No kidding! They really do put up with quite a bit… XD

Hmmm… I’m not sure! Helmer’s death didn’t come as a surprise for me. *cough* I may or may not have skimmed through the ending the moment I got the book in my hands to see if he was there… And when he wasn’t, I may or may not have then skimmed through the rest of the…[Read more]

@power

I definitely wasn’t bored! I love hearing about that kind of thing. If it helps, my fight scene is in a wedding hall with lots of pillars and rather in the roof. It’s single combat. The girl is agile, fit, and well-trained in knife fighting; and the boy is also fit, but can’t move as fast because he’s not as good at acrobatics and athleti…[Read more]

@nanisnook

Thanks! I don’t think we’ve met before, but I really love your cover picture. That’s such a cute art style!

@power

Since you’re offering …😁😉

How could a teenage girl with an abundance of knives beat a teenage boy with a sword and shield? This is important for a climax of mine, but I want it to be realistic.

Also, do you watch Shadiversity? The comment about the lightsabers made me wonder …

@power

That’s amazing. You sound like both my older brothers😂 My closest brother always used to play sword fights with me, and I even got him to help me mock out a fight scene for my book a few weeks ago …

@morgan

I’ve never been a twin or a brother, but I’ve had two older brothers, an older sister, and a younger sister. However, my brother…[Read more]

@koshka

So…. Just to clarify, you and your twin can’t feel when the other is pain? Cause I’ve heard of that being able to happen. (The twins in one of my WIP are identical, boy-boy, and the twins in the other WIP are fraternal boy-girl. Did I mention I have a thing for writing multiple birth characters?😅)

But, when it comes to twins, can you f…[Read more]

Do you guys mind if I jump in? Sorry I haven’t been super active on the forum recently, and may not have replied to anything you said. I’ve been taking a huge break from things over the Christmas/New Years holidays.

As well as binging Keeper of the Lost Cities. The who…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

I know exactly what you mean. My current WIP, The Prince of WalfKlau(working title) was originally intended to be my first-ever standalone. Ha.

Ha.

Ha.😂

I quickly realised I’d never be able to tell such an epic story in one book, and it quickly turned into a trilogy in my mind. I then wrote 94 chapters — yes, you read that rig…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I think a cool topic of the week would be “What is your favourite character type/character relationship type?” Like the ‘Mentor’ or the ‘Young Knight’ or the ‘Brother-brother duo, etc. Things like that. In my WIP, I have a ‘tactician,’ a ‘minstrel,’ a ‘peasant-raised prince,’ a ‘usurper,’ a ‘best-friend duo,’ a ‘pair of…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Welcome back!!! I feel you, though… I’m not particularly active on here myself anymore, what with school, work, etc. 🙂

Oh, how fun! I’ll check it out.

@keilah-h

Yes, they really are fun!

@elishavet-pidyon

It sounds like you have a deep understanding of Wilfred’s personality!

Aww, thank you! And you’re so right! Hard places in characters’ lives are so much fun for authors. 😉

Ooo… I didn’t think about that! That’s a very good point. Both Picket and Helmer made choices that included the royal family and left them guilt-ridden…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Thanks! I’m hoping to start writing the 2nd draft real soon.😊

@koshka

Wow, you’re a twin? What’s it like being twins — if you don’t mind talking about it? (I may or may not have some twins in my WIP that I’d like some inspo for.😉)

@anatra23

You can get Torment for the piano?😃

Also, that scene when Torment plays makes me feel so much emotion, every time. Like how she tosses the things off the desk around the room, and then screams and cries at the toy dog. *Shivers.*

*Feels.*

Yeah, I’ve seen all the VE specials and the movie. I felt the movie kinda wrecked all the t…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Thanks for the reccs anyway! My sister and I have actually already watched Totoro and Ponyo, she loved them, and I enjoyed them a lot more than I thought I would. They’re such cute movies!

@annabelle

Your book list is epic! And I love Viking Quest too — it’s like, my favourite book series ever! But my series of it has 5 books — have they changed it or something? My family’s series is the first editions.

@devastate-lasting

I’d love your recommendations for kid-friendly manga and/or anime. My younger sister wants to watch more anim…[Read more]

@anatra23

Do you guys mind if I jump in here cause I love these topics?😊

I love Violet Evergarden’s music too! My favourites are Rust, Never Coming Back, The Voice in My Heart, The Ultimate Price, Inconsolable, The Love That Binds Us, and Believe In…

Yes, the extended editions of LOTR! My family never watches any other version — we’re kinda s…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Oh boy. Here we go. This isn’t in order of when I read them, by the way, but these are all the new books I remember reading last year. (It’s already new year for me right now.)

How Many Books Have You Read This Year?

#1 The Way of Kings Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive Book 1

#2 Words of Radiance Stormlight Archive Book 2…[Read more]

Hi everyone! Sorry for the late replies, I’ve been having a huge Christmas break

@elishavet-pidyon

You’re totally not crazy! I think your cover idea sounds epic! I mean, leather? That’s so cool! And you seem to be quite a good artist — I’m sure you could draw it or use photoshop!

It’s still so funny that we inadvertently have similar nam…[Read more]
