@kate-flournoy Just tagging you because you’re normally into this. If you want to do it, I’ll get you your own doc.

@that_writer_girl_99 Research English longbowmen. They were the best of the best and traditional bowmanship was a bit different than today. Like English bowmen sometimes used 100lb draw bows, which just makes us all look like epic wimps basically.

@dragon-snapper Aha, I see 😉

@itisastarrynight *looks in awe of raspberry sunshine*

@inklingforchrist Good question. I honestly don’t know. Every time I start a novel, it’s a big fear of mine that it’s not going to be very long at all. But even if your novels are short, it’s okay. My only suggestion for making books longer is adding in more conflict between characters and…[Read more]

@winter-rose Yep. I’m still lovin’ that GIF. XD

@ethryndal Perfect GIF. 😛  I’m surprised though, you didn’t use Galadriel. 😛 😉

@jenwriter17 The chair melting thing is basically what I do when I’m not happy with something. It’s my forum ‘signature’. 😉

@emma-flournoy Thankee.

@itisastarrynight For me, simple observing has been the best. I’ve actually been observing for a year and  half now. O.O Woah… that long, self? Weird.

@bella-d Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever even heard of her. What do you like about her?

@bella-d That’s so cool you write historical fiction. Some of us on here do, but the vast majority write fantasy. I write both, and other genres as well. Who’s your favorite historical character?

@rochellaine Yep, it’s called contemporary fiction.

Well, that failed.

So. I ended up writing some songs. Just some little snippets to put at the beginning of chapters. Here they are!

@emily-d Oh my goodness yes riding horses is pure awesomeness, bliss, and all those other happy words!!! Do you a favorite breed? I really like Quarter horses and especially Thoroughbreds. do you ride western or english?

I haven’t seen a Cavalia show, but I want to sooooo bad! I think they came to my city once, but i missed it….😂

@that_writer_girl_99 Okay. Well, there are a lot of swords, but this will cover all you need.

• One handed sword. The handle is only big enough for one hand. You’re probably going to use this in conjunction with a shield.
• One and a half handed sword. The handle is just the right size to fit two hands, but it can also be comfortably handled with…

@ingridrd THAT SOUNDS AMAZING!!!!!!

@that_writer_girl_99 Okay. Well, if I just spewed out everything I could possibly tell you, we’d be here for quite some time. Could you narrow things down any? What do you need to decide on for your novel?

Also, if you haven’t yet, check out this article I wrote.

@that_writer_girl_99 I have fired compound, recurve, and longbows before, but I’m certainly not an expert on them. If you have any questions on handheld weapons though (especially swords), I’d be happy to help.

@that_writer_girl_99 I need help with this too. Trust me, the Google isn’t very helpful at finding swordfighting stances or even just types of swords.

@ingridrd Sounds awesome! What genre is it? can you give me a tiny synopsis? (I love hearing about KeePer books. 😉 )

@ingridrd Still working on Embers. I’ve gotten, lets see…14,114 words so far, and I’m deep into the third chapter. What’s your WIP called?

@ingridrd YAY! I’m still writing. Its awesome finally getting my colors back after so long….what’re you working on?

@itisastarrynight So, I had that exact same question just a week ago.

And I started a blog. I had no idea what I was going to write about, but as soon as I started it, I started finding ideas.

To get a general idea of what bloggers blog about, I’d check out a bunch of blogs. There are some good ones on the page of my blog.

For me, I get the…[Read more]
