@calidris

These are so prreeetttyyyy

I haven’t seen an art style like yours in a while. I love the sharp lines.

You said you do colored pencil? Do you use any other types of art, eh, uTiLitiES(Idk what they’re called)? Have you ever tried digital art before?

I love to paint, and I do love me some watercolor, but I’m never bold enough to try…[Read more]

@calidris

Lol. I don’t think that’s too embarrassing. When I was like, nine, I “saved” a bird by chasing it across the street, into my neighbor’s yard, through a fence, and into tomato bushes, finally capturing it and returning that little baby ROBIN to a MORNING DOVE’S nest. It didn’t thank me.

I will watch Haikyu a shot, when my schedule is…[Read more]

@calidris

Hullo! Welcome!

You like birds? This is great. Have you ever saved a bird? But also,

ANIME. So I’m not a weeb or anything, but I do love certain anime. I have heard of Haikyuu!! and would watch it but rn I’m in the middle of a few other animes, Just wanted to ask(i know you haven’t seen a lot of anime) but have you heard of Violet…[Read more]

@calidris very good! you’re very good at people! I am terrible and people and can’t use color in my art or I ruin it XD I guess what I mean is good job because it takes talent to put color in art!

@calidris btw I don’t sort socks either and I actually have a pair with owls on them. Well… I just moved out on my own so I won’t be sorting socks no more, hallelujah!! I used to dig through the pile until I had them all matched XD (there’s eight people in my family, hence the reason I could actually dig in the sock pile XD )

@calidris Aw that sucks because it’s a great app. But the lab that supports it is amazing as well and if you sign up (it’s free!) you can submit your sightings and observations as well as access their library and bird pictures and sound recordings and stuff! I use it a lot.

I know right?!!! birds are so unappreciated in forms other than roasted…[Read more]

@kathleenramm thanks!!

the idea for the fantasy one was a griffin keychain pendant and an idea that sprouted from my childhood world I invented when I was about 10.

The inspiration for the sci fi was… um… good question. XD wanting to try my hand in it and the character was based on my personality but obviously not my life lol.

Honestly……[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin @akbaer

@calidris no waaaaaaay!!!! A fellow birdwatcher?!! I love birds!!! Have you heard of the Merlin Bird ID app? It’s so useful! what are your favorite birds?

sorry for the outburst of enthusiasm. XD

Well,  you can share some things you enjoy, so you’re off to a good start 😉

I like worldbuilding too!! I will see that art! Also, to tag people,…[Read more]

@anatra23 thank you! yes, that is very good advice! Thanks everyone!! 🙂 @keilah-h he is a shape-shifter of sorts, so he ‘sprouts’ wings when he’s stressed or angry or needs to

@elfwing

This was interesting. I loved it. Well written, I had a good idea of the scene and the atmosphere, and even while knowing not much abt your characters, I had a good idea of their personalities. One thing that I think would be helpful here would be (like scoutfinch suggested) a dip into emotion regarding Kaunon. Maybe show a bit more of…[Read more]

@abigail-m I read it and enjoyed it! @devastate-lasting totally summed it up well, and no I would’ve have the heart to get rid of any of them

@kathleenramm intriguing!!

My plot stake? in my fantasy it’s these:

Stake 1: If they fail the world is destroyed by giant dragons.

Stake 2. If they fail they die in painful ways and goblins take over what is left of said demolished world.

my sci-fi novel…

1: If they fail to keep away from the lab that screwed up their genetics and made them…[Read more]

@nanisnook ok sounds good!! Yes, I am indeed! There isn’t really a deadline for finishing it as of right now. Also, I would suggest just looking up the definition of beta reader because I’m terrible at explaining it XD

So @keilah-h @nanisnook just email roseoakauthor at gmail dot com and I will get you on there in a few days. Sorry for not…[Read more]

@keilah-h fun!! XD

@lydia-s thanks!! it was fun to do 😉

@joy-caroline

Oooo, I love Keziah already!!! I guess one thing about her that would make people (yours truly especially… 😛 ) LOVE her is to make her tug at your readers’ heartstrings and make her relatable. Make her a mirror in which, perhaps, from time to time, they see someone who is all too familiar. (The desire for revenge, brooding, and…[Read more]

@maryg3

Oooo, CONGRATS!!! How exciting! XD

I do not have a blog at the moment, but from a reader’s perspective, I know my favorite articles are ones about the writer’s (or other writers’)  book(s), whether that be memes, behind-the-scenes peeks, extra scenes, cover reveals, etc. I especially love fun stuff about the book (Covers, memes,…[Read more]

@zatara

Ah, Danek… I could likely rant for hours about him, poor fellow. He’s a villain… of sorts. (It’s hard to explain without spoiling books 1 and 2.) But anyway, basically, he just wants someone to love him, but, unfortunately, it seems fairly impossible. His mother is dead; his father was emotionally crippled by her death and isn’t a…[Read more]

@elfwing

lol This is awesome! XD
