Flashbacks are useful literary devices. They can drop hints of mystery, clues to the story, or explain secrets.

Just have a good idea of how you’re using them in the book before you dive in. I don’t know how many times I’ve started writing something only to realize half-way through that it didn’t fit with the story. So, are…[Read more]

Fairy land? A strange turn of phrase, as if there was a definite destination, as if world’s didn’t simply overlap. Moons and wind and monstrous slimy creatures came to mind. His lips twitched.

In a placid voice he he addressed the arrow head in his hand.

“I don’t suppose fairies are so particular about who bakes the…[Read more]

Ah! What a great question. Here are some thoughts:

What triggered the flash back? Memories usually have a trigger anyway, but because these are grief/trauma memories, those triggers are likely to be abrupt. They’re best if they’re comnected to the plot or character. For instance, I have a character who lost his sister at a…[Read more]

Moth deserves angel food cake at his door. He specifically requests it. XD

@whalekeeper @loopylin

Ellis is completely missing the point of Ari’s question. I apologize

No need. Ellis understood the assignment perfectly.

Ari

Ellis’s shot went wide. Ari waiting for him to start knock and draw again, then gently nudged his arm into a better position.

“Look down the shaft at the target. That will help.” He watched as E…[Read more]

*uninteligable screaming*

Careful, that’s bad for your throat. XD

@whalekeeper

thanks for being the polite one and giving the RPs. I was too amused at the moment to be responsible.

*uninteligable screaming*

Ari’s response hath chilled me bones….

@whalekeeper @loopylin

Ah, my poor little boy. Don’t worry child, you’ll be fine.

Ari

“No.” The word lept from him in a breath. His gaze went wide. Hands gripped, knuckles white.

“No. Never. It wouldn’t do any good. We will…go…just the same.”

Death. The void, as Father says. So unnatural. And if the Scroll is to be believed…

Ari

His body tensed with confused alarm at Moth’s comment.

“Archery is more by instinct than anything else. You focus on a specific point you want to hit, and then line up the arrow with that point.” He absently knocked and drew as he spoke. It whipped home as he glanced back at Moth, then at Ellis. “What is…[Read more]

I’ve written some myself. What kind of poetry do you like to write?

Ah! Another poet, I see. I tend to write stuff with a strong pattern, even if that pattern isn’t always as clear as a rhyme scheme (although I do tend to use rhyme, meter, alliteration, all those good things). It mainly just depends on the texture of the poem I…[Read more]

Wasn’t it Wolfgang’s turn???

@littlemisssunshine

Greetings and welcome! I write middle-grade fantasy, youth fiction, and a smattering of poetry. I’m also a historical clothing/culture nerd, hand-crafting enthusiast, and full-time university student (which makes it a little difficult to keep up with the other stuff, but alas. Tis my life.).

My current WIP is about a…[Read more]

Hello! So glad to meet you! (sorry this is a late response) We have been desperately needing a dark overlord in these parts.

I’m Elishavet, lover of history, stories, and beautiful things. (like perriwinkle blue evenings, Psalm 27, and hot chai) If I’m not writing an essay or a poem on dewy grass, it’s my WIP with darling…[Read more]

Currently, I mostly write nonfiction (college essays) and have just begun a rustic/high fantasy thing I’m…[Read more]

Hello to another Rilla of Ingleside fan! We’re so excited you are here too!

I’m Elishavet around here. I write a smattering of things from poetry and short stories to a YA epic that’s on the backburner. Currently, I write mostly nonfiction (college essays) and a rustic/high fantasy inspired by Norse/Irish culture, Paul’s e…[Read more]

@writingwren

Welcome to the Kingdom! I write middle-grade fantasy (currently involving way too much stained glass), poetry (occasionally penned, though rarely shared), and youth fiction (although my main project there is on the back burner so…). I’m a twin, a full-time university student, a history/culture nerd, and a hand-crafting enthusiast…[Read more]

Going to sprint for an hour to try and finish this book-by-chapter outline for Project Faerie Glass. Starting at (6):02.

@quicksilverwyvern

I have heard, but have not read.

Chocolate, however, I have consumed. The best is a ballance between dark and milk with some deied fruit or cookie bits in it. Unless it is Spanish truffles. Mmmmmm….

Have you heard of/read Christina Baehr? I have a feeling her work is a very different genre from what you are talking about,…[Read more]
