Oh my. Yes, I have considered putting an end to my writing endeavors. I have considered deleting/incinerating all my existing work. I still struggle over if being a published author is part of His plan for my life.

But the stories keep growing, deepening, branching out, untill they spill out in some form of other. I’ve tried to smother them, put…[Read more]

Yeah, it’s not really plagiarism…. I just have a talent for unwittingly using names others have either used or used similar ones. The funniest thing, is that the names aren’t usually common. I make them up myself.

Ah, that blissful book! There have been many times I’ve quoted the Hermit to myself….

Spinach coupons? Sorry, I’m all out, some giant orange lizard stole them all.

I do well on my college papers, have helped write a longish skit/short play, write poetry reasonably often, short stories less often, and ramble on in a most dignified manner over the history of the Brother-nation’s music.

I too create stories and worlds with little…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel
Ah yes, I write somewhere in that vague genre of medieval fantasy. Do you include magic or not? I honestly didn’t think I was in the afore mentioned genre as there is none in my books. But lo and behold, I am somewhere in there alright.

@avacoulter

Hello! I’m a homeschooler as well. I have recently (sometime during the last six months) found the Wingfeathers. I write medeaval fantasy, historical fiction, and Poetry.

Your WIP sounds interesting. I haven’t read any dystopian, and the only true Scifi book I have read was Thorny Twins. =] My brother has read some of both.

So, do…[Read more]

@libby

I’m pretty much like that. I love writing, whether it’s a story or an essay, but I doubt I’ll ever do it as a career. As a hobby I can see doing it, and about every profession uses writing skills.

I don’t know yet how far it will influence my “real” life, or whether I’ll even ever get anything published. All I know is that I don’t want to…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Thank you!!!

It is rather crazy.

*Starting to wonder if I have a talent for accidental plagiarism or if this is just another mad coincidence.  Then realises what the Hermit of the Southern March would say to that, and shuts mouth.*

@avacoulter

Greetings!

I’m Elishavet, and I’m glad to meet you. I am also rather new to serious writing (and KP)

I am also a homeschooler, Annieran(at times), and love poetry.

Oh, and cats. Our family has two, and my first attempt at a novel length book was about them and their conflicted relations with a large dog kingdom.

…And that as…[Read more]

@avacoulter Fair, fair, haha. Any favorite stories you’ve written so far?

“We spent yesterday up a tree. Literally. We had only been on the road for, maybe two hours, when we heard wolves. I pushed him (Smalden) up a tree and told him to climb for his life.”

“There is absolutely no reason in the world that one cannot survive off what grows in these woods. Unless of course one happens to pick what’s poisonous, and then…[Read more]

@lydia-s

Sure, I’d be thrilled to share them now that my Chromebook is up again!

Yeah, my fanfics aren’t exactly my best writing either, but they are such fun. For my part I have especially enjoyed illustrating different character’s personalities through Wilfred’s journal. Smalls is a rather entertaining youngling, and Wilfred is such a capable…[Read more]

@avacoulter Hoi, welcome! I’m Lin, always dabbling in a variety genres, like crime/fantasy and other things.

It’s been so long since I’ve commented on any of the intro threads, haha. Anything in particular you wish to share?

@e-k-seaver Ahh that’s one that’s on my to be read list XD I’m excited to get that one!!!

@power

Hhhmmm… Good question. I think my writing excels most when I’m working with my 3 siblings.

It kinda goes like someone has a spark of an idea, someone adds fuel to it, and then another waves the flame into a blaze.

Well, on good days that is. Most of the time we get side tracked and end up having an hour long conversation about how…[Read more]

@avacoulter

I’m about the same as you when it comes to Tolkien’s discography. Read the Hobbit, and the Silmarillion is on my to-read list. My brother highly recommends it, and I probably will soon once I actually read it, haha.

Thanks for the recs! I’ll definitely check them out.

How old were you when you started writing and what made you begin?

@power That makes a tad more sense… No need to rephrase it again, people reading this thread will understand.

I suppose I am best at writing emotional snippets, usually quite sad and dreamlike. Not sure, though. Not many people have read them.

@power Bold of you to assume that I can’t both be a writer and a brontosaurus.

As for what I excel at, I can’t exactly tell you. The way your question is phrased raises a lot of questions in me. Why, what kind of writing do you excel at?

@avacoulter

Hi! Awesome to have you here!

I’m also a big LotR fan, have you read any of Tolkien’s other books like the Silmarillion or the Hobbit?

Do you have any favorite poems or poets? I’ve recently been getting into poetry and kinda don’t know where to start when it comes to finding good poetry.

It’s great to meet your acquaintance! Catch…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Nope, only taken breaks. Because at this point I’ve invested too much time in it to stop.
