Thank you so much, I’ve worked hard on this.

I’ve been working on the series by myself for over four years now. I took a little break, and I’m taking it slowly, so I can put a lot of effort into them. They’re not too long, only abt 55k to 60k words so far. I love the way it’s going in growth. And am happy with how it’s turning out.…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Thank you!

@calidris

Ravens are beautiful. Lol, I didn’t know that abt them.

Huh, I actually didn’t realize that. It just helps me think to be in odd positions.

The staff is a working progress. Currently, I’ve decided one of my characters, a side character, but crucial to the story, kinda like Han Solo(idk if you’ve seen Star Wars), will steal the staff…[Read more]

And this is a staff sketch from my book months ago, still working out the details of it, try and ignore my sloppy notes and handwriting, lol.

This is a lion that I did with watercolor upside down a little while ago(don’t ask)

@calidris

I like your pfp. I’ve tried doing white highlights before like that, but can never seem to get it just right.

I struggled with hands for a while, especially since I didn’t draw people all that much, but one day I found the perfect irl lighting, and I sat down, and drew the shadow of my right hand on paper, and that kinda helped me to…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Good topic. I like yours. You have some good sounding tense stakes.

Stakes you say? So the current book I’m working on is bk three in a series.

Book one, my character’s decisions revolved around loosing friends and finding family, or fighting for friends and postponing the search for family. Pretty basic.

Book two, the mc’s…[Read more]

That’s really nice of the girl. I’m expecting a laptop in November, and it is exiting 😀 I have done a few rough digital sketches, but after getting hallway through, I realized its hard to do digital art with an art pad hooked up to my family’s early 2000’s model pc system. So Imma stick to traditional until I get an ipad or Laptop.

My…[Read more]

@calidris

These are so prreeetttyyyy

I haven’t seen an art style like yours in a while. I love the sharp lines.

You said you do colored pencil? Do you use any other types of art, eh, uTiLitiES(Idk what they’re called)? Have you ever tried digital art before?

I love to paint, and I do love me some watercolor, but I’m never bold enough to try…[Read more]

@calidris

Lol. I don’t think that’s too embarrassing. When I was like, nine, I “saved” a bird by chasing it across the street, into my neighbor’s yard, through a fence, and into tomato bushes, finally capturing it and returning that little baby ROBIN to a MORNING DOVE’S nest. It didn’t thank me.

I will watch Haikyu a shot, when my schedule is…[Read more]

@calidris

Hullo! Welcome!

You like birds? This is great. Have you ever saved a bird? But also,

ANIME. So I’m not a weeb or anything, but I do love certain anime. I have heard of Haikyuu!! and would watch it but rn I’m in the middle of a few other animes, Just wanted to ask(i know you haven’t seen a lot of anime) but have you heard of Violet…[Read more]

@elfwing

This was interesting. I loved it. Well written, I had a good idea of the scene and the atmosphere, and even while knowing not much abt your characters, I had a good idea of their personalities. One thing that I think would be helpful here would be (like scoutfinch suggested) a dip into emotion regarding Kaunon. Maybe show a bit more of…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Okay, so I was originally gonna say I pants things, but then as I thought abt it, I realized that I legit plan nearly everything in my life. As I’m falling asleep at night, I usually dream abt two things. One, fiction, and two, the upcoming day and the events in it.

I find myself sympathizing with seekjustice and morgan on this…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

Wow! this is so cool! I wanna read your book now, lol.

I love it, great job.

@joy-caroline

Absolutely. You’re welcome! Glad I could be helpful.

@joy-caroline

So what I’m catching here is that you want readers to sympathize with this Keziah. She’s a good person at heart, but is conflicted with the anger and grief that Paul has caused her. If this is what you’re going for, maybe try adding a clip of her, say, helping the needy(I understand there were quite a few of these back in Paul’s…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

This is a good question. So I find that I fall out of writing or lose my love for it when my life seems to be going well. Or, I should say, when my emotions are in check. My love for writing has come to depend on my emotions, and the emotions of my family. I was in a dark place two years ago, and so was my family. We were all…[Read more]
