Yeah, more melodies on extra strings would just take more skill practice and concentration. That’s a great limit to the magic system because it would require study.

@hybridlore

Eh, it is a bit vague, but what I’ve sort have been imagining is that a Voice has to be a melody line of some sort to generate a String. The individual movement of the music is what allows the String to move, and the notes of a chord are kind of locked together in a way that doesn’t allow that. It makes sense in my head, but maybe i…[Read more]

Marcel —- Edge of Deepwild

Marcel didn’t think long about the questions the girl asked, since every one of them confused and irked him. He still felt half asleep, wisps of color blowing out from behind him and waving at the night sky. He met all of their eyes and backed up, so the four people stood in a circle. “Li…[Read more]

I don’t know much about harps, although from what I understand, they seem like the closest thing to a piano in the string family, so, yeah, they should be pretty good. Guitars are good at chords, which since they consist of multiple notes should technically mean that it manifests multiple Strings, but I may want to treat chords a bit…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Thanks!

Yeah, I don’t know violin very well, but I have heard that. (I’ve also heard it can do three but that it would be even harder.) However, Ilahna actually hasn’t used her violin yet. As a quirk of the magic system, she literally has more than one voice, so she’s actually singing four parts at once. The exact number of Voi…[Read more]

This is great! I think it sets the stage for the next chapter much better! I like it.

@ellette-giselle

Okay, I updated the chapter. Let’s see what you think now.

Chapter the 22nd – The Coward

@the_lost-journal

Rina —— (Elderstrand)

Rina furrowed her brow as the two began to bicker. Her sword slowly degraded into fragments, which fell to the ground.

“Seriously, what’s going on here?” she repeated. “And as a matter of fact, where is here?”

@loopylin @whalekeeper @hybridlore

Ellis —— (Edge of Deepwild)

They’re hopefully not robbers? Soulmight repeated. Wouldn’t she know?

Ellis, as usual ignored the sword. “Good,” Ellis said, waiting for the owners of the voices to appear. “So, am I.”

@ellette-giselle

Hmm… Stripe jumps on Tyn and is preoccupied with that fight? (Though it probably would not last longer than 2 seconds…) Rour attempts to debate with Stripe, saying his quaral is only with Alan and any who stand in the way (Which is why he arrested Martha)? He may be asking to leave peacefully with Alan and Tyn, promising to…[Read more]

@loopylin

I tried that, and for some reason there was an error and it won’t let me. I can try again tho.

Thanks for the help.

@linus-smallprint

yeah, I can close off the week gap. I might say “a day or two” or something like that. Would this be better.

I think you meant to say someone else’s voice.

Ah, yes, I do. thanks.

Poor Joseph. I would be a little curious to know what it was like for him when he lost his own father. Does he ever see his face in the n…

@linus-smallprint

That’s fair. I feel the same way about ‘you do you’.

don’t even get me started.

With Alan down, he would probably try to step in and would not be willing in the least be to let Rour go. So Rour isn’t in a winning position yet. Do you have any ideas for this?

Hmm……

Let’s see.

Well, would Stripe care to protect Alan? I didn’…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

A week passed.

This feels a little odd right at the start of the book. I can see why you’re doing this, you’re trying to show us how over time he is adjusting, so I wouldn’t say it is a bad thing. It just feels unusual.

Joseph looked away. After a few minutes he heard Joseph’s voice in the kitchen. Sabina said something, and t…

@ellette-giselle

YIKES! You changed your pic!

He he!

Anyhow, I don’t know why I even brought that up. I guess because it gives me recoil whenever I see it.

That’s fair. I feel the same way about ‘you do you’.

I’m trying to rework Chapter the 22nd like you suggested, but am a little stuck on what to do with Stripe. With Alan down, he would p…[Read more]

@loopylin

Do you know when the registration opens? I can’t seem to find anything besides dates for 2025.

@loopylin

btw, I told mom you had met Doug, and were from around there, and she was like “Oh my goodness! Did you tell were our family LOVES all the stuff down there!?”

We are looking into the Called Conference right now. Thank you for telling me about it, because I’ll barely squeak in before I’m too old!

this is pretty crazy to me. lol.

@loopylin

Have you guys tried homemade apple butter spread?

@loopylin

Apple noodles? Whaaaaaaat are those?
