (well more then we do 🤣) Maybe everyone here is an introvert. Anyway, I’m brand new to writing contemporary fiction, but I love the idea and I have a story idea!
I do have a qui…[Read more]

That was beautiful. You are really quite right. I have that a little bit in my book, but when you put it like that, I should use that analogy a lot more.
I fully intend to make my romance novel as appropriate as possible.
Thanks!

Well, if you look at the big picture, the Bible is the biggest romance book there is!
The entire story is pointing to when Christ marries the bride for which he died for!
I’ve never written romance novels, and i dont neccessarily plan to, but I mean, how cool is that? It starts with the bethrothed bride running away, because she hates the man…[Read more]

@josiah Thank you for the advice! I appreciate all that you do for SE members, and, though I don’t often have time to be active on the SE forum, the influence you and the other staff members have had on me over the past few months through the podcast, summit recordings, and emails has been invaluable. Thank you so much!

AWWWW!! That was so sweet! The poem at the beginning was a very beautiful and nice touch. The mother/daughter relationship… Awww…
I believe it would be best punctuation wise to cut the comma, replace it with a period, then make the h in He lowercase. Like this: “I’ve got to go,” he said into the phone. (I bolded the c…[Read more]

Thanks! I’ve never liked/been good at grammar:) It’s going to be the death of me someday! I definitely need grammar help 😂 I usually don’t get upset when I get critiques, so no worries here. I’d rather you say something then keep it to yourself anyway;)

Same here!!
Yay, I’m so glad! Thank you SO much for letting me read it! It was wonderful.

@mischievous-thwapling  (🤞I Hope this works)
Hey Everybody!
I wrote this story for my Mother’s birthday.  I would LOVE and critiques, criticisms, comments, or snide remarks (I know I messed up the alliteration;) you have. 😁  I have a poem introducing (for lack of a better word) my story, because…well why not! 😆 Anyway, here is the story:…[Read more] -

Your question made me laugh. Is it ever sensible? Probably not… Unless you are using it to woo someone. I think it’s sensible for a guy to use a bit of romance when proposing, otherwise, the girl might just say no. (depending on the girl I suppose) But in most cases, it’s probably likely to set your heart way ahead of your head. I guess, as I…[Read more]
