Trahia the Minstrel

@annabelle

Is it sad if I say my favourite Christmas movie is a toss between Veggietales’ St. Nicholas, and the Donut Man’s Christmas episode? Both were such a great part of my childhood, I just get fond memories whenever I watch them. I found the Nativity pretty good as well. Oh, and I recently enjoyed Christmas with the Chosen.

Hi! I’m Tráhia the Minstrel. Welcome to Kingdom Pen!

I like your website, by the way. I really enjoyed reading your post about book recommendations! I love that you love Viking Quest too! It’s my favourite series ever!😃😃😃

That’s cool you play piano. I learnt for 8 years, then stopped because I wanted to just play for fun … and beca…[Read more]

sorry, looks like the link didn’t work the first time …

@scipter-of-kingdoms

I have read the Four Swords Manga, actually.🙂 It was the second one of the mangas I got. I liked the characters in terms of all the Links, but it was probably my least favourite of the mangas I’ve read because of the whole ‘dark world’ thing — I just wasn’t okay with that concept.

My favourite Zelda manga is still probably…[Read more]

@koshka

I don’t have magic either😃 Which made me seriously doubt whether my book could even be classed as fantasy, especially since I also don’t have mythical creatures or monsters. But I’ve decided my book does fit in that genre — mostly cause I can’t think of any other genre it would fit in. It’s a fantasy type story — kinda like Avatar the La…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

The Hermit. Yes.😂 I love Horse and his Boy …

I don’t think it’s plagiarism, though. Your story will be different to mine in a thousand other ways, so I don’t think it really matters if some of our names have similarities.

@scripter-of-kingdoms

I saw you post recently, and wondered if you knew this topic existed — I had tagged you, but there’s a chance the link(😂) didn’t work.

Just cause I know you love Zelda games.😊

@koshka

You write medieval fantasy! Epic😁 Me too.😁

Hi @joy-caroline !

I love this topic, cause it’s something I get quite insecure about. That is, I want to write clean stories from a Christian worldview, but I don’t want my stories to be all about faith and religion. I just want them to be good stories, if you know what I mean — I write YA fantasy. My sister tells me it can’t be classed as YA c…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

I love your lines! And is it crazy that I also have a character whose nickname is Prince S?😂

@avacoulter

Hi! Welcome to the forum!

I love writing fantasy too, and I was homeschooled as well! I also love Marvel, LOTR, and the Wingfeather Saga!

Also, Ava is such a pretty name😊

Some welcome questions:

Which fictional character would you want to be the most?

What weapon would you choose if you were given a split-second choice before…[Read more]

@jodi-maile

I know, right? I hated revising at first, but now it’s a lot harder to move into a new book instead of constantly polishing what I already have.

Also, I totally get the thing about the scariness of caring about publication. I have a feeling Yanet part of what may be holding me back at the moment, so maybe I should just enjoy w…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I’m actually struggling quite a bit right now, though I definitely don’t want to give up. I’m sorta having trouble reigniting my passion for free-writing after a very long editing sesh on my first book. I want to rewrite my second one, and I’m getting stuck even in the outline — I just want it to be so good. I know it could be…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

You should totally do it! It takes a lot of work, but it’s really cool when you start to see your scenes and characters come to life on screen, moving! I actually have done a bit of animation and storyboarding for an anime op for my book, actually. I’ll see if I can link it here:

Um — so I figured out it wasn’t working. However…[Read more]

@issawriter7

Yes! Shadow Throne is my favourite, too, I think! Jaron’s tactics in it are just so good, and the ending was just so satisfying, and there were times where I wasn’t sure how he was gonna get out of those situations, but he did. And I really wanted him to be with Imogen at the end somehow, and he was — although I kinda could…[Read more]

@jodi-maile

I love the Boiling Rock episodes! They’re some of my favourite — the bromance between Zuko and Sokka is just so good!😁

@elanor

Just an idea, feel free to toss it away — what if when Zyla escapes she’s crying after this argument with Kedja, and as she gets to the perimeter, she hears Kedja’s screams? This could be a way to hit home…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I think my shortest time to write a novel was the first novel I ever wrote, a fan fic which I’m pretty sure took me under a year.

My longest has been my current project The Prince of WalfKlau (working title), in which it took me roughly 2 years to write the first and second book, back to back, another whole year to revise the e…[Read more]

@sparrowhawke

I really enjoy the Royal Tutor series. It’s kinda an alternate history manga series in which the kingdom, Granzireich, is based on the Austro-Hungarian empire, somewhere in the 1800’s. It’s about how Heine, the new Royal Tutor, has to teach the four youngest princes to be candidates to the throne. It’s a really fun series and one…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

You said that so much better than me, lol😂

@faith-q

I agree with what @elfwing said about respecting the government, but always putting God’s commands first. As far as I understand it (which admittedly may not be much) we are to obey and respect our leaders, but we are not to obey anything which goes against the Bible or what God decrees. Think about the early Christians — they res…[Read more]
