His condition is largely trauma induced (his world’s version of a marine in something like WWII mixed with Iraq). The shell is actually what saves his life in the long run.

@emilysf

Mwahaha… It is supposed to be, just not exactly in the normal sense. He is dying in this scene, but *spoiler* he makes it through. Good! It has to get my readers’ attention and hopefully shake them.

This is actually pulling up some writing struggles on my side. The overarching theme of this book is hope, beyond reason, beyond the…[Read more]

“Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

She’s here! Welcome to the Kingdom of Pen!

*Hands you an Oreo*

I have yet to find a Jonathan Parks episode to listen to, but as soon as I do I will tell you what I think of it.

I don’t think I’ve ever asked you this question, so: Do you like jellybeans? I don’t like or dislike them.

@emilysf @godlyfantasy12 @elishavet-pidyon

Is it my turn, or does Mila get a chance?

By the by, Emilysf, do you know what the name Mila means when it has an Old Slavic base?

@elishavet-pidyon

Aahhhhhhh!!!!!!! Alwin, my dear lad…*sigh* That sounds awesome for a first chapter; definitely something I could get hooked on.

Honestly I’ve always envisioned your books to be more YA than middle grade, so don’t worry about that. Your themes will be more powerful to an older age group anyway.

Yes, it’s Mikkel! Thank you,…[Read more]

Not entirely sure who to tag, but here goes!

@emilysf @godlyfantasy12 @elishavet-pidyon

This is part of a scene I’ve had running through my head. It’s from the serie’s last book, Seas of Fury, which is set about 800 Years later, so the technology is way more advanced than in the first two books.

Fog swirled around him, penetrated by something…

@godlyfantasy12

I can’t hold them in. *Sigh* maybe a few won’t hurt the system.

What are November’s uncontrollable powers?

How did he escape being killed?

Who exactly is his father?

About how old are these characters when the explosion comes?

Did Eder know?

What color eyes does Corvina have? (Sorry if you already said somewhere and I just…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

I. Did. Not. See. That. Coming.

Wow. No wonder his father is so awful…wait. is he really his Dad? (You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.)

This will definitely stay here!

And now so many questions are piling up in my head that I’d better not start asking any more. The forum may not be able to take it. XD

@godlyfantasy12

YES I DO!!!!!

@godlyfantasy12

(Yeah, I just read the actually helpful stuff, skipped over the rest, and marked out the language with a black pen.)

Oh November! You are putting me into a rhyming mood, which is not exactly safe, at least for my bedtime schedule.

Seriously though, the poor BABY!!

@godlyfantasy12

Go on, go on! *Florishes one hand*

(You’ve read ‘Save the Cat!’ too?)

Poor November…

*deep, heartfelt sigh*

@freedomwriter76

Wow. You just wrote that today? This is first draft? I am…

*Groan*

You painted a vivid picture of this character in my head, and when he screamed I heard him. I have a definite love/hate relationship with this type of character. They wring my heart.

Because they’re real.

They’re all around us.

@freedomwriter76

Awesome!

Yeah, the only good series I’ve found is Promise of Zion, by Robert Elmer.

Weird random question; are your Jewish MCs Messianic, Orthodox, or something in between? (I’m supposing they’re not just by heritage, but they could be, I suppose.)

@freedomwriter76

Thank you!

*Having snooped through all the rest of this board*

I love that you’re writing stories during the healing period after WWII! I haven’t found many good books set in that time (well, besides a couple nonfiction stuff, but anyhoo).

Here’s a collage for a novella I haven’t even hinted at on here, (So conniving) mostly as it has not a working title.

Or character names. For anyone. (I’ve written most of the first chapter without even an idea yet. And I plot. Not pants.)

Anyway, here’s my MC!

@godlyfantasy12

Aaaggghhhh! All I want to do now is somehow drag your published work out of the future, curl up in an invisible corner, and trade this world for A’Grend.

*Sigh*

The impossible wishes of an imagination.

*A catlike figure, draped in a dark cloak, slips noiselessly into the Kingdom Pen Hall. It slides up to a table and drops a parchment next to a miniature castle. Many apologies, it whispers, then vanishes into the shadows.*

@kathleenramm

For my current WIP it would either be the themes or characters, as they are heavily intertwined. It’s the first project I was able to pin down a point of focus before starting the book.

(I don’t pants, however I’m not sure if what I do counts as plotting. I have nearly the entire storyline in my head, but only a few scenes figured,…[Read more]

@lydia-s

Totally!!! Of course there are those times they aren’t completely Biblicaly accurate, but I love them anyway. 😉
