George MacDonald was a Scottish author in the mid-late 1800s. He wrote some fantasy (The Light Princess for example). His fantasy is unique in its beautiful reflection of Christian morals/themes (it’s in there deep), and he was a major influencer in C. S. Lewis’ work. He also wrote some, what do you call it, in-our-world-fiction (Sir…[Read more]

The question is, if I tag someone am I apparently forcing a response? (Ok, I get timid at times.)

@keilah-h

Sorry. By the way, if I ever forget to tag someone, don’t hesitate to pop on anyway. I’m still getting used to using the forum.

@trahia-the-minstrel

Thank you!

@anatra23 @koshka

Wasn’t it? And it’s good to end a series before it gets fizled out. He ends it with “Hey, there’s more coming, it’ll be better than what’s here, but that’s a new epoch. Let’s go and have our own adventures.”

And I love the George MacDonald quote as the epigraph. It’s so perfect.

Plus,(sorry this has been a bit of a ramble) if…[Read more]

Oh how many books have I at least confused by reading ahead? Almost every book I read. =|

His books are sooooo good. I hope mine may somehow measure up.*sigh* I would probably have written waayyy to far and ruined it.

Here’s my other pic. I had to put them on separately.

Incomplete sketch. Mouth is only half open.

Aurrgh!! It ate my response three times!!

@elishavet-pidyon

Oh I love birds of prey! Those are some long wing and life spans. Does the fact that they mourn tie in with the book any?

@keilah-h

Are your Ailurids animals or something like the cloven of Wingfeather? Can they and if they are animals, can they think (like people)?

Here is…[Read more]

Yes, they’re from my GE fan fic. The one about a cousin of the Jovesons.

*Note* It ends before any romance enters the scene. 😉 XD

Update

Ok, I read the rest of the book. Yes, I still love it.

@keilah-h

Maybe he does like fan fiction. All I know is that his series is one of the few that have prompted me to write fan fiction. My twin sister and I wrote a sort of extra epilogue using what we consider foreshadowing in the books. We’re still revising it, but I’m fairly…[Read more]

Writing has helped me think in words, to put my thoughts in a written format. But that may be expected. What I didn’t expect was a love for editing.

Yes, editing. Fixing mistakes, taking my horrid words and forming something beautiful. Sadly, I rarely have enough written to reform, and what I do have usually needs complete revision. *Sighs,…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

My typing improved! Ok, that isn’t a nice, deep thinking one one, but it’s true. My spelling and typing have improved* immensely.

Also, writing is teaching me to harness* my imagination. Instead of rambling from character sketch to character sketch, I’m learning to brainstorm ideas and create storylines with meaning behind them.…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Hi, I’m sorry I’m so late in responding. I saw your post fairly soon, but somehow haven’t replied. *Shrugs* (hard to explain, life is, well life.)

Anyway, your creature sounds pretty astounding. I personally love cats, sooo… (And don’t you love the word Humanoid? It’s not my usual type of word, but…)

And I like how you made a name…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Those are great, I especially like the first and last one. I second Lydia about Mejia.

@lydia-s

Hmm. Did you like what you read of Archer’s Cup? I will admit it wasn’t my favorite, but it’s hard to not have a book of less quality in a series. And his books are SO good. They’ve done what only two other books have, and to a greater…[Read more]

Ok, make that ten feet.

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]
