@godlyfantasy12 I have very similar problems with figuring out what my characters want? It is so important to the story and yet it can be so hard to find. With that being said, I would guess that your guy might have several goals.

Possible goal 1) He wants to live a ‘normal’ life, and doesn’t want anyone to know about his scars.

As a guy, I…[Read more]

As a guy, I can understand this. We tend to dislike and sometimes fear revealing our emotions. Even if we…[Read more]

Okay, @faith-q, I have a story for you. Let me tell you of the time I knocked a container with a dozen cupcakes in it on top of a ladies head.

It was my older sister’s birthday. She and I were flying up to Washington state for one of our cousins graduation. My mom, who is a baker, made my sister some cupcakes to take with her on the flight. Well,…[Read more]

I love it when two very powerful (but also very different) soldiers are close friend. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

“And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own…[Read more]

Thanks for the reassurance. Yes, it’s epic fantasy. I have listened to some of Brandon Sanderson’s stuff, and he does do well writing larger groups.

I have around 4-8 “important” characters, and maybe 2 main characters. The cliffhanger advice is good, thanks!

Err… I just reread your request, and realized you wanted stuff from age 4 and 7… Sorry 😬

Oh, something that might be interested is that I like to climb things, but am scared of heights, and I like exploring caves and other tight places, but can easily get claustrophobic, in which case I WANT OUT RIGHT NOW!

@faith-q

Well. . . let’s see 🤔. Do I have any good stories? There was that time at church (I was maybe 10-12) when I was helping the teacher (my mom) with a lesson. The theme for that quarter was like wild west, and we had WANTED posters for “people” (Rebellion, Laziness, Hate, Ect.) I was supposed to play the part of the outlaw Rebellion. I was…[Read more]

Pirate talk,
Ahoy there! Ye lilly livered, scurvy ridden, bilge rats! Ye landlubbers will address me as Cappan! an If ye think ye rapscallions to be to high and mighty to address me as such, well, me and by bucko will give you a checkered shirt with a dirty cat o’ nine tails, then lock ye up in the brigg fer a week, after which, if we feels like…[Read more]

So @karissa-chmil I don’t know if this qualifies as very short bits of our books, but here are some excerpts from a conversation between Braxton Redoak and Destiny . . . (I don’t have a last name for her.) They are both foxes.

@jasmine-godby

Hi! I wasn’t even here when you first appeared so I didn’t get to drive the newbie crazy welcome you to KP! So, I suppose I will welcome you back for reappearing. Welcome back! And to celebrate the occasion, here *Holds out sword 🗡️* let’s have a duel! If you don’t know how to use a sword, well. . . all the better for me! (I’ll…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12
A good thesaurus comes in very handy. 😉

@godlyfantasy12

What I meant by “lost over an entire line” is that in stanza 1 you have 11 lines, in stanza 2 you have 12 lines, and in stanza 3 you have 11 lines, but in stanza 4 you only have 9-10 lines (It appears that I may have made a mistake on line 41. It might need to be split between “here” and “since”.) If you look at the syllable count…[Read more]

And please acquit me for being impulsively apologistic. 😳😋

And please forgive the terrible grammar. 🙄 I’m rereading through my post and . . . 😬

Here’s the poem in stanzaic form.

(Line number)

1   O’ Ring the bell! Call out the clowns! 8 (Syllables in Line/Beats) A (Rhyme Scheme)

Tis time to fly on wings of doubt, 8 A

And float upon the breeze of bliss, 8 B

forgetting all the things you’ll miss. 8 B

5   Don’t fear the things that lie ahead, 8 C

the dangers, darkness, fear and…[Read more]
