    blog Faith-Based Fantasy

    I began writing in childhood, long before becoming a Christian. When I did become a Chrisitan, I found my writing full of things that made me cringe before the eyes of Jesus. I destroyed much of what I wrote because it was based in paganism (my pre-Christian beliefs). Since then I have found...

    Great story idea but don't know if I should continue writing so I need help

    This is a great direction to take your world building in. What you've described, however, does not sound like a story. It sounds like a context for a story.

    blog It Was a Woman’s World, Too: Ching Shih

    I have to confess I'm a little disturbed by seeing the phrase "adopted-son and lover" in the same sentence. Is there anyway you could elaborate? Cause, honestly, I'm picturing a little kid with a couple of sexual predators. Very disturbing image. That being said, I know it was custom in some...
