@Elfwing aww thank you 💕

It took a lot of work and prayer to get to this point lol

@Elfwing oh my goodness it’s so rare that I meet other people who like birdwatching!  I know about merlin, but i don’t have a phone 🙁

I really love owls.  So far I’ve seen great horned owls, northern pygmy owls, short eared owls, and a barred owl.  We have tons of turkeys and California quail where i live (i actually was able to feed a wild tu…[Read more]

@elfwing

This was interesting. I loved it. Well written, I had a good idea of the scene and the atmosphere, and even while knowing not much abt your characters, I had a good idea of their personalities. One thing that I think would be helpful here would be (like scoutfinch suggested) a dip into emotion regarding Kaunon. Maybe show a bit more of…[Read more]

Hmmm….Honestly, romance subplots show up a LOT in my stories….but I think you guys have better suggestions than me. And @elfwing, just a question, was the character Gaol flying in his own right, like with wings or something, or did he have like a wingsuit or a glider or something he was wearing or riding?

@nova21

That sounds really interesting! The world where anyone could be insane is so cool and works so well with the MC’s desire for family. It sets up a really clear desire vs fear.

Where did you get the idea for Spirals?

I really love these kind of simple yet really intriguing premises. I tend to overcomplicate things in…[Read more]

@elfwing

I would totally be interested in this! Are you still looking for people?

A couple warnings, I haven’t beta read anything before, so I don’t know how good I would be. Also I’m not sure how long it would take me.

@elfwing

(I’m sorry for not replying sooner) I would love to be your beta reader, but I’m afraid I am too busy at the moment!

Top ten reasons never to let dragonmen or any kind of alien/talking animal/non-human sentient character into a human city…..

1. They are likely to dent people’s cars.
2. They are going to wreck your house if it has a low ceiling.
3. They’re going to gut your pantry. Meaning, they will eat everything in there and still be hungry. They may or may no…

@elfwing

lol This is awesome! XD

@elfwing

I know! I think that’s the very thing that makes him so relatable. We sympathize with him because of all the mental torture he put himself through, but at the same we are annoyed with how mean and pathetic he can be.

It’s not a character you want to relate to because, who wants to be Colin? But his positive character arc gives hope for…[Read more]

@elfwing so I am totally in!

@elfwing

i’m so sorry, but i’m really busy with my job.  I wish I could, and your story sounds fun! i love fantasy.  wish you the best of luck.  you might be able to find more beta readers on Story Embers, or you can search for the “ultimate beta reader list” on Recent Topics.  I can’t remember the tags off hand.  good luck! <33

@elfwing Awww, girl I would love to, but right now I’m beta-ing another book, trying to get through a huge stack of sci-fi library books to expand my horizons (since I’m writing sci-fi, after all XD), editing my own book, and writing a part two book T_T If I can get through all of this though I would love to!!!

@elfwing @gracie-j @issawriter7 @joy-caroline @devastate-lasting @mkfairygirl @daisy-torres @anyone-else

Let’s start this back up! It’s so much fun and makes me want to write more!

Can’t remember which I wrote last so I’ll post both XD

The snake.

Ara screamed, tugging frantically. November yelled out and, with all of his might he hit the snake,…

@ariel-f

That’s interesting. It would be cool to look back through the book to find what exactly it was missing that made you unable to connect. That’s what I love to do when I read a book I don’t like. Pinpoint everything little thing that made me dislike it. It really helps me out with my writing.

Ooo, what book was the best book you’ve read…[Read more]

@elfwing Okay that sounds good! I have never been a beta reader before and am interested but I will need to run it by my parents and pray about it. But I’ll get with u as soon as I have the Go ahead! So u can mark me down as at least a maybe 🤣 if I get the go ahead then it’s a definite yes.

@Elfwing Okay. I’m fine with a little violence. I’m interested in continuing!

@elfwing

I might be interested in doing it, although this would be my first time. What’s the word count?

@elfwing Of course! I’ll let you know if I have time.

@elfwing could I get some more details?

what the book is about and what it contains (language or violence or things to be aware of), how we’d contact and when you’d need everything. (Also how it all works because I’ve never been a beta reader before, but I’m kinda interested. Obviously I’d have to run it by my parents first)
