@daughteroftheking Yes, I know what you mean! It has that Shakespearean sonnet feel to it 🙂
@jenwriter17Â Which Tales have you read (or partially read), do you know?
@sleepwalkingmk @aratrea Thanks! I will keep that in mind when I pick Chaucer back up again 🙂

Hi friends,
I’m submitting a guest post called Theme Made Simple to a writing blog here in a couple days. I’d like to get a few people to look over it before I submit it, so if you’re interested in theme, have at it. It’s only 900 words, but there’s a ton backed in…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm Try Rora for historical fiction. It’s a tale of a Waldensian resistance fighter and it has some good political intrigue in it.

@sam-kowal That synopsis is great. 😀  Where can I read this book? 😛
I’ve taken to just sharing my story premise.
“Oh, my book? It’s about these guys who are trying to steal this thing from the dark lord before he figures out it has the power to release him from his captivity.”
Never mind that description lacks any life whatsoever. They d…[Read more]

I had to rewrite it completely, but I think it will turn out well! I FINALLYFINALLYFINALLY have the plot figured out!!

@mnvalentine Cool! 🙂 I should like to do that, too
It’s going great! Last night a light bulb clicked in my head, and ever since, I have been rewriting it. Over 3000 words so far! I plan to get it done by February and maybe post it in March. I am so excited about it!

Daeus replied to the topic Fighting The Block in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 3 months ago
@dragon-snapper There are lots of good takes on this here. I agree with them. I’ll just post two other ideas.
1. Take a break, but not from your book. Take a break just to dream about your book. Imagine yourself in scenes. Dream about backstory you’ve never thought of. Just dream.
2. I think writing isn’t always so much about our books as it is…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic PRAYER REQUESTS #2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 3 months ago
@epicaddie2 That is totally relatable.
I’ll be remembering to pray for you, because this is very similar to what I face, only it’s not a loneliness issue but still a faith issue.
If I could say two things to encourage you, first of all, “In everything give thanks.” Boy, this helps. I think we feel depressed because we feel weak. In thankfulness,…[Read more]
