When I started I had a pressured...

    Writing Christian Music

    Hello all! I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping I can find an answer to my question. I'm a musician and I'm working on writing songs. The thing is that they are not necessarily 'Christian' or 'religious' songs. Some of them do have hidden meanings in them concerning my faith, but they don't...

    Looking for a writer for a Christian zombie/end times episode (possibly paid)

    Yes, that may sound strange but never fear! I'm a game/visual novel creator and I was writing something for a game jam that ends at the end of the month that I was thinking of turning episodic. Don't be frightened off by game writing. It's the same as regular writing. I already have a team...

    How Many Pages Per Chapter?

    Hi, I would like to know how many pages should each chapter have? I enjoy writing short stories and have done some in the past, but will be rewriting them as they were quite basic and only a few pages long. I'm thinking of doing six chapters per story.
