Okay, so I was originally gonna say I pants things, but then as I thought abt it, I realized that I legit plan nearly everything in my life. As I’m falling asleep at night, I usually dream abt two things. One, fiction, and two, the upcoming day and the events in it.
I find myself sympathizing with seekjustice and morgan on this…[Read more]

yes, poor Colin. It also shows how critically important parents are; if you don’t teach your child to be confident and a little independent, they literally cannot do things for themselves. And yes, he’s not a character I want to relate to but I can and it is encouraging to see his transformation!
as for my writing style… it was…[Read more]

So what I’m catching here is that you want readers to sympathize with this Keziah. She’s a good person at heart, but is conflicted with the anger and grief that Paul has caused her. If this is what you’re going for, maybe try adding a clip of her, say, helping the needy(I understand there were quite a few of these back in Paul’s…[Read more]

“Thorne, we came to talk.” Lyn called out, standing on her tiptoes, as if that would help her voice carry. A muffled reply proceeded from the back. She groaned, walking to the entrance of the other room and mot…

@kathleenramm Yes Tolkien was an amazing author! My inspiration for writing style is partly from him but less ‘fancy wording’ if you get what I mean XD simpler English.
Aww yes Colin is such a good character for a positive character arc. His character lie is big, isn’t it? I suppose he’s very relatable; he may be a brat to begin with and a…[Read more]

@joy-caroline well I’d suggest giving moments showing her praying and asking God to help her with forgiveness, and showing her conflict with her anger and her want to obey God’s will of forgiveness. Show her earnest desire to follow God’s word I suppose; show the moments of love she gives others when she has the chance, but then her unsurity of…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 ok sounds like a good plan! 🙂
btw it is fantasy and is not an allegory any more than Lord of the Rings is. I instead strongly incorporate lessons like loyalty, honesty, and forgiveness in my stories. It doesn’t have ‘magic’ as in wizards, and witches and such things if that gives you a better idea. Some of the evil people…[Read more]

@goldyfantasy12 @keilah-h
It has no language or sexual content (that is something I’m very strict about). It’s adventures of a sister and brother and their journies growing up and crossing the lands. It doesn’t have gory violence, but there are many battles. It’s no more violent than the LoTR. I wrote it for teens.
There’s no strict deadline :)…[Read more]

Hi y’all!! so, I’m looking for beta readers, as betrayed by the title.
I’m not sure if you like fantasy or not, but if you do then this is a good opportunity for it!! I do not have a strict dead-line, but I’d love some feedback by the end of the year to see if I need to make any major changes…
I’m gonna tag some people, and since I don’t know…[Read more]

Kaunon has been into a lot of scrape and survived by the skin of his teeth, the scares are from fire battles and a nasty sand dragon that tried to eat him and when that didn’t work it tried to crush him 😂
