I’m trying to solidify my main characters.

Victor/Amichai: needs a better character arc, lie, and, well, I’m still not sure if he’s my MC.

Alyona: needs a purpose. WHO IS SHE SUPPOSED TO BE?

Reuben: does he die or not? Why does he die if he does?

Aethelthryth: needs a struggle, purpose, a calling. I’m still trying to work…[Read more]

@koshka Ah, I won’t say my church, but we basically did Bible quizzing through a program called AWANA, not sure if you’ve heard of it. I live up in the New England area, so our paths probably haven’t crossed.

I write urban fantasy, eastern fantasy, anything but high fantasy. I tend to combine crime and fantasy, so a lot of my stories (well,…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel Haha, that meme is quite true. I love the author’s works a lot, especially Silver Spoon.

The Promised Neverland has some horror elements (spoiler: it’s basically about a bunch of kids that raised on farms to be eaten by monsters) and it does get gory at times. The manga is much better than the anime. I haven’t watched the…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Hello to you too! School, ugh.

What church did you quiz with, if you don’t mind my asking?

Oh the desperate struggle to inscribe one’s ideas…*sigh*

Warning: if I start talking about my books I may not be well able to cease.

Thank you, I try! XD. Heart of Gold Heart of Stone is my completest WIP, so I enjoy working over it…[Read more]

@koshka Hey there! Late welcome to our Kingdom of Pen! I’m usually one of the early greeters but I don’t think I’ve welcomed anyone in a long time due to school, hhh…

I’m Linyang, but everyone here calls me Lin, and I enjoy writing crime and fantasy. I was homeschooled as well, and I did a ton of Bible quizzing as a kid. Honestly, I can totally…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon What about you? What are you currently working on?

@elishavet-pidyon

*Gasps and tentatively waves a paw at your disappearing form.*

Good day to you too, mysterious human. Pleased to see you around.

Увидимся!

@devastate-lasting

Hmm, It sounds good. Personally, sacrifice is one of my favorite themes, along with strength in weakness, redemption, and loyalty. Cats are hilariously wonderful, and have fun with the name!

Welcome, anytime. 😉

@elishavet-pidyon I’ll do this for my current WIP so I can better write it. Thanks for asking me stuff!

My main character is Joey Garcia, a 24 year old worker at a store. I think his struggle throughout the book is to find reason to do something as well as how best to convince someone to give himself up. He’ll probably accomplish both of these…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I still haven’t read the last volume of The Promised Neverland, ahh…the art is super pretty!

@anatra23 Big thanks to @trahia-the-minstrel for putting out content warnings here; about FMAB; it does get pretty dark, actually, but I feel like if you watch Jujutsu Kaisen you can probably watch the bulk of most anime, considering that Jujutsu Kaisen is rated TV-MA here in the US but FMAB is rated TV-14. Common sense media is a good place to…[Read more]

@koshka

*Creeps in, face hidden in the depths of my cowl. Waves a greeting to Kitty.*

Good day, I have entered here to expound unto you my delight in your books and presence.

*After my fervent salutation, I slip off into the snow, the snow swept clean by the hem of my kirtle.*

Пока!

@anatra23

Exactly!

@elishavet-pidyon

Oh… I love those lines. The shadow of a poet in me shivers in ecstasy. The beauty, the meter, the words all make me explode!

Ok, I’ll be quiet now.

@devastate-lasting

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.)
