Hi, everyone! It’s me again, and I have a question/whatsyoumaycallit. And yes, you can totally ignore this post if you want, I don’t want to hog anything.

Ok, so I know some of us have created animals for our books, whether they’re real, a bit imagined, or wildly different. (I’m one of those) So, I wanted to ask, what is your favorite critter of…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

I know, right? Una is a perfect example of a weak-yet-strong character. I can’t tell how many times I’ve imagined Walter coming back, I mean, wouldn’t it be a perfect story of healing for him to find beauty in life again?

A funny thing about “Goldie”. We have a cat who is Dr Jekyll-Mr Hyde all over again as well, so Jasper gets…[Read more]

First, I’m sorry life’s crazy right now. And Covid can be hard to recover from, I know from experience. I don’t have amazing words of wisdom, but I’ll give what I can.

Make sure to take time for studying His Word and prayer. I know it can be hard, but everything usually goes better after time alone with God.

Get enough rest. I know, I know,…[Read more]

Oh no! What did I get myself into? 😉 Ok, Fort Apache is an old Western set in southwest Texas. Our family used to watch it  and its sequel a lot. We kids liked it better than the sequel, because it had a funny scene with a group of children, while our mother liked the sequel better because it had a better plot, and sweet, thoughtful…[Read more]

*rereads post, and finds I lied. Eeeeeps*

I was ALWAYS into history, (we were given history books to read as story books)it was just a few years ago that I got into historical accuracy.

Ok, let’s see…

The American Girl Stories: they were meant for a young audience, and I see them as such. I still like them, they’re just….

Little One, Maid of Israel: Biblical fiction taken flight. Sweet story, not satisfied with the ending.

But honestly, it’s been a while since I reread anything beyond classics like Northanger Abbey and The…[Read more]

@e-p-writes

Thank you! It’s alright, life is hard enough to keep up with. 😉

@abigail-m

Have you ever heard of Simon Khorolskiy? If you like good Russian worship music most of what I’ve heard of his I recommend.

@abigail-m

Is there any particular wolf biography you would recommend? Wolves are such beautiful creatures, it is sad when they are usually viewed as evil. That was one reason I wanted to write about them. This does help with the theme for this series; it doesn’t matter who you are, what you had done, or where you’ve been, you choose what heart…[Read more]

@abigail-m

This is all first draft, so… you know. Feedback more than welcome.

Note: The epilogue takes place in a world war almost a thousand years later.

Prologue
The sun was sinking, weary with winter. Moonlight was already dancing with the falling snow. A lonesome voice joined winds in song, then fell away. The stars hid, buried deep in…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Oh, and I’m thrilled you are using 9th century Russia! Most goof Medieval fantasy I’ve read is based in later centuries when there is so much left in earlier times.

@abigail-m

Um, I’m not sure what you mean by biographies, but I don’t think so. Most of what I know has come from old textbooks, pictures, and conversations. Most of the fictional books I’ve read that include some type of wolf usually equate them with something bad. Or maybe I just haven’t read many books with wolf characters.

Thank you! I try…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Thank you! 😀 He turned out so sweet.

@anatra23 Yeah, eyes can be hard to do. I think this was one of my best attempts at the “photo” look yet. For what it’s worth, there are bunches of step-by-step images online for eyes that I found transformed the way my sketches looked. That and copying detailed photographs.

Sorry I have taken so…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Thank you. 🙂 (I’m afraid the inner essayist came out in that post) Yeah, I love classics, but we need more good books on the shelf than those written sixty+ years ago.

Why do I write? I’m not sure. I’ve actually pondered this many times; wondering if I need to be writing. Still, I haven’t been writing like this for long, so some things aren’t ironed out yet.

I started writing because I saw a lack of good, true (fun) books to be had. All the newer authors seemed to either be trailing off the deep end or leaving…[Read more]

I love this series and especially the end. Although I was shocked when I got to it, I love the way it was written.

I wouldn’t want it to end any other way. It was meant to shake you, to make you stop and think.

It’s powerful. It’s a message. It is hope.

Hi, everyone! I like the Wingfeather Saga, although it is one of those books I have to find the lessons in or I can’t get out of it/enjoy it.

I also love the ending: the power behind it is mind blowing. There is no doubt in my mind that Janner comes back, (I mean, it’s fiction. The ending is as you like it. [Okay, I know that’s an annoying way to…[Read more]

@elfwing

I’m glad to hear that!

@abigail-m

Привет! I am commenting on here as it wouldn’t let me reply to you on the activity-feed-thing.

My brother’s writing is amazing (Don’t Tell him I said that)!

Thank you! I love my wolves and themes too. (Otherwise why would I like talking about them so much?)

My favorite theme to write? Ooo, I suppose that ‘ matter what you’ve done,…[Read more]
