Thanks, @r-j-wordsmith ! 🙂
I’m still planning and working on bits. Multiple POV’s was not the easiest choice for my first novel. Figuring out how to begin the story and in what order things ought to happen, is confusing, to say the least, but I”m getting there. 🙂
Sounds like your planning went well, @dragon-snapper . 🙂
Thanks for writing…[Read more]

@r-j-wordsmith @overcomer Well, I’m done for now. I planned out that short story, so I am satisfied now that I know what happens, beginning, middle and end. Thanks!

Are either of you guys still writing, @r-j-wordsmith , @dragon-snapper ? If you are I’ll join you. 🙂

@r-j-wordsmith I’m actually just getting to brainstorming now. It interesting how even short stories need planning. 😛

@northerner @winter-rose @perfect-fifths @daeus @kate-flournoy @overcomer @ethryndal @his-instrument @graciegirl @r-j-wordsmith @jess @Audrey-caylin I’ll be doing some sort of writing thing…again. Maybe finish up the story, or at least get partway through. 😛

@emma-flournoy Ah, poor @daeus .
@r-j-wordsmith @northerner INTP…I’ll keep that in mind for the future. 😛 -

@emma-flournoy Well, the thing is that @daeus doesn’t like the dragons.
I’m open to any ideas, you all.

@r-j-wordsmith @winter-rose You all should applaud me. I got absolutely nothing written. *bows* I think I’ll take a break from doing nothing now.

Snapper replied to the topic Writer's Corner #4 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 8 months ago
@r-j-wordsmith Thanks! I like it too. It was fun to draw, but believe it or not, I didn’t draw any wings on it. 😛

@overcomer @daeus @kate-flournoy @Audrey-caylin @jess @winter-rose @graciegirl @r-j-wordsmith @northerner @ethryndal @jane-maree @perfect-fifths I’ll be doing some editing and perhaps some normal writing. Maybe planning. Probably editing. Who knows?

@r-j-wordsmith Thanks! Yeah. That’s a pretty good book. I haven’t read it in forever!

@princessfoo Hiya! Welcome to the bestistest place on the internets!
Hmmm. Well, I’ve co-written some, though I haven’t done it in a bit. First thing I would ask is if your characters are going to cross paths at some point. I suggest discussing where each of you are going with your own plots, if you haven’t already. That way you can understand…[Read more] -

Hey, I’d like to start building up my summer reading list! Going on a looonnggg vacation and need a few recommendations. So: good books?

Ooh ooh what about Tales of Goldstone Wood series by Anne Elizabeth Stengl. I really love the ones I’ve read of that and they’re really beautiful fantasy and allegory-ish too. Super well written.
The Youngest Templar Trilogy by Michael Spradlin (not this @spradlin)
The Black Arrow by Robert Louis Stevenson
All of the Ranger’s Apprentice books by John Flanagan (unless, of course, you’ve read those)
The Brotherband Chronicles by John Flanagan
In Search of Honor by Donnalynn Hess
The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin
The Hero’s Guide to Saving…[Read more]
@dragon-snapper LOL. Ironically enough, my favorite genre to write is medieval fantasy.
@spradlin Haha! That is too funny!
The Space trilogy by Paul Regnier and A Time to Die trilogy by Nadine Brandes.
And another thought that I just had would be: Orphan’s Song (Gillian Bronte Adams), or A Wish Made of Glass (Ashlee Willis) – both fantasy. 🙂
Pendragon’s Heir by Suzannah Rowntree. Arthurian legend and historical fantasy plus time-travel. Also a great book in its own right. Be prepared for an authour who asks hard moral questions and doesn’t give easy answers. Has a bit of romance but even I (who can’t talk about romance at all without getting snarky) liked it.
I’ve got too many recommendations.
Ilyon Chronicles by Jaye L. Knight
Blades of Acktar series by Tricia Mingerink.
Finding Angel by Kat Heckenbach
Tales of Taelis series by Sarah Holman
Annabeth’s War and Captive of Raven Castle by Jessica Greyson.
The Gammage Cup, by Carol Kendall
I just finished reading that a couple weeks ago, and can’t stop raving about it. Fantasy. No romance. No horror. Just a lovely, light read.
Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. More of a sci-fi than a fantasy, but it’s a must read. I recommend it to everyone.
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard is fantastic, though if you get it you should probably get the sequel alongside it and spare yourself the suspense.
If you’ve never read Little Men (yes: men. not women) by Lousia May Alcott you need…[Read more]
Patrick W. Carr’s “The Staff and the Sword” trilogy was a really refreshing fantasy to me. =) Also “The Scarlet Pimpernel” (not fantasy) was really good.
Can’t wait to check some of these out!!! I will have lots to read this summer! Thanks, everyone! Oh, and I have read Johnny Tremain, but it’s been a *few* years, so thanks for mentioning it! I think I’ll go to my bookshelf and re-read it now!
I’m in the middle of reading Virals by Kathy Rieches (the original mind behind BONES)… it’s so, so good! I highly recommend it. Just throwing that out there in case you’re still needing some more reading material. 😉
