I think this is my latest reply on record. 😬 Sorry. I have excuses, but let’s not make this reply any more delayed.

To the reply…

G. K. Chesterton’s essays are pretty good, and I’d definitely recommend them. You know his style if writing from The Man Who Was Thursday (our father read part of that to my siblings and I years…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Ah, that’s good! I’m glad to hear it was easy to navigate. That has happened to me a few times before on websites as well …

@trahia-the-minstrel

Welcome!

Oh dear. XD I was referring to my astounding ability to run myself into corners on blogs/websites from which not even the back button can save me. XD

I didn’t get lost in yours, so that was greatly appreciated. 🙂

@godlyfantasy12

Ok, that makes a lot of sense (I was not a little suspicious.). It’s beautiful, especially the ending.

Meter is often tricky, but you worked it in so  well. Have fun with it!

@avacoulter

Thanks for the info!

@sparrowhawke

Thanks for the advice! I have researched and read each article on the blog tour now, I found the links on their Instagram account. Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts in doing an online course for 3 whole years, when it means missing out on an in-person community? I come from a small town, and…[Read more]

@jodi-maile

Thank you! I’m so glad you like it!

@karissa-chmil

Thank you! Btw, I’ve been reading posts on the Author Conservatory blog tour, and saw that someone named Karissa had commented. Was that you?😊

@annabelle

Thank you! And thanks for commenting, it means a lot!

@keilah-h

Thank you!

Thank you! I didn’t quite…[Read more]

OoooOooOoo, I like it! It sounds so ominously absurd, if that makes sense. (The phrases “clown” and “spotlight” aren’t exactly expected) It reminds me of a character from a play my sister and I started to write (now we realize it’s more of a novel and less of a play, but oh well. XD) who says some profound things in a very cryptic…[Read more]

@annabelle @elishavet-pidyon

I suppose Natalia is sort of that entire known world, but for some reason it seemed to me more like a kingdom in a wild, unknown land.

I wonder if there’s a thing on here for Antagonist development. Or maybe we should start a new one.

Uniqueness… That may turn out to be a struggle, especially as I’m not entirely…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

It looks really good! I greatly appreciate that it is somewhat difficult to get stuck somewhere without a way to get back. The colors work together very well too. Congratulations and celebration!

*Cheer!*

@godlyfantasy12

Ooo, I like that last bit.

I can’t exactly see the rhyme and meter as the stanzas are written together in paragraph form, but what I could I enjoyed. Would you mind reposting it in verses (If it was written as such)?

@karissa-chmil

Eeeeeek! I love Mark of the Lion! It’s one of my favourite book series of all time, now, because of the ending of book 2. That ending … Ah.

I went around for 3 hours after with heartburn ranting about how amazing that ending was to anyone who’d listen.

But yes, I did notice the head-hopping myself, and found it really jarri…[Read more]

@annabelle @koshka

Ah, I think they are just as bad but in different ways. At least, they’re both ruthlessly cold-hearted.

Although, Garten is operating out of ambition and bitterness fueled by overpowering fear, while Bonifer just has the ambition and bitterness. So maybe Garten is less outrightly selfish? Both of them are blinded by similar…[Read more]

@annabelle

*Grimaces*

Bonnifer certainly did more damage. Hmm, maybe that should be taken as a warning; Garten betrayed his king and broke a kingdom, Bonnifer twisted a child and shattered a world.

*Sigh* My antagonists are either vague or already dead. They need work, but as I’m not sure who several of them are…

Bonnifer is as bad a Garten Longtreader, if not worse… He is well written though.

@annabelle

Slarb… Slarb… Yes, that sounds right. Not him either, the grotesque poltroon. Fangs are just horrible, I suppose.

@lana-blanchard

I never really thought of it as beautiful, just home.

Yep. XD

Snow is good, as long as you don’t have to travel in it and the power doesn’t go out.

I do like living here. We have strong churches and ——-. (I vehemently dislike politics)

I have never moved, but as my parents were both born in other states (to Texas folks)…[Read more]

@lana-blanchard

Aren’t they? 🙂 Yeah, the Badlands are amazing.

Those places sound soooooo pretty. I love looking down on a forest, especially when it’s very lush or colorful.

I’ve heard about Glacier National park but never been. Once our family hiked Multnomah Falls in Washington, and since we hadn’t thought to bring any water, (not the most…[Read more]

@lana-blanchard

I live in the Piney woods of East Texas, so round topped pines and ceder (The type of evergreens that explode pollen in the spring). We don’t get much snow, and when we do it’s usually just a dusting on top of ice, and it never stays long. However, every other year or so, we get a winter storm around February. The roads, and…[Read more]

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.
