Thank you! I loved writing it.

This is a fascinating poem. I especially love the last stanza, and the others are very good too. The imagery is particularly intriguing to me, as well as the change in meter at the end of each stanza.

The author of this poem, who at the moment is doing the dishes and thus can’t access her phone, has requested I tag a few people to look over this. (I think that’s what she said.)

Song/poem I just wrote. I don’t know if it’s any good. It would be sung be a captive.
Sing of Tomorrow
My yesterday was full of fears,
Today is always drenched in tears,
But I’m still singing-
I want to see Tomorrow again,
Show me Tomorrow again.
The years have slowly ground away,
And night was gaining day by day,
Yet I kept…[Read more]

You’re welcome! I can’t think of anything, but then, there might be something like that one of the mythology enthusiats here would know about. I don’t know much about fantasy in that direction myself.
Actually, Artham did inspire a character/creature in one of my books: essentially, the eagle I described above.
I was facsinated with…[Read more]

Wow, we do share quite a few favorite authors!
You like researching/designing fashion? Approximately, what eras hold the most interest for you, and what do you enjoy about it?
Personally, I enjoy learning about and recreating old clothing because I love history, and anyway, it’s great for world building! (Plus, hey, dressing up is fun.) 😉

Oh awesome! I like that about short stories too. Although I tend to make them too long and drawn out XD
Ikr! I should!
Aww that’s awesome!! I was kind of similar. When I was around 5-11 I would write short stories and novellas and “publish” them with tape, staples and printer paper XDD. And then when I was…[Read more]

Jaybird replied to the topic Wingfeather Saga in the forum Book Discussions 4 years, 9 months ago
Hmm, I’m not sure. The most similar thing besides angels (not fantasy, agreed) I can think of is either a pegasus or a huge eagle.
An eagle with a ten foot wingspan, strong protective instincts, and ready to sacrifice all if it would help those close to it.

And yes, that was MUCH more than needed. I got a bit carried away, I’m afraid.
My sincere apologies.

Thank you! (It’s a phrase deeply precious to me.)
Yours is beautiful too. I love a good quote!
As for my allegorical WIP, not only would I like to share it, but I need to hash it out with someone other than my sister. (Not that that is her fault, she’s a wonderful person to work stuff over with, and she’s welcome to comment on it,…[Read more]

I don’t know if I’m good at world building, but I completely agree. It’s fun.
Ban Rona was a mess. Yes, I fought, what’s more, I fought for my life. Those battles are longer in experience than in the records.
Edmund taught you? Wow, that must have been an amazing experience. I’m currently under the training of Master Sejus. 😉

Yep, Beethoven’s work is beautiful, but I’m definitely not there yet. 😉

I’m still rather new to this, so I’ll probably be coming up with great answers for this question in about two to three years. 😉
However, I do wish I understood both the importance of developing my characters and not to be afraid to change something even after months of work. Also, just to think through where I want my story to…[Read more]

Oh no! XD
So far I’ve loved shaping a little mirror of reality, so I hope as I get more in-depth it won’t stage a mutiny or petrify into something else. The one I’m the most concerned over is my allegorical series. It’s just not an anything-goes-here kind of situation when it’s a figure of Christianity and salvation. (Eeek!)

Jaybird replied to the topic Witnessing to Non-Christians Through Our Stories in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 4 years, 9 months ago
Sorry I took a while to respond. Anyway, yay! I don’t know exactly how I’ll work it, but it’ll definitely be something like that. Yes, fantasy is so open for creativity: that’s probably why I’ve ended up in that genre.

Jaybird replied to the topic Heyyy in the forum Start HERE 4 years, 9 months ago
Ah, plotting is climbing a mountain: hard, but worth it at the top. Your WIP sound so interesting. I’ve never read dystopian, but yours captures one of my all-time favorite themes: ‘what is truth?’. Yeah, definitely a book I might read.
