Hello! So nice to meet you, and thanks!

It’s been great, definitely better this last school year. I feel like I’m just getting the hang of things and now it’s ending!

I would love that. I am going to start editing it soon, but I’ve been so busy.

It has been far too long! So much has been happening in my life. But most importantly…

I finished my book!

At least, the first draft. Still, that was a mountain I was so happy to climb. I transferred it all to Reedsy after Grammerly abandoned my google doc, and finished all 115k words of the manuscript from there. It still has…[Read more]

Yeah, magic in fantasy doesn’t bother me either, but when it gets dark it becomes a problem. Also when it becomes borderline pantheism like the force in Star Wars and that kind of stuff. This is something that bothers me in the Wheel of Time books that I’m reading right now. It gets a little iffy there with the evil magic system, but it…[Read more]

So… The reason Conrad and Caleb sent Evander and some other people to get Willow is because they didn’t think she would come willingly. One way I wrote this before was that Kydon got a message to bring Willow too, but she was gone. This brought up the problem of if Cassius knew that both were there, why didn’t the…[Read more]

Bum Bum BUMMMMMM!

Kydon woke to a rustling outside his window. His sleep-heavy eyes looked up and saw Tornado, Conrad’s falcon. The blue-gray bird had a small scroll strapped onto his foot. Kydon wrapped a blanket around his arm and put it in front of the falcon, who quickly stepped on it. He untied the black satin scroll f…[Read more]

YESSS! My sister reads agonizingly slow. I mean EVERY WORD. It drives me crazy!!

Would love to see your WIP!

What kind of dog do you have?

I am pretty proud of myself when I manage to make up names 🤣 But I love Irish and Welsh names like Elowen and Evander. Some that I thought up are Phendra and Kydon. Russian cities give me good ideas for names. Kedon and Serov (best name for a villain!) are a couple.

OH MY GOSH!!! I have literally mastered the art of skimming!!!!! I just got the first Wheel of Time book yesterday and I’m already 250 pages into it!!! I think there are 12 large books in the series! Yippee! I finish everything as quickly as possible so I can read, write, or play the piano!! I had no clue that other people…[Read more]

That’s so cool! I started reading the Wheel of Time series yesterday and I love it! It definitely helps to read other books to inspire writing.

Heterochromia is really rare especially to run in a family, but hey! it’s a fantasy world.  I really love how the possibilities are endless because of the fact that science doesn’t really have to have a part in it although I do love genetics and science. I’ve met someone with blue and green eyes, but no one else in the family had that.…[Read more]

Mmmmm… Willow and Kydon are the only Tarnas mentioned in the first chapter. So, Savyn and Lucius Tarna are their parents, but that isn’t mentioned until this last chapter. I hope that makes sense!

Realizing that Kydon really does need to know things about his parents/past. A theme of Willow in this book is that she has bursts of temper and then drastically changes her mind later. < I do this… Conflicting emotions about past events are the main reason behind this. You’ll see more later of this type of thing with…[Read more]

“What are you thinking?” Willow shouted. She snatched the sword from Kydon, sheathed it, and flung it back at a stunned Caleb.

“Willow, it has been a long time.” Caleb stood with tears in his eyes. A long time? Kydon thought. Willow had never met the twins!<…[Read more]

To make up for the strange start to the day, Conrad let Kydon pick a sword to polish. Conrad and Caleb had a whole collection of swords and bows from the Uprising and with each weapon, there was a plethora of stories to go with it. Kydon thought about pushing the question of the crates that morning, but he…[Read more]

@grcr

Arriving at the twin’s home, Kydon shook himself from his reverie. But just before he crested the hill, he stopped. He heard a sound that he had not heard since before O’Fell was a ruin—the jingle of a horse’s reins and the creak of a wagon. Kydon dropped to all fours and crawled to peek over the top of the hill.

A large w…[Read more]

Ok! I will work on that!

Conrad and Caleb have a last name… but unfortunately, it can not be disclosed at this time in the story…

The next chapter ^

A man of about forty, Kydon guessed, opened the door after hearing a crash to a distraught and horrified Kydon. But Kydon had never been, and still was not, one to shrink back at embarrassment. He brushed himself off and shook his hand.

“Hi, I’m Kydon Tarna, and my sister, Willow, and I live acr…[Read more]

So… His giving the muffins to the twins is a flashback of sorts. I really need to fix it so it isn’t so confusing as to when the flashbacks start and end. Thanks for the input! I’ll try to add the next chapter soon.

Kydon Tarna ran out the door, heedless of his sister’s fussing.

“Don’t stay there too long, and mind what you say!” Willow was standing in the doorway, telling Kydon everything he already knew.

“I will,” Kydon called over his shoulder, “I always do!”

“And yo…[Read more]

He is in metallurgical engineering, so more of the chemistry and post-apocalyptic things. And planet colonizing I believe.

I haven’t really done a lot of worldbuilding at this point, other than places and traditions and stuff. I would probably lean more toward soft worldbuilding because I would rather spend more time in the book…[Read more]

I love suspense, although I have only watched suspense movies.

My WIP isn’t really focused on it, but a couple of crucial parts involve romance. Mostly with the older MC because she almost married someone before they got captured, then someone from her past who she was betrothed to comes back into the story. So her…[Read more]

Whew! All the questions!

1. People like myself, honestly. My sister pointed this out because Willow is how I am around strangers. But Kydon is how I am around my siblings and good friends at 3 a.m.!

2. Janner! From the Wingfeather Saga

3. C.S. Lewis, Jesus, and my Grandfather.

Miniature Poodle, my family breeds them for shows and companions.

@whalekeeper

Ohhhh I have heard of those. I would say cottage-core or kind of basic white-girl-type things.

@thearcaneaxiom

Cool! My brother is an engineering student, and he is making a sci-fi space fantasy book too! *whispers* I don’t understand half of…[Read more]

Green and pink! I’m a Spring, so I look better in those colors.

Had to do a quick Google search to see what a penny farthing was, they looked scary! I would like to go on a double-decker bus!

Ummmm not sure what you mean by that…

@acanello

Wingfeather Saga!

I swim competitively. I am also competing at my first dog show in…[Read more]

Andrew Peterson, J.R.R. Tolkien, and C.S. Lewis.

Nope! A hot dog is a hot dog. the bread goes on the sides, not the top.

Thanks!

Do you mean a specific personality test? I’ve taken a couple. I am a 4-wing 5 enneagram (as is Andrew Peterson, ironically) and an INTJ on the…[Read more]
