Hey @belegteleri, this is a great poem! I loved it, which is saying a lot since I don’t usually go for free verse. The only thing I would say is watch out for the lines that are much, much longer than other lines, as that can tend to break up the flow.
By the way, I thought Beleg was a bowman, not a shipwright. *wink* 😉

Thank you, @Daeus. That pretty much answers all the doubts I had about this scene.
You should hire yourself out as a professional editor.But honestly, I don’t know how anyone could stand such a profession. 😛
One question— what about the guy? Did the scene pique your interest in him? That’s pretty much the only purpose to have it— to show…[Read more]

‘Kay, this is actually an excerpt from one of my historical fiction novels that I wrote some time ago. It’s pretty much the introductory scene for my second main character, and I’d like to know what you guys think.
Pretty much all you need to know is that he’s supposed to be mysterious— I delve deeper into his actual personality a little later…[Read more] -

So it should be “how to make quotes” -
BlueJay replied to the topic Boiled Potatoes from Blue Sky in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 8 months ago

Why? None of my characters ever die. -

Princess Academy sounds fascinating. And the surroundings symbol is a really good idea. And…
It’s not so easy for our brave, courageous hero to walk around with their great-grandmother’s lace croquet pillow and still look fearless.
That so totally made me laugh.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Symbols continued in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 8 months ago
Okay, I think this topic merits reintroducing. 🙂
New thought on this. Sometimes, symbols can be used to actually tell the story.
Let me explain. I’ll use an example because I have no idea if this kind of… thing… has a technical term.Say we have a fantasy world where each and every single person has a candle— lit and burning from the…[Read more]
