Yep, I’m planning on adding a bit more to the origin of the magic in this story, but thanks!
Actually, how about the Holy Spirit? God promised that it would be within us once we became Christian. Do you think that that works?

Yes, most say that I’m pretty smart for my age. O_O
I’m still in the double digits though, if that’s what you were thinking ha… -

Well, I’m actually younger than that, but I get what you’re saying I think.

Hey guys! Just as a new thought, I wanted to say something.
I think this story can be a bit more allegory-like. I’m definitely planning on writing more if I can finish this one. Anyways, I think that the different “bad guys” throughout the series can represent different challenges and enemies we as Christians face today since the Wielders do…[Read more]

Okay, in regards to @catwing ‘s questions,
I changed some things. The power isn’t expressly forbidden, but you can’t really have it in “full power” until you choose to accept the role. (Christians / Christ)On the other hand, many would rather selfishly serve themselves or even the Devil himself and harvest the same power but on an opposite…[Read more]

Also, do you think I should add some romance to the story? The Mymar twins aren’t really young in the beginning unlike the start to the Harry Potter stories. I think that they would already be older than 16 or even higher. But I’m making it a point in the stories that they look younger than they should for some reason.
Anyways, I’ve ALSO read up…[Read more]

Hm… @daeus, I considered that and it didn’t seem as strange in my opinion. Satan himself used to be one of God’s chief angels so I don’t think that it’s far off that he could be using the same form of power for nefarious uses.
Other than that, would it make more sense that “magic” in this story is more like a power made by God and used by the…[Read more]

Joseph Darkgrate replied to the topic My New Fantasy Book Idea and Endeavor in the forum Fantasy 7 years, 1 month ago
Okay, so first. I’ve considered the storyline I’ve been making, and the concept of making an allegory, so I thought I’d just drop the act and admit that it’s more of an allegory than anything else.
So… I’ve made a few changes to explain things better and to fit the Bible more!
1. “magic” in this story is really God’s power. But when others…[Read more]

Hey guys, thanks for all the opinions! I can’t really reply to all of them today so I’m going to try my best to say as much as I can tomorrow. Anyways, thanks for all the advice and I can’t wait to show you some edits I’ve made.

Does this sound good:
The “Mymar twins” ?Malachi Mymar (the boy)
Mikayla Mymar (the girl)Xavier Daire (the cynical grumpy guy)
Korianna Indigo (the other girl)
Garret Shaw (the villain himself)
Arthur Abbot (the villain’s son)
Tabbart Hale (that evil mastermind)
opinions? These are just what I can come up with at this point…

Okay never mind. There’s people who got published at 12 and even 6 so I guess we should be fine.

Hey guys! I just recently had an idea for a fantasy book. So, I have been reading up on fantasy clichés and other things about how to write a fresh and new story for an otherwise overused story.
I haven’t started writing yet, as I don’t want to rush in and make so many story mistakes that I have to start over later. So I’m using this time to…[Read more]

Hey guys, thanks for the prayer! So, I just thought I’d drop by again and update you guys on everything.
I did sort of well in Chinese class, (which means I survived), and I’m currently working hard to improve as this is two grades above what I did last year. I’m also the only guy in the class of six other girls. Including the teacher. So… I’m…[Read more]

Hey guys, I have a quick question. If I completed any of my book ideas and want to publish it, would certain publishers possibly refuse in my case? (I’m actually younger than all of you guys)
Do some publishers only publish authors older than just a teen or others close to that age? Because I was thinking about writing my first novel and I’m not…[Read more]

Joseph Darkgrate replied to the topic Cover Art help? in the forum Publishing & Platform 7 years, 1 month ago
I made my own book cover using that website, @Aislinn-Mollisong.
The watermarks are so inconvenient…
I can’t even find a way to post it…
Nice cover though! -

Okay, I just read the portion on this page.
Here’s what I think.
1. It’s pretty good, it doesn’t really feel original in the sense that I’ve read stuff that sounds pretty similar and I’m sure others have too, but I think that it was written pretty well with all that detail.
2. Personally, I enjoy it more when the character “moves around” first.…[Read more]

Okay, in regards to the two moons thing, I haven’t read too many books with that setting so I’m fine with it. But what I think would be REALLY interesting is for you to only have one moon, but in that book where two are needed, something happens to make or cause a second to appear. Evoking a sense of surprise, wonder, and not-so-cliché-ness.…[Read more]
