Thanks! It will be fun to try, at least. 🙂

I know! It’s so funny. I’m looking forward to yours too.

@joy-caroline

Hi! Sorry it took so long to reply, I was a few sentences from finishing my response yesterday, but my phone died. Vamoose!!! There went the past hours’ work. So, now that I’ve finally gotten back….

I think so too. 😉 It’s not used to it’s potential (but the, it’s not cliche either).

Especially then. Oy, a sacrificial character…[Read more]

@lydia-s

Thanks! I have some more contemplative lines, especially in the one where he’s given charge of the heir. You know, the whole “here I am, guarding one who’s father I let die. I hope this doesn’t get him killed too.”

But Wilfred has a resilient humor that I’ve had fun expounding on.

Yes, fanfics are great!

Yours sounds so good. That’s a…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Haha, ugh. I’ll have to finish it. It was actually somewhere in Waterloo that I bottomed out. After a few attempts to read on, I returned the book to the library.

Yes! A complex backstory is like honey in sourdough. Technically not necessary, but important if you want to make good dinner rolls. 😉

As for a favorite trope? Well,…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

XD Oh no! Yeah, I would like him to live longer, but I think it’s an important plot point, character struggle, and place to relate to the reader. He is a protagonist, though, so… I don’t know. For a complete confession, (and funny fact) I actually made his character starting from his death and moving backward. It’s been an…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Ugh, yes. Why, oh, why must authors think they have to – or that it’s just fine if they do? IT’S GOD’S WORD, not a toy?! And like you said, the Bible is moving in itself. No need for embellishment.

*Heavy sigh*

ANYWAY….

The Life of Jesus, you say? I’ll have to look into it.

Okay, that’s fine! I understand. (Why can I still…[Read more]

@autumn-rebecca

Exactly. 😉

@keilah-h

Me too. Especially when it’s unexpected, like when it appears that the antagonist has “bested” the protagonist, but then in a few words that changes. XD

@autumn-rebecca

Anytime!

@autumn-rebecca

Yeah, this stage doesn’t want to end. There’s so much to sort out!

Welcome! If you want to know about anything particular about his books, I’d be glad to help, if I can. 🙂

Did you know that at one time the English banned bagpipes as weapons of war? The Scotts used them like battle horns, and according to records, the bagpipe’s…[Read more]

@autumn-rebecca

Aww, it’s so sweet and musical. I like how you incorporated melody into it, and your description of Aaria’s death is beautiful. It’s one of those stories that obviously has a backstory but more isn’t really needed.

@autumn-rebecca

Thank you! I’m still in the plotting-building stage, but I think I like how it’s going.

I haven’t read beyond his Arethtrae series, but what I’ve read of his is good. We really like the Knights of Arethtrae.

Bagpipes can sound sad…and warlike.

Hmm, Geechee sounds interesting; I’ve never heard of it. Why do you like…[Read more]

@autumn-rebecca

Hi there! It’s good to meet you! (Sorry if I’m a bit late)

I’m Elishavet, and I have two main WIPs. One is about three children, heirs of a crumbling kingdom. (Dramatic!) The second is a retelling of various testimonies in an allegorical world (Sneaky!).
Your non-fiction sounds lovely. (I get the intimidating part)
I think I…[Read more]

I saw redish too.

Also I didn’t see that part quite like the illustrator did, so I was shocked when I saw that pic. (I was reading it on my phone, hence the delay between scene and pic) I agree with the proportions, but why wasn’t my imagination consulted before the picture was drawn? XD

It’s okay. I’m used to it. My imagination usually sees…[Read more]

OooOooOooo, everyone’s covers are intriguing….

@trahia-the-minstrel

Ah, Eirtan…I guess Yartas might not be the only other country in the brother-nations. 😉

S. isn’t in there, but Amichai is. 😉

I’ve been thinking a good route might be making the cover look like an old leather bound book with images embossed (like a Shepherd’s crook,…[Read more]

Your series is beautiful. I usually don’t read Biblical fiction, because sometimes authors deviate from scripture which only serves to confuse my view of a Bible character. Yours sounds so good, though, and I’m excited to see where you’ll take it!

Awww,  Seth sounds like a wonderful character to write and read about. I have a similar person in…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Wow! Those are amazing. The layout is intriguing, and I think it’s awesome that you’re doing your own cover art! I want to do mine as well, but first I have to sort out my plot. (And settle on what layout, media, even characters to use) 😉

Anyway, those are astounding. Also, for a rough sketch, the top girl in the second…[Read more]

@autumn-rebecca

Hmm, maybe! You’re most certainly welcome to. Your story sounds interesting indeed!!!

That opening post was a bit unclear. (Oops) I was in a poetic mood at the time of its authorship.

@joy-caroline

Thank you for your wonderful imput, it was encouraging. Don’t worry about being late to reply. I’m often not the quickest myself,…[Read more]

@keilah-h Aww, thank you! 🙂

Yeah, that kind of tongue-in-cheek wit is a bit prevalent in my writing. It’s not always a good thing…but I like it here. 😉

Welcome! 😉

*Note* I was wondering the same thing as @anatra23. Is it a dialogue?
