Trahia the Minstrel

@madelyn

Aww, thank you! And I will. XP Planning to get it professionally edited next year. . . still not sure if I’ll be pursuing publication with it, but I haven’t ruled the idea out yet.

*salutes*

XD

Yesssss, they’re amazing. It’s good! I don’t think I enjoyed it quite as much as Dust and Shadow, but it was still wonderful. And the cover is…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel XD I’m much more comfortable with most accents due to being bilingual, but then I accidentally throw something in there and my readers just go “WHOA WAIT WHAT”.

Thank you. <3

@annabelle Heheh, yep.

@trahia-the-minstrel Awww, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

@devastate-lasting Thanks so much! <3

@annabelle Thank you! Yep, lots of perfectionism as far as the design went. XD

@trahia-the-minstrel (again) Ooh, nice snippet! Very fantasy-esque names. XP

@lavenderbookling Thank you. <3

@mkfairygirl Highly appreciated. <3 Thank you.

@madelyn

Awww, thank you! The connection was actually pointed out by a friend, and I latched onto it at once. I’m almost done outlining (just need to run it by some friends and get the chapters sketched out), and then I’ll plunge into the first draft. 😀

Mhm! I feel like I’ve read something recently that had to do with Rumpelstiltskin, but I’m…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Aw, thank you! It’s thestorylight.com. 😀

@annabelle Mm, yeah, it really was. 💔 But thank you! Yep, it’s the link I shared just above.

@trahia-the-minstrel I don’t know who Zuko is, but if you see him as a good character he counts. Also, I totally see why you’d pick #4 for a Marvel character–they can get out of things by themselves, what with all their cool stuff!

Also, you’re allowed more than one character for liking or hating. I can see why your choices annoyed you;…[Read more]

@annabelle Congratulations on that spotlight! Looks great!

@power Goodness, that accent. XD Have a pirate character in any WIP

@lavenderbookling Heheh, join the club as far as wandering-around-KingdomPen goes. XP

Past few days have been anything but normal, since the aforementioned Young Writer’s Workshop just had a tragedy, so, especially as a…[Read more]

(@trahia-the-minstrel ‘Eyyyyy, that’s a rare mixture of book-reading right there. XD Yes, we definitely need to get together to nerd sometime. XP)

@karissa-chmil

Thank you 🙂

@elishavet-pidyon

Ah, yes. A skill our younger selves painfully possess. XD

@godlyfantasy12

Oh, those are so good! What great characters.

@kathleenramm Depends. 90% of what I write is fanfictions*, so I already have several characters–and can just work out a plot and maybe a few more characters.

But for my original story, I got a plot and main character at almost the same time. Right now, I’m working more on creating characters and the world than I am the plot.

*The fanfiction…[Read more]

@madelyn  Ooh! I haven’t read any fairytale retellings, but a few friends of mine told me about a show they watched which was basically about all the different fairytales mixed together. Like, the descendant of a character from one story was a character from another, etc.

I’ve read the original Rumpelstiltskin story (a few different versions,…[Read more]

Ooh. . . interesting question. Honestly, it’s probably the plot – which I find a bit strange, since my writing is so character-driven.

I think that I usually start with just a whisper of a plot, but then the characters develop much quicker than the plot – like they need that tiny whisper to bring them to life before they can take the…[Read more]

@power o.O That’s intense. But also awesome.

@madelyn

Ooh, sounds exciting! Fairytale retellings are awesome. 😀

My current WIP is actually a fairytale retelling, so let me summarize that real quick as I’ll likely be drawing on that a lot in this answer. . .

It’s a novella that draws on the what-if of if the shared last name between Robin Hood and Little Red Riding Hood was no accident at…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Aw, thank you! <3

@godlyfantasy12

Ooh, November sounds awesome!

@abigail-m It’s very cool! I like the fact that the story’s about animals (rabbits in particular), yet there’s a bunch of battles and cool stuff in it. Also that it’s not super violent even though it’s about a war–the author wrote it for kids.

@abigail-m I don’t mind Fitz, but I can see why people might. I’m just happy that you’ve also heard of the KOTLC series…..I like it, and it was funny when they told Sophie to “make him look pretty in pink.”

Sam is awesome! He was a great character, that’s for sure. And he’s kind of forgotten in the corner most of the time, which makes it all…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel Awesome!

@anatra23 That first character sounds very interesting. XD
