Yay! The topic I wanted to write about today! @daeus nailed the various types of swords (excluding some of the more strange swords, ie. Messers, Falchion, etc.).

I’ve recently gotten into HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) and have done quite a bit of research for sparring with friends. I am mostly interested in German…[Read more]

Welcome to the site @bella-d! Glad you joined us. 🙂 Are you more of a novel, novella, or short story writer?

@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…

@inkling-for-christ The reason why I think the film does do the book justice is becasuse of just how well made and crafted it was in only 15 minutes. This was their way of making something that can be made into a full-length tv series and expanded throughout the books and its lands. It was a sample of what can be done further. And within this…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong  *bows with a flourish*  Why thank you.  😉

@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.

@aislinn-mollisong  It’s fantasy.  Sure thing (I’ll give you the long synopsis…)!

Jaclyn Fallows’ world has a history of turning upside down.

Like when she was suddenly able to create a small blue flame in the palm of her hand on her eighth birthday.  Or when she started having the same dream about the sister who vanished without a trac…[Read more]

@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.

@aislinn-mollisong  It’s called Substitute.  🙂

@aislinn-mollisong  Editing my WIP.  My goal was to have the first draft finished by Christmas, and I did it!  So now I’m rewriting some of the beginning.  What about you?

@itisastarrynight So, I had that exact same question just a week ago.

And I started a blog. I had no idea what I was going to write about, but as soon as I started it, I started finding ideas.

To get a general idea of what bloggers blog about, I’d check out a bunch of blogs. There are some good ones on the page of my blog.

For me, I get the…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong  *waves arms wildly*  I am heeeere!!!!

@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]

@epicaddie2 Definitely!  I know what that’s like.  I had to fly without my parents last year (I was with my sisters so it wasn’t as bad), but I was a little nervous too.  🙂

Oh goodness. I just finished reading On the Dark Sea of Darkness and it has become one of my favorites. Thank you so much for this video! I’m off to watch it 😀

@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.
