@Abigail-m

Thanks!! 🙂

@gracie-j

Thank you! 🙂 💗 You too!

@gracie-j

Yup!! She lives in a rural, earthy village named Gressan, which sort of reminds me of a Scottish countryside. And they have a lot of reindeer there (not, like, the flying ones or anything lol) #coolestjobever

@devastate-lasting

Hey, that’s really neat! Love the depth/shading! 🙂

@scripter-of-kingdoms

Whoa! That’s so cool! Y’know, I thought about trying to draw some manga before 😀

@gracie-j

Lol, thanks, girl!! 🙂 Quotes are one of my favorite things to write!

@lewilliams

Haha, thank you!! I love Caira and Alana because they’re total opposites, and yet they’re best friends. It’s fun to write their dialogue/interactions 🙂 And Deek and Newton are great, too <33333333

Thanks! I need to polish it a little more… but she has some powerful (and quite humorous) quotes 😀

@lewilliams

Of COURSE!!!  🙂 Yayayayay!! I’m looking forward to more (hint hint)!!! ^o^

@gracie-j Aww, thank you!! Your comment made me smile quite big. I appreciate you taking the time to read it!

@nova21 Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate your kind words 😀 I’ll definitely post more in that case! (Once I wrangle my second chapter into some semblance of order, that is.) Thank you for reading!!

@writerlexi1216 Aw, thanks–I’m…[Read more]

@gracie-j Gracie!!! Your quotes are so lovely!! I want to like, embroider one on a wall hanging or something.

@joy-caroline Ahhh, I love those!!

@godlyfantasy12 Ooh I already love Cecily! I get such a clear picture with just that one quote.

@e-k-seaver Hah, I love that. XD

@writerlexi1216 Hehe, thanks! I could definitely see Caira saying that.…[Read more]

@lewilliams

Thank you so much, Elizabeth!!!!! <33333 I started smiling sooooo big when I read that!!! I’m super happy you were hooked (and thanks for taking the time to read it; I know my chapters are quite lengthy)!!! Oh, you’re not the only one *cries on the inside and wishes I could have an owl*

Thank you so much! I try to put in extra effort…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

*ahem*

LEXI THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, you had me hooked from the first paragraph!! I already feel like I get such a clear image of Caira and her personality. (Also, I want an owl now. Dangit.) You’re incredible at description–everything felt so vivid and had a definite aesthetic to it. (Side note about that–I was…[Read more]

So here’s some more lines that I enjoy! 🙂

Here’s a sweet/sad one…

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Newton to Caira : I can’t lose you, Caira, because if I did, I’d lose the only person I’ve ever believed in.</p>

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Here’s another one that I like…</p>

Caira : True power doesn’t come from a throne, coronation, or b…

@jodi-maile Hmm, that’s an excellent question…I remember liking The Marvelous Misadventures of Sebastian quite a bit. Also The Gawgon and the Boy (which is more along the lines of realistic fiction than fantasy). Also Time Cat, because, you know, cats. 😀

Wow, that’s so neat!!! And haha, I feel you with the whole getting-…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Same, girl, same… None of my characters have ‘happy’ lives at the moment lol.

I would most likely choose my MC’s best friend, Alana. She lives with her tribe in a rural village on the outskirts of the kingdom, with her grandmother. Alana is a reindeer shepherdess, and is very tomboyish and retains a positive outlook on just a…[Read more]

@lewilliams

OH MY WORD I love those!! I love the second-to-last one so much because that sounds exactly like something Caira would say (not that she’s a water mage). I absolutely love the “Horace, we’re out of milk” line 😀 (By the way, Horace is an excellent name!)

@graice-j

IKR?? I thought the name ‘Maverick’ fitted him, but I fell in love with ‘Deek’ more XD If you wanna hear his first-ever name… *gulps* … it was Gabriel, which does not fit him at all lol. I only went with Gabriel because he belonged to an entirely different series which I completely scrapped about a year ago.

Some of Caira’s…[Read more]

@nova21

Awwww, girl THANK YOU!! Your feedback is super helpful (and encouraging, as always 🙂 ) Thank you for taking the time to read it (because I know my chapters can be looooong)!!!! Just a million thank yous for this AMAZING feedback!!! 🙂 <33333333

@writerlexi1216 I love the idea of this topic so much! Thank you for starting it!!!

Here’s one:

Years of sitting in on meetings I did not understand, and the gradual, numbing understanding that there was nothing in the world that could not be bought and sold for a few parcels of land or a title flooded into my mind. “I see.”

And anot…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms

Not to interrupt this conversation, but that’s so neat!! I should try doing a persona sometime… You’ve SO inspired me to start drawing, girl!!!! <3333333 Also I love your new tagline XD

@Gracie-j

Those are great names!! I didn’t even make the connection that Catherina was Rina’s full name!! *slaps palm to forehead* By the way, when you were listing off those names, you reminded me that I very nearly named Deek ‘Maverick’. That was his name in the early drafts XD

@devastate-lasting

I know!! Sometimes I just shake at my head at…[Read more]
