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.

(Spoken by Braxton)

“You have it wrong. Not ‘join our cause’. It’s no longer ours. It’s only yours.” He lifted up before…[Read more]

@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]

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

My mom would probably be close to the top of the list when it came to impacting my writing because,

1) I wouldn’t even be here if it hadn’t been for her. 😉

2) She chose what school curriculum I used growing up since I was homeschooled. This was a big effort on #3

3) I hated reading, and was proud of the fact. It was hard for me. My mother…[Read more]

Nope. I think I’m with @godlyfantasy12 on this one. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard of the Author Conservatory until this post. Interesting.

Sounds a tad… gruesome. 😬

@scoutfinch180 Thanks!

Sorry that it has taken a while to get back to you.

Slate usually wear medieval forester/ranger/yeoman cloths, but as stated before, no hoods… or probably capes for that matter. He likes natural colors (things that blend in).

p.s. I also remembered that, since he is getting older, he does have the occasional white fleck of fur here and there,…[Read more]

Two legs like a human.

@rochellaine I know this is old, but good job! 👍

Oh, and he hates hoods.

Slate Protector, Jaguar

Jaguars haven’t been known to be very caring creatures throughout history. They look out for only themselves and stand by and watch as creatures tear each other apart. It doesn’t matter. As long as it doesn’t affect the jaguar in the trees. But this all changed about six score years ago, when a jaguar named Halfpaw with…[Read more]
