Trahia the Minstrel

@anatra23

I once said something innocently that sounded like something completely else. I probably shouldn’t tell the whole story, but basically I was 13, all my adult siblings were in the room, and I said something that was meant to be encouraging but all of them took it in a more … *ahem* kind of way.

One of my older brothers laughed so har…[Read more]

@overcomer

Hi! I don’t think we’ve met. I’m Tráhia the Minstrel, here on the forum.

Yeah, I think those are some of the reasons I like writing bromances too.

Nice to meet you!

@kathleenramm

I love sibling relationships — I’m particularly fond of brother-brother relationships. Which is kinda funny, seeing as how I’m a girl.😂 I did have to two brothers, though, so it’s not like I have no experience in seeing this relationship play out. I also know a lot of brother-brother pairs in my friend group.

But yeah, I really…[Read more]

@lewilliams

I love your profile pic. Perry is one of my faves.❤️

@power

It sounds like you’re writing epic fantasy — correct if I’m wrong — but if so having a larger cast isn’t bad. Read Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive series if you want to see a huge cast handled magnificently.

However, I would probably recommend that you keep the number of main protagonists to 3 or at the max 5 — just remember that…[Read more]

I’ve read Jane Eyre, I own both the actual book and the manga classic edition. I enjoy the story lots! Jane is a great character, and her relationship with Mr. Rochester is so sweet … and I loved the part at the start with her and Helen, as well. Made me quite sad/touched when I first read it.

St. John kinda annoys me, tho…[Read more]

@faith-q

This literally happened to me a few minutes ago.

I was being silly, and holding my Mum’s morning tea muffin aloft on a plate like Rafiki holds up Simba, while chanting The Circle of Life. I caught Mum’s attention as I held said plate aloft with two hands, and she gave me look like — as said by Adrian Plass — I’d announced a pig was d…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

I love your blog! I’m enjoying reading your posts.😊

@avacoulter

Thank you! I hope you like it!😊

@mkfairygirl

Thank you!

@karissa-chmil

Thanks! Yes, I’ve had some people (most people) tell me my names are impossible to pronounce. I think I need to include a pronunciation guide at the start of the book. XD.

I’m sorry to hear about the tragedy. I pray that God gives you healing in this troubled time.

I’ve recently started rewriting my second book. Here’s an excerpt from what I’ve just wrote today:

Salvárdé stood next to Tarûkon as Mérar haggled with the stable owner over the price of such a long-term board. The dark-skin…[Read more]

@karissa-chmil

I love your blog! Had so much fun! Just read every single one of your posts.

@madelyn

What if Rumplestiltskin wasn’t an old man? What if he was a younger man? What if it was a woman named Rumplestiltskin? What if he asked for a firstborn daughter instead of a son?

Just throwing ideas, please feel free to ignore all of them. I just find what if questions fun.😊

@keilah-h

This is fun! And I’ve really enjoyed everyone else’s answers. @abigail-m , I can totally relate to Fitz Vacker thing! I love that book series, but Fitz made me so mad in the later few books. I’m definitely in teem Foster-Keefe, or Keephie, depends what we’re calling it.

Onto the questions and my answers!

Q: Is there a charact…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

In my most recent story idea, I still don’t have a plot.😅 But I do have a bunch of really cool characters, and an awesome world. So yeah. Just need a plot now.

I think in most my stories the characters come first for me … because the way I write, often the characters are the plot. Or, more accurately, while there may be ext…[Read more]

@autumn-rebecca

Sorry, misspelled your name the first time.

@jenwriter17 and @annabelle

Thanks for your advice!

I have made the decision and joined Author Conservatory. My start date is in June.😊

@abigail-m

Thank you! I’m glad you like it! Sorry I haven’t managed to get out a new post this week, it’s been a bit of a really busy week for me, with all kinds of things — mostly the biggest thing being that I made a huge life decision and decided to join the Author Conservatory. My start date is in June.😊

@autumn-rebecca

That’s cool! Yeah, I’ve liked the style for a long time cause my older brothers are really into it, and one of them got me into it. I don’t watch all anime, though, cause a lot of them are quite dark and/or haves weird/adult content.
