@aislinn-mollisong 😀 Now, you just need a nice heavy electronic beat to go along with a robot singing XD

Those are actually really neat, though. (Once you disregard the extra text XD) I love when stories have in-world songs and lore, it makes them feel much more rich and solid. And having them as chapter headings is a really good idea 😀

@radically-surrendered XD *sips on hot chocolate*

“Arise, magic super piano ninja thinker of the great epic idea warrior”

@mnvalentine 😀 That’s interesting

It does all make sense, because I have read some urban fantasy. It’s more…breezy, and simple, in language, I think. Not like some high fantasy, which delves deep into rich language and carefully described scenery. Maybe I’ll try urban sometime 😛

😀 Well, I have a few. But the one I’m mostly working on right…[Read more]

@rochellaine Actually, I don’t really watch that many. 😛 But I read a lot of history, especially from that time period. And sometimes I just read a lot about a random subject. For some reason I know more about Ginger Rogers than any of her other contemporaries XD

@rochellaine  My favorite would have to be… the one about the dragon 😛 🙂

@radically-surrendered

😀 That idea would totally work. It’s a really intriguing one. It’s not entirely new, Bryan Davis used something similar in his Echoes from the Edge series, which is also written from a Christian point of view. Your ideas with the music sound a little more elaborate and exciting than his, though. Echoes from the Edge is…[Read more]

@rochellaine XD XD XD 😀 😀

Those are hilarious

I thought no one

Would know I was reading these poems

But upon reading these tales

I quaked such a gale

That all of my family was drawn by my laughter

Like animals called, sought the source of such clatter

And upon seeing the poems, only left after

They assured themselves nothing was…[Read more]

@mnvalentine 😀 Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!

Stan is thrilled to meet you. (Stan is my dragon pal. He’s spiky and can’t fly, due to unfortunate circumstances at his birth.)

😀 I love Narnia, too. And also Harry Potter. I read both of those series when I was a lot younger, and I’ve reread them both probably at least half a…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong XD Well, that rules that out, then.

“National animal, forbidden to everyone!”

Although actually that would work if only nobility were allowed to have them

:/ I’m not sure, then. Besides having more powerful enemies.

@rochellaine 😀 That’s funny that he said that XD, because yeah, then later they iconic for their dancing.

Although, it does make sense seeing that she was new to him.

And Ginger was kind of a multifaceted performer, too- actress, singer, and dancer, although she was most remembered for dancing, I think.

@graciegirl XD Well, they aren’t all novels or full length books. One of them is a novella, and the other is a series of a few short stories. And then one is the starting of an epic fantasy, and the other is a standalone book in very early planning

😀 Personification sounds really cool

Actually, so does For Lor, too :D. Stan wants to read them…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
Wow
That is really impressive
Three months? That’s amazing

The first Sector One book is really great, too. 😀

Hmmph
Now I need to go start writing faster
And more furiously
Stan won’t be seeing a lot of me until I finish something big, at least XD

*drives in an entire truck of ice cream*

*Stan pokes his head out…[Read more]

@radically-surrendered 😀 Awesome!

I think… your blog is like a mug of hot chocolate. Wonderful.

*sees the hot chocolate, and grabs a bunch of mugs from underneath @dragon-snapper ‘s nose*

Good luck, and God bless you with it ;D
I don’t have any tips for you as a blogger, because I don’t have a blog. (I’ll get one someday,…[Read more]

@gabbyj Hmm

Well, being optimistic doesn’t always mean being extremely lighthearted, but it does mean looking at the best sides of situations and seeing the best in people. That doesn’t have to change, even if the story gets more intense and more challenges come as it progresses. The character’s optimism will just have to shine out through the…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong 🙂 Great. I think making challenges for the dragons as characters could be an important thing in general. Also, building off of @skredder ‘s idea, what if the dragons had to stay in hiding the whole trip? Sort of the same as being forbidden, I just thought I could add that maybe almost everywhere Amber and Brendan travel, the…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Sorry, I messed up your tag

@graciegirl 😀 😀 XD Nice to meet you too  (and Stan is super pleased, too. He’s been roaring ‘ZIKERS!’ all day now. ;D)

*Stan grabs hand and shakes it anyway*

Don’t worry, he won’t bite you. he actually doesn’t bite that much, it’s just that he CAN if he wants to. But he’s remarkably friendly to all the Keepers we know.

XD The funny thing is,…[Read more]

@seek-justice 😀 *wheee*

*runs outside and starts forging his own saber*

Yeah, sabers are curved… kind of like the Western version of a katana although more ceremonial. Bayonets were more of the ground-level weapon

@itisastarrynight

I don’t think writing people, who aren’t necessarily human, is unsound at all, but that’s just my opinion. The way I see it, God has the imagination and the power to create anything that he likes, and he’s gifted us with a small and limited shadow of that power and imagination (now that I think of it, kind of an aspect of being…[Read more]
