• 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

1) When you hear the word childhood, what's the first thing you remember? Describe sights, scents, sounds, etc. How does it make you feel?

2) If you had a child, what would you name it? Why - what association does the name have for you? Do you want your child to have those qualities?

3) You are sitting under a tree outside. What do you see?

There are some good ideas here .... also another thing may be to look up something random in an encyclopedia... sometimes that jogs my inspiration...because if I can think of a good place and time to set my story, the story writes itself.

Try working backwards. Start with the end and work towards the begining. You get some interesting stories that way and it's fun. Just make sure you don't bring something out of nowhere.

Like the guy (Ben Afflack sp?) from Paycheck

Here's a short story opener that I'm not going to use, so you can take it.

Death bound the strongest men and made them scream words of fear that they lonely felt creeping down there spines. Can you ever feel the pain we felt? Can you ever see the things we saw? Will you ever half to face the destiny that we faced on the day they say will live in infamy?
