Ooh… oh boy. I volunteer for beta reading already. I’ve gotta run right now, so I’ll let this stew in my mind for a while, but believe me I will be getting back to you as soon as I can. Which will probably be sometime tomorrow. 😛

Hm…

Oh.

Dare I ask if I am familiar with this… this other couple? 😉

If you’re talking about Cyth and Analissa, @Hope, I’d definitely say you did a good job with that.

You do have a nice big family, @Hannah-Krynicki! I have four brothers and five sisters— just the opposite! It’s quite an adventure, isn’t it? 😉

@Daeus I’d rather stay floored— I’m scared of heights.

Thanks so much, @Hope!

Unfortunately I think I need all the common sense I can get my hands on, @Daeus. 😛

And I will keep writing poetry.

Wow, I’m… I just… I’m still floored you liked it so much.

Egh, forgot the tag thingy.
@Daeus.

😉

Wow! I really did think it was terrible— just awful. I guess I’m not an objective judge. 😛 Thanks so much, Daeus— for everything.

Oh yes, the contradiction about the king deserting and all that… 😛 Actually the poem went through a backstory change in the middle of writing it, and I hadn’t yet got around to fixing it. 😛

And you know,…[Read more]

Dear Imaginary Friend—

You asked for it.

Son of a Warrior

Love is sacrifice. Only with the gift of everything it is will it ever come into the fullness of everything it was meant to be.

The weary warrior in the night, riding true and fast and far,
with love of land and love of king to guide him, and a star,
looks to me and says to me…

Welcome to the forum @Hannah-Krynicki! Always glad to have a newbie on here. 🙂 The problem with newbies is, they don’t stay that way. 😉 😛

What kind of fantasy do you like to write? More of a historical style (like Tolkien) or incredibly fantastic fantasy? Like— really weird, awesome stuff that I don’t have a term for without going into a…[Read more]

Hm… maybe ‘Seekers of Truth’… assuming there are people in the story who are actually seeking to find the answers.
Is there an overall theme for the series? Is it God’s existence, God’s grace, God’s love, God’s mercy, man’s relationship with God? I find it’s usually much easier to think of a title when I know the theme and am pulling the…[Read more]

Here’s a quick idea—don’t know if it has any merit, but it struck me all of a sudden.

Legends of Light.

Hm… I’ll have to think on that one. 😛 I’ll let you know if I come up with anything especially brilliant. 😉

Hey, @writefury! Sorry, I didn’t notice you’d posted or I would have gotten back to you sooner. 😛
I love this story— everything about it. The casually western feel, the quiet vividness of the MC… and the emotional hook with Owen Morgan. All the characters were well done, the dialogue was fantastic, and the last line was perfect. Tied it all…[Read more]

Oh— and another new favorite.

Rose of Prophecy, by @Hope Schmidt. 😀

Seriously. Which says a lot for her, because when someone reads a book specifically to pick holes in it (I beta read it for her) they generally can’t get over the mistakes. 😛

I just finished a book I’d never heard of in my life before— my grandma lent it to me. It’s called ‘Beyond Sing the Woods’, and is by Trygve Gulbranssen. TRIG-VEE GULL-bran-sen.

That. Book. Was. Fantastic.

It’s a classic, and so can be a little slow and meandering at times, but it has got to make at least the top ten favorite books for me.…[Read more]

And then there are the really sad stories. King Saul. King Solomon. King David, even, though his started out so well. All of their stories did, in fact. From redemption to rejection.

But thankfully not all the stories are like that. My favorite New Testament hero is Paul— his story is absolutely mindblowing. And Peter— a story of fear and…[Read more]
