The Inkspiller

@the-inkspiller, interesting. 🙂 Your story sounds really fun, oh, and also the characters!

@karthmin your story sounds fascinating! The themes do seem like they would be a lot to cover in just ten pages, but I imagine it’s going to be exciting as a longer story as well 😀 And yeah…stories are really pesky when we plan the themes but those themes change during the actual writing stage 😛

@the-inkspiller glad to have you here! The…[Read more]

Happy Monday, Ereki 😀 Did you complete your goals for last week? What are your new ones? Mine are:

– Polish my short story

– Tweak my novel’s outline so I can begin edits

– Maybe write an article

It is A-OK to write dark stories. I find that dark stories can very effectively point out the ills in the world that other people ignore. Some Christian writers do sugarcoat their works (which is perfectly fine), but the real world isn’t all hunky-dory. There is so much evil in this world and in our own hearts too. I feel like…[Read more]

@the-inkspiller, and I don’t even know Greek! Isn’t it a great feeling when someone gets an obscure reference you make?

Do finish the Chesterton anthology (which is it?). And tell me what you think, if you remember. He’s one of my favourite authours.

@the-inkspiller Wow your life sounds busy! (And good luck with your girlfriend! That’s really exciting!! 🙂 )

I’ve read the Inheritance Cycle too and enjoyed it. I also really enjoy Shakespeare, (Macbeth is amazing and I also really like Twelfth Night) but I am not a fan of Mark Twain – especially Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court. :)…[Read more]

Hi @the-inkspiller! Welcome to Story Embers! (I love your profile name by the way. 🙂 )

I’m Evelyn and some of my story turn out pretty dark too. I try to use it though to contrast great light. Like @northerner mentioned stories don’t have to have explicitly the Christian gospel tacked on at the end but through darkness and how the characters…[Read more]

@The-inkspiller I’m glad I could help! Also, out of curiosity. . . Kyreleis. . . where does her name come from? Because it looks a lot like it could be a contraction of Kyrie Eleison, which given what you wrote about her in the first post is very interesting. Or just an accident?

And good luck with having to end up writing a very different story…[Read more]

Welcome, @the-inkspiller! You like some interesting genres. Hmm. You offered help to critique others’ work. I could use some of that.

@The-inkspiller ooh, another hist-fic writer, nice! What periods do you gravitate toward? And combining historical and science fiction could be awesome. I don’t have a head for science, myself, but I admire people who not only understand it but can make it enjoyable to read about. I suppose everyone read the Ender’s Game series before I did…[Read more]

@the-inkspiller, welcome to Story Embers!

I write all types of stuff, I don’t have a particular genre I write in. Though I do really like fantasy, because I can make up my own world. I used to write sci-fi more… but whatever! Characters are also fun to come up with. Then you can create your plants, animals, and all the different materials of…[Read more]

Welcome to the embers of light! 🙂 My name is Wordsmith (or at least that’s what they call me). As you have asked for hugs… Here is a hug *sends hug*.
