Here’s the last story as it is now. I made a few changes during CEW, but I don’t think I made many

A breeze swept over the countryside, traveling over the hills and through the meadows, before stopping to tangle a young woman’s hair at the command of the man who sat in the grass beside her.

“Baron! Why?” She whined, trying to st…

NEW CHAPTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*sits back and smiles*

@rae

awesome!

Tag me when you do!

not chapter, story *facepalm*

@ellette-giselle

If you want, I would be happy to mark that chapter up for you and give a few spots where it felt emotionally lacking to me as the reader.

That’d be great! I already have made some changes to the first part of the chapter, so I’ll head over to The Baron Chronicles topic and repost the chapter.

@rae

I know!! That quote is just AMAZING!!! I would love to see more of him!

Yes, it was a little bit flat in places, and maybe it could use some reworking, but honestly I think 1st person would spoil it. I liked all the scenes you had and the way you laid it out, even if it could use a teeny bit of work. That’s what I’m trying to say.…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Oh, thanks! I do have some people already signed up for feedback, but I won’t say no to more.

@theshadow

Access granted. There’s nothing there quite yet, but I’ll tag you when I get something posted.

@ellette-giselle

np

but I honestly really liked that chapter the way it is. Like, a LOT. I don’t want you to touch it. If it’s the chapter I’m thinking of (the end one) it was one of my very favorites.

Yes, the end one. This is very interesting to me, cuz I honestly like the last short story the least. Not because of the story itself (the conce…[Read more]

@rae

Sorry! I just saw this.

Hmmm…. I don’t like first person naritives… so that already makes me biased, but I honestly really liked that chapter the way it is. Like, a LOT. I don’t want you to touch it. If it’s the chapter I’m thinking of (the end one) it was one of my very favorites.

You can try the first person, but I say leave…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

😂😂😂 I wouldn’t edit like that. I can’t draw. XD Other reasons too of course. XD

@rae

I’m impressed that you managed that. I could maybe do eight hours, but not 12.

My grandma was in a bad car accident today. It was a front collision at 50-60 mph, but other than that, we don’t really know anything about the crash itself. My grandma is in the emergency room with a fractured elbow and some broken ribs. She should recover without needing surgery, but prayers would be appreciated.

@whalekeeper @keilah-h

Would it help if I did a test piece and posted it on here so you can kinda see what it’d look like?

If I do that, I’ll probably do it tomorrow

TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE CHALLENGE i ATTEMPTED TODAY

I lost track of my hours, but I did get through most the Baron Chronicles. I didn’t get into the short story…[Read more]

@rae

You’re not alone when it comes to getting easily distracted.

Should I write Farewell in first person?

Hmmm, can’t say. It seemed straightforward enough in third person from what I remember.

I finished all the short stories, but I didn’t give you feedback for all of them I’m afraid. 😅

Also on the first person thing, it might work, but it also might throw everyone off, y’know? It really depends.

@rae

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.

@keilah-h

Like, people go on and on about how he was basically “The Perfect Fiction Writer,” do they realize he was just a guy who was SUPER passionate about his story?

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 bee…[Read more]

@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]
