@issawriter7

Thank you so much for your advice! I found it really encouraging.

@avacoulter

Thank you! I am so sorry I haven’t posted anything for like, 6 weeks … I’ve been in a real slump and kinda discouraged with everything about websites and my writing in general. It’s a but of hard spell for me … I’m at one of those places where I’m wonderi…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Thank you so much for the advice! I might try that for different cultures/nations in one world! (I have three major ones, atm.) I have (*counts*) five different languages, besides the universal one (I think) and a similar amount of writing systems (based on the same basic runes, just different styles) and those come together with the…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Ooh, neat! I have a culture that avoids living on land, too, with more Maori and Hawaiian influence on the language and some Viking inspiration planned for their culture (and their hair, because Viking braids are epic).

Thanks! Yours sounds pretty neat too. Viking braids are great. My sisters and I actually do a variation of one of…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Isn’t it?

They are interesting. So, those particular cultures are mostly concentrated in the VoyageFolk. They dress like the Norse and the Rus, speak like the Rus, and live like the Northmen in that they avoid living on land. At all. (with some of my own invention to blend them all.)

I have found it intriguing to study (ha, ha, that…[Read more]

WORLD BUILDING!!

I’ll try not to rant too much.

I love world building, and the great news is that I have two WIPs with two very different worlds to form. Huzzah!

And I get to use them as excuses to read random articles on the formation of the Baltic/slav tribes, whether the Saxons used slings, and what kind of bread was…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

WHYYYYY are you so smart??? XD I should really try to be simpler about my naming…

BUT SUFFERING CREATIVE WITHDRAWALS IS SO MUCH MORE FUUNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!

Also…

the reference though…

*Pointedly ignores the fact that it’s randomly snowing which decided to murder all the daisies even though it’s May*

Also I just have to say that…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

That would be fascinating, and it definitely does sound fun to do. 😉

Ugh, I’ve got quite the list of those! XD

@r-m-archer

The book you say? Hmmm. I’ll have to say I haven’t read it, (or watched it, other than a few clips of the play.) but it definitely sounds interesting! All I’ve heard about the book is that it is completely different from the play (or musical, or any of it for that matter. XD)

@kathleenramm

Certainly! They’re all good, in my own most humble opinion. (Of course they are, ’cause why would I mention them if they weren’t? XD)

Scout, Riffles for Watie by Harold Keith, and Snow Treasure, are all not exactly classics. I think RfW was written around 1957, ST around 1942, and Scout was sometime in the 50’s-60’s(Not sure). A…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

A lot of those are on my tbr list. Now that I see you also recommend then I am even more looking forward to reading them!

@madelyn

That’s really interesting! I never thought there was a ‘first’ best selling book, but now thinking about it, of course there had to be one lol.

That’s really cool! Makes me even more interested in…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Yeah, Classic lit. feels so much more grounded. It also feels a bit more comfy and homey to read. I do really like fast paced books, but slow paced books like classics are so relaxing.

Do you have any favorite classics?

@devastate-lasting
I haven’t dared venture back before the 1600’s ever since I read a bunch a books around that…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

That’s so cool!! I’ve read works by Nadine Brandes; she’s an EPIC writer. I’ll look into it; thanks for the link!

Thanks so much for the advice! Looks like I’ve got some research to do ;P

Can we get this up and running again with brand new lines from characters? I still don’t really have many….but maybe we can expand this to be lines of not just dialogue but just very short bits of our books?

@power

That’s really cool!

Of course, putting you into the world to pretty cool, but letting you naturally fall into stories in your own way instead of forcing you is also really cool.

Was there a particular audiobook that you found that made you interested in listening to more?
