I think his passion is what made him the best fantasy author. If Tolkien didn’t love writing, and didn’t love the story, then it wouldn’t have been a classic. It wouldn’t have been published at all.

That’s exactly what I’m saying. He wrote great stories because he loved writing so much, not because his ability was somehow greater than other writers.

@rae

I’m one of those perfectionists who wants to throw their stuff in the trash everytime they read it just cuz it isn’t as good as Lord of the Rings

I know you’re joking, but has nobody thought about the fact that it must’ve either taken Tolkien like 5 drafts to get it perfect, or he was just the exception to the rule and had everything str…[Read more]

@rae

How’s the editing going so far? I bet you’re super tired by now. XD

@rae

since most publishing companies fail within five years

Ouch.

Hahahahaha! Totally joking.

Well that’s really great. I’ve gone through the nightmare, and while horrible, at least it helped me know which information I wanted/needed readily available to be able to have WHP set up in a way that other authors would get what they…[Read more]

@rae @ellette-giselle I’m glad you guys were able to work something out!! I’ve just self-published every time I finished a book, but I have a book on writing and it talks about how to get a publisher, and I was like “wow, this is…..really complicated. Do we really need to do all this?”

@rae

You are so welcome!!! I’m so glad it’s encouraging!!!

Wait really!!!!!??? You might be going with us?!?!?!

We do some marketing on our website, but we are more limited as we don’t do any social media platforms. But we would still do all we can to market your book.

@rae

Go Rae! Go Rae! Go Rae!!!!

@rae

Yep. Poor Sniper.

ikr, poor guy.

i love how it’s just like:

the character: is a literal assassin and would know like 10 ways to kill me if I got within a mile of him. Plus my augmentations to him give him two or three more of those ways to kill me.

me: I feel so bad for you, your life is so tragic. I would give you a hug if I weren’t con…[Read more]

@rae

Gotcha.

@rae

Thanks for the update!! I’ll keep praying!

How have you been feeling?

@rae

Yeah, I wondered if it was Sniper.

lol you know me well don’t ya?

If I remember correctly, he was shot in the chest and the side of his abdomen, right?

I’m assuming you saw that image in the school roleplay lol. I think that’s right. I don’t think he was hit in the heart directly, but yeah, I assumed it punctured one of the big arteries…[Read more]

@rae

Yesssss, pictures! Those names are so cute!!!!

@esther-c

I’m pretty sure the authorities have me flagged. I had to do a “sell an element” project a couple years ago, and I chose polonium, which meant researching how to buy it, and also given the fact I chose to sell it specifically for murdering people, I researched how much it would take to kill someone too. XD If you want to learn how to…[Read more]

@rae How do you know all that shooting stuff, first of all?

Second, thanks! Trying to figure this out cause remember in that fanfic I shared with you, that scene where the enemy team shoots Sniper? I’m writing scenes from his perspective and want to know exactly how long he would be able to remain conscious before passing out and eventually…[Read more]

@rae oh cool!

@rae

Misty

@rae

Also, Gandalf for one of the grey ones.

@rae

I need a picture of Sir Fluffyface!!! Other names: Snickerdoodle, Taffy, Boink, Kinsley, Floofle, Souffle, Dandy/Dandelion, Bluebelle, Cherry, Button, Bob, Banana, Dumpling, (I don’t know why so many of them are food. XD) Zig, Zag, Quincy, Dizzy, Izzy, Noodle, Squiggle.

@rae

I immediately thought of Marlo and Oakley. :]

@rae

I always name them after book or movie characters. (mostly books)

For instance, this time around we have Mathias and Cornflower (Redwall)

Puss-in-boots and Kitty Softpaws (Puss In Boots)

Matimeo and Iris (Matimeo A Tale Of Redwall)

And Joe Shanks (Green Ember)

Try books and see who works. I did Jane Austen once, Lord of the Rings,…[Read more]
