Tagging @Daeus and @Hope for being the most amazing beta/alpha readers and writing buddies anyone could ever ask for. You guys have both seriously been major instruments in my writing journey and I wouldn’t be where I am without you.

Also tagging my numero uno fan, @Emma-flournoy. Yeah, yeah. We’ve said all the sappy stuff a million times over.…[Read more]

@valtmy Wonderful!

You people are all adorable.

@dragon-snapper 😀 You’ll certainly be welcome to beta read it if you’d like. In the interest of full disclosure though, you should know it probably won’t be ready until the end of the year. Sorry, it’s going to be a long book. 😉

@daeus This book you speak of.

GIVE IT TO ME.

@supermonkey42 The Compendium is amazing! It gave me an excellent excuse to finally read the Legend of King Daeus (which is AWESOME @dragon-snapper).

@dekreel I feel extremely honored that you like the poem well enough to went it included there! Thanks so much, you literally just made my day! 😀

@ethryndal Nope. They’re probably better behaved than humans, actually. 😉

@sam-kowal Wow. Yes, it’s exactly like Frodo’s wound. LOTR just keeps getting deeper and deeper.

@sam-kowal *bursts into laughter* You’re right on spot there with the hit and run synopsis.

Unfortunately for Stan, teedletiden are sentient beings and tend to run away when you try to keep them as pets.

@daeus 😀 😀 That would prove to be a bit of a problem.

@ethryndal Oh, yeah. The teedletiden are one of my fantasy races. They’re short and they live in the trees. I’m going to introduce them near the end of book one and I plan on hauling along one of them for the other two books.

I JUST WANT TO TAG EVERYBODY!

Why can’t I do that?

@seekjustice I can see there’s only one thing to be done here.

*melts chair*

*grins* Thanks for giving me the excuse. I haven’t melted one of those in a while.

Aaaanyway, that is all right. I totally understand when life hits you hard–happened to me recently. If you want, you could probably be a charlie/delta reader for the later drafts of…[Read more]

@Anne-of-Lothlorien OW. I’ll definitely be praying for you. I’ve had a pretty bad chronic headache problem for years, but the headaches are never that bad all the time. I’ve only had a few like that, and I deeply sympathize. I really hope the glasses will help.

<3 You all are awesome.

@ethryndal Thanks for being my buddy back. I think you’re epic. I have to meet you someday in person. Thanks for making me laugh every time I read a post, on here or over on the Sarcastic Elf. I can always tell what day of the week it is by how many days it is until you post again. 😛

@jenwriter17 *resists melting…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong *is late because she is not Gandalf*

XD Eventually… I have to finish editing the first book first.

@anne-of-lothlorien Ouch. 🙁 Will pray.

@anne-of-lothlorien @salome01w4g @catwing @dekreel Thank you so much for your prayer and encouragement. I’m still struggling with it, but ever since I made that post, it’s been a lot better. God is good. 🙂

@seekjustice Dystopian retellings of classics? That’s so cool!
