Yes, they’re wolves. It’s still in first draft form, but… I like it. =) Thanks!

I think it ate my thingy. Maybe I made it long. I shall try again.
Its a full scene, not a line, but anyway…
Flickers of light glinted back, caught on gossamers in the murky darkness. Holding the torch as high as the cavern roof allowed, Meyani crept down stairs, counting each crumbling step. Two-and-ten, three-and-ten, four-and-ten…

Well, I have been working on this scene for some time now, mulling it over it in my mind, so I finally wrote it down, even though I haven’t gotten near this part of my book yet. Its not exactly a line- a whole scene to be exact. But anyway…

Koshka replied to the topic Do you Prefer Classical or Modern Literature? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 5 months ago
Classical. I grew up on it, so the older vocabularies don’t bother me. The depths in story, the mixture of poetry in prose, all the types and shadows… I feel more at home with classics than modern literature.
But I haven’t read much truly old stuff beyond Pilgrim’s Progress, some Shakespeare, and Canterbury Tales (which I do not…[Read more]

Koshka replied to the topic How do you draft/write the "first" document? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 5 months ago
Welp, I love revising. Writing itself is difficult and obnoxious.
Let me rephrase that; I enjoy writing, but I struggle turning off the strong-minded inner editor who then destroys all my work because it’s in first draft stage and therefore terrible. However, as rewriting is my favorite part of writing in general I usually don’t…[Read more]

Koshka replied to the topic Wingfeather Saga in the forum Book Discussions 4 years, 5 months ago
Thank you!!!! They’re doing such an awesome job of it, I might actually try to watch some when it comes out!
And that probably sounded strange. Explanation; being someone blessed with an extremely vivid imagination I find myself disappointed by movie adaptations of books I perhaps only skim read.
But this looks good, so I…[Read more]

Koshka replied to the topic I'm giving you permission to rant about your WIP in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 5 months ago
I am so sorry, I almost forgot KP (of no fault of it’s own; life is still nuts).
I have read/listened to all but Lady Susan, Love and Friendship, and I think one other one. I read Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sense ability, and Mansfield Park. I listened to most of those and Emma, Northanger Abbey, and… I think that’s…[Read more]

Koshka replied to the topic Fairytale Retellings in the forum Genre-Writing 4 years, 6 months ago
Sorry I’m so late in replying. Life is nuts.
That sounds AWESOME! I love good farytales and retellings, some of my favorite authors being George MacDonald, C. S. Lewis, Gail Carson Levine, and Hans Christian Andersen. (Or at least some of his stuff)
I would definitely appreciate a retelling of Rumplestiltskin, especially as that story…[Read more]

Koshka replied to the topic Calling all storytellers… in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 6 months ago
We’ll, right now I can’t think of many actually funny stories which would make sense out of context, which is annoying as I know of many.

Koshka replied to the topic Hello! in the forum Start HERE 4 years, 6 months ago
By a strong church I mean one where God can move unhindered, the people are unified as the body of Christ, and the pastor preaches the Word and the congregation backs him.
We do actively worship if that’s what you mean. We dance before the LORD in praise, but nothing such as Jewish ring dancing or stuff like that.
My favorite…[Read more]

Ah yes, Wentworth’s letter. That scene (besides Louisa’s fall) is probably one of my favorite in the book. And I usually don’t enjoy romance books…

Hmm, well, those activity things didn’t worked for me, so I tagged you here. (Sharing images on here is troublesome for me too)
Ooo, I can’t wait to see it!
Here’s a link to my email;If this works.

I suppose Natalia is sort of that entire known world, but for some reason it seemed to me more like a kingdom in a wild, unknown land.
I wonder if there’s a thing on here for Antagonist development. Or maybe we should start a new one.
Uniqueness… That may turn out to be a struggle, especially as I’m not entirely…[Read more]

Koshka replied to the topic Poem For My Book Draft! in the forum Poetry Critiques 4 years, 6 months ago
Ooo, I like that last bit.
I can’t exactly see the rhyme and meter as the stanzas are written together in paragraph form, but what I could I enjoyed. Would you mind reposting it in verses (If it was written as such)?

*Grimaces*
Bonnifer certainly did more damage. Hmm, maybe that should be taken as a warning; Garten betrayed his king and broke a kingdom, Bonnifer twisted a child and shattered a world.
*Sigh* My antagonists are either vague or already dead. They need work, but as I’m not sure who several of them are…

Koshka replied to the topic Wingfeather Saga in the forum Book Discussions 4 years, 6 months ago
Bonnifer is as bad a Garten Longtreader, if not worse… He is well written though.
Slarb… Slarb… Yes, that sounds right. Not him either, the grotesque poltroon. Fangs are just horrible, I suppose.
