I hope so… =/

Thanks, and your welcome! I probably talk about my books waayyy too much. XD

@autumn-rebecca

Thank you! Sometimes it feels like I’ll never get my books written and ready.

The first two in the series are set in a medieval time period, while the last is sort of World War/War on Terror time. I am using animal characters (sort of like Green Ember or Redwall) only I’m writing it for an older audience (Of course, the books…[Read more]

Hello, and welcome to KP! (Sorry for the belatedness of this welcome.) I am Koshka, or at least that’s what I’m called around here. I have two major WIPs at this point. One is a non-magical medieval-fantasy trilogy which has gained my central focus. I’m hoping to be able to aventually publish it. The other is a historical fiction…[Read more]

Blenders are wonderful, if you find a type you like. They aren’t necessary, like any other tool.

That’s the best reason to draw! If you do it enough you’ll develop a lot of skill in whatever way you like. I didn’t have much skill at all, untill about 13-14.

@scoutfinch180

Ah, ok. I love talking about my books too much (my dear twin ends up having to listen to my ramblings most of the time), so I try to be careful with what I start, if that makes any sense.

To be honest, I don’t know much about sci-fi. The most I’ve actually read in that genre was Thorny Twins, and that was a long time ago, when I…[Read more]

It is interesting though. Everyone’s imagination is influenced by real life, so each view is unique. Or at least, that sounds right to me… Oh well.

@annabelle

Exactly. Or go through and explain all the types and shadows. Which is hard to do without spoiling anything. *Sigh*

Well, the book said it was a hawk, but it never said what type. Later, when it described him is used ‘reddish’. So this is the type I saw. =)

@annabelle

Ah yes, most people look at one a little strange if we start talking about stones which change people into animals, especially if one emphasizes the fact it’s by a Christian. XD

That’s interesting. I always saw Artham’s wings reddish, like a red hawk.

@scoutfinch180

Thanks!

The colors in the second seem to fit with the word Ice, but so does the first in a darker way. The first might have better placement for English speakers. (Our eyes tend to start at the top left corner of a page). What is the general theme of your book, if it doesn’t spoil anything?

@trahia-the-minstrel

Good, that’s what…[Read more]

Here is a collage I made for HOGHOS (wow, that acronym is awful). It isn’t at all like my cover idea, but it has a similar feel.

@trahia-the-minstrel

That makes sense. I think it will too, once everything’s filled out.

That would be a fun workshop! I know it takes a lot of work to get all that right in any type if art. But it’s so rewarding…

I’ll have to put it on here as soon as it’s done. Thank you for sharing yours!

@trahia-the-minstrel

Good layout. I would move the Prince of Walfklau scroll up to the top of the page (if that could be done without blocking any of the cover details. Then again, I don’t know.) Otherwise I think those look great! The sense of distance and plains is right as far as I can tell. I like the depth, with your angles lining up. Um,…[Read more]

@abigail-m

It’s fine! =)

@annabelle

I think it ate my tag.

I’ll have to do something like that… Soon.

How long have you been writing verse? My first ‘poems’ were practically sets of rhyme and meter with nothing much in the way of meaning. They were TERRIBLE!

Maybe that’s why I don’t like jellybeans.

Ooo, that’s hard. I’ve read so many good books. Maybe Myles and Gascone from Men Of Iron, Shasta,…[Read more]

@annabelle
Hello there! I am Koshka, or at least that’s what I’m called around here. *gasp* Another Homeschooler… Hi!
You are publishing your first book? Awesome! I have yet to complete ONE of my many story idea, so not even close to where you are.

I love poetry too, both writing and reading.  My verse is rarely as direct as your Reading Poem.…[Read more]

Is this better?

Here voices scream, ‘You’re still in pain,

This Dream and Hope are all in vain.’

@abigail-m @anatra23

Thank you! My verse is just starting to feel right, if that makes any sense.

The voices are saying that. Would removing the punctuation clear that up, or do I need to do something else?

(YES, the author appreciates it very much!)

Are there any things you would change?

@elishavet-pidyon @jodi-maile

Thank you! I loved writing it.
