@nanisnook Aww thanks girl!!! Same XD I’m trying to work on it haha.

Basically, NANOWRIMO stands for National November Writing Month, and it’s where writers all over the world set a goal (usually about 50k words, but it can be whatever you want) to get in before the end of November! Some writers work on old projects, some create a whole new book,…[Read more]

That’s kinda funny, because that’s the same opinion Tolkien had on Lewis’s work! Tolkien also didn’t like The Chronicles of Narnia very much because the mythology didn’t make sense.

Although I love The Chronicles of Narnia, I get why it wouldn’t settle right for some people. It does do a lot of crazy things with mythology that might…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Despite not having read  Ingleside (I have only read the first Anne of Green Gables book) I thoroughly related to your frustrations in your post.

One of my pet peeves in books are characters who makes dumb decisions simply for plot convenience. Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally fine with characters who make mistakes, but the…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Ever since I started writing I read much less, and I don’t reread books I read long ago anymore, plus I think we gave a lot of them away. On the rare occasion that I remembered I loved one book as a kid and I would reread it, I usually found it more hilarious than before.

There was one trilogy I really loved called School For Good…[Read more]

@nova21 Eeek!!! Awesomee!!!

Okie dokie, yay!!

Welll, I’m going to work on Smoke and Mirrors for this nano XD It needs it bahaha. Did you read any of the chapters of it from when I uploaded a couple on KP? If you didn’t, it’s basically an Urban Fantasy about a girl with a magic necklace and ties to another world.

What’s yours about??

I’m…[Read more]

@e-p-writes

Thank you! It’s alright, life is hard enough to keep up with. 😉

@abigail-m

Have you ever heard of Simon Khorolskiy? If you like good Russian worship music most of what I’ve heard of his I recommend.

@abigail-m

Is there any particular wolf biography you would recommend? Wolves are such beautiful creatures, it is sad when they are usually viewed as evil. That was one reason I wanted to write about them. This does help with the theme for this series; it doesn’t matter who you are, what you had done, or where you’ve been, you choose what heart…[Read more]

@abigail-m

This is all first draft, so… you know. Feedback more than welcome.

Note: The epilogue takes place in a world war almost a thousand years later.

Prologue
The sun was sinking, weary with winter. Moonlight was already dancing with the falling snow. A lonesome voice joined winds in song, then fell away. The stars hid, buried deep in…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Oh, and I’m thrilled you are using 9th century Russia! Most goof Medieval fantasy I’ve read is based in later centuries when there is so much left in earlier times.

@abigail-m

Um, I’m not sure what you mean by biographies, but I don’t think so. Most of what I know has come from old textbooks, pictures, and conversations. Most of the fictional books I’ve read that include some type of wolf usually equate them with something bad. Or maybe I just haven’t read many books with wolf characters.

Thank you! I try…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Thank you! 😀 He turned out so sweet.

@anatra23 Yeah, eyes can be hard to do. I think this was one of my best attempts at the “photo” look yet. For what it’s worth, there are bunches of step-by-step images online for eyes that I found transformed the way my sketches looked. That and copying detailed photographs.

Sorry I have taken so…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Thank you. 🙂 (I’m afraid the inner essayist came out in that post) Yeah, I love classics, but we need more good books on the shelf than those written sixty+ years ago.

@seekerofthetruth @keilah-h

Sprinting means you start writing at a time, say 3:30pm, but because we’re all in different time zones and such you just say the minutes like this :30. Then you start writing and you write write write until you’re done! So if I stopped at 4:00, I’d say: “Done at :00 with 327 words on my WIP! Nice sptinting with you!”…[Read more]

Hey, @e-k-seaver! (Nice to see you here, eek!) I’d love to sprint with you whenever you wanna go!

Why do I write? I’m not sure. I’ve actually pondered this many times; wondering if I need to be writing. Still, I haven’t been writing like this for long, so some things aren’t ironed out yet.

I started writing because I saw a lack of good, true (fun) books to be had. All the newer authors seemed to either be trailing off the deep end or leaving…[Read more]

@libby Awesome!!! I added you!
