@dekreel Heyo!

@aislinn-mollisong  I was just on your Ember doc and…

…during the reign of King West and Queen Alia.”

Like that? 😉

The Beast is back!! Hi, guys! I’m writing

@rochellaine that sounds awesome! Have you read A Voice In The Wilderness by…uh…hold on. *looks at book on Kindle* Grace Livingston Hill? I LOVE that book!

@skredder Hi!

@aislinn-mollisong Yes, it’s the one with the snake.  😀  But the snake isn’t really part of the plot, just part of the story.  I’m trying to make it like the old westerns except set in modern times.  It’s about a girl who goes out west to visit her uncle and aunt.  They actually live in the city, but she meets some young peop…[Read more]

@rochellaine I can’t bring myself to skip. IT GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING IN ME! I must write linearly, for some strange reason. *shrugs* What’s the plot of your western? Is it the one with the snake?

@aislinn-mollisong @rochellaine Howdy, Folks! 🙂

@aislinn-mollisong I am just at that place in my western, too!  It’s awful.  Right now I’m doing a little bit of outlining, and I might just skip the hard part and write the next part, then come back to it later.

@rochellaine Still working on Embers Burning, (as it’s still my only major project) and I haven’t gotten far. I’ve sort of worked myself into a corner, as it were, because I know what needs to happen LATER, but I need to get past what’s happening NOW, and what’s happening now is rather tricky, yet important. (That statement is basically the last…[Read more]

Hey!  @aislinn-mollisong I’m working on my western, and chatting with @clairec about how – contrary to what most people here think – fantasy isn’t the only genre out there. 😀

What are you doing?

@clairec @rochellaine @dekreel @catwing @anyoneelse

Aislinn here! Wotcha doin’? I’m writing.

@clairec Okayyy, that sounds interesting.  I’m a real stickler for historical accuracy, but not so much historical events as culture.  I will freak out if someone wears a 1947 dress in 1943, or talks about an actress whose first movie was released six months later than the time in which the book was set, but if you want to add a few historical e…[Read more]

@sam-kowal Good revisions. (And good synopsis in general, btw. These things are hard.)

Possibly, these three revisions could help.

Feastings end – feasting ends.

Only humans farm in the city of Kurr. Dwarfs would rather win glory in the exosuit arena. When food got low in the winter of 1276, the dwarves robbed us of our crops.

The dwarfs are…[Read more]

@rochellaine, I like it! It’s a great analogy.

I’m writing alternative historical fiction about the Pacific (mainly Australia and Papua New Guinea) in WWII. When I first mentioned that here on the forum everyone’s reactions were “You’re changing history? You can’t do that!” But. Think Captain America (which I haven’t seen, but know the entire…[Read more]

@clairec  Yes!  Everyone is so into fantasy now it seems all other genres are forgotten for young people!

I have read a little fantasy.  I liked the Chuck Black Kingdom  and Knights series okay a couple of years ago, and I love the Frank Peretti Cooper Kids series (which is only semi-fantasy).  Other than that, though I mostly read histori…[Read more]

@dekreel *blinks* Whoa, you’re right.

@rochellaine, ah-hah! Another person who isn’t really into fantasy. Isn’t it funny how everyone on here seems to be writing about elves? 😛 I might write some fantasy in the future, but for now my writing tries to stay relatively realistic. Do you read fantasy, or do you just not like it very much?

You know you’re a KaPeeFer (KeePer) when you paid attention to the etymology of the words KeePer and KaPeeFer and decide you are both a Kingdom Penner and a Kingdom Pen Fan. (Yes, there is a difference.)

You know you’re a KaPeeFer when you try to sneaky-sneak other KaPeeFers into your books. (Yes, I have a dragon named Snapper. And catwings. And…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking 😀 Yes !

You found it! 😛 That was on purpose. Stan begged me to add it in.

Holidays are never as fun when you’re worried people will die once the feastings end.

       The farmers of the city of Kurr are human, because no dwarf wants to hoe grain when they could be winning glory in the exosuit arena. So when food got low in the winter of 1276, the dwarves robbed us of our crops.

 We had no exosuits, but we planted c…[Read more]
