His body tensed with confused alarm at Moth’s comment.

“Archery is more by instinct than anything else. You focus on a specific point you want to hit, and then line up the arrow with that point.” He absently knocked and drew as he spoke. It whipped home as he glanced back at Moth, then at Ellis. “What is…[Read more]

I’ve written some myself. What kind of poetry do you like to write?

Ah! Another poet, I see. I tend to write stuff with a strong pattern, even if that pattern isn’t always as clear as a rhyme scheme (although I do tend to use rhyme, meter, alliteration, all those good things). It mainly just depends on the texture of the poem I…[Read more]

Greetings and welcome! I write middle-grade fantasy, youth fiction, and a smattering of poetry. I’m also a historical clothing/culture nerd, hand-crafting enthusiast, and full-time university student (which makes it a little difficult to keep up with the other stuff, but alas. Tis my life.).

My current WIP is about a…[Read more]

@writingwren

Welcome to the Kingdom! I write middle-grade fantasy (currently involving way too much stained glass), poetry (occasionally penned, though rarely shared), and youth fiction (although my main project there is on the back burner so…). I’m a twin, a full-time university student, a history/culture nerd, and a hand-crafting enthusiast…[Read more]

Going to sprint for an hour to try and finish this book-by-chapter outline for Project Faerie Glass. Starting at (6):02.

@elanor

Lovely.

Inglor! No!

*Yeets off into forest*

I think Inglor is the epitome of that “what are you going to do with the sharp edges of your soul?” “Cut vegetables.” meme.

Please say Remi survives the book. I will happily read about all sorts of wild weird French Alice in Revolution Land, but…[Read more]

Finishing stuff is hard. I think that’s easy to forget sometimes, but it’s no less true.

As far as screenplays go, closest I’ve gotten was a stage play, so…[Read more]

Congratulations on finishing a draft! That’s a huge milestone. I declare you deserving of cheesecake (if you like cheesecake. Otherwise I’ll eat it myself,…[Read more]

I’ll be praying, Liberty.

@liskaboyce

Ah yes, the middle act, the fun and games part, the exhaustive what-are-we-even-doing-right-now pile of pain.

What I’ve recently found to help me (being myself in the final stages of plotting a novel) is to think of this part of the book as when the characters face two big obstacles to reaching their goal, and the aftermath of either…[Read more]

@liskaboyce

Whaley’s response is lovely and says quite what I was going to, so I’ll only add:

Ugh. Yes, there are so many different styles of plotting that it gets hard to find one that will work for you. I’ve tried several and have eventually ended up with one that’s a sort of mix between three-act and beats, but using bullet points.

okay that…[Read more]

*Hides behind textbooks*

Oops, I missed this.

Ari

A small smile tugged one side of his mouth higher than the other. No magiked arrows this time–just a nearly perfect shot.

“Alcarna, Firefly. Well done.”

Froilán had taken a week to even hit the target. But then, the boy had barely been strong enough to draw the bow.

@lillian

Ryuu sounds like he’ll fit in just fine around here. XD Go ahead and pick a place around the school to drop him in, and we’ll see who’s around to interact!

Ah! A Drakes Tavern sounds like a wonderful idea. I’d definitely pause my questing travels to stay a night. 😉

Questions! Would you rather ride a dragon for a day, o…[Read more]

Ah, I see that is quite a time difference. Hopefully you’re getting some much needed rest by now, but just in case you aren’t (or for whenever you happen to check…[Read more]

@liskaboyce

Those are very logical reasons, yes. *Nods seriously*

Ah, she hath thrown back the question at me! Let’s see…*thinking noises*…I’d have to say ride a dragon for a day. I didn’t say I couldn’t also own a horse at some point, and I would love to know what flying on the back of a giant fire breathing reptile would feel like. For…[Read more]
