tho I am a tad confused what u meant by losing a line at the end??

@power

Whoa….

Ok so I honestly….don’t rlly get any of that but when you said everything evened out except a few things actual technical poem wise, I’m like….

What…? I…didn’t even try honestly but that makes me so happy! THANK YOU SO MUCH BECAUSE NOW I’M GOING TO GO AND MAKE IT PURPOSEFULLY RIGHT 😂 cuz it pretty much already is!

ahhh…[Read more]

@koshka @elishavet-pidyon @keilah-h

So to answer some questions it is in paragraph form in the book. The way it posted is pretty much how it is in the draft as of rn.

It is for the Cirque book!

Spotlight and clown are in there because it is in the Cirque book. Hope that sheds some light!

I’m not rlly sure about meters or stanzas or anything. I…[Read more]

I suppose Natalia is sort of that entire known world, but for some reason it seemed to me more like a kingdom in a wild, unknown land.

I wonder if there’s a thing on here for Antagonist development. Or maybe we should start a new one.

Uniqueness… That may turn out to be a struggle, especially as I’m not entirely…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Ooo, I like that last bit.

I can’t exactly see the rhyme and meter as the stanzas are written together in paragraph form, but what I could I enjoyed. Would you mind reposting it in verses (If it was written as such)?

@trahia-the-minstrel

Yay! That’s great! Your website looks so pretty. You did a great job designing it!

@trahia-the-minstrel Ahh girl that’s SO exciting!! Congratulations! The site looks great, it seems like you’ve put a lot of work into making it so nice. I’ll definitely be signing up for your newsletter! I’m so excited to hear more about all your artistic work!

@kathleenramm

I’d have to say my Mom is the biggest influence on my writing. She’s a writer herself, and even just knowing that she was working on her story inspired me to do it.

I wrote a lot of early stories for my aunt, uncle, and two cousins; they are absolutely the most encouraging people you’ll ever meet (especially my aunt), and I wrote…[Read more]

@karissa-chmil

Eeeeeek! I love Mark of the Lion! It’s one of my favourite book series of all time, now, because of the ending of book 2. That ending … Ah.

I went around for 3 hours after with heartburn ranting about how amazing that ending was to anyone who’d listen.

But yes, I did notice the head-hopping myself, and found it really jarri…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Bonifer is worse than everybody. He’s like… the worst villain. EVER. That I’ve read about at least. There could be more evil or dark villains out there… but Bonifer is just so well-written for a villain. Andrew Peterson did a great job creating him.

@elishavet-pidyon

Ambition, bitterness, and pride… Those are pretty good traits…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Exactly! Long, deep conversations are my favorite, but it’s often hard to find people to have them with (or specific topics for discussion, lol). God has really blessed me with the friends I can have those conversations with, whether those discussions happen often or only on occasion.

@power

That’s really cool!

Of course, putting you into the world to pretty cool, but letting you naturally fall into stories in your own way instead of forcing you is also really cool.

Was there a particular audiobook that you found that made you interested in listening to more?

@lavenderbookling

All of your inspirations from friends to…[Read more]

@koshka

Good point. I mean, Natalia is pretty much the whole world in the Green Ember, so Garten kind of did ruin the world… but Bonifer kidnapped a baby and lied to the baby’s mother. So that’s pretty bad.

Antagonists… They can be so difficult. We don’t want them to just seem like the same old bad guy from cartoons or whatever. They have to…[Read more]

@annabelle

*Grimaces*

Bonnifer certainly did more damage. Hmm, maybe that should be taken as a warning; Garten betrayed his king and broke a kingdom, Bonnifer twisted a child and shattered a world.

*Sigh* My antagonists are either vague or already dead. They need work, but as I’m not sure who several of them are…

@koshka

Ugh, Fangs. They’re disgusting.

Bonifer is worse than Garten, in my opinion at least! Garten was pretty bad though… I agree, Bonifer is well written. I need to use some techniques Andrew Peterson used for him on my villains. My antagonist always seems kind of dry.

Bonnifer is as bad a Garten Longtreader, if not worse… He is well written though.

@annabelle

Slarb… Slarb… Yes, that sounds right. Not him either, the grotesque poltroon. Fangs are just horrible, I suppose.

@lana-blanchard

I never really thought of it as beautiful, just home.

Yep. XD

Snow is good, as long as you don’t have to travel in it and the power doesn’t go out.

I do like living here. We have strong churches and ——-. (I vehemently dislike politics)

I have never moved, but as my parents were both born in other states (to Texas folks)…[Read more]

@lana-blanchard

I live in the Piney woods of East Texas, so round topped pines and ceder (The type of evergreens that explode pollen in the spring). We don’t get much snow, and when we do it’s usually just a dusting on top of ice, and it never stays long. However, every other year or so, we get a winter storm around February. The roads, and…[Read more]
