I really like Peter Hollens as well. He does some really good fantasy ballads his songs from A Game of Thrones (I have never watched or read the show/books) and His version of I see fire are really good

@starofthenorth

My older brother is awesome!! 😎

@starofthenorth

I have a lot! One I really like for my character Christopher is “Angel Fire” by Fernando Ortega. And “A Whole New World” from Aladdin (I especially like Peter and Evynne Hollens’ version) is great for him and Briana.

Cool! I love music from Peter and Evynne Hollens!

@arien

Great topic! Let me go check my playlist real quick . . .

I agree with what you’ve been saying, so I’ll try not to be redundant . . . I would say, definitely don’t write explicit descriptions of the “real” magic in this world, the kind of demon-possession and occult witchcraft that…[Read more]

@felicity

Sorry I didn’t respond earlier, but anyway, yes, @starofthenorth is my sister and we are great co-conspirators!

And the wee hours of the morning are the BEST time to talk all things WIPs, character romances, etc. 😀 🤣

Oh yes, my brain works great then, LOL! I’m super tired because I was up late last night . . . got an idea and had to…[Read more]

Great topic! Let me go check my playlist real quick . . .

Okay, for Elinor, I think Metamorphosis II, a sad Scottish fiddle tune called My Nanny O, and “Life” by Ludovico Einaudi fit really well. I know, they’re all instrumental, but I find…[Read more]

@felicity @starofthenorth

My sis is about five years younger than me, and sometimes we’ll talk about my stories! I enjoy talking about them with my younger brother as well. And my older brother… well we don’t talk about my stories, but a variety of things, from politics to stupid memes. Lol 😂

I’ve always wanted an older sister or a twin, but I d…[Read more]

Digital art of Tauren! I’ve been using a graphics tablet lately and I really like it!

@starofthenorth

Haha, we sure do! And stay up into the wee hours of the morning (okay, maybe not that long) thoroughly discussing them 🤣😁

Sisters are hands down the best co-conspirators. And the wee hours of the morning are the BEST time to talk all things WIPs, character romances, etc. 😀 🤣 I have a sister 3 yr. older than me and I’m so thankful…[Read more]

Thank  you all for your replies! I enjoyed reading them.

@koshka

Take a look at how the Bible portrays evil. Does this book do the same?

That’s such a great way to sum it up!

@mineralizedwritings

Oh, this is definitely a topic that I’ve thought about.

I think the biggest thing is to separate good and evil and to make it clear that good is good and evil is evil, which is what most everyone else said. Once my dad said something along the lines of ‘if you want to read something with a lot of adultery and murder then…[Read more]

Next, Albert Moore!

He was one the fun-loving middle children of the Moore family. Until the war breaks out. They live in the South and don’t agree with slavery. They plan to escape to the North… but before they do, Albert and his father are drafted. They has no choice but to accept. They for…[Read more]

@starofthenorth @freedomwriter76 @felicity @koshka

Ok!! I’ve got the moodboards!

First, Ethan Graham!

Being the first born son of the Graham family and having a younger brother and sister, he has a lot of weight on his shoulders. But his parents appreciate how responsible he is. When a war breaks out in between the North and South, Ethan e…[Read more]

@esther-c    Great verses, thanks for sharing! “I address my verses to the King” is such a powerful line.
@lightoverdarkness @starofthenorth @mineralizedwritings @otherpeople
This is interesting. I’ve never really thought of magic as being evil. Magic is probably what got me into writing actually. None of my stories are without it, and I only ju…[Read more]

1. Magic – When I think of magic in my fantasy worlds I usually think of it more in terms of the magic being something like physics or electricity rather than the occult. I find this can help explore unique worlds that work differently than ours and have different cult…

This is such a great topic, and I’ve been thinking about this lately too. I normally stay away from writing any kind of magic, but I believe that if you clearly show that it is wrong and evil, it’s okay to feature a little bit in your book, if you have to. B…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Great topic!

I’ve done fantasy before, but the thing that could be considered “magic” was each tribe having a supernatural ability gifted by their Creator. There weren’t any powers that they could harness on their own, (even though their gifts could be used wrongly). There is definitely a line when writing magic. I like wh…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Oh, I’ve been wanting to make a topic about this for a while but have never quite gotten to it. I’m glad other people have been thinking about this too! I actually have several dark/creepy stories that I haven’t shared on here. Also, I’ve been writing an essay for school that is about essentially the same subject (I could s…[Read more]

@starofthenorth

Thanks!! I like my characters too!! Lol I think I’ll make the moodboards soon!!
