• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

How do you keep on it?

This is what I do when I get stuck: Get out of your normal writing place. Let your brain refresh. Change the lighting, smell, and sound of where you are writing. For Ex: Try writing with the lights dimmed, or having candles in the room that give you a smell. Music, I can not tell you how much music can help you get out of ruts. Listen to differnt kinds of music, not music you like, but music that will help create a mode. Just remeber to never give up on your writing, even if your mind is telling you know at the time, save it for a later date. I have been stuck many times, and left it alone, only to find it a couple years later, and have a fresh new twist for it. Hope this helps...

Oh. Well, don't stress it. The whole reason I've barely started on my story is because I keep worrying about how good it is--and trying to balance background and whatnot.
Just let the background evolve with the characters. I was writing for months on this one piece and didn't realize that my character had a baby brother. It was natural and just slid right into the text.
