@scripter-of-kingdoms, what was the daydream for your first story?

@scripter-of-kingdoms haha thanks!! Faeda is taken from the Gaelic word for brave, and sathor is from punjabi and means steady. Tyroll is… um, a spin off the the name tyrell which means stubborn mule/horse XD sathor is romanian and means griffon/serpent

yeah, I know, I’m gonna be too spoiled by the end; I’m nannying a child who pretty much…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms lol yeah it is until I realize it’s the instructions for lunch that I just lost… XD

haha I daydream everything! I inherited my dad’s imagination; he sees everything he thinks about in color and its like a movie in his head XD

@elfwing It’s awesome! I love the characters already. Love the name Faeda!!

Ah, thanks. *wipes sweat from forehead* Oh, that sounds like an awesome job! XD So lucky!

@scripter-of-kingdoms thanks! It’s the one scene that’s had me nervous for a long time. So glad it’s good!

haha no rush, I know you all have stuff to do. I just got lucky with a job where I literally have hours to do writing XD

@elfwing Exactly (except I ain’t introverted XDD)! LOL that’s pretty funny. I always daydream best when I’m on a walk and I have music playing. I love daydreaming about my characters; I wouldn’t have my book series if I didn’t think about them. Heck, the idea for my first book was conceived in a daydream!!!

@elfwing From what I read there, that looks good! And that reminds me that I really need to get started beta-ing your story… XD <3 It looks super good!

@scripter-of-kingdoms haha same! I may be an awkward introvert around most everyone but I make up with my imagination. I sometimes stop talking in a conversation with someone because a random idea crosses my brain, and after processing the idea, I realized I stopped talking and the person is staring at me in confusion XD Even without a highly…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Oh, good. XD

Hahahaha, YES. I will go down FIGHTING. It’d be awesome just how to see what he’d do. XDD

Thank you so much! Damias and Bren are from the same trilogy of books (my series is split up into three sub-trilogies) but Tàe is from a different one. 😛 Yeah, they would be! Damias and Bren definitely get some interactions and…[Read more]

@elfwing Oh, 100%. Same here. I didn’t do all this maladaptive daydreaming for nothing… XD

@scripter-of-kingdoms It is therapy, isn’t it? I can’t imagine not being able to write.

@kathleenramm I agree, it is definitely healing!

@kathleenramm Why do I write… this is a hard question. So this post will likely be a lengthy thought dump, haha.

First of all, I write to serve God. I am trying to transform my fiction to be as pleasing as possible, because I really want Him to look at it and say “this is good”. I don’t really care if other people love my fiction, I want GOD to…[Read more]

@elfwing That song was great!!!!!

@kathleenramm

Why do I write? Easy answer, I enjoy it and don’t want a boring job. Therefore, I’m trying to make writing my career.

Okay, here’s a better answer: I constantly get stories ideas, and I don’t want them to just simply stay in my brain. Plus, I’m very creative and writing is a creative outlet. I’m just still trying to figure out if I…[Read more]

@gracie-j @e-k-seaver thank you both for the input!

I have never done anything like publishing, and I didn’t know there was a stigma because I actually don’t know what indie publishing is lol

As far as the cover, @e-k-seaver, who/what would you suggest? I’ll have the money to do it, but I also don’t want to pay a ton of money if I don’t need…[Read more]

here is the temporary one for book 1… I know the text is pretty much invisible lol

@gracie-j ok cool! ummmm well, anything that comes to mind, tbh

But especially about audience, if that’s the right word; how many people would you recommend having an interest in the story before publishing it? I don’t wanna just put it on there and have nothing happen with it, that would totally suck XD I have about… 2o+ people that have told…[Read more]

@gracie-j

I’m thinking of using Amazon… I am so new to anything like this, but I assume that’s self-publishing? XD

@gracie-j EEEEE YESSS

Sorry for the enthusiasm but you literally made my day! I’ve been wondering about this scene for a few weeks now but only just finished ‘perfecting’ it lol

And I am more interested in trying to publish in the near future! I just need to get done with the editing and revising if thats what it’s called lol

Any tips?
