That sounds a lot like Cloak of Light.

@esther-c

XD Well good! Glad it was helpful. Don’t worry too much over the whole “Gracious but this draft needs so much work” problem. You’ve already put in a ton of work and learned so much just to get to this point in the drafting process. You can do this! It’s worth it. (plus, hey, we’re all in this thing too…writer’s are crazy)

Just goes to…

And I would like to throw in something that might be totally unrelated to what you’re dealing with, but it was a bit of a shock to me and had me seriously rethinking how I address certain topics in my books.

(Warning. Mentions of suicide.)

In my recent Psychology class we discussed aproaches to suicide awareness, and the results were mildly…[Read more]

@esther-c

This is a very good question.

But I suppose it comes down to what the reader sees is going on and what the character sees–and those don’t have to be the same. In this case, shouldn’t be.

I’m in the middle of rereading Screwtape Letters. One of the letters tells about how that sin has pleasure attached, and how that pleasure actually…[Read more]

Yay! okay, y’all. Expect to see another instalment by the end of the week.

welp, let’s see it this one goes through…

@loopylin

Yes! That would actually be really helpful. XD

Oh, I know. Me too.

Okay, I’ve been thinking about starting a challenge in January to read a poem every day. It’s something I’ve seen elsewhere as a way to help develop smoother, more lyrical prose.

I’m thinking that if you don’t have a good poet on hand for the day, a psalm will do. And there’s no penalty for missing a day, just a challenge to see if you can get in…[Read more]

@loopylin

That is really cool. I like it. It had me engrossed.

Thank you for sharing!

@grcr

Not that bored? Lol.

@grcr

Would you like to do statistics homework with me? XD

*Deep bow*

Delighted to be of service.

@rae

Hmm. That is an interesting method. Does actually sound better than what I’m used to.

@theducktator

Wait, you too? Do you mean like a kind of cranberry jelly salad?

XD

Sorry…

Ooof. I have way too many MCs. I’ll just pick my more current WIPs and forget about the back burners.

From Gold Eyes: The Wolves’ Tale I originally wrote Zlati and Vulka because I wanted to have twin characters who were copy-paste nor polar opposites–in other words, normal fraternal twins with full personalities and real twin dynamics (later in…[Read more]

Also…

I’m glad you people like cranberry sauce. It’s fun to make.

Still don’t get why people eat it though. And on turkey no less. *gags*

@theducktator

I don’t want him permanently dead. 🙁

But when Tomorrow came, no posting was somethinged…

*back door creaks open*

So, I’m not joining back in, but I am avidly stalking, and the Seven Minutes phrase sparked this scene to mind (don’t know how) so you can blame that for this weirdness. Enjoy.

Seven minutes until dinner. The Master chef stood in the center of the kitchen, white leather boots glued in place. Literally. His glare…[Read more]

**SPOILER DISCUSSED THROUGHOUT POST**

Hmm…I guess they could do what the book does with that spot pic of the First Well at the end. As if they’re saying “see, they found the well. Everything is going to be okay.” And then have Andrew Peterson come on and explain a bit. Or just end it with a couple flashbacks and have Janner’s Lay…[Read more]
