Elishavet Elroi replied to the topic Wingfeather Saga in the forum Book Discussions 2 years, 9 months ago
Yes! That is the beauty of it – the gainful death, if you read the epigraph. It holds conviction and hope in the same hand.
I hope the doc helps! 😉 By the by, if you read the doc and want to comment, feel free! We, my sister and I, enjoy hearing feedback.
It’s really just a continuation of the epilogue that Peterson…[Read more]

Elishavet Elroi replied to the topic I finally read Green Ember!! in the forum Book Discussions 2 years, 9 months ago
Ugh, yes! But still, it’s fun to wait and guess what will happen, even if you go mad from the anticipation. XD
It’s really good! I have heard that the first book can be a bit slow, and a friend of ours never really got hooked because of the gentle introduction. Like Keilah H. said, it gets very active!

Elishavet Elroi replied to the topic Forgiveness Character arc in the forum Plotting 2 years, 9 months ago
Hmm, forgiveness arcs…
First, huzzah for you book! Forgiveness is a powerful theme.
As for examples, I’ve heard that The Count of the Monte Cristo has an amazing forgiveness plot thingy, and Les Miserables has one too, if I’m not mistaken. Koshka already mentioned the others I can think of.

Welcome! That’s interesting. Now I wonder how much my characters were influenced by books I’ve read. Probably quite a bit.
In Eirtan, my character’s features were actually inspired by the countries I was blending. For the series I’ve mainly ranted about on here, Aethel resulted in an attempt of mine to create a character with long,…[Read more]

Elishavet Elroi replied to the topic I finally read Green Ember!! in the forum Book Discussions 2 years, 9 months ago
YAY! I’m so glad you liked it too!
Our family has enjoyed this series immensely. Not only were the books great, but we were guessing things that were very close to the actual outcome. (We got hooked before release of Ember Rising, so there was lots of room for speculation.) You know, The key the heirs hold. XD We read a little too muc…[Read more]

Your characters sound (or look?) really good. You’re very creative!

Good. I won’t worry then. 🙂
Yeah, my writing style shifts between very wordy to rather sparse. Tain’t the best. Tweren’t the worst. XD
Hmm. I like my different series for their various reasons. The duology is the least worked out, so I’m only calling it a duology because I don’t know how much material it actually contains. I’m…[Read more]

Cool! Btw, would you consider ever starting a cover design business if you enjoy cover designing? I definitely wouldn’t because although making covers is fun, I’m not so good at it, lol.
I totally would, if I was decent by at it! XD Honestly, I don’t know if I’m good at it or not, and I’ve never tried digital drawing either, so the…[Read more]

Elishavet Elroi replied to the topic I'm giving you permission to rant about your WIP in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 10 months ago
Yeah, the characters are really fun. (By the way, I love the part in the end where the book offhandedly mentions his later use for the ring to avoid unwanted visitors. XD)
Sometime I’ll read them too. Whenever sometime is.
I also have trouble being satisfied with a cover idea(hopefully that just means I haven’t found the right…[Read more]

Ok, sorry it’s taken a while for me to respond. Every time I’d sit down to write my reply, something (or most likely somebody) would call me away. Ugh!
Anyway, I’m back. (And it wasn’t too long of an absence)
Yes, they can be very stubborn, and thanks!
Oooh, a duology does sound fun. And that is really exciting! One of my series…[Read more]

Elishavet Elroi replied to the topic Just imagine. . . in the forum Start HERE 2 years, 10 months ago
Thanks! and no, I haven’t written a series or a novel for that matter (I have attempted novels but couldn’t get them to tell me their plots. Finally, I have found some more honest books. Hopefully.).
Have you written any series and/or novels?
Evren and L sound like fun characters! I once tried to base a character off myself, but…[Read more]

Hello! I’m Elishavet (And a bit late, sorry.). It’s good to meet you, and welcome to the forum!
You like G. K. Chesterton? His essays or his books? I love his essays, especially Twelve Men, The Dragon’s Grandmother, and the one about his pockets (the latter I quote not unfrequently.).
Anyway…. Questions.
What is your…[Read more]

(Your welcome! ❤️)
Oooh, the first draft will be done soon? That’s so exciting! (I hope to have two of mine plotted out by the end of this month. The first books in two separate series.)
Evren or L, you say? Those are fascinating names. What are these different reasons? (If it’s shareable. I understand if not.)
Rambling is fun!…[Read more]

Imagine a girl somewhere between 14 – 18 years of age, somewhere between this world and a million others. Someone for whom “reality” is curiously like a mirror, reflecting a reality even more real and dangerous and beautiful than itself.Â
You might end up with me.

Elishavet Elroi replied to the topic Have you ever considered writing under a pseudonym, and why or why not? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 10 months ago
I have considered it, but since nothing I’ve written has reached publication, I never have.
Most of my pen name ideas are nerdy distortions of my real name (like Elishavet Pidyon, for instance) whereof I loved the meaning.
Why? Well, I don’t know where God wants me to go or do, and I’d rather not have my name out there, easily…[Read more]

Aw man, death scenes for our beloved characters are always like a punch in the gut. *sobs* I have some pretty heartwrenching deaths in the Life of Sacrifice series. We writers really are crazy. XD
*Moans* Yes, it hurts. We writers really are crazy. We create such traumatic scenes despite the suffering they will inevitably give to the…[Read more]

Elishavet Elroi replied to the topic Calling everyone but particularly twins, triplets, and brothers (or sisters)! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 10 months ago
Hellooo! I am the younger twin of a girl-girl set.
Congratulations on incorporating multiples! It is an interesting crazy fun journey ahead. 😉
Also, it’s stupendous that you have triplets in your WIP, since most books settle for twins. (Which is great, except that there is so much unseen potential in the other kinds of multiples.)
So…[Read more]

Your series is sounding so fun! I don’t know if it’s weird for a girl to end up having a lot of male MCs, but it happens to me too. Many times I’ll start with a female MC, and then end up writing her brother/father as MC. It’s getting a tad bit annoying. XD

I know, it’s awful. If I don’t cry while writing his trial and/or *cough* (spoiler emitted for the benefit of the blissfully unaware few 😉 ) scene…. I don’t think that particular scene will ever make it into the book outside of flashbacks from Winifrith and possibly William. I don’t know. It sorta happens in between two books,…[Read more]
