Kathleen replied to the topic What’s an unexpected place you got a story idea from? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 11 months ago
Haha, well, it doesn’t really have to be exciting to be unexpected.
Like the amount of times I’ve gotten story ideas out of an unexpected look, laugh, or hello is absurd.
Have you ever gotten an idea for a certain trait for a character from a person you know?
That’s cool. Now you’ll have to credit Evanescence as a co-writer…[Read more]

@godlyfantsay12
thank you! This’ll be a welcome challenge.
@anatra23 I’ve read a few of the Redwall books, namely Redwall, Mossflower, The Bellmaker, and that one about the baggers where that lord fellow falls off a cliff 😉 . I haven’t read any in a while though.
Have you read Mistmantle? My brother liked them but didn’t get hooked, while we did.

Hey, @godlyfantasy12, would you mind if I drew Nyx? And if so, does he have any particular markings etc.?

Koshka replied to the topic Our Book Premises Nerd Space in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 11 months ago
That makes sense. Yes, I think I know what you mean. Like he can talk without speaking.
Thank you for the excerpt!

Um, that’s amazing. Once again, did Nyx SPEAK?!

Ooh! This is so exciting! I’ve always thought it would be super cool for you to start blogging!
I love your introductory post. It’s beautifully honest. ^-^
I do have a couple blog posts that discuss how to get started blogging. They got eaten by the forum, so let’s see if it’ll let me post them one at a time.

That’s a first draft? Wow. I love it! Did Nyx just speak?

Yeah, nothing I wouldn’t mind reading myself, not to mention a ten year old at our church. Especially when I’m trying to make a very Christain point about the passing of mantles. No need the have my good be evil spoken of!
Ugh, yeah, it is so irritating when a word is placed in the wrong era. I mean, some words don’t matter,…[Read more]

Nyx sounds woundermous! Definitely work him in. He’s so cute! If you have any scenes you could share, I’d be thrilled.
My sister and I created a fox type creature for one of her books. It’s called a Knettel and is about the size of a SMALL house cat, a bit more sleek than most foxes, with more pointed ears and a white ‘V’ from…[Read more]

I do like it! I honestly couldn’t tell, but then I am the person who it took two books in an allegorical series before I realized Leinad was supposed to be Daniel. A’Grend is a good name though.
You have a fennec fox?! Ok, I love furry creatures in books, and foxes…*sigh* what in Nyx like? Does it’s name mean anything?

Koshka replied to the topic Our Book Premises Nerd Space in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 11 months ago
Your book sounds well beat out. Is it one book or a series? YES, it IS intriguing!
What inspired Possibility? It sounds good and deep. And squirrels are so neat.
I’ve read GE too. They’re wonderful books.
If it’s not too much of a spoiler, where did the name A’Grend come from?

Thank you! Those deeper meanings play around in my book a lot.

Thank you!
Yes, I have read GE, and it’s a favorite. S. D. Smith is the C. S. Lewis of rabbits!

I like it too. It has some rather deep thoughts hidden in it. Yes, the tone change is thrilling!

I don’t write Biblical fiction, but I completely support having a forum for it!

Sorry. I’ll try not to repeat myself in later posts. 😉
To clarify on certain points left too vague. The first two stories are about humans in a human world. The last is about an animal only world.

Hi! Gramercy for inviting me!
Your book sounds so intriguing! Yes, I’m hooked.
So, here are three of my premisses. (Yes, I stole them from one of my former posts. I don’t type that quickly)
