@kate-flournoy Just tagging you because you’re normally into this. If you want to do it, I’ll get you your own doc.

@that_writer_girl_99 Research English longbowmen. They were the best of the best and traditional bowmanship was a bit different than today. Like English bowmen sometimes used 100lb draw bows, which just makes us all look like epic wimps basically.

@bella-d Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever even heard of her. What do you like about her?

@bella-d That’s so cool you write historical fiction. Some of us on here do, but the vast majority write fantasy. I write both, and other genres as well. Who’s your favorite historical character?

@rochellaine Yep, it’s called contemporary fiction.

@that_writer_girl_99 Okay. Well, there are a lot of swords, but this will cover all you need.

• One handed sword. The handle is only big enough for one hand. You’re probably going to use this in conjunction with a shield.
• One and a half handed sword. The handle is just the right size to fit two hands, but it can also be comfortably handled with…

@that_writer_girl_99 Okay. Well, if I just spewed out everything I could possibly tell you, we’d be here for quite some time. Could you narrow things down any? What do you need to decide on for your novel?

Also, if you haven’t yet, check out this article I wrote.

@that_writer_girl_99 I have fired compound, recurve, and longbows before, but I’m certainly not an expert on them. If you have any questions on handheld weapons though (especially swords), I’d be happy to help.

@itisastarrynight Blogs, like social media, serve two potential purposes. 1, To promote yourself/get people on your email list. 2, To interact with readers. Actually, they also serve a third purpose of helping you get used to writing regularly.

If you really want your blog to be a major way you promote yourself, you need to blog about something…[Read more]

What Kate and MNValentine said.

@warrioroftherealm ehehe… well they better not be, because I’m using them. 😛

No, honestly, I think they are. But then, so is a lot of other stuff. I’m confident using ‘elementals’ in my work because the system, while it does incorporate elements, isn’t just about elements. In fact the element part is probably one of the least important bits.…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 this is my favorite image site: https://pixabay.com/

Like all image sites, it has some questionable content if you poke in the wrong corners, but overall it’s pretty good.

@perfectfifths Well, anything, but I think particularly descriptions/sentence structure. I want to make sure it flows just right and is easy to envision.

@perfectfifths Yes, I sent it via email. If you haven’t got the invitation, here’s a link to it.

Ha! I’m writing a story actually with music based magic, so, yes, it can be done.

@perfectfifths Thanks. Just sent you an invitation to a google doc.

Hi, @medomfo. Glad you joined us!

Does the symbol in your profile picture come from anywhere? It just feels like it must belong to some sort of organization.

@that_writer_girl_99 Thanks!

I just sent you an invitation via google docs.

That’s not easily done. 😀

@mnvalentine At the moment, I’m writing fantasy too. It’s great stuff! 😀 I consider myself a genre hopper though. I’ve written historical fiction and time travel in the past. I have six fantasy books planned for right now, but once I’m done with those I’ll probably try a biblical fiction trilogy and then who knows what.
