*sniffles* YES! I confess, I was going to kill Deek in the early drafts of the story, but it wasn’t going to be until the final arc of the last book. And he was going to sacrifice himself for Caira, so that makes it even more heartbreaking🙁 Haha, I’m glad I changed my mind too. Aw, thanks for wanting to read them, and I definitely un…[Read more]

Oh, it’s okay, girl!!! I really appreciate that you want to read them–it means so much to me that people want to read my chapters!! 🙂 Unfortunately, yes, you’d need to read the second chapter to understand what’s going on. But don’t feel obligated to read it! I understand that you’ve been busy, so it’s no problem. Take your time!…[Read more]

I’m not sure if this belongs in the ‘book aesthetics’ category, but I’ve been trying my hand at using Artbreeder lately and wanted to create Birch Woods for you!! Unfortunately, Artbreeder didn’t have any birch trees, but I just thought I’d try creating a winter forest (I hope you don’t mind! If you don’t like it, please tell me.) If…[Read more]

OH MY GOSH!!!  THAT IS AMAAAZING, GRACE!!  I’M SO HAPPY WITH IT, AND SEEING IT ON A PAGE MAKES ME SOOO INSPIRED!!!!!!!  EEEKK, YAYAYAYAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING IT, I’M SO HAPPY WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(sry if you get a headache from that, but i’m serious, you’ve got talent, it looks amazing. 😲)

@joy-caroline Ooo, awesome question!!  Hmm, let’s see.  Well, a lot of my inspiration comes from the little things:

• characters in movies
• pictures
• people (on the street, at school, at the grocery store/park)
• prompts/aesthetics on Pinterest
• dialogue
• weird “what if” questions that know one but me would ask myself, lol
• the news
• song l…

And here’s Evie, who is another one of Caira’s friend as well as her mentor. She looks a bit older than I usually picture her, but *shrug* oh well. Maybe I’ll redo her.

Is it all right if I post a couple of my own? 🙂

The first one is Alana Hargreaves, a shepherdess/Caira’s best friend/Deek’s love interest at one time/another main character. It’s about 79% accurate to how she looks.

@gracie-j

I know!! But it’s okay–I’m very thankful that you’re helping me out with this!! Fortitude is forever in your debt *bows* Aww, thank you!! You have no idea how much that means, especially to a girl writing her first novel! I admire all of you on here and it makes me feel all warm inside that you guys like my writing! Thank you a m…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms

Oh my goodness, really??? Yay, definitely! I’d love to see you create my girl Caira (I treat my characters like they’re my children so excuse me for that XD), and really? Awesome! 😀

@scripter-of-kingdoms

Ah, neat!! I’ll definitely look into that, thank you for telling me!! I’m always excited to put my writing into visuals, whether it be characters or landscapes, so this sounds perfect! And thanks for that! I’d love to see what you’ve created!! 😀

(Also, the character you did for @gracie-j slightly, slightly looks like Caira 😛 )

@scripter-of-kingdoms

Ah, I see–well, it doesn’t matter, because it still looks AMAZING! And so do the other pictures! Ah, I need to teach myself how to use this program because it’s so realistic…

@scripter-of-kingdoms

GIRL!!! I am smiling SO HARD right now!!! Oh my goodness, you did a fabulous job with Aldova! *applaudes* Those colors are gorgeous, too!! I can just imagine my characters wandering through there on their journey… THANK YOU SO MUCH for making it for me!!! *gives you chocolate* Please, teach me your ways XD I’d love to…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Aw, thank you, girl!!! 😀 Haha, yea, definitely the guys… I have so many boyfriends I’ve lost count XD

Oh, really? Awesome! November sounds super cool 😉

@abigail-m

Okay, so I think this was the reply meant for your post in the ‘Character Chat’ topic XD I got my replies mixed up and accidentally posted this one here, so forgive me. Anyways, I’ll just reply to your other post here as well!

Yes, exclamation points/all caps/XD’s/ 🙂 ‘s are just way too tempting to use!!! And of course!! Haha, yeah,…[Read more]

@gracie-j

*bows* Thank you, dear friend, for saving my life with this! You’ve been immensely helpful with these links! And thank you so much for saying that!:) It means a lot that you’re excited to read it (I mean, I really look up to/admire all of you authoresses here on KP, so it means the world when you want to read my first novel!) Again,…[Read more]

@Abigail-m

No, I saw it in my notifications 🙂 Not to worry! And oh my goodness, I nearly made you cry? I’m so sorry, but also I had no idea it was that meaningful! Yeah, it was going to be pretty sad (especially for Caira) and the epilogue would’ve felt empty without him:( But yes, he definitely is willing to sacrifice himself for her if…[Read more]

@mkfairygirl

Yeah, of course you did!!! I’ll try to work on it today if I can 😉 And I’ll definitely send a pic when I make it!:) Thank you so much for saying that! I get so nervous that my writing isn’t good and feel like it needs to be perfect whenever I post, but I guess that’s what improvement and critiquing are all about! There’s still some…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Ooh, awesome question!:D I wish I had an awesome answer for it, but my process (if it can be called that) is kinda messy and changes depending on the project. For instance, my current novel started out as an idea from a photo I saw in a magazine. Then much later on, I drew up a few pages of illustrations of my MC, symbols, home,…[Read more]
