Question: (@spradlin, @daeus, @cahndida serkhaman, @jadamae, @sarah-h)
If you were illustrating this for a child, how would you illustrate this verse.

In a land long ago,
When men were all bad,
They stole and they murdered,
Which made the Lord sad.

I obviously don’t want to scare them, with people killing people, but I don’t want to make the…[Read more]

All of these ideas are interesting… hey, you might try combining them @hope. First off, you could have a misinterpreted prophecy regarding the King’s Horn for the whole book, that way everyone thinks that whoever blows it is the one whose enemies will be stricken down. That would keep the tension when E and K are fighting over it, and the…[Read more]

Currently I’m thinking about something along the lines of a tremor though the ground, light breaking though the darkening clouds in the shape of the King’s Sign (does that seem cheesy or cool?) and glinting off the shield of the MC high above the battle. A spirit of fear will trouble the enemy and new energy will sweep though the good ranks.…[Read more]

I don’t know. Besides, where would all the light be coming from? 🙂

Gavin stares at me sadly. “You mean you don’t remember my nicknames for you? I always called you Weirdo. Or Nerd.”
I try again. “No, I mean my real name. Like the one my parents gave me.” Which brought me to another question. Where were my parents? If I even had any…
“Wren.”
“What?” I ask.
“Wren. Your name is Wren.”

@spradlin Come and check this poem out. What do you think?

*blanches* raspberry!?! How can you eat those? (I can’t eat blackberries either. I do like blueberries and strawberries though.)
Thank you. Now, an illustrator….. (or not! 😛 )

@Ivy-rose It’s The Final Clash.

My sister is of the opinion I should have the whole battle underground; but 50,000 soldiers? There would have to almost be an underground city for that; something which I don’t have room for in this book. Perhaps just a hundred or so on each side… But it still boils down to the two characters; the shield and the spear.

I try to tag you and get it wrong! @daeus Try that instead. 😛

OK. So I’ve been working hard on this poem. I have added some more stanzas in case it does become a book. So the targeted audience is young children. With that in mind what do you think?
I’ll tag you just so you do see it @deaus. 😀

@anna-brie do you want to start with half an hour with me?

((Sorry guys! I can’t believe I left out a word! Ighhh))

I draw in a deep breath. “Oh.”
He stares at his shoes. “I just don’t know why it would’ve taken you a whole year…”
Oh boy. “I don’t know why either.”
He gives an annoyed laugh and stands up suddenly. “Well that’s apparent! I don’t know why I got my hopes up when I realized you were here. T…[Read more]

@overcomer
Hey, no problem! *beams* 🙂

@Ingridrd @jadamae thank you for saying so. Your praise encourages me to continue with poetry writing. This is one of the few poems I have written that I think is any good, but you make me want to edit the bad ones and see if I can’t make something of them after all. Who knows? 🙂

As to the name, I’m so glad we’re all of the same mind! That…[Read more]
