@keilah-h @joy-caroline @elishavet-pidyon
Ooo, y’alls’ characters sound awesome!
(Uh, Elishavet, I was totally seeing William with blond hair blue eyes. The name makes me think Saxon [even though it’s Norman])
So, here is a

Hi, and pleased to meet you!
Persuasion is my absolute favorite J. A. novel. Yes, I like it better than Pride and Prejudice. Ann always seemed to me to have a much stronger true character than Elizabeth. I like her other books, but that one…

@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]

Ohhh that’s a great piece of advice!! I’ll have to try that!
I’m not sure this is really counted as ‘advice’ or not, but once I was talking to my dear friend Elfwing. Now, she’s great at sticking with her world and exploring it in different books, kind of like Tolkien does. I, however, am the exact opposite. For me, there are just so many worlds…[Read more]

What’s the most recent valuable piece of advice you’ve been given about writing?
Almost everything I learned about writing is from my older sister. She’s legit one of my favorite authors and that’s not because she’s my sister it’s because her writing is just that good.So, of course, I often ask her for advice. Recently I asked her if she had a t…[Read more]

Yeah, the characters are really fun. (By the way, I love the part in the end where the book offhandedly mentions his later use for the ring to avoid unwanted visitors. XD)
Sometime I’ll read them too. Whenever sometime is.
I also have trouble being satisfied with a cover idea(hopefully that just means I haven’t found the right…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic Have you ever considered writing under a pseudonym, and why or why not? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 8 months ago
Haha, yeah pseudonyms are a great chance to have the name you always wished was yours lol.
Also, I really like the meaning behind your name archer! It constantly gives you the reminder of what you are aiming towards. Plus, it sounds cool which is a bonus.
I 100% agree with you about it being so much easier being…[Read more]

Hmmm… I’m going to have to check that out. I’ll get back to you soon if I figure anything out or make any changes to the website. Thanks for letting me know about the problem! -

Poor Amy! I don’t know why, but every time I think about her artist talent, the foot and plaster incident comes to mind. When I first read LW I was more like Jo, but now I don’t line up with any of them really. *Shrug* Jo’s lines were my favorite part of the book.
Thank you from my former self. She would have been thrilled to…[Read more]

Ok, sorry it’s taken a while for me to respond. Every time I’d sit down to write my reply, something (or most likely somebody) would call me away. Ugh!
Anyway, I’m back. (And it wasn’t too long of an absence)
Yes, they can be very stubborn, and thanks!

Ooo, that would be awesome! My father has gone overseas as a missionary’s assistant, and I’m heard they’re beautiful.
So, my signature is sort of a joke. Literally translated it means: “I speak English. Glorify God!” (Or thank God as the context here implies).

Ugh, yes. That is one sad thing about being American; we never had much of a medieval age. Of course, we also never had Roman occupation so there is that. =]
Ah yes Emma. (How did I forget about her?) She does become a side MC in the last book. S. D. Smith did a good job with his characters.
Hmm, I think I would also like a…[Read more]

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]

For writing, I prefer researching earlier centuries such as the 9th-15th. Once firearms enter the scene I lose much of my interest. However, I do like researching and recreating clothing from the Victorian age.
Helmer, Whitby, Harmony, and Wilfred. I do like the MCs, especially Heather, but some of those side characters are…[Read more]

Tag me if you post it on KP! My favorite character was always Beth, but Jo definitely comes next, and Laurie’s somewhere up there too. Jane Eyre is interesting. Some of my family love it, and I enjoyed it, but it’s not one of my favorites.
No trouble worth mentioning. Actually, thank you for a good laugh. I drew this two years…[Read more]
