Now we introduce them 🙂
Mayra reached the door at the end of the corridor. She listened to the voices coming from the other side, her hand raised over the door knob. Whatever was going to happen, whoever was in this room, she needed to be ready to prepare for the worst.
She pushed the door open. It swung aside slowly,…[Read more]

I don’t know if images still work in these forms, but I thought you both might enjoy a photo of the inside of the Basílica de la La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. My wife and I visited it in 2017 during an international trademark convention.

Cathy and Neasa,
Did you not know Dean Koontz is Catholic? In fact, his novel in the Odd Thomas series called “Brother Odd” takes place entirely in a Catholic monastery.
Raymond Arroyo is also a Catholic author, besides being a journalist, and has written a YA adventure (Will Wilder) series on…[Read more]

Whoa! Yay! You’re the first fellow Catholic I’ve meet here too! Who’s your favorite saint? Have you been confirmed yet? How did you find a spiritual director, if you don’t mind my asking? XD
Really? Wow, I’m very privileged to be the first Catholic writer you interacted with here. I have always wanted to meet a fellow Catholi…[Read more]

Hi Cathy,
Ha! I have those jugglers and scissor-bearers running through my house too.
To your question:
The two in the prologue are supernatural villains each in a kind of form. One is massive. A creature that is not often seen, but moves underground, digging furiously often at the approximate speed of a freight…[Read more]

Hello! Nice to meet you!=====================≈==========
You’re very welcome!
I’m working on my mystery series first. The synopsis is still a work in progress. I have a protagonist and a world dressed up with nowhere to go. I’m still thinking of a plot. I have a theme though.
It’s the same with my other W…[Read more]

Hi Cathy,
I did post the Scene 2 follow-up to the first scene you reviewed. Just curious what you thought about it.
Were you able to get a new laptop?I tend to label each scene with a title, so this one is called “A Meeting of Monsters” and I believe you will hear more of an active voice as well as me “altering my…[Read more]

LOL Liorah actually stopped screaming to pet the dog! Ferran seems to be a very good influence XD
LOL! ‘Shut up, pet the dog’ is a fairly dependable technique to calm Liorah down XD
Sorry it was so long. And the writing is pretty bad.

Yeah, I myself don’t really know what the Rissians did or what exactly Resolve is. I really just wrote this on the spur of the moment after getting the word “Resolve” in my head. And so I got this sarcastic main character and really interesting first person present tense. Usually that drives me nuts, but I think it’s…[Read more]

Sparrow,
This is very good, though. Each scene should leave a reader with enough questions to entice them to read on for the answers in prior or following scenes.
Even your excerpt does that, and it begs to be a larger story, and that is exactly what needs to happen.
While isolating a single scene like we both did on Audio Cinema may seem a bit…[Read more]-
Pulling this out of my files has definitely made me want to get back to it! The writing came (comparatively) easily to me. I love Malar’s voice and it is shaping up to be the kind of story I want to read.

Thank you, Cathy!
When I was two years old my left eye was injured. We were attending a sunrise Easter service and some of the youth group kids wanted to take me hiking with them in the hills. One kid was carrying me on their shoulders and pushed a mesquite tree branch back to go under and past the tree. The limb came lo…[Read more]

I actually have a question seeing as you’re well informed. How do you respond to someone who says that ‘oh communism is a great idea, it’s just never been done right.’ I’m getting that a lot, and I just really want an answer that will shut people up to be honest lol

Okay, here’s the introductions!

Hello 🙂 Hope you’re all well. I’ll just pop in here with my character.
