Awesome topic!!! Here’s a pretty decent one from my fantasy WIP. It needs punctuational edits though…

The clearing was silent. Not even a ryip’s chirp broke the stillness. The long grass was smashed and flattened, the brush along the edge of the trees looked like it had been trampled, and in many places, the sod had been ripped up i…

Ah, yes, I understand. Honestly, I don’t really use maps. The places in my worlds pop into existence as I need them. It’s probably not the best way to make geological decisions, but it’s what I’ve done so far. 😉 I’m totally going to check out that website @daisy-torres mentioned though… it sounds awesome!!!

@e-k-seaver

Agh, this is such a tempting offer! Unfortunately, my plate is kinda full right now, so I don’t think I’d be able to get it done by the deadline. 🙁  I hope you get the feedback you’d like! Congrats on finishing a novel!

And, @gracie-j, thanks for tagging me!

@nova21

lol I may or may not feel very similarly about some of my characters… 😉

@nova21

I’m late (this is a theme in my commenting life rn… *facepalm*), but here are a couple of my MCs’ first lines. As a side note, BRILLIANT idea.

These two say their first three lines in the same scene and to each other. First, there’s Trevor, a moody, brooding bully (cinnamon roll type guy, though he doesn’t know it at the moment). Then,…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Oh, this looks lovely! Thank you for the invite. Hopefully, I’ll be able to read it sometime soon! <33

@zatara

Welcome to the forum!

*cheers* Another pineapple pizza person, yay! And I have to agree with your assessment of Narnia vs. LOTR. Tolkien wins, hands down (He is likely the author I admire most), but I also am and forever will be a Narnia nerd. 😛

Now for the customary welcoming questions:

1) What is your favorite mythical animal?

2)…[Read more]

@akbaer

Welcome to the forum, Annika!

I wholeheartedly approve of your hobbies as I myself enjoy all three of those things! And your book choices are also wonderful (J.R.R. Tolkien is probably the writer I admire most).

Fantasy is very fun to write and to read! Have you by chance read the DragonKeeper Chronicles by Donita K. Paul? It’s a…[Read more]

@maryg3

Oh, wonderful! Til We Have Faces is super good. Ah, I see. I’ve flipped through the first book virtually, but hopefully, I’ll actually get around to reading them someday. 😉

No, I have no read that one! I’ll have to do that someday, though.

Wow, he sounds extremely well written! (And don’t worry. I’m 16 and I still enjoy flipping…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

If you have the resources, go for it!  No regrets! 😉  If it totally flunks, don’t sweat it.  If it turns out to be the best choice you could have made, yay you! <33 (I think a yt channel would work well for that)

@joy-caroline

Awesome topic, I LOVE this kinda stuff!

Hmmm….  *ponders over which best most devastating character lie to use*

Enter Dylan.  He believes he can’t be loved.  He wasn’t loved or appreciated by his father as a boy, and then he witnessed his mother’s death, which scarred him.  He put all his worth into MMA fighting but didn’t thi…[Read more]

@abigail-m

I’ll check it out!

@e-k-seaver

Ahhh!  I’m at chapter seventeen and I just can’t stop!  This book is well-written, intriguing, and TOTALLY PUBLISHABLE!  Make it happen, Emily.  This needs to be published.

I just can’t stop thinking about how amazing this is!  I don’t know how many times I’ve laughed out loud…  (and I seriously almost cried once!)  And the chara…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

Got it!  So excited, I’ll check it out later today.

@lydia-s

Bahahaha!  I know, me toooooo!  My sister was really annoyed about how much I was gushing about Dylan… he’s just so amazing!  If I could bring any of my charries to life, it’d be him (and then I’d marry him!) XD XD XD

@godlyfantasy12

Thank ya kindly!  <3  Ooo, cool!  I’d say Corvina might be a conflicted character, and Arabella might be a really sweet, friendly personality.  Am I right? XD

@kathleenramm

Girl, I’d totally read this!  Totally keep writing… GO GO GO! 😉

@anatra23

Thanks!  I know, it’s kinda weird to see the dialogue out of context.  But th…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

Congrats Emily!!  I’ll do it!  Dystopian is my all time favorite genre.  I’m so excited to read this!

My email is ellafinkbeiner11@gmail.com

Thanks for the opportunity!

@nova21

Ditto what @gracie-j said… @elfwing nailed it!!! (GO DYLAN, by the way… I have a soft spot for guys like him)

@godlyfantasy12

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!! XD  *throws confetti and hands you chocolate* I popped on a couple of days ago, and it’s awesome!!!

I suppose some of my favorite things are sneak peeks/behind the scenes looks at WIPs, and collages, quizzes, and other stuff related to your books. I’ll enjoy anything you post though. 😉
