Ok, so I don’t know if you’re still working over miracles, signs, and wonders, but I thought I’d join in, if it’s all right.

I understand how miracle scenes can fall flat. God is so amazing, and our best writings are so inadequate to describe Him.

Then what to do when writing miracles? Well, what do we do when we see miracles? Do…[Read more]

Yeah, it’s not really plagiarism…. I just have a talent for unwittingly using names others have either used or used similar ones. The funniest thing, is that the names aren’t usually common. I make them up myself.

Ah, that blissful book! There have been many times I’ve quoted the Hermit to myself….

Spinach coupons? Sorry, I’m all out, some giant orange lizard stole them all.

I do well on my college papers, have helped write a longish skit/short play, write poetry reasonably often, short stories less often, and ramble on in a most dignified manner over the history of the Brother-nation’s music.

I too create stories and worlds with little…[Read more]

@libby

I’m pretty much like that. I love writing, whether it’s a story or an essay, but I doubt I’ll ever do it as a career. As a hobby I can see doing it, and about every profession uses writing skills.

I don’t know yet how far it will influence my “real” life, or whether I’ll even ever get anything published. All I know is that I don’t want to…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Thank you!!!

It is rather crazy.

*Starting to wonder if I have a talent for accidental plagiarism or if this is just another mad coincidence.  Then realises what the Hermit of the Southern March would say to that, and shuts mouth.*

@avacoulter

Greetings!

I’m Elishavet, and I’m glad to meet you. I am also rather new to serious writing (and KP)

I am also a homeschooler, Annieran(at times), and love poetry.

Oh, and cats. Our family has two, and my first attempt at a novel length book was about them and their conflicted relations with a large dog kingdom.

…And that as…[Read more]

“We spent yesterday up a tree. Literally. We had only been on the road for, maybe two hours, when we heard wolves. I pushed him (Smalden) up a tree and told him to climb for his life.”

@lydia-s

Sure, I’d be thrilled to share them now that my Chromebook is up again!

Yeah, my fanfics aren’t exactly my best writing either, but they are such fun. For my part I have especially enjoyed illustrating different character’s personalities through Wilfred’s journal. Smalls is a rather entertaining youngling, and Wilfred is such a capable…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

Ugh. That is VERY annoying. I have had similar things happen, and I could have sued someone.

A funny story though: So I have a country in one of my WIPs that is called Dorwin. The citizens were called Dorwinians. Imagine my shock when I read the Hobbit and found out the elves have Dorwinian wine. The amazed, even fascinated,…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Oh dear. Peeks at random note book scribbles. Quickly hides them.

I started a few stories that I have never finished (most of them were for school. All one needs to know right there.). The last one was about Avery, Son of the Wood – *cough*. So basically, there are two groups of people, the Plainsmen and the Wood People (they were…[Read more]

Amen.

I love finding out the scriptures through chasing down an allegory.

@elanor

John 10:30!  🙂

@madelyn

Exactly. Fanny’s humility and quiet strength are so underrepresented in modern literature. My favorites of her books are probably Persuasion, Mansfield Park, Pride and Prejudice, and Northanger Abbey (that last one is her lightest work, in my opinion).

OooooOooOo, yes. I hope my books turn out as good as the authors’ who inspired them.…[Read more]

@madelyn, hi!

So…if your post was belated, so is this reply. Sorry.

I am literally (quite literally) going to rattle my chair apart with exitement. C. S. Lewis, S. D. Smith, Andrew Peterson, Jane Austen, AND Chuck Black?! Sir Dalton is amazing. We just finished listening to Sir Quinlan for the second time this evening. YOU LIKE FANNY PRICE?…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

No, I would not say all the excitement is from the last two books. What I will say is that the last books are powerful and that they drive home the lessons and themes one doesn’t catch at first glance in the earlier books. Wingfeather is one of the few series that gets better as time goes on.

Honestly, I too love…[Read more]

@elanor

Oooooo, it sounds really good, and has a unique flavor.

Finding a gift through captivity? I think you just helped me with one of my WIPs. 🙂

Thank you, it was fun!

Just because, here is an escape cliche pet peeve of mine:

Saying “I think we’ll make it!” just before getting caught.

*Rueful laugh*

This is a great question. I am currently on a quest to seek and destroy cliches, so this is fantastic.

Let’s see.

Work in the personality of your character. Jesper might pick the lock, Picket might (try to) dig out, fight out, etc., and Janner would work the system against itself (and fight like mad if it didn’t work). Every person sees things…[Read more]

@faith-q

When is it okay to rebel? Good question, and here’s my questionably good answer(which is basically what everyone else has said. Those were great answers, ya’ll!). When government goes against what is right or godly, we have to speak up. To go along with evil is a sin, or as the Word says, “to him who knoweth to do good, and doeth it not,…[Read more]

I think the message is clear: READ ON. IT GETS BETTER AND IS TOTALLY WORTH IT!

🙂 😉

And considering this was his first venture into fantasy, and the last book was written after ten years of thought, the series definitely gets better.
