@elfwing Awww, girl I would love to, but right now I’m beta-ing another book, trying to get through a huge stack of sci-fi library books to expand my horizons (since I’m writing sci-fi, after all XD), editing my own book, and writing a part two book T_T If I can get through all of this though I would love to!!!

“Thorne, we came to talk.” Lyn called out, standing on her tiptoes, as if that would help her voice carry. A muffled reply proceeded from the back. She groaned, walking to the entrance of the other room and mot…

@kathleenramm Yes Tolkien was an amazing author! My inspiration for writing style is partly from him but less ‘fancy wording’ if you get what I mean XD simpler English.
Aww yes Colin is such a good character for a positive character arc. His character lie is big, isn’t it? I suppose he’s very relatable; he may be a brat to begin with and a…[Read more]

@joy-caroline this is right up my alley, girl! I LOVE parallel characters with different arcs!!!!!!! ❤ Keziah sounds AH-MAZE-ING! I just *internally squeals* love her already.
Like @godlyfantasy12 said, I mentioned some things corresponding to this on her “Making my antagonist likeable/believable” topic. To echo that, I’ll just cut and pas…[Read more]

Elfwing replied to the topic Writing a conflicted character while getting readers to root for her? in the forum Characters 4 years, 8 months ago
@joy-caroline well I’d suggest giving moments showing her praying and asking God to help her with forgiveness, and showing her conflict with her anger and her want to obey God’s will of forgiveness. Show her earnest desire to follow God’s word I suppose; show the moments of love she gives others when she has the chance, but then her unsurity of…[Read more]

Elfwing replied to the topic beta readers needed! in the forum Novel Critique Requests 4 years, 8 months ago
@godlyfantasy12 ok sounds like a good plan! 🙂
btw it is fantasy and is not an allegory any more than Lord of the Rings is. I instead strongly incorporate lessons like loyalty, honesty, and forgiveness in my stories. It doesn’t have ‘magic’ as in wizards, and witches and such things if that gives you a better idea. Some of the evil people…[Read more]

@goldyfantasy12 @keilah-h
It has no language or sexual content (that is something I’m very strict about). It’s adventures of a sister and brother and their journies growing up and crossing the lands. It doesn’t have gory violence, but there are many battles. It’s no more violent than the LoTR. I wrote it for teens.
There’s no strict deadline :)…[Read more]

Hi y’all!! so, I’m looking for beta readers, as betrayed by the title.
I’m not sure if you like fantasy or not, but if you do then this is a good opportunity for it!! I do not have a strict dead-line, but I’d love some feedback by the end of the year to see if I need to make any major changes…
I’m gonna tag some people, and since I don’t know…[Read more]

OH NO!! I will DEFINITELY pray right this very moment! So so so sorry to hear that! 😭
Praying for her now, I’m SO sorrry!
@scripter-of-kingdoms @nova21 Thank y’all so muchhh!!
@daisy-torres
Oh my goodness, of course I’ll pray for her!! I’m so sorry to hear that, that must be hard. 🙁 (You’ll be in my prayers as well!)
@gracie-j @writerlexi1216 Thank you guys so much!!!
I have an update, but we don’t know if it’s good or bad yet. The hospital was so full of patients with covid that she couldn’t get in. They put her n oxygen and sent her home saying she has a virus. She literally PASSED OUT from lack of oxygen in the ER because it took so long. They didn’t even…[Read more]
I will!! Thank you so much Gracie <3
@daisy-torres I just now saw this, but I will DEFINITELY pray for your aunt!!!🙏 I hope everything is alright!<3
Thank you so much!!! She’s actually doing a LOT better, so thank y’all sooo much for y’all’s prayers!!!
I’m soo glad to hear she’s doing much better!!!!
Anytime you need me to pray for something or someone, I’m always here!! <333
Aww, thank you so much!! You’re too sweet! I’ll take you up on that some day XD And same goes for me! Any time you need a prayer buddy just let me know!
Thank you so much for being my prayer buddy!!!<333
Could you pray for my uncle? He's in the hospital and has covid and pneumonia.
I’m soooo sorry I didn’t see your message!!! I will DEFINITELY pray with you!! How is he doing?? @mkfairygirl
@daisy-torres It’s alright. 🙂 Thank you!! He’s out of the hospital now but is still experiencing symptoms and having trouble breathing.
@mkfairygirl I’m glad to hear he’s out of the hospital!! My grandma just got it recently and was experiencing a lot of aching in her joints. If he has that, he may wanna try keeping himself warm, as that stops inflammation *cough* or so @elfwing says XD But it definitely helped my grandma with that. Also the doctor told my grandma to keep moving…[Read more]
@mkfairygirl aw I’m sorry, that’s kind of scary 🙁
I do have some tips, I was sick for over 6 weeks with long covid and almost hospitalized, and although I didn’t have pneumonia, my lungs were pretty bad.
I’m still struggling with tiredness and achiness and loss of taste and smell a year later. If I’m around people for two hours and it exhausts…[Read more]
@elfwing Awww girll you still don’t have your taste and smell back? Poor thing!! I read several articles online where people were able to get it back by stimulating those areas of their brains! Try picking up random objects and focusing on the way they smell. My grandma lost her taste and smell too, but she can taste salty and sweet things. Maybe…[Read more]
@daisy-torres My mom has tried the essential oil trick but all it did was clear my sinuses haha. What happens when people lose their sense of smell and taste to covid, is that the inflammation sometimes causes damages the nerve endings, affecting smell and taste. I was sick for almost two months, so I guess it did *shrugs
I have tried…[Read more]
@elfwing My mom was saying she saw a tiktok video where people were roasting a whole orange on an open fire, and once it had grill marks on it they sliced it open and added brown sugar inside and ate it. Supposedly the combination of sweet and sour, plus the scent of the grilling, is enough to stimulate the area of the brain that can’t smell/taste…[Read more]
