Writing has helped me think in words, to put my thoughts in a written format. But that may be expected. What I didn’t expect was a love for editing.

Yes, editing. Fixing mistakes, taking my horrid words and forming something beautiful. Sadly, I rarely have enough written to reform, and what I do have usually needs complete revision. *Sighs,…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Writing has allowed me to appreciate different forms of story more. While more things may seem mediocre now, I can also truly better appreciate the highest forms of literary art, such as classic lit, as well as extremely well done movies. Yes, being a writer ruins some things because now I can predict the plot. But when I can’t…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Ever since I started writing I read much less, and I don’t reread books I read long ago anymore, plus I think we gave a lot of them away. On the rare occasion that I remembered I loved one book as a kid and I would reread it, I usually found it more hilarious than before.

There was one trilogy I really loved called School For Good…[Read more]

@e-p-writes

Thank you! It’s alright, life is hard enough to keep up with. 😉

@abigail-m

Have you ever heard of Simon Khorolskiy? If you like good Russian worship music most of what I’ve heard of his I recommend.

@abigail-m

Is there any particular wolf biography you would recommend? Wolves are such beautiful creatures, it is sad when they are usually viewed as evil. That was one reason I wanted to write about them. This does help with the theme for this series; it doesn’t matter who you are, what you had done, or where you’ve been, you choose what heart…[Read more]

@abigail-m

This is all first draft, so… you know. Feedback more than welcome.

Note: The epilogue takes place in a world war almost a thousand years later.

Prologue
The sun was sinking, weary with winter. Moonlight was already dancing with the falling snow. A lonesome voice joined winds in song, then fell away. The stars hid, buried deep in…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Oh, and I’m thrilled you are using 9th century Russia! Most goof Medieval fantasy I’ve read is based in later centuries when there is so much left in earlier times.

@abigail-m

Um, I’m not sure what you mean by biographies, but I don’t think so. Most of what I know has come from old textbooks, pictures, and conversations. Most of the fictional books I’ve read that include some type of wolf usually equate them with something bad. Or maybe I just haven’t read many books with wolf characters.

Thank you! I try…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Hey, I am suuuper sorry for my late response.

THAT IS SO COOL!!!!! But, you have to finish the false prince series! It’s my absolute favorite!! Ooo yes, I can definitely see that!!! I was actually thinking about how similar your story sounded to the false price when you talked about it!!!

YES!!!! I’d love that…[Read more]

I love this series and especially the end. Although I was shocked when I got to it, I love the way it was written.

I wouldn’t want it to end any other way. It was meant to shake you, to make you stop and think.

It’s powerful. It’s a message. It is hope.

@abigail-m

Привет! I am commenting on here as it wouldn’t let me reply to you on the activity-feed-thing.

My brother’s writing is amazing (Don’t Tell him I said that)!

Thank you! I love my wolves and themes too. (Otherwise why would I like talking about them so much?)

My favorite theme to write? Ooo, I suppose that ‘ matter what you’ve done,…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

You’re welcome ;). I usually forget my character’s misbelief, so…

@trahia-the-minstrel

I have never seen it, and (is this bad?) I honestly don’t want to. I have heard it is amazing, again from a trusted source. I just don’t watch much of anything (a bit too much of a book person with a vivid imagination and  accidental history snob/nerd).

@e-k-seaver

I have no idea what Sprint means… We have a kids thing at our church tonight that I’m working, but I may be able to participate.

@kathleenramm I think for me it was probably plot and themes. I remember when I first started writing I didn’t really know what themes I wanted to write about, how to incorporate them, or if I even wanted a theme. Now I think that everything I write has multiple themes woven throughout, though I can’t quite tell what they are. (This is why I…[Read more]

What’s crazy is after I posted I kinda figured out Kai’s would be fear of failing lol! But all these ideas for Ardan are great!!! Thx yall!!

@anatra23 WOW I LOVE THIS thank u!

@koshka oh yes the need, gotta remember that lol! Thx for reminding me lol

@e-k-seaver Would I like to sprint? Yes. Do I have homework to do? Yes.

@elishavet-pidyon

*Smiles at the names*
I love the ending! I may change ‘Milla was curled up on the ground,’ to ‘I could just see Milla curled up on the ground,’ or something like that. But then again, I don’t know.
