@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]

@koshka

Oh cool!

@elishavet-pidyon

Fantasy sounds right. If it’s more along a realistic trail like Rangers apprentice, I suppose it might be midieval fantasy.(prolly my fave genre)

How you’ve described is pretty much how I construct my book too! Usually when I’m thinking of scenes, I kind of let them roll around in my head for a bit then slap them on some paper.…[Read more]

@scoutfinch180

Poor Jake… :'( Love the lines, though!

@elishavet-pidyon

Ruben sounds like an amazing brother and an amazing character! I’m a fan already. 🙂

@koshka

Agh, I love the accent! Otto sounds like a fun guy. XD

@issawriter7

Aww, thank you so much! <3333

*chilled by first two lines* *heartbroken by the last line* I wanna…[Read more]

@power
I’m stealing your character’s catchphrases 

@elishavet-pidyon
This is very thought out for a book without a draft. What’s the books genre?

@koshka
Idk why, this sounds Russian to me, I love it XD

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

Those quotes are perfect XD
Swag ain’t to be worried B)

@koshka

Oh kool! We just have quizzing for grades 7-12.

International is where the best quizzers from each district go and quiz against each other. (Each district send like 1 or 2 teams.)

@koshka That’s was good! lol 🤣

@koshka gotcha!! Well here is a link to that Bible study! It’s called into his marvelous light!

@koshka
I go to GDAC church. This is my fourth year quizzing and my first year as captain. Do you quiz in a distrect? And if you do, do you have internationals for your quizzing?

@koshka I haven’t taught many Bible studies myself so it would be more practice for me as well 😊

@koshka

Of course you can!! I’ve finished my Into His Marvelous Light Study with Joy, but if you’d like me to teach you a Bible study, I’d be happy to!! I’d probably start a new forum post if that’s ok. (:

@koshka

I’m a Bible Quizzer too! What Church do you go to?

@kathleenramn

For me my biggest weakness would be that I’m terrible at getting what I’m seeing in my head into words. I’ve had the same book I’ve been trying to work on for 3-4 years and only have 3 or 4 chapters on it (a chapter a year. Lol). @koshka I can totally relate to you.

I’d say my strength would be world building. I almost have a bo…[Read more]

@koshka

Nice to meet you! You’re story ideas sound fascinating!

One tip i can offer for finishing stories i recently discovered (being very terrible at finishing my writings) is to have an ending in mind when you start out. You can experiment with differing things, but so far, I’ve found it really helps me to have a loose idea of where I’m…[Read more]

@koshka

Good poetry advice. That’s kind of what I’ve found free-writing or pantsing my book looks like.

Ikr? Wearing socks inside out is fine with me, but the holes–no matter how I try and patch them up–I can’t XD

You can tag the person you’re responding to if you want. It just notifies them (usually via email) that you’re addressing them.…[Read more]

@koshka I love C.S. Lewis too! I used to have a list of poets/poetry that I liked, I’ll be sure to send some of my favorites your way if I find it again 🙂

@koshka

Hello! Welcome to the Kingdom! I’m Jodi, I write a lot of things but fantasy, historical fiction, and dystopia are my go-to genres.

I have to tell you that I love the sound of your books!! They totally sound like something I would have stayed up waaaay too late reading when I was in middle school and had more time to read 🙂

I also love…[Read more]
