I know exactly what you mean. T_T

I do, actually. It is confusing at times, but those trolls…

@koshka

AHhHh I love the end too! But then, I also hate it if you know what I mean *cries silently*

I know the themes in it are BEAUTIFUL! I love the poetry too! Peterson is an incredible author!

Do you like troll poetry? I don’t always understand it very well, but I must admit…those trolls are talented XDD

Yaaa me no like licorish XD

Yes…[Read more]

@avacoulter

Ah, that library. I have only been able to visit a few times, and after getting lost in the secret passages, they make sure I have a guide. I still don’t know how I found that passage….

I am from a village called Kigor about five day’s journey to Rysentown. However, I was not born in Aerwiar, and if my suspicions are correct, I’m…[Read more]

@avacoulter

Ah, Wingfeather. I have finished the series and I love it, especially the end. There is so much under the surface in those books, so many deeper meanings. I am also a tad bit of an aspiring poet which thrills over Peterson’s well written verse.

My mother prefers the licorice one. Me, they’re one of the worst regular flavors of…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Hi Joy! It’s so nice to meet you!

Oh awesome! I haven’t read much biblical fiction, but the stuff that I have I absolutely loved. Especially Francine River’s Lineage of Grace Series.

That sounds SOO cool! I love St. Paul and Acts is one of my fave books of the Bible. And Temira is such a pretty name!!

Ooh my favorite food’s gotta…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Haha, ikr!

I don’t, actually…yet. I’m a definitely a pantser when it comes to writing novels (especially a series), so I usually don’t have a good premise until I finish it lol. But basically *doesn’t know how to summarize without spoilers and without making it sound boring* it’s about a dystopian society called Kalopsia…[Read more]

@avacoulter

Ah, it is good to meet another Annieran here. As for my favorite THAGS I am at a bit of a loss. I obviously love Word, but Form…  some of my earliest memories include drawing. As for Song, music is truly amazing. I guess Form or Word. Or Song, oh dear.

A dog named Kalmar? That’s fantastic! None of our cats and dogs were ever very…[Read more]

@scoutfinch180

Or spinach!? You might have just saved my rapidly crumbling castle.

Ah, emotion. I don’t know if I write it well, but I do love to sort out highly emotional scenes from a character other than the POV, so I write them a lot in my head. Then they usually become convoluted as I try to write them down and I end up with a REALLY weird…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Yay!! Thank you, I hope is was encouraging at least.

Speaking of miracles, I’ve been thinking. Why do we need magic in our books if we have a powerful God? I have nothing against using magic as an allegory of His power, but I realized that just because I don’t have magic in my books doesn’t mean I can’t have unexplainable things!…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

I think my favorite has gotta be my current WIP, which is a dystopian trilogy. I just love the setting, the plot, and the characters are just awesome!

What about you?

@jodi-maile

Oh that sounds SOO cool! I’d totally read that! That’s cool that you write with your sister too! I have 4 siblings, but none of them like to write XD. Although, my little brother is one of my main beta readers, which has been interesting lol.

That’s awesome! I haven’t written many short stories (mostly cuz when I do, they end up…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

It is confusing. But somewhere I heard that apparently if your book is set in some other world it atomaticaly becomes Fantasy. Whether or not that is true, it was helpful, at least to this beginning writer.

I don’t have anything against the type of magic in Narnia and Wingfeather, where ‘magic’ really just means God’s power…[Read more]

Oh, and I love this topic too. For my work to be good, I will want it to edify the reader in some way. Bunches of my stuff is to entertain, but I want to put lessons/themes in them too.

@joy-caroline

Ok, so I don’t know if you’re still working over miracles, signs, and wonders, but I thought I’d join in, if it’s all right.

I understand how miracle scenes can fall flat. God is so amazing, and our best writings are so inadequate to describe Him.

Then what to do when writing miracles? Well, what do we do when we see miracles? Do…[Read more]

@koshka

I don’t have magic either😃 Which made me seriously doubt whether my book could even be classed as fantasy, especially since I also don’t have mythical creatures or monsters. But I’ve decided my book does fit in that genre — mostly cause I can’t think of any other genre it would fit in. It’s a fantasy type story — kinda like Avatar the La…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel. @elishavet-pidyon

The Horse and His Boy is my favorite Narnia book! That and the end of The Last Battle. Ah, the Hermit…

Oh my. Yes, I have considered putting an end to my writing endeavors. I have considered deleting/incinerating all my existing work. I still struggle over if being a published author is part of His plan for my life.

But the stories keep growing, deepening, branching out, untill they spill out in some form of other. I’ve tried to smother them, put…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Yeah, it’s not really plagiarism…. I just have a talent for unwittingly using names others have either used or used similar ones. The funniest thing, is that the names aren’t usually common. I make them up myself.

Ah, that blissful book! There have been many times I’ve quoted the Hermit to myself….

@elishavet-pidyon

The Hermit. Yes.😂 I love Horse and his Boy …

I don’t think it’s plagiarism, though. Your story will be different to mine in a thousand other ways, so I don’t think it really matters if some of our names have similarities.
