Enclave publishing has a list of Christian conferences that I found. Here it is, if anyone is interested. I haven’t looked though them all yet, but am hoping to go to one this year.

GAMES! *delighted shriek* We loves GAMES, Precious!

‘I stumbled down the front steps of the porch and staggered across the lawn, the soft, warm sunshine playing in rippling speckles over my face. No. This was not supposed to happen. I couldn’t bear it— my heart would break. How could he just be gone— just like that? I hadn’t even had a chance…[Read more]

Hahaha! That would be lovely. 😀

Heh… right. 😛

Hey… I like that!

Oh hey @writefury, didn’t see ya there! 😛
Thanks for the critique— yes, I should hope I’ve improved. I wrote that one… uh… let’s see… two years ago? Or no, I think it was one. Whew… I’ve come a ways since then! 😀

*terrified squeal* Um… 2045?
Or maybe… never. 😛 I honestly don’t know if it even has the potential to be published at all. Historical fiction has to be stunningly outstanding to even do tolerably well in today’s market.

Everybody dies.

Okay. That was a joke.

Yes, the Teleri are fascinating, and poor Beleg is a wonderful character. *sigh* The best characters usually have the worst ends. :'(

So yeah, watch out for the long lines, and that’s pretty much it for this poem. You did good with the emotion— that’s always something I highly prize in a poem, and when it’s very raw and gripping I like it…[Read more]

Hey, glad you found it interesting @bluejay! 😀

Silly phone and auto correct. Try again.

*horrified gasp* Oh no! That’s terrible!

Well actually, I don’t think you have to worry about it too much. It is a given, after all, that most humans have noses. 😛

Ha… yes, his nose. 🙂 For some reason I tend to give my characters noses that fit their personality types. It’s… kind of weird, when you think about it. 😛

*pauses with mouse over ‘submit’, cringes, moves back to message and inserts*: @Daeus.
*sigh* These tag things will be the death of me yet.

Hey @belegteleri, this is a great poem! I loved it, which is saying a lot since I don’t usually go for free verse. The only thing I would say is watch out for the lines that are much, much longer than other lines, as that can tend to break up the flow.

By the way, I thought Beleg was a bowman, not a shipwright. *wink* 😉

An MC who grows up all his life thinking he’s the son of a king, then discovers he’s the son of a pauper.
Actually I’m planning to do that already. 🙂

A scheming fairy god-mother.

Thank you, @Daeus. That pretty much answers all the doubts I had about this scene.
You should hire yourself out as a professional editor.

But honestly, I don’t know how anyone could stand such a profession. 😛

One question— what about the guy? Did the scene pique your interest in him? That’s pretty much the only purpose to have it— to show…[Read more]
