I think it ate my tag.

I’ll have to do something like that… Soon.

How long have you been writing verse? My first ‘poems’ were practically sets of rhyme and meter with nothing much in the way of meaning. They were TERRIBLE!

Maybe that’s why I don’t like jellybeans.

Ooo, that’s hard. I’ve read so many good books. Maybe Myles and Gascone from Men Of Iron, Shasta,…[Read more]

@keilah-h Aww, thank you! 🙂

Yeah, that kind of tongue-in-cheek wit is a bit prevalent in my writing. It’s not always a good thing…but I like it here. 😉

@annabelle
Hello there! I am Koshka, or at least that’s what I’m called around here. *gasp* Another Homeschooler… Hi!
You are publishing your first book? Awesome! I have yet to complete ONE of my many story idea, so not even close to where you are.

I love poetry too, both writing and reading.  My verse is rarely as direct as your Reading Poem.…[Read more]

Is this better?

Here voices scream, ‘You’re still in pain,

This Dream and Hope are all in vain.’

@abigail-m @anatra23

Thank you! My verse is just starting to feel right, if that makes any sense.

The voices are saying that. Would removing the punctuation clear that up, or do I need to do something else?

(YES, the author appreciates it very much!)

Welcome! 😉

*Note* I was wondering the same thing as @anatra23. Is it a dialogue?

Are there any things you would change?

@elishavet-pidyon @jodi-maile

Thank you! I loved writing it.

@koshka

This is a fascinating poem. I especially love the last stanza, and the others are very good too. The imagery is particularly intriguing to me, as well as the change in meter at the end of each stanza.

The author of this poem, who at the moment is doing the dishes and thus can’t access her phone, has requested I tag a few people to look over this. (I think that’s what she said.)

@anatra23 @power @abigail-m  @anybody-else @yes-you-reading-this-right-now 😉

@annabelle

You’re welcome! I can’t think of anything, but then, there might be something like that one of the mythology enthusiats here would know about. I don’t know much about fantasy in that direction myself.

Actually, Artham did inspire a character/creature in one of my books: essentially, the eagle I described above.

I was facsinated with…[Read more]

Wow, we do share quite a few favorite authors!

You like researching/designing fashion? Approximately, what eras hold the most interest for you, and what do you enjoy about it?

Personally, I enjoy learning about and recreating old clothing because I love history, and anyway, it’s great for world building! (Plus, hey, dressing up is fun.) 😉

@annabelle

Hmm, I’m not sure. The most similar thing besides angels (not fantasy, agreed) I can think of is either a pegasus or a huge eagle.

An eagle with a ten foot wingspan, strong protective instincts, and ready to sacrifice all if it would help those close to it.

And yes, that was MUCH more than needed. I got a bit carried away, I’m afraid.

My sincere apologies.

@joy-caroline

Thank you! (It’s a phrase deeply precious to me.)

Yours is beautiful too. I love a good quote!

As for my allegorical WIP, not only would I like to share it, but I need to hash it out with someone other than my sister. (Not that that is her fault, she’s a wonderful person to work stuff over with, and she’s welcome to comment on it,…[Read more]

@avacoulter

I don’t know if I’m good at world building, but I completely agree. It’s fun.

Ban Rona was a mess. Yes, I fought, what’s more, I fought for my life. Those battles are longer in experience than in the records.

Edmund taught you? Wow, that must have been an amazing experience. I’m currently under the training of Master Sejus. 😉

@annabelle

I heard a few if the Piano Guys’ stuff, but it was a while ago. They’ve done a lot of good arrangements basing off what I’ve heard.

Yep, Beethoven’s work is beautiful, but I’m definitely not there yet. 😉

Who’s my favorite wingfingy character? Artham, Janner, or Kalmar, but perhaps Sarah or Arundel? (Or Nia…) It’s hard to choose,…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I’m still rather new to this, so I’ll probably be coming up with great answers for this question in about two to three years. 😉

However, I do wish I understood both the importance of developing my characters and not to be afraid to change something even after months of work. Also, just to think through where I want my story to…[Read more]
