Welcome to the guild @therealameliahoch and @e_elaine_soup5! 🙂
@brandon-miller Thank you for that insightful beta reader post! I was lucky enough to find a good handful of beta readers who have done a wonderful job helping me polish up and further develop my novel! I still find myself drafting my work over and over again and I feel kind of…[Read more]

@therealameliahoch and @e_elaine_soup5 We haven’t met yet. So hi!
@brandon-miller I’ve never thought about having beta readers before.(mainly because I’m not really at that point yet.) I have posted a (super) short story or Flickr and asked for critique, but they mostly gave polite assurance that it was “good”.¯_(ツ)_/¯
Also, I can’t imagi…[Read more]

Deep in the corner, a figure shuffles through the settled blackness. Dust kicks up under his feet and he starts *cough* to *hack* cough. Oh hey, said “dark figure” is me and said dark room is this little place where we come to learn.
I apologize.
BUT, I also have good news, the Guildmasters have been working together and have decided to share…[Read more]

*sigh* Whew, that took awhile! Basically, I copied and pasted everything from my Word doc to Google doc, and it took FOREVER to get everything reformatted. But it’s done now.
Here are the first eight chapters!! I’ll keep posting chapters as I write them on…[Read more]

@evelyn @therealameliahoch Alrighty, then! That’s two down, at least three more to go!

@therealameliahoch I LOVE THE BOOKS OF THE INFINITE! I don’t think I’ve ever found anyone else who loves them, though, until now! 😀
@r-m-archer I know exactly which scene you’re talking about 😛 it kinda ruined the book for me, tbh. Also, LUNAR CHRONICLES!!
@myclipboardismyviolin As for my own recommendations, I would highly recommend Karen…[Read more]

Hi @therealameliahoch. We’ve already talked in my own intro thread, but I do also like Embroidery and fantasy/sci-fi. 🙂
I’m sorry to hear about the illnesses and do hope that your depression fades as you continue in your walk with the Lord. You may be interested to know that my mother has actually made afghans – in fact that’s her knitting thing…[Read more]

@therealameliahoch, Oh, cool! I’m definitely an outliner. Whenever I try to just write my story, I get the first few paragraphs down and then I’m like, “I have no idea where to go from here.” 😛
Aw, thank you! All glory definitely goes to God! Yeah, acrylics are my favorite to paint with, but I enjoy drawing more than painting. What kind of 3D…[Read more]

@therealameliahoch, I’ve never seen Agents of Sheild before. It looks interesting though.
That sounds like a cool story! I have a story like that too, where I based it off of a dream I had, but I haven’t worked on it in a while. Are you outlining your story before you write it, or do you do better just jumping right in?
I’m currently only…[Read more]

@therealameliahoch, Hey Amelia! I’m kind of late, but welcome to Story Embers.
That’s cool that you enjoy doing make-up. I’ve always thought that it would be neat to be a make-up artist for a movie or something, although I never wear make-up myself. 🙂
That’s great that you have a writing project that you’re excited about! 😀 What is it about?…[Read more]

Alright, I added you. 🙂

Yes, lol! 🙂
Really? That is interesting…I can see that happening.
Awesome! I will add you to the chat, as well. And let you know when the chapters are finished…

@therealameliahoch Oh cool! I’ve only ever read one Francine Rivers book, which was The Last Sin-Eater. I had actually watched the play adaption first when I was eight or so, but didn’t understand any of it. 😛 But then I read it about a year ago and really liked it! A very good book! 🙂

Selah replied to the topic Salutations! in the forum Introduce Yourself 7 years, 6 months ago
Aww, you are so thoughtful! Like I said, I am not good at summaries like that. 🙂
Hmm, I guess I have not thought of that happening. In the case of this WIP (work-in-progress), the plot is so crazy and unusual, I don’t think that would be an issue. Are you?
Would you like me to add you to my Google chat for my beta readers? I…[Read more]

Oh, that is SO awesome! What better companion? I can so relate to that.
This is a short summary of sorts that I wrote recently on my current WIP that I have several chapters finished with…just realize, please, that I am terrible at writing summaries! Grr…

@therealameliahoch Cool! I like to read Fantasy and Sci-fi too! Though I like a really some classics and contemporary too. Just as long as a book is a good book, I’ll love it. 😉
As for writing, I usually stick to fantasy and contemporary, and then poetry.
If you had to pick a favorite book (or two or three haha) what would they be?

Hello, Amelia, and welcome to Story Embers!
I can identify with the many health issues…our family lived in a black-moldy house for 9 months, and have dealt with a lot of severe issues since then, for the last 9 years. It is rough, but it also shows the power of God! I am grateful for the many things I have learned because of…[Read more]

@therealameliahoch XD I’m the same way with ice, come to think of it! At least water is easier on the teeth.

@therealameliahoch So what kind of things do you like to read? What do you like to write?

Welcome to Story Embers, @therealameliahoch!! I hope you enjoy your time here!
I myself have ASD as well as pagophagia. So maybe we can find at least a little common ground. Depends on your perspective.
Do you know your MBTI type?
