Trahia the Minstrel

@power

Since you’re offering …😁😉

How could a teenage girl with an abundance of knives beat a teenage boy with a sword and shield? This is important for a climax of mine, but I want it to be realistic.

Also, do you watch Shadiversity? The comment about the lightsabers made me wonder …

@power

That’s amazing. You sound like both my older brothers😂 My closest brother always used to play sword fights with me, and I even got him to help me mock out a fight scene for my book a few weeks ago …

@morgan

I’ve never been a twin or a brother, but I’ve had two older brothers, an older sister, and a younger sister. However, my brother…[Read more]

@koshka

So…. Just to clarify, you and your twin can’t feel when the other is pain? Cause I’ve heard of that being able to happen. (The twins in one of my WIP are identical, boy-boy, and the twins in the other WIP are fraternal boy-girl. Did I mention I have a thing for writing multiple birth characters?😅)

But, when it comes to twins, can you f…[Read more]

Do you guys mind if I jump in? Sorry I haven’t been super active on the forum recently, and may not have replied to anything you said. I’ve been taking a huge break from things over the Christmas/New Years holidays.

As well as binging Keeper of the Lost Cities. The who…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

I know exactly what you mean. My current WIP, The Prince of WalfKlau(working title) was originally intended to be my first-ever standalone. Ha.

Ha.

Ha.😂

I quickly realised I’d never be able to tell such an epic story in one book, and it quickly turned into a trilogy in my mind. I then wrote 94 chapters — yes, you read that rig…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I think a cool topic of the week would be “What is your favourite character type/character relationship type?” Like the ‘Mentor’ or the ‘Young Knight’ or the ‘Brother-brother duo, etc. Things like that. In my WIP, I have a ‘tactician,’ a ‘minstrel,’ a ‘peasant-raised prince,’ a ‘usurper,’ a ‘best-friend duo,’ a ‘pair of…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Thanks! I’m hoping to start writing the 2nd draft real soon.😊

@koshka

Wow, you’re a twin? What’s it like being twins — if you don’t mind talking about it? (I may or may not have some twins in my WIP that I’d like some inspo for.😉)

@anatra23

You can get Torment for the piano?😃

Also, that scene when Torment plays makes me feel so much emotion, every time. Like how she tosses the things off the desk around the room, and then screams and cries at the toy dog. *Shivers.*

*Feels.*

Yeah, I’ve seen all the VE specials and the movie. I felt the movie kinda wrecked all the t…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Thanks for the reccs anyway! My sister and I have actually already watched Totoro and Ponyo, she loved them, and I enjoyed them a lot more than I thought I would. They’re such cute movies!

@annabelle

Your book list is epic! And I love Viking Quest too — it’s like, my favourite book series ever! But my series of it has 5 books — have they changed it or something? My family’s series is the first editions.

@devastate-lasting

I’d love your recommendations for kid-friendly manga and/or anime. My younger sister wants to watch more anim…[Read more]

@anatra23

Do you guys mind if I jump in here cause I love these topics?😊

I love Violet Evergarden’s music too! My favourites are Rust, Never Coming Back, The Voice in My Heart, The Ultimate Price, Inconsolable, The Love That Binds Us, and Believe In…

Yes, the extended editions of LOTR! My family never watches any other version — we’re kinda s…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Oh boy. Here we go. This isn’t in order of when I read them, by the way, but these are all the new books I remember reading last year. (It’s already new year for me right now.)

How Many Books Have You Read This Year?

#1 The Way of Kings Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive Book 1

#2 Words of Radiance Stormlight Archive Book 2…[Read more]

Hi everyone! Sorry for the late replies, I’ve been having a huge Christmas break

@elishavet-pidyon

You’re totally not crazy! I think your cover idea sounds epic! I mean, leather? That’s so cool! And you seem to be quite a good artist — I’m sure you could draw it or use photoshop!

It’s still so funny that we inadvertently have similar nam…[Read more]

@power

Yeah, you’re not wrong about helmets😅. But my character doesn’t wear one as part of his design, probably for the reasons you just stated, though I never really thought about it before … however, the armour he’s wearing is ceremonial armour, not battle armour — it’s a sign of status, not a tool of strength. And the boy on the left actual…[Read more]

@annabelle

Thanks!

I love your compositions — it really evokes this feeling of wistfulness, or determination — the mood tells a story. I love the last one, and I think it’s cool you work in coloured pencils! I’ve done a lot of coloured pencils drawings before. Good job!

@koshka

I love your collage! It’s definitely got me intrigued about your story.😊

Yes, art that you can feel satisfied with is sooo rewarding…

@scoutfinch180

I love the second one you put up (which you said you’d done first), but since I don’t know your story, I can’t say whether the darker and more ominous aesthetic — which makes it feel lik…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Thank you so much! The girl on the top of the cover is Princess Lína Veh-Jûranal of Férījinar, Lily of the Oasis. As to what she’s worried about … that’ll have to remain a secret, until my 2nd book is finished 😉😁.

@koshka

Yeah … I wanted to have ‘The Prince of WalfKlau’ at the top, and originally I did, but then I realised that i…[Read more]
