A good thesaurus comes in very handy. 😉

@thelobsterlover

Hmm, well, those activity things didn’t worked for me, so I tagged you here. (Sharing images on here is troublesome for me too)

Ooo, I can’t wait to see it!

Here’s a link to my email;If this works.

@trahia-the-minstrel

Congratulations!! I shall check it out for sure.

@godlyfantasy12

What I meant by “lost over an entire line” is that in stanza 1 you have 11 lines, in stanza 2 you have 12 lines, and in stanza 3 you have 11 lines, but in stanza 4 you only have 9-10 lines (It appears that I may have made a mistake on line 41. It might need to be split between “here” and “since”.) If you look at the syllable count…[Read more]

And please acquit me for being impulsively apologistic. 😳😋

And please forgive the terrible grammar. 🙄 I’m rereading through my post and . . . 😬

Here’s the poem in stanzaic form.

(Line number)

1   O’ Ring the bell! Call out the clowns! 8 (Syllables in Line/Beats) A (Rhyme Scheme)

Tis time to fly on wings of doubt, 8 A

And float upon the breeze of bliss, 8 B

forgetting all the things you’ll miss. 8 B

5   Don’t fear the things that lie ahead, 8 C

the dangers, darkness, fear and…[Read more]

I suppose Natalia is sort of that entire known world, but for some reason it seemed to me more like a kingdom in a wild, unknown land.

I wonder if there’s a thing on here for Antagonist development. Or maybe we should start a new one.

Uniqueness… That may turn out to be a struggle, especially as I’m not entirely…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Ooo, I like that last bit.

I can’t exactly see the rhyme and meter as the stanzas are written together in paragraph form, but what I could I enjoyed. Would you mind reposting it in verses (If it was written as such)?

@annabelle

*Grimaces*

Bonnifer certainly did more damage. Hmm, maybe that should be taken as a warning; Garten betrayed his king and broke a kingdom, Bonnifer twisted a child and shattered a world.

*Sigh* My antagonists are either vague or already dead. They need work, but as I’m not sure who several of them are…

Bonnifer is as bad a Garten Longtreader, if not worse… He is well written though.

@annabelle

Slarb… Slarb… Yes, that sounds right. Not him either, the grotesque poltroon. Fangs are just horrible, I suppose.

@lana-blanchard

I never really thought of it as beautiful, just home.

Yep. XD

Snow is good, as long as you don’t have to travel in it and the power doesn’t go out.

I do like living here. We have strong churches and ——-. (I vehemently dislike politics)

I have never moved, but as my parents were both born in other states (to Texas folks)…[Read more]

@lana-blanchard

I live in the Piney woods of East Texas, so round topped pines and ceder (The type of evergreens that explode pollen in the spring). We don’t get much snow, and when we do it’s usually just a dusting on top of ice, and it never stays long. However, every other year or so, we get a winter storm around February. The roads, and…[Read more]

@avacoulter

Whoof, I’m back! (I was drowning in school and responsibility.)

XD half of what my family says is already quoting Spider-Man and Lord of the Rings rn.

Italian, I believe was what the song was originally written in. (quickly (and shamelessly) googles) Nvm, it’s Neapolitan lol. I learned to play it for my piano recital last month, and…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

Brilliant first chapter(and second, I suppose). Riveting. Fast-paced, easily retainable, and entertaining(but plz don’t let it get to your head).

Sheesh, nine-year-olds those days, very desensitized.

I wanna agree with @power on the running sentences, though I think the chapters flowed pretty well together. Not…[Read more]

I don’t like Bonnifer. At all. Or Weaver. I mean, I could almost (but definitely not) prefer Oster Will. However, I don’t know which one I dislike the most.

@lana-blanchard

The most beautiful place… My family has traveled much around the US to see family, so it’s hard to decide. Or remember.

• Tacoma Narrows and the Puget Sound with the tide rushing in.
• An overlook near Snoqualmie Pass (In the winter).
• This valley in Wyoming where you can stand on one rise and look across at the mountains…

My mom would probably be close to the top of the list when it came to impacting my writing because,

1) I wouldn’t even be here if it hadn’t been for her. 😉

2) She chose what school curriculum I used growing up since I was homeschooled. This was a big effort on #3

3) I hated reading, and was proud of the fact. It was hard for me. My mother…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Nope. I think I’m with @godlyfantasy12 on this one. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard of the Author Conservatory until this post. Interesting.
