And your soldier boy would probably have fun with Leo or at least one of them would.

*Hands on hips*

Excuse me?!? I was here before there even were such things as RPs here in the Kingdom of Pen, and am quickly nearing the old fogie stage of Keepers! Why, I was one of the first writers in this school, when we decided to remove some chaos from the Castle (which castle I helped build).

*Exaggerated huff*

No offense…[Read more]

I agree with Elishavet that there were many books that we checked out at the library, read, and returned without a whole lot of impact.

And oh yes, I hated it when a character was embarrassed, but then I hated to be embarrassed myself. I also loved the dangerous parts of books, but I also dearly loved a well finished book. I was also, and still…[Read more]

Now to try and answer your starting questions.

So, what are your thoughts on children’s fiction?

My thoughts? I don’t think there’s room enough to properly answer that question. It would be easier to answer verbally, instead of here. But, in the pith, Children’s fiction, and I mean good children’s writing, is the same as any good writing. There is…[Read more]

*Stumbles in through window*

Did I hear Children’s fiction? Middle-grade literature?

*Deep if wobbly curtsey*

A writer and reader of all things such as these at thy service.

That dragon is now glaring at me most reproachfully. I don’t think it likes my pencil’s jabbing.

@freed_and_redeemed

Honestly Freedom, the “To be warned” headings you add about tickle me pink at this point. If any keepers reading your writing don’t already know they’re in for a punch to the gut, they sure haven’t been around here very long. XD

Good job, and keep up the good work!

Not sure what’s going on around here, since I last ventured through these halls. I’ll get around to reading through this some day. That said…

@loopylin Don’t feel any pressure to respond. I just sort of remembered I had these guys in here.

Leo

Long streaks of rust ran down the concrete walls, a reminder that nobody came down here until it was…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I’ll have you know that I just wrote…

*Counts*

0 words in any of my WIPs. That’s right, zero.

Go eat a cookie. Or ice cream. All those planks deserve it.

As for me, I have a homework dragon to slay.

@freed_and_redeemed

AHHHHHH!

*Throws confetti and glitter everywhere*

Congratulations! Two books in two years? That’s so exciting.

Aww, you’re welcome, and I’ve loved getting to “meet” you here in the kingdom. Say hi to Leon and Riker for me.

Btw, my sister and I were playing with a random scene that had several of our character’s reactions…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

And I’ve never seen the movies, or clips including Faramir, so yeah…

XD

It’s interesting to me how different people imagine the same characters. For instance, I see Faramir as having black hair (short and raggedly cut) and blue eyes.

But I can see how that’s him even though it doesn’t look like what I imagined.

@mineralizedwritings

That’s…

*Bursts into laughter*

The blue light filter on my phone gives the poor guy fiery red hair. He looks good though (besides the conspiring on technology).

I need a cloak like that.

@freed_and_redeemed

So awesome! Soon you’ll get to hold your own book in your hands!

*Throws confetti everywhere*

@freed_and_redeemed

Gracious, those poor dear charies, put through so much trauma by their author. XD

I vote Fin!

@ellette-giselle

I like number 7 best I think. The title feels like it is part of the picture.

Jonathan, you reckless, courageous, foolish kid. What did you think you were doing? (I think you’d get a long just fine with Vulkasin to the rest of the world’s danger)

@ellette-giselle

So pretty!! I love the soft shimmery feel of your cover.

My only critique on the cover is that the words feel a little crowded and off balance, like they were shoved into the top of the picture. I might move your name to the bottom of the page, enlarge the words, and drop them down a little bit. Maybe even flip one or both of…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Sure! I love book covers and might be constantly redesigning my working covers to a point that it’s probably bad for my health.XD

Blurb away!

@theducktator

I tend to study a map after or during the first book, and then I will reference it again if ai gets confused with the author’s directions. However, I tend to modify maps in my head to fit my own impression of the fantasy world, so after the third or so book I rarely if ever look at the map.
