Yeah, nothing I wouldn’t mind reading myself, not to mention a ten year old at our church. Especially when I’m trying to make a very Christain point about the passing of mantles. No need the have my good be evil spoken of!

Ugh, yeah, it is so irritating when a word is placed in the wrong era. I mean, some words don’t matter,…[Read more]

@koshka

Thanks!

I love your titles! And your books sound cool — I love the fact you have this sibling aspect in 1 and 3😊. Nothing better than some good sibling banter and play offs. A question — are your books about actual animals, or hybrid human-animal type beings, or about humans who are part of a group that call themselves animals?

My sto…[Read more]

@koshka I’m so glad you’ve asked about this honestly cuz it’s been a hot minute since I’ve really talked about Nyx as a character I think lol

@koshka I LOVE ANIMALS!!! And I LOVE FENNEC FOXES!!  I actually plan to own one, along with other animals (I have 2 turtles, and 2 beagles)
Nyx’s name doesn’t rlly mean anything except what the word means, but I thought it was extremely cute and fitting for a fox of his size, personality and just was overall perfect, and I love it so much…[Read more]

@koshka ahhh!! I’m actually rlly glad u asked cuz that means u hopefully like it (at first I thought it was a bit stupid.) it is actually just the word Garden mixed up and with an apostrophe added! Ara’s homeland has a huge, gorgeous garden (based off of Eden from the Bible) so yea 😊 A’Grend is just Garden all jumbled up

I like it too. It has some rather deep thoughts hidden in it. Yes, the tone change is thrilling!

@koshka

@koshka

I like it! This is a very rallying battle song. I love the tone change.

Ugh, I can’t remember…, but I have had many ideas from listening to music, especially worship/altar. For example, the soloist sings something like: “You didn’t think you’d make it through the night,/ It’s a wonder you survived,/ but you’re still here…” And a sunrise-on-the-battlefield scene pops into my head. Also I have a habit of listening…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon Thanks!

@koshka Thanks!! Tyroll is younger brother 🙂

@anatra23 hehehe thanks 😉 yep, she be rebel

@koshka

XD oh no…

I was helping with a kindergarten class at my church for a week, and we were talking about things that we used to like but now we don’t (as a way to illustrate a lesson abt transformation in Christ) and one of the little girls raised her hand and said very boldly and sincerely, “My baby brother.”

I was dying.

@koshka

Np! I’ll tell my friend you said thanks 😉

Lol, I’m sure you were a delightful 7-year-old.

Also, I wasn’t excepting this, he said to get the bow redhaired every 12-18 months.

@koshka

He said it was unlikely the problem was the age of you rosin, it’s possible it would mess up your playing if it is bad rosin(I’m not 100% sure what that means)
Have you gotten your bow redhaired recently?

@koshka
Oof, sorry I’m so late!

What size violin do you have?

@keilah-h Thanks! I did see it, now you’re making me think I’ll have to try the Wings of Fire series😁

@koshka Thanks! That’s cool!

@anatra23 Yes, I’m doing a round of beta reading for it now, and then I’ll probably do another couple of editing passes, maybe one more round of beta readers, before trying to pitch it to agents. It’s 180k words, though, so I’m gonna have to be creative and precise in order to sell them on it — YA fantasy isn’t normally that long&#x1f60…[Read more]

@koshka

Thanks!

Up to the 3rd/2 and a half/beta reader draft of my first book, and the first draft of my second book. The next three books are only in my head at this stage😅

@elishavet-pidyon

Poor Rubin ;-; will be missed.

@koshka

In Korean, literally everything (almost,) is spelled solely based on the way it sounds. So, thankfully, I don’t encounter too many spelling errors of my own.
Random question, does Russian have any loan-words?

BQ? I am unfamiliar with this.

Whoops, I meant college Korean text book. A big…[Read more]

Thanks! @koshka

I make up my names, but based them on Spanish and Japanese pronunciation (the only two languages I’ve ever studied.) As a result, here’s a short list of some of my characters’ names:

Salvárdé, Méyárco, Iéto, Mérar, Shinarvé, Zarvéna, Yáléa, Lína, Riézon.

I use the Spanish rule that any time there’s an é with the flick over it, i…[Read more]

@koshka

Oof, Korean is hard sometimes. I think I only struggle mostly with pronouncing the vowel sounds accurately… and sentence structure… and formal tones… and… you get the picture. It’s great to learn tho!
Learning is made a lot easier, since I’ve been blessed with a tutor who’s half Korean, and can speak and read it. I was nannying…[Read more]
