This is a fascinating poem. I especially love the last stanza, and the others are very good too. The imagery is particularly intriguing to me, as well as the change in meter at the end of each stanza.

@devastate-lasting

That’s awesome! I’m pretty new to writing seriously, so I’ve never actually completed a novel yet.

I think my fave part about the writing process is character arcs. I love finding my charries unique voices and being able to write them in their different journeys. What about you?

@anatra23

I love spider-man! Are you excited…[Read more]

@koshka

AHhHh I love the end too! But then, I also hate it if you know what I mean *cries silently*

I know the themes in it are BEAUTIFUL! I love the poetry too! Peterson is an incredible author!

Do you like troll poetry? I don’t always understand it very well, but I must admit…those trolls are talented XDD

Yaaa me no like licorish XD

Yes…[Read more]

@jodi-maile

Oh that sounds SOO cool! I’d totally read that! That’s cool that you write with your sister too! I have 4 siblings, but none of them like to write XD. Although, my little brother is one of my main beta readers, which has been interesting lol.

That’s awesome! I haven’t written many short stories (mostly cuz when I do, they end up…[Read more]

@koshka

I don’t have magic either😃 Which made me seriously doubt whether my book could even be classed as fantasy, especially since I also don’t have mythical creatures or monsters. But I’ve decided my book does fit in that genre — mostly cause I can’t think of any other genre it would fit in. It’s a fantasy type story — kinda like Avatar the La…[Read more]

@koshka

You write medieval fantasy! Epic😁 Me too.😁

@r-m-archer

House of Mages actually sounds pretty cool. What was wrong with that made you not go through with publication?

@devastate-lasting

Woah, that’s a cool idea. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of an idea like that. It sounds like a tricky story to write, but you should totally try going back to that story when you have the…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting
True. Where do all those Eastern Dragons be tho?

@trahia-the-minstrel

True. True. I actually liked the three introductions when I first read it too. I thought it was a deliberate poke at all the fantasy clichés. I hoped the story would be a somewhat fun yet heartfelt parody of the common fantasy stories. However, the rest of…[Read more]

@koshka

Well, if you ever need a beta reader, critique, or anything else in the future, I am always available if you ever want. I hadn’t been critiquing or reading for awhile (very busy) but I’m happy to say that I can once again critique or you know, just give general thoughts or point out flaws and strengths that I see. But that is of cou…[Read more]

Okay. I’m going back to the gym now. This was way too much nerdy book stuff for one day.

IT’S LEG DAY BABY LEZZ GOOOO!

@koshka They’re sentient like humans if that’s what you’re asking.

@koshka

HEMA? that’s so cool! Lol the closest my family has come to anything similar to exercising together is when we found the old P90X discs and exercised with them on speed x2. Yes, I was sore, yes we couldn’t stop laughing, yes we were so stupid.

I’m so happy sanity is optional.

@devastate-lasting @koshka @abigail-m

@koshka Ah, I won’t say my church, but we basically did Bible quizzing through a program called AWANA, not sure if you’ve heard of it. I live up in the New England area, so our paths probably haven’t crossed.

I write urban fantasy, eastern fantasy, anything but high fantasy. I tend to combine crime and fantasy, so a lot of my stories (well,…[Read more]

@koshka Hey there! Late welcome to our Kingdom of Pen! I’m usually one of the early greeters but I don’t think I’ve welcomed anyone in a long time due to school, hhh…

I’m Linyang, but everyone here calls me Lin, and I enjoy writing crime and fantasy. I was homeschooled as well, and I did a ton of Bible quizzing as a kid. Honestly, I can totally…[Read more]

*Creeps in, face hidden in the depths of my cowl. Waves a greeting to Kitty.*

Good day, I have entered here to expound unto you my delight in your books and presence.

*After my fervent salutation, I slip off into the snow, the snow swept clean by the hem of my kirtle.*

Пока!

@koshka

Okay so first of all, I love this! The prologue was very poetic and although it wasn’t evident that the characters were wolves until the line of wolfish pride was mentioned, I thought it was very good. (Love that line btw).

Alright so here’s a weird thing I love looking at in fiction: the weather. I adored the weather and the aes…[Read more]

@koshka

XD You’ll get there.

I was surprised those were his first fictional novels. That’s some Godly inspiration right there.

@elishavet-pidyon

George Macdonald? I don’t recognize that name. Andrew Peterson quotes him?

@anatra23 @koshka

Wasn’t it? And it’s good to end a series before it gets fizled out. He ends it with “Hey, there’s more coming, it’ll be better than what’s here, but that’s a new epoch. Let’s go and have our own adventures.”

And I love the George MacDonald quote as the epigraph. It’s so perfect.

Plus,(sorry this has been a bit of a ramble) if…[Read more]
