  • Okay, y’all, so I recently finished my YA fantasy novel.

    *cues the high-pitched screams*

    But my next project is a middle-grade novel featuring a 12-year-old MC who gets herself into all sorts of scrapes.

    The problem is, I’m not naturally a humorous writer. It’s something I’m trying to work on in this story, true, but a very not funny writer…[Read more]

  • Hello, one and all! For those of you who are newer, we used to have some topics called “Writer’s Corner” or something like that, but I’m far too lazy to search for the previous ones or consult how many of these we have been through, so we can just start a new one.

    This thread is just a place for off-topic chats, where we can talk about our day or…[Read more]

    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]

    I never really thought of it as beautiful, just home.

    Yep. XD

    Snow is good, as long as you don’t have to travel in it and the power doesn’t go out.

    I do like living here. We have strong churches and ——-. (I vehemently dislike politics)

    I have never moved, but as my parents were both born in other states (to Texas folks)…[Read more]

    Aren’t they? 🙂 Yeah, the Badlands are amazing.

    Those places sound soooooo pretty. I love looking down on a forest, especially when it’s very lush or colorful.

    I’ve heard about Glacier National park but never been. Once our family hiked Multnomah Falls in Washington, and since we hadn’t thought to bring any water, (not the most…[Read more]

    I live in the Piney woods of East Texas, so round topped pines and ceder (The type of evergreens that explode pollen in the spring). We don’t get much snow, and when we do it’s usually just a dusting on top of ice, and it never stays long. However, every other year or so, we get a winter storm around February. The roads, and…[Read more]

    The most beautiful place… My family has traveled much around the US to see family, so it’s hard to decide. Or remember.

    • Tacoma Narrows and the Puget Sound with the tide rushing in.
    • An overlook near Snoqualmie Pass (In the winter).
    • This valley in Wyoming where you can stand on one rise and look across at the mountains…

    Welcome!

    Really? Me too. (Okay, okay, 😉 )

    That is difficult to answer.

    My family has traveled all over the U. S., so I’ve seen some absolutely breathtaking places, and they’re all that way for different reasons.

    Aha! *Idea dawns* The altar at a camp meeting or conference when God is moving. 🙂

    But more fitting to the…[Read more]

    @lana-blanchard Cool, we can meet at half-moon medicine cat meeting!

    @lana-blanchard

    Ooooo, it’s a nice name.

    Thanks! I’m trying to work them through.

    Your themes are absolutely fantastic!

    Hmmm. I don’t know whether I’d rather breath underwater or walk on air, but I think the latter has a slight edge over the other.

    Either historical or non-magical medieval fantasy. I love history, so….

    As pleasing as the…[Read more]

    *Grins* Thanks!

    A poetical mood had me captive. My best (and worst) writing comes from those. =|

    Ah, yes, I like Jolly Ranchers, especially the green apple ones. You?

    If you could have any animal real or otherwise as a pet what would it be?

     

  • Keilah H. replied to the topic Hello! in the forum Start HERE 2 years, 4 months ago

    @lana-blanchard Cool! I’m a medicine cat too. Which clan would you likely be in? From there I could figure out a name for you.

     

    Are you kidding? Loki was absolutely hilarious! And now that I’ve watched it I can keep up with my friends, who happen to be obsessed with it. (Side note–I gave them warrior names: Thorblaze and Lokitooth. I do that…[Read more]

    Indeed! Me, myself, and I do have other aliases. Another name of moi is the Black Mongoose. *Takes a bow*

    Who wouldn’t want to jump out of a plane? Me! (Despite me being so marvelous, I am also in fact a tad bit fearful of heights.)

    Greetings! I’m called Elishavet around here.

    I love your last name, and how is it pronounced, if that’s all right?

    Your books sound interesting indeed! I’m also looking forward to incorporating massive themes into my WIPs. What themes are you using?

    Mine are something like: for Eirtan, callings, hope in loss, and God’s plan on…[Read more]

    You profile pic is so pretty, and your books sound interesting.

    I like to write plays. I want to write novels. Here is the series I’m working on.

    The first two my series are set in a  medieval time period, while the last is sort of World War/War on Terror time. I am using animal characters (sort of like Green Ember or Redwall)…

    Heyyy!  I’m Ella, nice to meet you!!!  Lana is such a pretty name <3

    Oh yes, fantasy is amazinggg.  I’m going back and forth between two WIPs:  Project Emiyn (em-eye-in), where Earth’s climate is failing, and people have no choice but to go to space.  Emiyn was chosen to be one of the Candidates for the space exploration, but…[Read more]

    @lana-blanchard My favorite colors are blue and orange. And no, I don’t consider that spamming.

    I love Warrior Cats too!! My warrior name is Jayheart, I’m a WindClan medicine cat. Have you ever given yourself a warrior name? What was your fanfic about?

    Of the marvel movies I’ve watched (which is, like, five of them) I think Thor Ragnarok was t…[Read more]

    @lana-blanchard Hello!! I’m Keilah. Your book sounds cool! I love writing fanfiction, but I’m guessing that doesn’t count toward what you’re asking. Other than that, I love sci-fi and fantasy, and I’m writing a dystopian-type novel.
