The author of this poem, who at the moment is doing the dishes and thus can’t access her phone, has requested I tag a few people to look over this. (I think that’s what she said.)

Elanor started the topic How do I make a non-cliche escape scene? in the forum Plotting 3 years ago
So a person escapes the bad guys. This is a characteristic of most every book I’ve read. I’m writing a prison escape in my current WIP and am wondering how to make it something that’s not just the same old thing.
Any tips and or advice would be gladly appreciated.
I’ll tag a bunch of people.

Faith Q. started the topic When is it okay to defy the government? in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 3 years ago
Okay, y’all, I’ve got a dilemma on my hands.
To give you a bit of background information, my main character (Emeric Dertok) has recently come back into society after eight years of living the life of a hermit. He’s working for the King (Jornan), who charged him with the task of tracking down spies trying to sabotage the government. But as enters…[Read more]

I’ll tell you as soon as the first draft is beta ready, and I will be needing help along the way. Thank you!
Exactly. Sometimes I want to smash the computer.
Ok, I will rephrase that. Thank you! (I enjoyed writing that part. The epilogue is vaguely based off of the book And God Was There.)
Oh good! I love writing transliterated…[Read more]

you didn’t have to cross the “better than a comedian” part out. I’ll take that compliment proudly.
Thanks for the story, the yoda quote, and tips. But honestly, time isn’t my problem. I have several hours of free time a day where I just lay down and stare up at the sky and contemplate my life and daydream about what could have…[Read more]

Okay. I’m going back to the gym now. This was way too much nerdy book stuff for one day.
IT’S LEG DAY BABY LEZZ GOOOO!

Thank you so much! I don’t have anyone much beyond my family to go over my writing, so although I know it has flaws I have trouble pinpointing them.
Oh my, description (in any form) is one of the things I struggle with the most. I love crafting scenes in my head, but they rarely work out on paper. Thank you, I needed that.
Yes, there…[Read more]

Elishavet Elroi replied to the topic Characteristic Lines in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years ago
Those are great, I especially like the first and last one. I second Lydia about Mejia.
Hmm. Did you like what you read of Archer’s Cup? I will admit it wasn’t my favorite, but it’s hard to not have a book of less quality in a series. And his books are SO good. They’ve done what only two other books have, and to a greater…[Read more]

Lydia S. replied to the topic Characteristic Lines in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years ago
Aww, thank you! I’m so glad you like her. 😀 She’s a ton of fun to write for.
Love the lines!!! Mejia sounds like someone I’d like. 😉

@abigail-m Wow!!! I wasn’t expecting such enthusiasm about my blog! Good to know you enjoy it!
I’m planning to do another charrie flaw post soon, it just takes time to think of them XD

Have you ever heard of Simon Khorolskiy? If you like good Russian worship music most of what I’ve heard of his I recommend.

Koshka replied to the topic This is Koshka, and these are her books in the forum Start HERE 3 years ago
Is there any particular wolf biography you would recommend? Wolves are such beautiful creatures, it is sad when they are usually viewed as evil. That was one reason I wanted to write about them. This does help with the theme for this series; it doesn’t matter who you are, what you had done, or where you’ve been, you choose what heart…[Read more]

This is all first draft, so… you know. Feedback more than welcome.
Note: The epilogue takes place in a world war almost a thousand years later.
Prologue
The sun was sinking, weary with winter. Moonlight was already dancing with the falling snow. A lonesome voice joined winds in song, then fell away. The stars hid, buried deep in…[Read more] -

Jodi Maile replied to the topic When you don't like the direction of your story… in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years ago
@abigail-m Hey and welcome back! Thanks for replying! I’m so glad this is such a relatable issue, since I tend to struggle with it a lot. Especially recently, I’ve realized more and more that you should just write what needs to be written, even when you feel like you should be adding other things. Trying to add in themes just kills my writing, so…[Read more]

Oh, and I’m thrilled you are using 9th century Russia! Most goof Medieval fantasy I’ve read is based in later centuries when there is so much left in earlier times.

Koshka replied to the topic This is Koshka, and these are her books in the forum Start HERE 3 years ago
Um, I’m not sure what you mean by biographies, but I don’t think so. Most of what I know has come from old textbooks, pictures, and conversations. Most of the fictional books I’ve read that include some type of wolf usually equate them with something bad. Or maybe I just haven’t read many books with wolf characters.
Thank you! I try…[Read more]

@abigail-m Thanks so much!!! I’m so excited I did it! I don’t have a big audience, but just posting stuff for people to read has skyrocketed my confidence and I feel more relaxed than I ever have! I am no longer scared out of my skin of sharing things and even being around people in general isn’t so scary.
