Dear Mythic Scribes staff,
I´m gearing up to share a short fantasy/horror story, but I´m hesitating due to content. Is there a way to warn readers of strong adult content, or lock younger members out? I have read the forum & site rules and I feel I´m on very shaky ground and perhaps this forum...
Hi shadeZ. My 2 cents:
Your protagonists sounds like fairly cool people. You got Robin who is a hard-ass but all about forgiveness kindness etc, and you got Adner who, let's face it, owes him a solid (regardless of his reasons). On the face of it they should, it seems to me, at minimum agree to...
I´d guess this is original skip.knox material? I like it very much. Here are my musings on your 10 syllables:

Hello, I´d like to share a resource that was useful for me in my music productions days, but has universal artistic and creative value.

Hi LCatala and thanks for the welcome! The monomyth is the tip of the iceberg and yes I agree, it is a well explored mine. He makes excellent observations about how we perceive metaphor and how stories connect with the people of its time that really made me think, and it has been a great ride to...
Hi Skip.Knox, and thanks for the welcome! I´ve not submitted yet, but I think this is the place. Am going to familiarize myself a little first - I was on another forum for a while that started well but ended up giving me the heeby-jeebies.
Hello internet people. Hope you´re having a weird and interesting day.
I´m a new guy dipping my toes into the writing world after getting a lot of encouragement from family and friends who like the stories I make up. I´m almost ready with one short story drafted and a 2nd one on the way.
