@bella-d That’s so cool you write historical fiction. Some of us on here do, but the vast majority write fantasy. I write both, and other genres as well. Who’s your favorite historical character?

@rochellaine Yep, it’s called contemporary fiction.

@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…

@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.

@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.

@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]

@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.

What Kate and MNValentine said.

@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?

@bella-d  Welcome to the bestest place in cyberspace!! I’m so glad you’re here! 😉

And now for my trademark question: What are your favorite books and TV shows?

@gh24682468999 I use Pexels.

@perfectfifths Well, anything, but I think particularly descriptions/sentence structure. I want to make sure it flows just right and is easy to envision.

@perfectfifths Yes, I sent it via email. If you haven’t got the invitation, here’s a link to it.

Ha! I’m writing a story actually with music based magic, so, yes, it can be done.

@perfectfifths Thanks. Just sent you an invitation to a google doc.

@radically-surrendered  That’s a fascinating idea!! I think you should try it! It sounds like a world where I’d want to live! I love music. But make sure you find a unique and captivating plot or else it will get a little old. It seems like that to me.

I love this! 😀

@itisastarrynight  That’s fine 🙂

Her name is…. I haven’t decided. Let’s call her “Peri.” She has pale blue eyes, very short straight blond hair, and large round glasses. She has a steampunk outfit, but not as frilly as Amelia’s outfit 🙂

And if you want I’ll draw one of your characters in return 😉

@itisastarrynight  Yes, you did a great job! Wow, that’s impressive. I wouldn’t have had the patience to study cloth folds XD

……. Can you draw my character?! XD

@itisastarrynight  I’m sorry, I butted in, but OMW that is AMAZING!!!!

@daughteroftheking  You are in for a treat!!
