@elanor Very good! I don’t think my first poems were anything like that. One of my earliest poems (and one of my most memorable ones) was about baboons having a fight in a tree.  It’s was an acrostic that spelled out BAD. By that information you can probably tell how BAD the poem actually was.

Okay, my turn. I love this one!

. . . ? Should I ask or not 🤔. I could either make or break your day.

Oh well! Poems like what? (Rules of the game: For every poem you posted, I get to post one.)

Sounds fun!

I don’t remember if his backstory was mentioned, but I think not. Hmm…it would be interesting. Here are a few random questions;

• Does he view ridge-runners in the same light as children?
• Has he ever been a Strander?
• Does he remember before Gnag?
• What is his motive/ does he believe what he is doing is wrong?

@kathleenramm Thanks! I thought that the poem was pretty awesome too. (If I do say so myself. . . which I did)

Advice? 🤔 Hmmm. . . well I would say that if you want to write poetry, you need to get a desk job that has really boring and monotonous work that once you get done with you have over an hour of down time where there is basically nothing…[Read more]

It appears that I am now a loyal sidekick. So. . . does that mean I’m a loyal kick in the side, which would make me a loyal pain?

@godlyfantasy12 I have very similar problems with figuring out what my characters want? It is so important to the story and yet it can be so hard to find. With that being said, I would guess that your guy might have several goals.

Possible goal 1) He wants to live a ‘normal’ life, and doesn’t want anyone to know about his scars.

As a guy, I…[Read more]

As a guy, I can understand this. We tend to dislike and sometimes fear revealing our emotions. Even if we…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

(LOL)

Especially when the reader doesn’t see it coming. Bwahaha!

Yeah, I wasn’t sure I liked it either untill I started researching some stuff, then it sort of exploded. XD For instance, one of my kingdoms uses a lunar calendar, but I when I started working it out I got carried away, so now there’s a separate calendar for each of…[Read more]

Hi! I have randomly hopped on.

@joy-caroline

I’ll have to check that out. =)

(Wondering how in the world you’re going to wrap up SaM.)

Favorite tropes? I’m not sure yet. I love absolutely crushing my main carries deep into the ground (but not like most authors), then redeeming them/making something beautiful of their story. (Ok,…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yes, they’re wolves. It’s still in first draft form, but… I like it. =) Thanks!

I think it ate my thingy. Maybe I made it long. I shall try again.

Its a full scene, not a line, but anyway…

Flickers of light glinted back, caught on gossamers in the murky darkness. Holding the torch as high as the cavern roof allowed, Meyani crept down stairs, counting each crumbling step. Two-and-ten, three-and-ten, four-and-ten…

A heap o…[Read more]

Well, I have been working on this scene for some time now, mulling it over it in my mind, so I finally wrote it down, even though I haven’t gotten near this part of my book yet. Its not exactly a line- a whole scene to be exact. But anyway…

@kathleenramm

Classical. I grew up on it, so the older vocabularies don’t bother me. The depths in story, the mixture of poetry in prose, all the types and shadows… I feel more at home with classics than modern literature.

But I haven’t read much truly old stuff beyond Pilgrim’s Progress, some Shakespeare, and Canterbury Tales (which I do not…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Welp, I love revising. Writing itself is difficult and obnoxious.

Let me rephrase that; I enjoy writing, but I struggle turning off the strong-minded inner editor who then destroys all my work because it’s in first draft stage and therefore terrible. However, as rewriting is my favorite part of writing in general I usually don’t…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Thank you!!!! They’re doing such an awesome job of it, I might actually try to watch some when it comes out!

And that probably sounded strange. Explanation; being someone blessed with an extremely vivid imagination I find myself disappointed by movie adaptations of books I perhaps only skim read.

But this looks good, so I…[Read more]

Aha! Where do I find it?
