Is this better?

Here voices scream, ‘You’re still in pain,

This Dream and Hope are all in vain.’

@abigail-m @anatra23

Thank you! My verse is just starting to feel right, if that makes any sense.

The voices are saying that. Would removing the punctuation clear that up, or do I need to do something else?

(YES, the author appreciates it very much!)

@koshka

This is so pretty. I love the emotion!

@abigail-m mentioned this, but quick question,
Is the poem saying:

Here voices scream: “you’re still in pain,

This Dream and Hope are all in vain,“

Or would that be the singer saying that Dreams and Hopes are in vain?

(ty Elishavet, I’m sure the author appreciates it ^-^)

@annabelle

I agree I enjoy his books more, but some of his songs really hit home.

That’s cool that you can teach yourself. Do you use books, or online courses?

@avacoulter

Oh, interesting. What strikes you about Iron Man that you like?

Dear Younger Me is really so beautiful. I’ve never seen I Can Only Imagine, I’ve heard of it, but I don’t know the plot. Is it about MercyMe? My favorite of theirs has got to be Grace Got You.

Cool! I learned to play Water Fountain on piano a little while back. You’re…[Read more]

Are there any things you would change?

Thank you! I loved writing it.

@avacoulter

I just hope Marvel doesn’t start producing junk for money. NWH is gonna be a make it or break it movie for a lot of people.

Ugh, favorite Avenger… so many hard good decisions I really love Hawkeye’s character, especially after Endgame and seeing his growth in the show, but also Steve Rogers–Captain America–and I grew up (yes, I’m…[Read more]

Hullo and welcome. I’m Anatra.

YES Wingfeather Saga! Such a beautiful book series. Andrew Peterson is so talented, have you heard any of his music?

I do a little art… usually only making random ideas that pop into my head and trying to make something beautiful out of them. For instance, recently someone wanted me to draw a c…[Read more]

I wish I knew how to space a story properly back when. Reading back at some old stuff and seeing random bursts of quick action and then time skips, it’s a little frustrating.

Also that my stories don’t have to be a certain length. Oof, I would beat myself up about not having a specific number of words.

@avacoulter

I doubt they’d kill him off in Hawkeye, but in a future movie or series, maybe. He’s just come so far, and now they’re taking all this time to develop him with new characters, so the only reason he would die would be to develop the new friend he made in the tv series.

Marvel ended Tom Holland’s contract?! When did that happen? Is NWH…[Read more]

@avacoulter

No Way Home is exiting! I’m not taking it as seriously as my brother, (he bought tickets the hour they went on sale) but I’m still curious to see where they take it. Especially since a lot of people think Marvel should redeem the Mysterio plot of Far From Home. I’m also very happy a new Spider-Verse movie’s coming out: Spider-man…[Read more]

@avacoulter

I know exactly what you mean. T_T

I do, actually. It is confusing at times, but those trolls…

@avacoulter

Spider-man is top tier–how many Spider-man movies have you seen? Just the Marvel strict, or Andrew Garfield, and Toby Maguire included?
I absolutely loved Bucky’s arc… and definitely not because it gave Rogers more screen time…

Hawkeye is very good so far! It’s a Christmas themed show now, I guess, with how much they’ve woven…[Read more]

@avacoulter

Ah, Wingfeather. I have finished the series and I love it, especially the end. There is so much under the surface in those books, so many deeper meanings. I am also a tad bit of an aspiring poet which thrills over Peterson’s well written verse.

My mother prefers the licorice one. Me, they’re one of the worst regular flavors of…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

It is confusing. But somewhere I heard that apparently if your book is set in some other world it atomaticaly becomes Fantasy. Whether or not that is true, it was helpful, at least to this beginning writer.

I don’t have anything against the type of magic in Narnia and Wingfeather, where ‘magic’ really just means God’s power…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel. @elishavet-pidyon

The Horse and His Boy is my favorite Narnia book! That and the end of The Last Battle. Ah, the Hermit…

Oh my. Yes, I have considered putting an end to my writing endeavors. I have considered deleting/incinerating all my existing work. I still struggle over if being a published author is part of His plan for my life.

But the stories keep growing, deepening, branching out, untill they spill out in some form of other. I’ve tried to smother them, put…[Read more]
