Elizabeth

So y’all have inspired me to try my hand at making a collage 😀 Here is one for my dear boy Arvi:

@scripter-of-kingdoms This is such a neat idea!!! Thank you for tagging me 😀 I’m currently doing my level best to graduate college rather busy at this moment, so I don’t know how involved I can be, but please keep me in the loop!

@wyn-rose What a cool topic!! I don’t have a ton of titles to share (I guess that’s what comes from only having two major WIPs over the course of several years) but I’d love to talk about my thought process behind each one. 😀

The Drakesbanes. Originally just “Drakesbane.” So, back when I started this dear story of mine way back in 2013, the plot…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Hehe, thanks 😀 I’m rather fond of the lad myself (he was my main character for a hot second, actually), even if he does little but complain. 😛 Oooh, please post them if you find any!!

@abigail-m Thank you so much!! 😀

@writerlexi1216 Thanksss 😀 They’re from dear Arvi’s POV, aka my constantly disgruntled water mage. Please post more of your quotes!! I’ve loved reading them 😀

@e-k-seaver That got a snicker out of me both times I read it. *applauds*

I’m reviving this topic because I just found some more quotes I wanted to share:

“I’m not afraid of you,” I said.

He chuckled. “Then you are more a fool than I remembered.”

And:

“I said, this is stupid,” I said louder, on the off chance he hadn’t heard me. “We’ve been out here for hours. The sun’s almost up.” I pulled my cloak tighter around my…

@nova21 Wow, that’s such a neat writing routine!! Now I want a fitness cube. 😀

Heh, I would love to have a better “routine,” but honestly, most of my writing happens during class. (Don’t tell my professors.) Last semester I would try to write after breakfast/reading my Bible, but that time has now been filled by other things.

Also, to add to…[Read more]

@lucy Hello and welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! I’m Elizabeth, and it’s so very nice to meet you. Would you care for a virtual cup of tea? I’m particularly partial to Wild Berry Zinger at the moment.

The War of the Two Worlds sounds so interesting!! How long have you been working on it? I’m also a fantasy fiction lover, so I can tell we’re going…[Read more]

@joy-caroline What an excellent question! Are you thinking of picking up a nonfiction project? Because that would be so cool 😀

Thinking back to when I was a teen (wow that makes me sound old), I wish I would have found more encouragement-heavy inspirational books. Like, the encouragement that one is loved and known by God, etc., if that makes sense.

@gracie-j Aww, thank you!! Your comment made me smile quite big. I appreciate you taking the time to read it!

@nova21 Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate your kind words 😀 I’ll definitely post more in that case! (Once I wrangle my second chapter into some semblance of order, that is.) Thank you for reading!!

@writerlexi1216 Aw, thanks–I’m…[Read more]

@gracie-j Gracie!!! Your quotes are so lovely!! I want to like, embroider one on a wall hanging or something.

@joy-caroline Ahhh, I love those!!

@godlyfantasy12 Ooh I already love Cecily! I get such a clear picture with just that one quote.

@e-k-seaver Hah, I love that. XD

@writerlexi1216 Hehe, thanks! I could definitely see Caira saying that.…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

*ahem*

LEXI THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, you had me hooked from the first paragraph!! I already feel like I get such a clear image of Caira and her personality. (Also, I want an owl now. Dangit.) You’re incredible at description–everything felt so vivid and had a definite aesthetic to it. (Side note about that–I was…[Read more]

@jodi-maile Hmm, that’s an excellent question…I remember liking The Marvelous Misadventures of Sebastian quite a bit. Also The Gawgon and the Boy (which is more along the lines of realistic fiction than fantasy). Also Time Cat, because, you know, cats. 😀

Wow, that’s so neat!!! And haha, I feel you with the whole getting-…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 I love the idea of this topic so much! Thank you for starting it!!!

Here’s one:

Years of sitting in on meetings I did not understand, and the gradual, numbing understanding that there was nothing in the world that could not be bought and sold for a few parcels of land or a title flooded into my mind. “I see.”

And anot…[Read more]

@kayleigh-idea Oh, what a lovely topic!! I can’t wait to check out everyone’s blogs!

Mine is https://www.lewilliamsauthor.com. I haven’t been super active on there because I’m currently slogging my way through working on my senior thesis school has been a bit intense, but I hope to change that in the very near future.

@jodi-maile Hello!! I’m Elizabeth, and it’s so very nice to meet you. 😀

*gasp* Someone else who’s read the Chronicles of Prydain! Have you read any of the rest of Lloyd Alexander’s books?

Also, hi, fellow BA in English in the making here. *waves* That’s so neat that you’re doing it entirely online!! What has that process been like?

@writerlexi1216 Just stopping by to say that I’ve been dying to read this ever since you tagged me and will do so very soon–it’s just…you know how it is. *ghastly specter of school looms over my shoulder, cackling* Thank you so much for sharing and tagging me!!!! I’m so excited to get a peek into Caira’s story! 😀

@writerlexi1216 I would be honored for you to read it!!! Thank you so much for being willing to do so 😀 (And please, don’t feel rushed. It’s not like I’m on a deadline or anything, lol :P)
