@sam-kowal      Hi!

I know, I’m only halfway through The Way of Kings (probably?  Listening to the audiobook) and it sounds really awesome!

I agree that NF isn’t best to listen to all the time because of a few songs, so I usually switch to TobyMac, Mandisa, or Jamie Grace after listening to his songs for a while.

I love it how you and Dra…[Read more]

Okay…. @clairec, @sam-kowal    I can’t seem to get this tag thing working!

@sam-kowal Thank you.

Hi @sam-kowal!  That story sounds hilarious! 😀

@ariella-newheart Indeed it is a writer’s corner. *is probably way too happy she isn’t the only one who made that typo in the title*
I’m working on Firebird.

@ariella-newheart  Good question! I have struggled with the exact same thing in my KPA (that’s Kapeefer Adventure, sort of like the LOKD). I guess it depends on the series: How long it is, and when and where your MC(s) are traveling. If you have to put in all your recurring characters, you could either alter the characters so they fit each scene,…[Read more]

@clairec and @dekreel I have checked out the Legend of King Daeus, though I really should read it over again. I remember that there were a lot of fun characters in it. 😛

@sam-kowal Thank you so much! Wait….you have a DRAGON!?!? I love dragons! *waves madly at Stan* 😀

@dekreel So, @sam-kowal mentioning historical science fiction by Jules Verne reminded me that one of the most well-known science fiction series ever is the Tom Swift series by Edward Stratemeyer.  The first series was written in the early 1900s, and was a huge success, but most of the inventions Tom made have now been made in real life, such as t…[Read more]

@christi-eaton  No, I haven’t…

@sam-kowal  @jane-maree  @jenwriter17  @dragon-snapper  @rochellaine  @skredder  @valtmy  @kate-flournoy  @daeus  @anyone

Sci-fi books that you’d recommend, anyone? I seriously need to read more of it… Oh! Or Steampunk! I’ve never read Steampunk and I really want to. Unless it isn’t a book genre……

@sam-kowal Yes, I’ll definitely let you all know how they are. I predict fangirling in the near future

@Jane-maree awesome!

@dekreel @sam-kowal explained a motif really well — a reoccurring image or element in a story. I’m pretty sure it could be a symbol too? But a symbol would be more of an object that represents an abstract idea, like Jack Sparrow’s compass represents his choices. A theme is the central idea of your novel: justice, forgiveness, love, etc (and a…[Read more]

hey everyone! I just bought three new books and I plan on reading them soon. I wanted to see if anyone of you had read any of these, and if so, I would appreciate any warnings of questionable content. Here they are:

Defier, by Mandy Fender

Swipe, by Evan Angler

Last Light, by Terri Blackstock

btw, is anyone on Goodreads?

@jane-maree @mariposa…[Read more]

@Skredder It’s on my reading list for next week!

@Rochellaine Ohh! Yes, I do, actually. I’ve been listening to Ella Fitzgerald recently. 😀

@notawriter Thank you! I like K.M. Weiland and Lemony Snicket. Also — I have to ask about your username. XD

@introvert_girl Thanks! My favorite colors are all shades of pink, light purple, and teal, in…[Read more]
