Don’t worry about becoming annoying, I for one, like reading other people’s stuff. 🙂 This was a good one!

As for the questions, here are my thoughts:

1. Yes. His guilt is very obviously portrayed. I would mention though, that in his conversation, it gets a wee bit repetitive. That may be on purpose, because it is probably going…

You like Chuck Black too?!

*Remembers my manners*

Oh, pardon me.

Greetings, and welcome to the kingdom! I’m called Elishavet around here, and I mostly write medieval fantasy, poetry, and children’s church material. My two current WIPs are both medieval fantasy, although one is an…[Read more]

I understand! All my early writing was Historical fiction. Then I found historical fantasy. Already being a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my writing, it’s a relief not to be constantly worried about accuracy.

@freedomwriter76

So am I! XD I’m just now learning her back story.

The funny thing is all my awful younger writing had female MCs. All of it. Then a few years ago I picked back up writing, and POOF! Nearly all male.

So! Here is my other MC for Seas of Fury. She’s one of those characters I am still figuring out, so here is her first collage. She’s also randomly the only female character that made it to MC stage.

@koshka

I know, right? I’ll be doing the same. 😉

@joy-caroline

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]

@freedomwriter76

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!
