Esther replied to the topic Does this dialogue (and ImPOrtAnT MomEnT) feel natural? in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 7 months ago
The scene was really natural. Great job!! 😄
It also got me really curious about your worldbuilding and plot! 😏
Btw, I really like your writing style. It kinda reminds me of Andrew Peterson’s, like how you use metaphors and similes that have never been used before to describe things. I really like it! (Don’t worry though, your sty…[Read more]

Ok, ok, ok. I have to add in another couple. These two are from my WIP, but I’m going to pretend that they’ve known each other for the length of the trilogy. (Instead of where I’m at now, cuz that’s not long at all)

Somehow I missed your reply a while back… oops! XD
Nope, not bad at all…he may even get a redemption arc. 🤐
*gasp* Yes please!!! That would be awesome!!
And lol, no…but pretty close XD
Felix/Hans get their own book, The Boys do too, as does Himmler, and also Adolphus, so basically, everyone except Frida, Dietrich, Annal…

Sam: How long?
Jean: A long time.
Sam: When did we meet?
Jean: When we were little, 4 and 6 years old. We were always best friends, then as we got older..
Sam: 12 years ago! Wow… Feels like yesterday.

Cool idea!!
I’ll have to hop on here later and post something. 😀
I recently had to do a string-along story in school. Basically, the title is one word, then from there the sentences grow in length.
I just did one too!! Mine was so much shorter. XD It’s impressive that you made it that long! Great job!! 😄

Starshiness posted an update 3 years, 7 months ago
Ok so I lied, I’m sorry 😭. But the fact that it’s taken me six months to get back here is inexcusable, I should be ashamed of myself… My family just moved out of state so my life has been crazyyyy and my writing has been on hold for the past couple months 😢. Not to mention I had an enormous tragedy occur last month when our new puppy managed to…[Read more]

Aw thanks! I’m glad to be back!!!
Yes 😥. It’s sad the rest is gone, but I’m very thankful I have what I do!
I’m doing well thanks!! It’s been an adjustment living my whole life as a northerner and now transitioning to the south (don’t get me wrong though, I love it here!). I’m excited to see what God has in store for me these coming months…[Read more]

💖💖💖
I would have to agree!! Augh and people are so much NICER here, I love it 😂😂
Glad to hear it 😉😉 Mind giving me a mini update as to what you’re working on currently?? I remember your characters from a while back but understand that there’s a good possibility you’ve bounced around WIPs since then…

@freedomwriter76
Agreed!!Ahh ok, sweet! I haven’t done a lot with Raven’s Quest in the past few months 😢 (for the aforementioned reasons), but I’ve finished some short pieces I was working on, and I’ve been exploring condensed poetry forms. I actually made an insta account with some of my really short lines… it’s just for fun but it makes me…[Read more]

Hi @starishness!! Welcome back to KP! I’ve only been a member for a few months (though my number of posts my say otherwise XD). Anyway, I’m Esther: a volleyball-playing, violin-squeaking, dog-obsessed, God-loving, homeschooled, amateur writer!!
Now imma ask you some questions to get to know you better! 😀1. What’s your WIP about?

Hiiii Esther, nice to meet you and thanks for the welcome! I’m glad to be back! Woohoo I love how this place is filled with homeschoolers, makes me feel at home hahah 😆
1. My WIP is an allegorical fantasy novel called “Raven’s Quest” and it centers around a girl named Raven. The story opens with Raven learning that her Grandmother, her…[Read more]

Yes! It’s awesome how many homeschoolers are on here!! 😀
That story sounds really cool!! I know what you mean by trying to summarize your book. XD Mine centers around a journey too, so a lot happens. 😁 (I’ll share what it’s about in a second post cuz it may be kinda long 😜)
Side characters seem to often steal the author’s heart, don’t they? ;)…[Read more]

@esther-c Fr they do!! We just can’t help it 🥲
Aww he sounds so lovable! Nooo more charrie trauma 😭
Oh yes, the castles have gotta be amazing 🤩. I’ve toured a castle here in the states once before and it was sooo cool. YES the accents are so great, I love hearing different people’s accents hahah
-
Yes, Ev is so awesome!! 😁 And don’t worry, he comes to the truth eventually. 🥲 (After multiple near death encounters, someone else dying, and through the encouragement of his best friend 🙃)
-
And yes, give me Irish castles and accents any day! 😂 (Or most foreign accents really. XD)
-
@esther-c Aw well that’s good. (Oh yikes 😬)
Same here girl! XD
-
Yes! 😊 (Ikr. Writing multiple near-death encounters… just me being a normal author, am I right? 🤣)

Exactly, we all do it 🤣🤣

So, it’s called The Endoxos Trilogy. Right now I’m working on book one titled Ember of Hope. Here’s the unofficial blurb for the whole trilogy:
They’ve been trapped inside The Orb for twenty years. It covered all of Aletheia. But it slowly closes in on the nation. The people stuck inside have no way to communicate to those outside. Familie…[Read more]
-
Girl this sounds amazing!! And there are even some parallels with my WIP too which I thought was cool haha, love that for us XD. I also gotta say, your names are soooo good, I love Aletheia for the name of a country and the way it’s spelled too 👌🏽👌🏽. To me the spelling of names is as important as the pronunciation so you have my approval lol!…
-
Thanks so much!! That means a lot! 😊
The name Aletheia is Greek, actually, and it has to do with truth, because Aletheia was founded on truth. By this point though, it has strayed drastically. 😅 -
Ofc! 💖
Oh really, that’s so cool! I love it when names in books have meanings behind them that relate to the story. In RQ, the allegorical equivalent for sin is a disease called Hathiat, which is amharic (the language from Ethiopia) for sin! -
Cool!! I like using different languages for things in my WIPs!

You’re fine! Any help is appreciated, and you’ve never come off like that.
Also, if you ever do post a chapter of your WIP, I would love to read it and offer any advice I can!

Ava Murbarger (Solfyre) replied to the topic My WIP in the forum Novel Critique Requests 3 years, 7 months ago
Full honesty, I started this WIP maybe a couple months ago, so it’s not very far along yet worldbuilding-wise🤣. These are all things I’m going to have to work out. Thanks for mentioning them, because it makes things so much easier when I can have some kind of list of things to tweak or change.

They hold them to the side. My original thought was that it would be awkward- and would look strange- for them to hold it straight out. Not to get into too much detail but an enemy could just shove the handle down their throat… Yeah, so to the side. Besides, in most battles (there are few for the Felisaro anyway, as they don’t…[Read more]
