@abrielle Nice to meet you!
Great question haha! I need to write up an actual synopsis at some point… It’s set in the medieval era, and it follows this lady who’s a midwife in this little town, who comes across a runaway boy who says he’s being followed. As the story progresses, we find connections between the lord of the land, slave traders,…[Read more]

Abrielle replied to the topic What is literary fiction? Is anyone writing it? in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 9 months ago
I’d never heard of literary fiction before, but the definition I found on the web says that it is character driven instead of plot driven, which sounds so cool! I recently wrote something that was kind of like that (although it was also kind of sci-fi) and I’d love to write more in that genre. Have you got something you’re working on…[Read more]

Tenshi Chispa replied to the topic Is opera art? in the forum Art Discussions 3 years, 9 months ago
I think this is supposed to be visual art… but opera has a visual element to it. We just call it 4D (time-based) art. Besides, painting & drawing are often involved in the planning & set-up.
I haven’t seen an opera show before, but I used to go to local plays & musicals. I may not have a lot of experience, but I enjoy the art c…[Read more]

Thank you, Jess! (@toljamedia)
That is very encouraging. I am becoming increasingly alarmed by the serious attention given to the “transhumanism” movement that is taking over our youth cultures who are abandoning faith and moral and foundational traditions that have stabilized communities. These “self-defined progressives” are instead becoming…[Read more]

Rose replied to the topic I'm so excited to be here in the forum Introduce Yourself 3 years, 9 months ago
Right now I’m writing science fiction, about a disaster on a tiny, remote research planet. It leans toward a lot of Western tropes as well. I talk about it more here, and in my profile.
That premise sounds absolutely fabulous, I love smaller-scale sci-fi, but it’s hard to find!
I know most people don’t like to work this way, but I cann…

Rose replied to the topic Soft Science Fiction – Maybe? in the forum Sci-fi Writers 3 years, 9 months ago
So, I don’t have much/any advice on the publishing front, but I just had to pop in and comment!
I want to be able to talk about God like its 1880s Kansas, but with the sense of yearning and progress that space provides. I have an agricultural research planet run by an interstellar version of NASA. The rest of the plot is just dealing…

Hi Jessie! I’m Rose, I’m so glad you’re here!!
I have a terrible, life-long track record of not finishing things. That is my biggest goal for joining a like-minded writing community: just get through a first draft and complete the major edits.
Then you’re at the right place! Story Embers is full of fabulous folks so there are plenty…[Read more]

Hey Jessie, I’m Noah, glad to have you on SE! If you’re seeking solid advice or encouragement, this is a good place to get it. 🙂
I have been so bogged down lately by the state of the secular publishing industry… it’s a dark place, friends. Like the rest of the world, no one knows up from down anymore.
I know exactly what you mea…[Read more]

@toljamedia Hi Jessie! I’m Emily, and I live in the Midwest, too! And incidentally, I also have difficulty finishing things. I will finish writing, but it takes forever. So! Do you have a current WIP (Work in Progress)? What’s the storyline?
I have…well, one officially. But I hope to start another soon, and I have three others that I’ve…[Read more]
