First of all, considering that you’re in the third draft, you have made a lot of progress with this WIP. And you like the opening, so that’s a good thing.

YES, I haven’t liked ANY of the opening chapters I’ve written. AT ALL. Mostly because they didn’t convey the feel for the story, characters, or world correctly. If it got one…[Read more]

I can write and edit later parts of the book, bit first chapters? Ugh. I’ve completely scrapped them…I have no idea how many times.

So someone, PLEASE have good advice!! I’ll be haunting this topic…

@pen_for_christ205

Ah, makes sense. What I love about writing in a medieval-fantasy world is being able to use all the random historical facts I collect, and yet not have to worry about being completely accurate. (I’m a bit of a history nerd)

*Squeals*

You like Chuck Black?! He’s one of my favorite authors! Which of his books/series have you…[Read more]

@hullofellowhumans

Yeah, we had to scratch our original idea, which was only about the children of the prophets and had nothing to do with time traveling. The one you’re doing/did still sounds pretty fun!

@sunny421

I like it, especially what the phrase “living out his childhood dream of being a spy”. Luke sounds like a fun character!

@sunny421

Ooo, intriguing. What sort of kingdom is this? Is the king good?

@pen_for_christ205

Welcome to the Kingdom! I write non-magical medieval-fantasy.

What do you mean by ‘middle ages’? That’s a pretty wide range of time… Is it historical fiction?

What is your WIP about? (Work In Progress)

If you could ride a dragon for a day or have a horse for life, which would you choose?

Do you like, dislike, or just…[Read more]

I just flipped back through it, and remembered what I loved most about it; it’s far more likely to mention prayer than profanity.

@freedomwriter76

THANK YOU!!!

@freedomwriter76

Oh, yikes! He’s on front lines then…

Have you ever read American Heroes: in the Fight Against Radical Islam by Oliver North? It’s amazing, although there are some instances of military language, and I don’t mean tactical terms. That’s where I first got introduced to the military medical field.

@freedomwriter76

How’d you guess? XD

YES!?!

(Poor Ezra)

Oooo…I definitely would love to beta read!

@freedomwriter76

That scene makes me want to hit someone. Hard.

And also makes me think of all the stories I’ve heard.

And seriously…will you need beta readers?

@keilah-h

Go on! Write his reaction! This is gonna be great!

@freedomwriter76

Very good! I love how you can get colors and themes to work together so well in your collages. And your story idea sounds great!

You really need to get these written so I can read them! 😉

@Koshka

That’s all right. Nice response. 🙂

@godlyfantasy12 @freedomwriter76 @keilah-h Koshka,

Who’s next?

@godlyfantasy12 @freedomwriter76 @keilah-h @elishavet-pidyon

Sorry y’all.

Mikkel

Grey tunics, mail shirts, long swords, helmets, and shields. The taller one wearing a matching grey cloak, the other’s crimson.

Who were these fellows? Two foreign soldiers, stepped out of the castle walls?

Where was he?

movement caught his attention. Another…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Okay, good!

I may add an extension, if @Koshka is taking a break.

Not that I don’t want to meet Crosshair! XD I just realized how that sounded.

@Koshka @godlyfantasy12

@freedomwriter76 @keilah-h

It may be getting a bit wild… We’ll have to see.

As for not being on late at night, that’s okay. I shouldn’t be on late. 😉

ARE WE MEETING CROSSHAIR TOO? I’M A LITTLE CONFUSED. I went ahead and write it as if we were, but I’m not sure if we are, so I didn’t really pick up after…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76

Absolutely! If it weren’t for how it benefits the story, nine of us would kill off our characters. With the possible exception of those authors that just love to break their reader’s heart. XD

We all have a little streak of that in us…

But honestly, a death in a book without reason is one of my pet peeves. I hate it when I…[Read more]
