I’ll keep that in mind😉 *Resolves to get first five books out of library*

@elishavet-pidyon

Thanks! I never knew that, about the early Slav federation. That’s so neat you’re using it in your book!😃

@keilah-h Brothers, am I right?😂 S’fine, my older brother loves to tease me about the name I made up in a Paper Mario fan fic of mine for a technological sphere that could be used like a super computer to destroy every world in the multi-world existence of my story — I called it…

DRUMROLL …

The S.D. Sphere.

Short of self-destruction sphere.…[Read more]

@keilah-h Thanks! I did see it, now you’re making me think I’ll have to try the Wings of Fire series😁

@koshka Thanks! That’s cool!

@elishavet-pidyon

The û? Do you know which culture it comes from? Also, that’s epic you’re learning Hebrew!😃 I watched some beginners’ videos to learn the structure — in terms of it being an SVO language, like English. Unlike my main kingdom’s language, which is an SOV language, like Japanese.

I like the mix of cultures you’re using for Eirtan!…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Lol.😂 Yeah, I always spoil everything to both my little sister, my big sister, and my big brother — and then pester them with feedback on any new plot developments I’ve thought of.😂

@anatra23 Yes, I’m doing a round of beta reading for it now, and then I’ll probably do another couple of editing passes, maybe one more round of beta readers, before trying to pitch it to agents. It’s 180k words, though, so I’m gonna have to be creative and precise in order to sell them on it — YA fantasy isn’t normally that long&#x1f60…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Oh yes, foxes and cats are some of my favorites as well!

What genres do you like to read/write?

That is really good @elanor ! I love how you do a different rhyme scheme (abba instead of the usual abab)! I usually use certain meters as well. I use hexameter a lot, but sometimes I mix it up and do every other verse is a different meter, like a would be six, b would be five, a is six, b is five, and so on. Like this:

He holds me in His arms,…[Read more]

@koshka

Thanks!

Up to the 3rd/2 and a half/beta reader draft of my first book, and the first draft of my second book. The next three books are only in my head at this stage😅

Hi, @e-p-writes !

I’m Tráhia the Minstrel, and I think your goal is really cool! I’m glad to be the first person to welcome you to the Kingdom, especially since I only joined super recently myself 😊.

I also write YA fantasy with the hopes of shining God’s light into a genre that is mostly dark. I want clean reads for kids because as a homesc…[Read more]

@lydia-s — Thanks!

@anatra23  Thanks! Tbh, I didn’t really think about it much, I just made up the names lol😂 But when I was trying to figure out how to spell the names, I was listening to my older sister (who’s a linguist) talking about International Phonetic Alphabet’s pronunciation. She said in that, the vowel I generally makes an ‘ee’ sou…[Read more]

Hi @joy-caroline !

My book series is meant to be five books, but I hope that my advice can be helpful. The series as a whole is a huge overarching story, and the problem I set up in the first book (who will become the next king of my kingdom, and who is worthy to be said king) won’t be concluded until the end of the series. But each book has it…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

(*dances for joy* Seriously, just talking about my Biblical fiction trilogy makes me incredibly happy… XD)

So, with my trilogy about Simon Peter, I decided to break up the story based off of the pivotal moments in Peter’s life. Book one ends at the point where Simon proclaims that Jesus is the Son of God. Book two ends on the day…[Read more]

@scoutfinch180

Oooo… Yup, I definitely love him! XD

@elishavet-pidyon @joy-caroline @anatra23

<333 Yup! 😀

@trahia-the-minstrel

Love the lines!!! Your character sounds like a very wise guy and a lot of fun. 🙂

Thanks! @beth-darlene

Thanks! @koshka

I make up my names, but based them on Spanish and Japanese pronunciation (the only two languages I’ve ever studied.) As a result, here’s a short list of some of my characters’ names:

Salvárdé, Méyárco, Iéto, Mérar, Shinarvé, Zarvéna, Yáléa, Lína, Riézon.

I use the Spanish rule that any time there’s an é with the flick over it, i…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Hey! Nice to meet you! Giant pandas are my favorite, what about you?

@elishavet-pidyon — Thanks!

@godlyfantasy12 — Lol😂 I know, right?

@trahia-the-minstrel COOL! Nice to meet you too! (And thanks!)

@elanor

That is awesome!!! Yes, fall is the BEST season *high fives*

Great! I’m looking forward to it!! 😀 Ooh I’ll have to find that poem then! (And you can never judge a poem by its title, amiright? 😉)
