Um… Who’s your main character(s), what’s their struggle, how do you think they will grow, and how do you plan to make your WIP wholesome/lasting.

Ok, a few random questions…

Do you have important/new animals in any WIP?

@abigail-m

Thank you so much! I don’t have anyone much beyond my family to go over my writing, so although I know it has flaws I have trouble pinpointing them.

Oh my, description (in any form) is one of the things I struggle with the most. I love crafting scenes in my head, but they rarely work out on paper. Thank you, I needed that.

Yes, there…[Read more]

I dreamed of a song-I heard it sung;

In the ear of my soul its strange notes rung.

What were its words I could not tell,

Only the voice I heard right well,

A voice with a wild melodious cry Reaching and longing afar and high. Sorrowful triumph, and hopeful strife, Gainful death, and new-born life…

-GEORGE MACDONALD,

1842

@anatra23

George MacDonald was a Scottish author in the mid-late 1800s. He wrote some fantasy (The Light Princess for example). His fantasy is unique in its beautiful reflection of Christian morals/themes (it’s in there deep), and he was a major influencer in C. S. Lewis’ work. He also wrote some, what do you call it, in-our-world-fiction (Sir…[Read more]

@calidris The fandom is scary as heck but I love the manga art style and the characters and how they portray authors as characters and the worldbuilding and I also have been playing the mobile game for almost two years and–

*cough cough* The fandom is. Very. I don’t like the fandom.

@anatra23 Ay, for comedy/slice of life I recommend:

• Barakamon
• Yotsuba&!
• Way of the Househusband

And for fantasy/adventure:

• Fullmetal Alchemist (if you’re only going to watch the anime watch the Brotherhood version)
• The Devil is a Part-Timer!
• Bungou Stray Dogs

Me, looking over my lists: I could have sworn there was way more I need…[Read more]

Someone ask me something, anything. (About. Any WIP.)

@anatra23 Finally, my field of expertise.

I have heard of all of these! I’ve read several volumes of Horimiya and Your lie in April was my first anime. For a complete list of my read and watched anime, you may consult myanimelist here: https://myanimelist.net/profile/xiajiao

Well, lemme just open up my presentation that I bring with me whenever…[Read more]

The question is, if I tag someone am I apparently forcing a response? (Ok, I get timid at times.)

@keilah-h

Sorry. By the way, if I ever forget to tag someone, don’t hesitate to pop on anyway. I’m still getting used to using the forum.

@trahia-the-minstrel

Thank you!

@anatra23 @koshka

Wasn’t it? And it’s good to end a series before it gets fizled out. He ends it with “Hey, there’s more coming, it’ll be better than what’s here, but that’s a new epoch. Let’s go and have our own adventures.”

And I love the George MacDonald quote as the epigraph. It’s so perfect.

Plus,(sorry this has been a bit of a ramble) if…[Read more]

@anatra23

Oh how many books have I at least confused by reading ahead? Almost every book I read. =|

His books are sooooo good. I hope mine may somehow measure up.*sigh* I would probably have written waayyy to far and ruined it.

Here’s my other pic. I had to put them on separately.

Incomplete sketch. Mouth is only half open.

Aurrgh!! It ate my response three times!!

@elishavet-pidyon

Oh I love birds of prey! Those are some long wing and life spans. Does the fact that they mourn tie in with the book any?

@keilah-h

Are your Ailurids animals or something like the cloven of Wingfeather? Can they and if they are animals, can they think (like people)?

@anyway

Here is…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yes, they’re from my GE fan fic. The one about a cousin of the Jovesons.

*Note* It ends before any romance enters the scene. 😉 XD

Update

Ok, I read the rest of the book. Yes, I still love it.

@keilah-h

Maybe he does like fan fiction. All I know is that his series is one of the few that have prompted me to write fan fiction. My twin sister and I wrote a sort of extra epilogue using what we consider foreshadowing in the books. We’re still revising it, but I’m fairly…[Read more]
