Awwwwwwwwww.

Moth is right. They are both kind. Trivial things have insurmountable value.

@loopylin @whalekeeper

Ari says yes. I don’t know what to RP for him saying that though.

“May I say something that is a little embarrassing for me?”

Yes.

@whalekeeper

I rarely enter these conversations, although it’s not because I don’t have thoughts to share. XD But I saw your post and thought I might have something to add.

As someone who does believe that speaking in tongues is the innitial sign of new birth by the Spirit, I still do not want to discount the experience you have with God. I…[Read more]

That sounds hilarious! I would pick up a book like that. I hope you get back to writing it someday.

Ari

His eyebrow rose, but he made no other response. The statement didn’t seem to require one.

He hadn’t meant to give advice, only observe. Warn maybe. Why did you even open your mouth, Verenion?

No matter. He reached for his quiver.

It was empty. Perfect.

With a muttered, “don’t shoot me yet,” he set down his bow…[Read more]

*panicking because I haven’t actually decided what exactly Ellis is*

*Pained laughter because this is too relatable*

The boy’s mother? That was more human then, more than Ari’s blood.

No, the Elder are only cursed.

“Your brother?” He shook his head. “I’ve seen you around. Saw him when you first came in…[Read more]

*brain screaming too* It’s been an adventure. A good thing, but we were definetely used to a slower pace.

“We write and speak in the language of the Elders. Taenga Sinear. This common tongue is beginning to be used among strangers, so I learned it a few years ago but we’ve spoken the Teanga as long as memory lives. Here.” He…[Read more]

Poor Ellis.

Ari

He spared the boy a glance, then reached up and tucked back the hair that covered his pointed ears.

“Not likely.”

The doctor here at the school had tried to sort him into some nice category or other when he’d first arrived. Ari shot off another arrow. It had been a year since he’d since he’d seen the…[Read more]

The flashbacks in the book are primarily going to be used to show who the characters he keeps mentioning were in life, and to explain the complicated situations that arose out of past politics between countries. My current plan for draft two is that the MC is “talking” to his dead friends, and appears a bit crazy–though to be clear, he…[Read more]

Thanks for the advice! I think finding the specific scenes I want before the flashbacks as you mentioned will really help. I really like the different varieties of flashbacks you mentioned. I believe most of the memories will be normal-er ones. The really traumatic scene happens at the very beginning of the book, so the readers have already seen…[Read more]

Hello, Lucy! My name is QuicksilverWyvern (though you can just call me Quicksilver or Wyvern, I don’t mind) and I like to write mostly epic fantasy with hints of other genres. I also have a ridiculous amount of other hobbies, though I’m definitely not equally great at all of them, lol! My dream job is to be an author and eventually a…[Read more]

@quicksilverwyvern

Flashbacks are useful literary devices. They can drop hints of mystery, clues to the story, or explain secrets.

Just have a good idea of how you’re using them in the book before you dive in. I don’t know how many times I’ve started writing something only to realize half-way through that it didn’t fit with the story. So, are…[Read more]

Ari

Fairy land? A strange turn of phrase, as if there was a definite destination, as if world’s didn’t simply overlap. Moons and wind and monstrous slimy creatures came to mind. His lips twitched.

In a placid voice he he addressed the arrow head in his hand.

“I don’t suppose fairies are so particular about who bakes the…[Read more]

@quicksilverwyvern

Ah! What a great question. Here are some thoughts:

What triggered the flash back? Memories usually have a trigger anyway, but because these are grief/trauma memories, those triggers are likely to be abrupt. They’re best if they’re comnected to the plot or character. For instance, I have a character who lost his sister at a…[Read more]
