1. Plenty.
2. For any of them probably just number 4.
3. Worst, like, most evil or worst written? I feel like I’ve read/watched a lot of awful villains, but I can’t really think off the top of my head the most evil.
4. A lot, haha, but then I warp them enough that no one can recognise them.

Karissa Chmil started the topic Mark of the Lion Series (Storytelling Vs. Writing) in the forum Book Discussions 2 years, 9 months ago
Hey, writers!
At the moment, I’m re-reading Francine River’s Mark of the Lion series (sooooo good, but research it first since it does deal with some very dark things). And I’m noticing something again – she head hops like crazy.
And states the character’s emotions a ton.
And. . . [insert long list of don’ts as far as writing goes]
But…[Read more]

Exactly! Long, deep conversations are my favorite, but it’s often hard to find people to have them with (or specific topics for discussion, lol). God has really blessed me with the friends I can have those conversations with, whether those discussions happen often or only on occasion.

There are so many people. My mom (encouraging me to read, allowing me to pursue writing for a good chunk of my homeschooling, critiquing my work over the years, etc.), my dad (he has a book started that I’m excited to read one day, he got me started reading fantasy, he’s also helped edit my work from time to time, etc.), my writing groups…[Read more]

Not a part of it (yet), but I’ve done a ton of research on it, talked to multiple students who are in it, talked aback and forth with some of their admissions people. . .
And it is fantastic. I’ve heard so many good things about it and am planning on joining in the somewhat near future.
So I’d say, 100%, at least submit an…[Read more]

Autumn was my first pen name! I was going to go by Autumn Meadowlark for a while, but I picked R.M. Archer after I decided “Meadowlark” was too weird, lol. Autumn is a lovely name. ^-^

XD I love it.
Hehe, feel you on that one. 😋 No worries!

OoOoOoOOo THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!! I am EXTREMELY stoked for the Reflections released.

@scoutfinch180 Interpolation is when your mind fills in the gaps, for example, you read a brief description of a character but a few pages later you already have their face in your mind. It’s pretty cool!

@kathleenramm Hmmm most recently probably comes from my English professor. Probably: “If there’s an upper word count limit then it means that this assignment can be done very well and with quality in this word count or under.” I guess overall, length isn’t everything.
Oh, and there was talk about interpolation and sensory description and…[Read more]

XD One of my favorite parts when I lived in Europe was getting to see all those traces of the medieval age – castles, fortresses, palaces. . . it was awesome.
Indeed he did.
XD Sounds lovely.
If I may venture to ask, what does your signature mean?

Also, if you just want to skip to the second chapter to read what i wrote, you can. You don’t need to read the first chapter to understand the second chapter.

Hey yo, not-so-secret fam!
Contrary to popular belief, I actually DO write from time to time. And it’s actually REALLY GOOD. No cap. Like, Tolkien’s got nothing on me. C.S. Lewis? He came back from the dead JUST to get my autograph. And Shakespeare has been real quiet ever since I have started writing. And that’s a FACT.
Anywaaaays. I’m gonna…[Read more]

Thanks for helping me understand a bit better!
Also, sorry if I sounded a bit “un-gracious” there, but I guess what I meant wasn’t anything against the author, but the story. (I’m also a terrible writer, and it would indeed be bad news for me if the notion of improvement didn’t exist). So to rephrase: If the characters, world, an…[Read more]
