@annabelle Oh, nice! I was homeschooled as well. And I still hand write a lot of things, for some reason.

It sounds like you guys make a good team! How many siblings do you have?

@avacoulter Sounds like maybe you’re up for a novellette or novella, haha.

What other things are you into?

Wow, we do share quite a few favorite authors!

You like researching/designing fashion? Approximately, what eras hold the most interest for you, and what do you enjoy about it?

Personally, I enjoy learning about and recreating old clothing because I love history, and anyway, it’s great for world building! (Plus, hey, dressing up is fun.) 😉

@annabelle

Hmm, I’m not sure. The most similar thing besides angels (not fantasy, agreed) I can think of is either a pegasus or a huge eagle.

An eagle with a ten foot wingspan, strong protective instincts, and ready to sacrifice all if it would help those close to it.

@annabelle Well, I am pretty old, so it matches up in proportion XD

Wow, does your whole family do writing-related activities?

@annabelle Nice, nice! I’ve been playing piano for almost thirteen years now, and my teacher assigns me classical music, but I like playing pretty songs I hear.

Do you have any other projects you’re working on, (or plan to work on) after Identity?

And yes, that was MUCH more than needed. I got a bit carried away, I’m afraid.

My sincere apologies.

@joy-caroline

Thank you! (It’s a phrase deeply precious to me.)

Yours is beautiful too. I love a good quote!

As for my allegorical WIP, not only would I like to share it, but I need to hash it out with someone other than my sister. (Not that that is her fault, she’s a wonderful person to work stuff over with, and she’s welcome to comment on it,…[Read more]

@avacoulter

I don’t know if I’m good at world building, but I completely agree. It’s fun.

Ban Rona was a mess. Yes, I fought, what’s more, I fought for my life. Those battles are longer in experience than in the records.

Edmund taught you? Wow, that must have been an amazing experience. I’m currently under the training of Master Sejus. 😉

@annabelle

I heard a few if the Piano Guys’ stuff, but it was a while ago. They’ve done a lot of good arrangements basing off what I’ve heard.

Yep, Beethoven’s work is beautiful, but I’m definitely not there yet. 😉

Who’s my favorite wingfingy character? Artham, Janner, or Kalmar, but perhaps Sarah or Arundel? (Or Nia…) It’s hard to choose,…[Read more]

@annabelle Heyy and welcome to the Kingdom! I’m Linyang, though most here call me Lin. Nice to meet you!

Identity sounds fascinating! Are you going to be self-publishing it?

I also play piano! How long have you been playing?

@avacoulter I’ve written/am working on a ton of projects right now, short stories, web fiction, novels, novellas… I like short stories because they’re quick and you can have instant satisfaction of finishing them, but also I tend to only write short story beginnings and nothing else, which is annoying on my part, haha.

@kathleenramm

I’m still rather new to this, so I’ll probably be coming up with great answers for this question in about two to three years. 😉

However, I do wish I understood both the importance of developing my characters and not to be afraid to change something even after months of work. Also, just to think through where I want my story to…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Oh no! XD

So far I’ve loved shaping a little mirror of reality, so I hope as I get more in-depth it won’t stage a mutiny or petrify into something else. The one I’m the most concerned over is my allegorical series. It’s just not an anything-goes-here kind of situation when it’s a figure of Christianity and salvation. (Eeek!)

@kathleenramm When I first started writing, I wish I had known that it’s okay to make sloppy first drafts. Trying to make my story great the first time slowed me down and often left me discouraged about my writing.

@joy-caroline

Sorry I took a while to respond. Anyway, yay! I don’t know exactly how I’ll work it, but it’ll definitely be something like that. Yes, fantasy is so open for creativity: that’s probably why I’ve ended up in that genre.

@avacoulter

Ah, plotting is climbing a mountain: hard, but worth it at the top. Your WIP sound so interesting. I’ve never read dystopian, but yours captures one of my all-time favorite themes: ‘what is truth?’. Yeah, definitely a book I might read.

Kigor was known for its lamp oil and towers, which meant that when the Island was razed, it went…[Read more]

@annabelle

Hello there, and welcome to KP!

I’m called Elishavet Pidyon around here. *Curtsies* It’s nice to meet you.

What songs do you like to play the most? I’m just learning to read music.
I love art too, meaning that I can paint some, but mostly draw, and enjoy photography. Your art sounds interesting. I’ve not really tried hand lettering…[Read more]

@avacoulter Yeah, I agree, there is a balance to find.

Do you write a lot of short stories or have you just been working on this main project?

Hi, @annabelle !

Ach! Those are all great characters. Artham is probably my absolute favorite, but, yeah, it’s hard to choose. 😉
