@Unsung

Thank you! I hope it stays that way when I am done writing it! What a coincidence!

It does sound meaningful? Good! 😅 Because that has become my greatest concern.

(I had a similar thought!) While MC’s death won’t spark a rebellion, it will cause much anger against him and he will be very painfully stripped of his gift (painful for him…[Read more]

@GodlyFantasy12

I’m not struggling with the death (that is set) but with why he dies.

I’m sorry it is so confusing. I was having a difficult time explaining it clearly.

I do plan on having the antagonist go through a redemption arc, if he can (I’m not completely sure if it is compatible with his character). He will be given a chance to redeem…[Read more]

Lol yes, @elanor, thank you again!

@emilysf Wow! This was absolutely riveting! And the plot you’ve crafted and woven sounds phenomenal. It’s a little funny too, because in the book I’m writing currently, My MC dies as well!

And as far as your questionings go, I would say that what you were thinking by the end of writing all that out (the idea of having the only way out as killing…[Read more]

@emilysf so I’ve actually started a page for character death discussions because I’m struggling with a character death myself.

I’m not entirely sure I can give much advice because….well just being honest I myself am a bit….confused if that makes sense. But some of that might be it is a LOT harder to explain your ideas on here then what they are…[Read more]

@everyone 🤣

Sigh….it’s….rough yall….

I’m also going to seek out some advice from my mom (she’s pretty great at this kinda stuff)

@elishavet-pidyon what you said really helps.

I wouldn’t be bringing the Charrie back because I wrote myself into a corner, and it wouldn’t be a “Deus Ex Machina” thing where like they’re all about to die and OH L…[Read more]

@faith-q

Well, I really haven’t been paying enough attention have I? I just saw this tag. =|

That sounds like a good start for a story, and is making ideas spring into my head. If written well it wouldn’t be cliche. It has some possibilities for a powerful storyline.

Random spark of ideas- What if this country is something like Israel under…[Read more]

You may not be having this problem anymore, but I thought I’d chip in my piece of advice.

Like someone mentioned before, I like to figure out generally how long something is going to be before putting a whole lot of effort into it. If something seems like a short story idea, I don’t put a whole lot of world building effort into writing it, eve…[Read more]

Tolkien’s world building is amazing, and most of the reason I like his books so much, and then Sam is just so endearing. (I do enjoy making people laugh. 😉)

Well, I may rant at some point, and it is nice to know that I will have a welcome ear, when I do. 🙂

I don’t know either, so I’m going to wait a little bit to see if anyone else knows the…[Read more]

lol I know a few people who are about the same level! I am not quite that much of a fan myself, but I have many friends who are! (Also the Chef’s kiss made me giggle 😉

Lol it’s alright! I’m not going to squeeze anything out of you! I just know that sometimes I just want someone to rant to aobut my writing stuff, but I don’t do it unless others…[Read more]

Where would I put a topic about my WIPs, should I put them all in one, or make one for each?

Thank you, @unsung. We can be new members together, then! 🙂

It is. Thank you.

I’d say I go 95% into being totally engrossed and learned and addicted. It is very very close to obsession, heh. I probably am not an all out Tolkien fan, like buying Tolkien stuff all the time, but I do love love love to read the books, and even dare to really like…[Read more]

@madelyn

My favorite kinds of tea are as follows:

Bangel Spice, Earl Grey, English breakfast, Honey Vanilla Chamomile, and we’ll finish off with Lemon Ginger!

Favorite music artists… I haven’t found many songs that Matthew West does that I don’t like! I would say, if I had to choose one, it would be him. But I also love a cappella music, so…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Yeah, murdering characters is definitely one of those harder things about story plotting. I have a MIA in one of mine who won’t come back, even though part of me is testing that point pretty hard.

Oh… huge Wingfeather spoiler  was so well written, but, ahh, it hurt. *Sniff*

@emilysf, welcome!

I’m new here myself, so I couldn’t answer many questions, but looks like Madelyn did a wonderful job of that!

First off I want to say my heart goes out to you! Today must be a hard one. (I’ll be praying for you, that you might feel God’s comfort and peace!)

How deep into Tolkien lore do you go? I have friends who are all-out…[Read more]

(do comments not post if you add links?)

Thank you, @madelyn, for answering my questions.

My favorite books include: The Lord of the Rings, Keeper of the Lost Cities, the Sackett series by Louis L’Amour, Pride and Prejudice, various Shakespeare plays, Rantisia: Search for the Ranta (formatting mistakes, but still enjoyable), The Rise of…[Read more]

How do I reply? I had a reply all typed, and clicked submit, but it disappeared without seeming to have posted.

well, that worked.
