The two important items I’ve used in my writing have been a necklace, and a clay tablet. Though, I would like to use a bracelet sometime as well. It’s probably based on my personal preference, since I really don’t like anything on my fingers, including nail polish. Whereas, I like bracelets and necklaces a lot. 😛

Oh, and I was also planning on…[Read more]

Last year, my brother’s soccer team’s name was the Firehawks. I thought it was a really cool name, and later when I started my fantasy, I decided to make a creature called a Firehawk.
I also love elves and dwarves, due to my fascination with Tolkien and Lewis. I have not used them in any of my stories yet, but I pretend that I’m elvish or…[Read more]

Welcome, dear madam, to our community. 🙂 Delighted to have you.

True… True…
We have Dropbox. I might just have to use it now. 😛

Since I self-published, all my actual, finished book files are one lulu.com. Other than that, a thumbdrive is pretty reliable. I don’t think Daeus’s hypothetical situation is very likely to happen. 😉

One word that I used recently in a story is this… (Gotta make sure I’m spelling it right)
Batrachomyomachy. It basically means “making a mountain out of a molehill”.

Another one I love is paladin, which has been mentioned at least twice in this forum (sorry, 3 is my favorite number) and is also the name of one of my books!

The actor who played Eustace was Will Poulter. He’s also in “The Maze Runner”, which I haven’t seen yet, but am hoping to soon. I totally agree with you: He’s a brilliant actor! And I love how he and Reepicheep slowly become friends.
I hope they decide to make “The Silver Chair” movie. It’s one of my favorite books in the series.

I saw the eclipse too, but I didn’t realize it was THE eclipse until it was over. (oops)
I believe I heard that the blood moon was only visible on the East Coast. I’m on the West, so I just saw the eclipse. If you have any information on this subject, PLEASE let me know!

Back to subject of movies… has anyone seen the new version of “The…[Read more]

Some of these questions have been answered already, but essentially the original concept of Kingdom Cinema died because of a lack of submissions. I’ve kind of re-branded aspects of it in starting up my writing advice video series that airs once a month, but we are still open to submissions.

@Jada: I just finished Prophet and have the next one ordered from the library. It’s really good so far! 🙂 I can see a few Peleg Chronicles similarities…

@Hope: First books of the infinite, or Peleg chronicles?

They are quite insane as well…. and able to turn things away from ghostliness.

@david
Are you a Hornblower fan, by any chance?

There are dialog cliches to avoid as well.
“You’ll never get away with this!” “Oh, but I already have/Watch me.”
“It’s quiet… too quiet.”
“You should sit down.”
“Well if it isn’t___”
“How is he?” “He’ll live.”
“What just happened?”
“Whatever you do, don’t look down.”
“Stay here.” “No way, I’m coming with you.”

Usually just try and find…[Read more]

Glad to meet you. Hmm, I best be sending more OYANers this way, yes?

Oh, gosh I have the same thing happening. XD Cobalt’s supposed to be the secondary character to Jean and he’s totally taking over and running away with the show.
YES. Though Cobalt doesn’t usually notice when he says something deep. 😛
No, he’s actually in my first book, the sci-fi. I’ll try and get a picture of the cover here:

It majorly needs…[Read more]

Well… lovely. So’s Denholm. 😀

Well, then. Now I’m even more interested in Denholm. XP Those guys kinda tend to steal the spotlight and become a reader favorite. That explains Denholm’s instant popularity on here. 😉

Historical fiction, sci-fi, western, humor… and dipping my toes into an obscure genre of fantasy. So yeah. I’ll borrow your phrase that I’m a fiction writer. Good answer. ;P
