Oof yeah, I haven’t been as active on here. Like at all. 

Hahah that’ literally my family xD

Ooh that’s so cool!!

@keilah-h

Yes, I definitely remember that conversation. It was great! Okay, “Ornery, fierce black rabbit with crazy fighting tactics” is the only way that I will describe Helmer from now on. That’s perfect. I guess he’s kind of like Hunter and Crosshair smushed together maybe? Idk.

There are so many people. My mom (encouraging me to read, allowing me to pursue writing for a good chunk of my homeschooling, critiquing my work over the years, etc.), my dad (he has a book started that I’m excited to read one day, he got me started reading fantasy, he’s also helped edit my work from time to time, etc.), my writing groups…[Read more]

Oh nvm I just saw that their next enrollment period is in May 🤪

@trahia-the-minstrel

Of course!

Yeah, they open registration I think twice a year. They had it open in January, so that’s when I joined. YWW is a lot like KP, but bigger and it’s like $40 a month. So, expensive, but worth it. I highly, HIGHLY recommend it. I think registration is opening again in August, and if you go to their website, I think…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel, @elishavet-pidyon

I COMPLETELY agree with you guys about Bonifer. He’s worse than Gnag himself! He RAISED Gnag! He always makes me so angry too! I mean, he betrayed all of Aerwiar. I never forgave him after I found out.

I kind of forgot about Weaver. He was pretty bad too.

@koshka, I think that Fang’s name was Slarb. And…[Read more]

I don’t like Bonnifer. At all. Or Weaver. I mean, I could almost (but definitely not) prefer Oster Will. However, I don’t know which one I dislike the most.

@lana-blanchard

The most beautiful place… My family has traveled much around the US to see family, so it’s hard to decide. Or remember.

• Tacoma Narrows and the Puget Sound with the tide rushing in.
• An overlook near Snoqualmie Pass (In the winter).
• This valley in Wyoming where you can stand on one rise and look across at the mountains…

@annabelle

Just say the name ‘Bonnifer Squoon’ and I start getting real mad.

He just makes me angry cause it was all his fault everything happened. If it weren’t for him and all the horrible lies he told Gnag and his parents, the whole war wouldn’t have happened. @elishavet-pidyon thanks for reminding me how much I dislike him! I’d actually…[Read more]

@avacoulter

Thanks Ava! That means a lot!

How do you sign up to or even find information about the Young Writers Workshop? Nothing on their website is working for me, except the ‘join author conservatory’ page. I wondered if new people aren’t allowed to join right now?

@trahia-the-minstrel

OOH The Authors Conservatory is awesome!!! I’m not a part of it yet, but I’ve seriously considered and researched it, and I’m planning to apply for it my last year of high school (Lord willing).

First of all: I totally get your struggle! That’s so real and you’re definitely not alone. I just joined the Young Writers…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Okay, yeah, I understood what you were saying I guess I just communicated my understanding poorly. Janner is not Christ, just his sacrifice was something to be admired. Yeah, Janner did make a lot of mistakes… I think that’s what made him such a realistic and relatable character. Real humans make mistakes, and so did…[Read more]

@faith-q

Well, if I do join, I hope to see you there!😃 Don’t ask Brett or anyone anything yet, though — I’m working through my own concepts right now and trying to refine them😊.

Now let me be clear…model the sacrifice, not the mistakes!! Lol! Janner is not Christ, nor a mirror for Christ.

Christ was our sacrifice, and then He called us to sacrifice for others, to show them His love as He showed it to us. That’s what Janner did, allowed the Maker to use him to show the Maker’s love.

just wanted to be clear I was n…[Read more]

Wow, all of us are really not helpful today 😛 I’m actually planning on joining Author in August (Lord willing), but this is something I’ve wondered… um, I have no idea? But I’m very interested to see the answers to this! Also, I’m on the Young Writer’s Workshop, so if you want, I can ask Brett Harris or somebody on there to see the answer to…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Thanks for the motivation! Maybe I should write some Wingfeather fanfic for my next blog short story of the month… that’s a good idea. Yeah, if and when I write some, I’ll let all you guys know!

And Janner giving his life for Kalmar and all the broken sort of fulfils the plotline between Artham and Esben. If that makes any sense.

@elishavet-pidyon

Okay, I got it, and read all of it! That is so good! I’ve tried to write that scene over and over and I’ve failed every time, so that’s pretty impressive that you’re able to do that.

When I was reading the part about Artham and Kalmar unwrapping Janner’s body… I started to cry again. I’m a very emotional person xD.

I also…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Yeah, you’re right, Janner’s death really does complete the story. He is kind of like a Christ character; a person to model yourself after. Good point!

@elishavet-pidyon

I found it! But then I clicked the link and it said I don’t have access. I typed a message in the box it gave me so I can request access. I really want to read it!!!

@godlyfantasy12

Amen!
