Ok, I’m sorry I have taken so long to reply. My favorite genres to read are most likely (medieval) fantasy, or theology/doctrine. I also love a good historical fiction!

All four of my books are differing types of fantasy, between medieval and animals (if that’s a type). My other project is kid’s church curriculum.

What are yours?

@trahia-the-minstrel

Oh, oh, your names are lovely. Hebrew? My sister is learning Hebrew!

@elfwing

Your lines are great! I like Faeda, being short myself. And is Tyroll her older, or younger brother?

@elishavet-pidyon

The û? Do you know which culture it comes from? Also, that’s epic you’re learning Hebrew!😃 I watched some beginners’ videos to learn the structure — in terms of it being an SVO language, like English. Unlike my main kingdom’s language, which is an SOV language, like Japanese.

I like the mix of cultures you’re using for Eirtan!…[Read more]

Ok, so now I can’t contain myself. @trahia-the-minstrel, did you say your desert country is Hebrew influenced? (Note gleeful chewing of lip) I’m learning Hebrew. Also, Eirtan is a mix of Celtic, Norse, Kieven Rus and mid-east/isreali culture, so I’m a tad unduly excited. (By the by, that particular letter you mentioned is my personal…[Read more]

@joy-caroline oh bother! it ate my response again, now I can’t remember hahah

Anyhow, pretty much; if it works to make it into three, then do it. I made a 6 book series because I wanted to make a story about the lives of the people in my world. I ended book 1 with a cliffhanger that is (hopefully) suspenseful and emotional, and a major moment…[Read more]

@keilah-h coolio!! Good job 🙂

@kathleenramm

For me it was that as in real life, the antagonist does not have to be a corrupt human or evil demon kind of thing; it could be anything.

Everyone has something in their life that is their ‘antagonist’, it may be a literal person being a pain in the butt, but it could be anything from financial problems to chronic pain to health…[Read more]

@lydia-s mwahahahah well… let me pull something up out of my 1000 pages of organized chaos called a series XD

hahaah my charries sound insane out of context, but I think the lines do sum them up pretty well XD

and I love that line of yours, the shotgun one. Made me laugh out loud and startle my cousin XD

Faeda Rouronon

@kathleenramm I am so late to this topic, i haven’t been on here in over two weeks lol

Well my greatest strength? whew, I am not sure; probably making new worlds and ideas with every moment I am awake and not preoccupied with life, so… endless ideas that I can use in stories? XD

Weakness…

Well, I’d say Im weak in a lot of areas, but…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Lol.😂 Yeah, I always spoil everything to both my little sister, my big sister, and my big brother — and then pester them with feedback on any new plot developments I’ve thought of.😂

@anatra23 Yes, I’m doing a round of beta reading for it now, and then I’ll probably do another couple of editing passes, maybe one more round of beta readers, before trying to pitch it to agents. It’s 180k words, though, so I’m gonna have to be creative and precise in order to sell them on it — YA fantasy isn’t normally that long&#x1f60…[Read more]

@koshka

Thanks!

Up to the 3rd/2 and a half/beta reader draft of my first book, and the first draft of my second book. The next three books are only in my head at this stage😅

@anatra23

At least he dies late in the book? Or perhaps that makes it worse. Yes, he will be missed, but Viktor needs to be who he was made to be, and Ruben wouldn’t want to go any other way.

@lydia-s I know this is random, but I didn’t realize you had read the Green Ember etc. What is your favorite character/lines? We love Helmer and Jo Shanks.…[Read more]

@anatra23

In Russian the words are ‘supposed’ to be spelled the way they sound, all except those thousands of exceptions… *sigh*. If you mean words from other languages, than yes.

BQ= Bible Quizzing. The lady I met is a quizzer Mom (her daughter is in Junior’s).

That makes more sense! I was thinking ‘Wow, she was doing…[Read more]

Ok, that didn’t work.

@trahia-the-minstrel

Your books sound good! How much do you have written, if I may ask?

@joy-caroline

Over Paul’s sister? I don’t usually read Biblical fiction (as it influences my memory) but I would read yours!

Well, I’m still writing my series, but I’ll try to answer your questions.

1. Pinpoint a central theme to plant throughout the series. Each book should deal with/breath this theme. Next, find at least three (or however…

Hi, @e-p-writes !

I’m Tráhia the Minstrel, and I think your goal is really cool! I’m glad to be the first person to welcome you to the Kingdom, especially since I only joined super recently myself 😊.

I also write YA fantasy with the hopes of shining God’s light into a genre that is mostly dark. I want clean reads for kids because as a homesc…[Read more]

@lydia-s — Thanks!

@anatra23  Thanks! Tbh, I didn’t really think about it much, I just made up the names lol😂 But when I was trying to figure out how to spell the names, I was listening to my older sister (who’s a linguist) talking about International Phonetic Alphabet’s pronunciation. She said in that, the vowel I generally makes an ‘ee’ sou…[Read more]

Hi @joy-caroline !

My book series is meant to be five books, but I hope that my advice can be helpful. The series as a whole is a huge overarching story, and the problem I set up in the first book (who will become the next king of my kingdom, and who is worthy to be said king) won’t be concluded until the end of the series. But each book has it…[Read more]
