Ooh… that’s a tough question. My absolute favorite poet of all time is J.R.R. Tolkien. He’s slightly famous, though not necessarily for his poetry. 😛
I love just about every kind of poem there is, though I tend to gravitate to sagas and ballads more than anything else.
As for what kind of poetry I write— well, it’s kinda difficult to…[Read more]

Sloggels! I’m adding that to my dictionary!

It’s a time thing. I realized halfway through the book that I spent waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy too much time with not really important things in the first half, so once I finish writing the thing I’m going back and fixing a lot more stuff than I ever had to fix before.

And I was exaggerating……[Read more]

And I’m trying to hurry up! I’ve got at least five people on my back, so I’m bound to finish it at least before the beginning of 2017… maybe… 😛 😉

‘Pickiness is the mother of perfection…’ I like that. That should be my motto. 😛

Thanks Daeus— all very good points. I should probably do everything you suggested…

The thing with Gair, though, is he can be really nasty. Not the sort of person who just invites friendship. Besides that, he looks sinister even if he’s on your side, and…[Read more]

Welcome, @mas410! Welcome welcome welcome!

I knew I’d been having a creepy feeling of being followed these last few months…

But this is the bestistest place on the internet. In my humble opinion. I don’t blame you at all for stalking it. 😉

I live in Southern Ohio, and love poetry too, though I don’t have the level of skill it takes to…[Read more]

Hahaha… so fun, @writefury! I don’t think I’ve seen the Studio C you’re referencing, but I got the story just from the poem. 🙂

Thanks so much, @writefury! Denholm and Cobalt should be friends. 😉 😛
I’ll definitely work over that line and see if I can enhance it a little… it’s funny, because I didn’t really see that line as anything all that special or out of the ordinary, but now that you mention it I can see it has potential. 😀

Yes, one thing I forgot to mention is…[Read more]

@Sarah-h— well, there are pros and cons both ways. If you have them get married at the end of the book, you end on a really sweet, fulfilling note.
If you have them get married in the middle, you can show the development of their relationship as they are married, and have them grow a lot closer than they were when they were just ‘courting’.
I…[Read more]

Got what right?

You’d better come back on here quick, @sarah-h, before this topic devolves into complete silliness. 😀

@Daeus! that is a logical fallacy!!!! It’s called Equivocation. Equivocation on the word sacrifice. Yes. Quite serious, actually. 😛

I did laugh once I got it though. 😉

Um… what?

Haha! Killing them both is definitely not the solution. 😛

As far as writing clean romance goes, it’s really pretty simple. Keep it clean.

Okay, it’s a little more complicated than that. 🙂

Something I’ve found very helpful is observing my mom and dad, who are two of the most in-love people you’ll ever find. So that’s a quick tip.

As far as…[Read more]

Right! Okay— I see it now. Yes. Tons of potential there. Wow… I’m mocking logic. I can’t believe it. That’s just… so… so…. I can’t believe it. 😛

Oh oh oh I just discovered a new kind of comedy! I mean I didn’t discover it… but I noticed it for the first time. 😛
I’m not exactly sure what to call it, so I’ll give the example that finally got my attention.
Okay, so this man and his wife are driving down the road and they almost hit a skunk. The wife goes, “Oh no, that was close! What would…[Read more]

Great! Wonderful! Glad it works— you’re right, it does fit. There ya go! 🙂

HAHAHA!!!

Haaaaa… that’s hilarious, Daeus. I saw another one of Ted Cruz as Captain America. 😛

And you have a good point there, @writefury— it made me think of something. There are technically two different categories of humor— I just realized that. One is intellectual humor, the other… what do you call it? Slapstick?
Intellectual humor I would…[Read more]

Hm… you have a point. I didn’t think of King Arthur… well, maybe you could just call it plain ‘medieval fantasy’, though that might have the same difficulty.

One of the things fantasy fans (take it from an expert on the subject) love is the vivid, vivid cultures and the unusual aspects of a wholly different world that define fantasy in its…[Read more]
