Wow, this is beautiful poem, @jadamae. About the last line of the second stanza, I personally like “as her fingers with music teem” better, but they’re both beautiful.

Wait @Daeus— you like that book? Wow. I… I’m just… I never would have guessed. 😛

Complain, sirrah? Nay, I did but query as to thy meaning, forsooth. I pledge mine honor, if heretofore thy word in question (verily) hath entered into my knowledge I knew it not, nor, methinks, should be held accountable.
Thus I plead my case to thee, sirrah— mind thy…[Read more] -

Wow @zoe-wingfeather… I definitely was NOT expecting to get any potential customers at this stage of the book! 😛 I’ll be sure to tell you, though it won’t be published for quite a while…
Yes, @Daeus— Count of Monte Cristo is the perfect example of reusing plot points and characters. It’s so wonderfully complicated! The only thing I might…[Read more]

@Daeus— Verily, saidst thou? Pray, what is this verily of which thou speakest, brother? Methinks thou dost speak of some… some word of olden times, but alas! I have no skill in the understanding of such antiquated languages… thy ‘verily’ hath quite overcome me…

Sorry, couldn’t…[Read more]

It’s quite beautiful— love the title! A few lines I would change, just for the sake of better rhythm. The first is
Spotlights shine on the scene
I would just replace ‘on’ with ‘upon’. And the last line of that stanza… I’m not sure which would work better, or if either would work best at all. You might try saying something about a ‘dream’…[Read more]

Hey, glad it was helpful guys! I should just start a topic called ‘mistakes’ and post all the writing mistakes I make in that one. 😉
@Jadamae… well… I’ve got several lined up already, but I’m not about to turn anyone away if they’re interested… 😀 I just hate shoving my work off on other people so I don’t like to ask. 😛 😉

Grace, peace, and high word counts to you, my brothers! And… er… sisters.

That’s awesome, @Daeus!

Love it, @bluejay! Looking at that prompt, I couldn’t decide whether it was a sword on his back or the pipes of a bagpipe. 😛 I ended up not mentioning it at all, and I guess that was fine. 😉
Now let’s see if I can figure out the ‘image’ setting so I can post the picture and you can actually see what I’m talking about. Here goes…

Okay people, so I just finished my WIP— an 852 page 496,034 word monster of an epic fantasy. And now I’m editing it before I send it out to be torn to shreds by my beta readers. 😛 😉
I’ve got something I wanna tell everyone else out there who hasn’t already made this mistake.
As I worked through the story, it immediately became evident I had…[Read more] -

Haha, we were posting at the same time. Yes, it’s really good. We should do it again tomorrow, around the same time. (Actually I won’t be able to do it in the morning, {for me} maybe the afternoon {for me})
Yes, I think it worked. My fingers have never flown so fast. 😛 -

@daeus How did you go? Believe it or not I finished a first draft on a new short story. I’ve called it ‘A Ticking Bomb.’ It will be interesting to see what the rest of my family (mainly my mum who is my editor) think of it. It was fun to do though. 🙂
It’s kind of weird to think that two people who have never met and live on opposite sides of the…[Read more] -
