Honestly, Mom bought the Chuck Black Kingdom Series, and I never got past the third chapter of the first one. I don’t feel for the characters, so it’s boring.
OHHHH…**Lightbulb moment** Okay, yeah, I guess I’ve done that once or twice, but not often at all. Actually, I should do that more often. I’ve done it mentally with my favorite…[Read more]

Hey! How’s it going?
I was just catching up on the most recent posts on this Apologetics forum as there always seem to be interesting conversations brewing here.
I’m totally down to continue our previous conversation or move to a new one (the questions you asked in your most recent posts are quite fascinating) do you have any…[Read more]

Actually, I don’t think those questions have been asked before. Congrats!
Who is your favorite character to write and why? Nahim Alfred Nayhelm, last of his family-clan. I know him as well as if he were my sibling (except whether he would like vanilla or chocolate ice cream, as far as I know, he’s never had it.)
What is your favorite…[Read more]

Okay… to answer your question, not cottagecore, nor dark academia, nor piratecore. I guess the vibe would be kind of adventure? Warrior? Ugh, this is not going well…think of star wars, but different galaxy, different characters, different plots, and one step above tech wise. Oh, and mandalorian viewpoint, but different.…[Read more]

@arcaneaxiom
Interesting. What lead to some of the names? Metamorphs your clearly deriving from metal morphs, but everyone will think of the prefix meta and not metal, suggesting that they are not related to metal, but are instead referred to as surreal, creative, or unique by nature. Half dragons are often referred to as Dracotaurs,…[Read more]

Favorite book? Lord of the Rings, most likely the Fellowship of the Ring by a millimeter, and that could change any time. Strider takes it away for me.
Do you have a WIP? If so what is it about? yes, I’m worldbuilding my fantasy and writing the revision draft of my first real book, Guardian Angels, as sci-fi following the life of a…[Read more]

That’s what I don’t know. I have no idea what branch my Great Grandfather was in so researching gets harder. I could ask my Grandpa, but right now he’s on vacation, and he most likely can’t tell me.
The North…boring. An open field to me is strange and enchanting, food is a mix of whatever the person feels like. We barely…[Read more]

Yeah, there are the nagas who have a great skill with knives and a whole bunch of other stuff, but I zoned out at that pint of his explanation. The Metamorphs (I named them) who are shape-shifting metal aliens. The Dragons (no idea if they have another name yet) like half human and half dragon. Oh and homosupero, basically the…[Read more]

At this point, many planets of the Wond galaxy has developed space travel. My “planets of significance” would be the tri-solar system of the Realn (Alick, Lortin, Banor, Laxor, Rea, and Mithlon) and Wond.
The Wond Galaxy is my own, though some of the inhabitants and ideas are C’s. C rules the Universe with his fettoians…[Read more]

The Wond Galaxy is vast and I plan to explore it to as far as I may in my stories, but this short story in only on one planet. Sharp-as-a-blade contrast to my book where it feels weird when Nahim’s not going anywhere! Though, I do lean to making stories about the Realn or including the Realn more than anything else. I plan to fix that some time.

It’s not perfect, I haven’t changed it since last year, so there might be some really bad mistakes just to warn you. Also, it lacks some world building I’ve done since then, like the months are Earthling and not Realn, plus the name for God, et cetera. Anyway, without further intro, this is my short story…

“Glad to hear it’s appreciated. I sometimes worry that we’re overwhelming the new person lol!”
All you have to worry about with me is getting a short answer on something I know, love, and understand! I’m not easily offended unless someone steps to close to something I keep close to heart, but they rarely know if they did, and on here, I d…[Read more]

I love CC. It’s a little expensive though, especially for a Challenge kid, but it’s the best homeschool co-op we’ve found around where I live. For American Documents, we don’t have chapters we read, but we read documents from American history and Annotate and summarize some of them. Readin gis fine, but Annotating and summarizing are…[Read more]

To True. At one point I tried to switch out terms, but readers don’t get it. They picked up a FANTASY and they don’t even see the word that makes the genre so famous.

I’m already having an amazing time! Thanks!
yeah, he was just a German. Which leads to the fun fact that I’m over a quarter German. I used to be ashamed of my heritage until, we discovered that my Great Grandfather actually might have helped save the Jews! That’s the main reason I wanted to write a book. A Christian man in a…[Read more]

I look forward to meeting all of you more in depth, I could not believe how many of you were willing to say hi to a new kid. I am (or used to be) on the Story Embers forum, and there was only one person who answered my hello post. This is great!

Both. It depends on the subject. I go hard on subjects I’ve run through my mind over and over again until I’m sure that this is the way. Soft on subjects I don’t understand or don’t want the reader to focus on because it’s not the main point.
Your next question…No idea. Just to many. But if it’s Tolkien, you can safely be that…[Read more]

What inspires my writing? many things. A Trail ride on horseback makes me think of a calming scene in fantasy with elves and such if it is a beautiful fall day like it was today, actually. For my current bok, my emotions and what my heart says. Often I pour out my heart in my writing, twisting it as the word touch the page to…[Read more]

Oops, sorry, sent that too early.
Anytime I can. I write at least something (even if it’s just a couple sentences haha) everyday.
Hands down, my favorite character I’ve ever written is Nahim (nay-him) my MC of Guardian Angels. He and I are like siblings at this point. Actually, if you want to meet him, I’ve got a short story about…[Read more]
