@bella-d Cool! What kinds of things do you like to sew?

@emily-d Oh my goodness yes riding horses is pure awesomeness, bliss, and all those other happy words!!! Do you a favorite breed? I really like Quarter horses and especially Thoroughbreds. do you ride western or english?

I haven’t seen a Cavalia show, but I want to sooooo bad! I think they came to my city once, but i missed it….😂

@that_writer_girl_99 Okay. Well, there are a lot of swords, but this will cover all you need.

• One handed sword. The handle is only big enough for one hand. You’re probably going to use this in conjunction with a shield.
• One and a half handed sword. The handle is just the right size to fit two hands, but it can also be comfortably handled with…

Hey @bella-d !

Welcome to KP! What do you like to do when you aren’t writing?

And @rochellaine I think that genre is called contemporary or contemporary fiction??
(if someone knows and i’m wrong pls let me know!)

@aislinn-mollisong  *bows with a flourish*  Why thank you.  😉

@that_writer_girl_99 Okay. Well, if I just spewed out everything I could possibly tell you, we’d be here for quite some time. Could you narrow things down any? What do you need to decide on for your novel?

Also, if you haven’t yet, check out this article I wrote.

@aislinn-mollisong  It’s fantasy.  Sure thing (I’ll give you the long synopsis…)!

Jaclyn Fallows’ world has a history of turning upside down.

Like when she was suddenly able to create a small blue flame in the palm of her hand on her eighth birthday.  Or when she started having the same dream about the sister who vanished without a trac…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 I have fired compound, recurve, and longbows before, but I’m certainly not an expert on them. If you have any questions on handheld weapons though (especially swords), I’d be happy to help.

@aislinn-mollisong  It’s called Substitute.  🙂

@aislinn-mollisong  Editing my WIP.  My goal was to have the first draft finished by Christmas, and I did it!  So now I’m rewriting some of the beginning.  What about you?

@itisastarrynight So, I had that exact same question just a week ago.

And I started a blog. I had no idea what I was going to write about, but as soon as I started it, I started finding ideas.

To get a general idea of what bloggers blog about, I’d check out a bunch of blogs. There are some good ones on the page of my blog.

For me, I get the…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong  *waves arms wildly*  I am heeeere!!!!

@itisastarrynight Blogs, like social media, serve two potential purposes. 1, To promote yourself/get people on your email list. 2, To interact with readers. Actually, they also serve a third purpose of helping you get used to writing regularly.

If you really want your blog to be a major way you promote yourself, you need to blog about something…[Read more]

What Kate and MNValentine said.

@radically-surrendered  Chuck Black’s books are great!  Have you ever played his board game?  One of my brothers got it for Christmas.

If you really would like my ideas or advice, do you want my email address?

If you are just being nice but would rather have your ideas yourself, that’s okay too, and I’ll just work on the many stories of my ow…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 Definitely!  I know what that’s like.  I had to fly without my parents last year (I was with my sisters so it wasn’t as bad), but I was a little nervous too.  🙂

@bella-d @dekreel I love those authors too!

H. Rider Haggard is an AMAZING Historical Fiction author.

Elizabeth Elliot – you should have heard of her husband Jim Elliot and Nate Saint, who were martyred by the Aucas, now called the Waorani.  She later went back and taught her husband’s murderers about Christ.

Douglas Bond – Another His-Fic…[Read more]

@bella-d Have you seen how we “tag” people by putting an “@” symbol before their name?  That sends an alert to our emails, so we can reply more easily.  🙂

@mnvalentine I actually don’t write fantasy. 🙂  That’s why I have trouble naming my genre.  I do a little bit of Historical Fiction, and I did some time travel, which is Science Fiction, but…[Read more]

@radically-surrendered Thanks, that makes sense.

I’d love to be a beta reader or just talk it over with you while the story progresses!  I have one request though…

Would it be possible for you to write it without using the words “magic”, “sorcery”, or anything of that nature for anyone on the good side?  “Power” would be an easy s…[Read more]

@bella-d

I love everything by Sir H. Rider Haggard, Elisabeth Elliot, Douglas Bond, and John J. Horn.

I’ve never heard of those books. What kind of stuff do they write?
