Poor Jake… :'( Love the lines, though!

 

@elishavet-pidyon

Ruben sounds like an amazing brother and an amazing character! I’m a fan already. 🙂

 

@koshka

Agh, I love the accent! Otto sounds like a fun guy. XD

 

@issawriter7

Aww, thank you so much! <3333

*chilled by first two lines* *heartbroken by the last line* I wanna give a Keenum hug… He sounds like he could use one… :'( *sniff* Agh, I love him already!!!!! XD XD

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

LOVE IT!!! XD XD XD

@elishavet-pidyon

Fantasy sounds right. If it’s more along a realistic trail like Rangers apprentice, I suppose it might be midieval fantasy.(prolly my fave genre)

How you’ve described is pretty much how I construct my book too! Usually when I’m thinking of scenes, I kind of let them roll around in my head for a bit then slap them on some paper. Advive? I’ll help any way I can!

*sighs* Character death. How you belovedly never fail to torture. Ugh them decisions.

@koshka

Ohh, German. I was blinded by old American spy movies XD

Sadly, no, I don’t know any Russian, other than what my employer’s father has spoken before, when we met. As of now, I’m learning Korean, and hammering out my English. Funny how even though I’ve spoken it all my life it still makes no sense XD

Its so cool that you’re learning Russian! How are you learning?

@Lydia-s

Aww, thanks!

Ah, English, that wonderful headache.

I’ve heard Korean is difficult. What do you think of it, and how are you learning?

I’m using Babbel, Duolingo, and a Russian preschool book.

Thank you, @lydia-s. He’s one of my best.

@anatra23

Yes, medieval fantasy sounds right. That’s exactly how I work.

And yes, I think Ruben will die, *Cue tragic music* but it depends on how the story goes. Why is it so hard to decide?!

@lydia-s

Thank you!

Yeah… Jake definitely doesn’t have it easy… but also, he kinda deserves it.

@elishavet-pidyon

I know how you feel😂! For some reason I am always tempted to kill off every character I possess at some point.

We crazy people are the normal ones.

@koshka

Oof, Korean is hard sometimes. I think I only struggle mostly with pronouncing the vowel sounds accurately… and sentence structure… and formal tones… and… you get the picture. It’s great to learn tho!
Learning is made a lot easier, since I’ve been blessed with a tutor who’s half Korean, and can speak and read it. I was nannying her kids one day, and she was like, “hey, I have a half hour lunch break in between work at twelve, if you need to learn anything for college, I’ve got some skills!”
I was like, “sure, thanks!”
Next week I came back, and she had a Korean college text book ready for me. I’ve only been learning for a few months, but it’s fun, and challenging.

Learning like that sounds hard… do you know anyone personally with Russian roots?

@elishavet-pidyon @scoutfinch180
Oh nooOooOoOOoo! Letting go of a child is always difficult.  But seriously, one night I was sitting on my bed writing and looked over at my sis, who knew very little abt my WIP and told her: “Yea, my MC gonna die by the end of the book.” and she was like, “MURDER.”
So that was traumatic.

[Elishavet Elroi]

@anatra23 @scoutfinch180

It is traumatic. I was telling my brother about my book and about Rubin, when suddenly I stopped and just said “oh no.”

He started laughing.

Since then it has been a battle of ‘why’. If his death wasn’t a pivital point in my story, he would have a good chance of surviving. As it is, I already have a song for his funeral.

@anatra23

It does sound difficult! The Russian things I struggle with the most are word form, grammer, and spelling (but I struggle with that in English too, so…).

I know a Russian lady through BQ, (She loaned me the pre-school book.) But I only see her at BQ tournaments.

Question: Was the book a Korean college book, or a college Korean book?

I understand. I was going to have a MIA, but when I couldn’t leave him gone I sacrificed his friend instead. (And now I’m having second thoughts again)

Hi, @ lydia-s !

I’m gonna jump in with lines from the favourite character in my book (he’s the best friend of one of my two protagonists):

Character name: Yusīñien Riavoné

“You can see people, M. That’s a gift. Tactics, statistics, the bigger picture … that’s what I’m good at. But you’re good at caring about individuals — all of them. That’s why you’ll make such a great king, someday.”

“Ambushes. Of course there’d be no ambushes, would there, Ségha? Because  the best spy in the army scouted ahead.”

“Besides, most worthy causes aren’t accomplished on the first try. But at least we’ve had our first try.” Yusīñien gazed across the lake. “Next time, we can use the experience we’ve gained to ensure the outcome is better.”

“Yet it could also be something that effects future generations in ways we can’t even imagine … even though we’re all but brief moments among millions, sometimes our smallest actions can tip the scales in a truly magnificent way.” A smile lit his face. “It’s quite thought-provoking to consider, wouldn’t you agree?”

“I’ll gloat all I want, thanks,” Yusīñien said, “now that I have you under my thumb. Hmm-hm. So simple, so easy …”

So, this character is a tactician and some philosophically minded. These probably don’t work out of context, but … hope you all enjoy them anyway😊

I’m just gonna tag a bunch of people: @elanor @morgan @jodi-maile @keilah-h @elishavet-pidyon @scripter-of-kingdoms

Sorry if I left anyone out!

I love your quotes and the sound of your story, @elishavet-pidyon !😊 Your story sounds interesting … I look forward to when you publish it! Also, I love that you’re writing medieval fantasy with no magic, cause that’s exactly what I’m doing too😄. And when it comes to killing off characters … I once had my little sister chase me across the lawn with a broom cause I killed off a character. Then she drew a picture and mourned him for a day. 😂 Then I’m contemplating killing off a couple of characters at the very end — and she glares at me whenever I bring it up.

Also, there is one character I’m definitely killing off that I also recorded a whole lament for😢😂.

And yours @issawriter7 !😁 Man, that first line grabbed me! And your title is really cool😉 I write YA fantasy as well, so I think that’s really cool. My book is called Dual Heirs.

Siblings: just have to love them for it.
