My mom says “good gravy!” XD XD
I have a friend who once said “I don’t give two flying squirrels”. I mean it kind of is like you’re trying to cuss without actually doing it, but I still thought it was funny lol
I just make up swear words with my fantasy language. That way my characters can “swear” without actually being…[Read more]

Some of my pets are “Good grief” which can be an exclamation, a groan, or an angry shout. Also “Shoot,” “Arrrrgh!” (Like a pirate,) which can be used in times of frustration. “Blast” “Oh Blast” and “Blast it!” which are all British. Also “Cripes” or “Crikey!” and also “Fay’s teeth!” (A dangerous type of fairy in Scottish…[Read more]

UGH! It ate my reply AGAIN!! I’m gonna lose it. I can’t even remember everything i said. Grrrrrrrrrr.
Ok, yes there is humor, especially from Friedrich’s mentor and ally, though he himself is pretty funny at times, and Christine can be too. The humor is not the main point of the story though. It’s the salt to the meal. ya…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint lol when Oliver says “It’s good” and the narrator, whoever they are, says “He’s lying, it’s delicious” got me.
ooh also! I have an idea. I noticed lyen names are always lion-related, like you said, but I realized there’s only so many words you can use and you’d have to have a TON of repeats. So I thought, how about use other…[Read more]

YESSSSSSSSSS I LOVE THAT SCENE!!!!!!!!!
in case you didn’t notice.
Wow! I love these thoughts! Everything that you said was EXACTLY spot on to what I wanted you (the reader) to get from this scene! I LOSE IT when characters become super Christians, cupids and choir boys, or milksops after they become Christians. I think I…[Read more]

here ya go.
Aaron couldn’t breathe. He braced himself, knowing full well that there was nothing he could do. Is this really how it ends? He wondered.
“Wait! He’s not a spy!” yelled Turin. “I swear it by the standing stone!”
Everyone froze, and in the silence that followed the sound of the trickling fountain was deafening.…

Ha!! LOVE IT!!!!
Standing there and watching like everyone else. She’s not the main point of this scene.
Want the next one?

Awesome!
Sooooo, if you picked up this book would you read it? (It’s okey if you wouldn’t. I’m just trying to gauge my potential audience for this one.)

Annnnnd the next scene!
The next morning, Aaron and Turin got up early. After breakfast began their walk to the village. Turin told Sabina to come with them, saying it was to keep her safe. Secretly he hoped she would believe when she heard Aaron speak.
When the three arrived, Aaron found…[Read more]

Ah, thank you for that.
as for what just happened…… it was just some innocent girl chatter that I’m afraid you wouldn’t understand. *blinks sweetly and puts on innocent face*

Next section!!
It was nearly dark when the two rose to head back to the house. Turin laid a hand on Aaron’s shoulder. “Aaron, I am sorry,” he said.
“What for?” asked Aaron.
“For the way I have treated you and encouraged Sabina to treat you. We were both wrong, and I am most to blame,” s…[Read more]

OH MY GOODNESS that’s awesome!!!! (If it’s anything like my first book you are not going to believe it even when the book is in your hand!) You have to let me know the minute it’s for sale. Any idea on price range? I’m setting aside a twenty at the moment, cause I’m guessing it’ll range somewhere around there?
Oh man, I got…[Read more] -

Would you mind looking at my novel? You don’t have to if your busy, but the more people critiquing it, the more it motivates me to write!!

SLAYING SARAAAA ✨✨ replied to the topic The Narrow Path Trilogy Book I: The Cost in the forum Novel Critique Requests 2 years, 2 months ago
I read up until Chapter the Fifth!!!
You are an amazing writer, it’s really good, I feel like I’m reading a published book!!!!
I’ll read Chapter the Sixth as soon as I can get to it.
No, I don’t think Alan seems inconsistent from what I’ve read so far!
