@kathleenramm Yes Tolkien was an amazing author! My inspiration for writing style is partly from him but less ‘fancy wording’ if you get what I mean XD simpler English.
Aww yes Colin is such a good character for a positive character arc. His character lie is big, isn’t it? I suppose he’s very relatable; he may be a brat to begin with and a…[Read more]

@lewilliams I just looked up the Keeper of the Lost Cities series and it sounds really interesting. How are the characters? (I’m seriously considering ordering yet another book from the library lol)
That’s been happening a lot lately to me too recently. I used to stick up my nose to classics because I thought they were dull and…[Read more]

That’s interesting. It would be cool to look back through the book to find what exactly it was missing that made you unable to connect. That’s what I love to do when I read a book I don’t like. Pinpoint everything little thing that made me dislike it. It really helps me out with my writing.
Ooo, what book was the best book you’ve read…[Read more]

@joy-caroline well I’d suggest giving moments showing her praying and asking God to help her with forgiveness, and showing her conflict with her anger and her want to obey God’s will of forgiveness. Show her earnest desire to follow God’s word I suppose; show the moments of love she gives others when she has the chance, but then her unsurity of…[Read more]

Elfwing replied to the topic beta readers needed! in the forum Novel Critique Requests 4 years, 9 months ago
@godlyfantasy12 ok sounds like a good plan! 🙂
btw it is fantasy and is not an allegory any more than Lord of the Rings is. I instead strongly incorporate lessons like loyalty, honesty, and forgiveness in my stories. It doesn’t have ‘magic’ as in wizards, and witches and such things if that gives you a better idea. Some of the evil people…[Read more]

@joy-caroline As someone who generally likes antagonistic characters I like her a lot already! Kind of reminds me of Caleb Trask, one of my favorite characters in all of literature, who is supposed to symbolize Cain. I think as long as you portray all of your above ramble clearly, then you should have no problem getting your readers to like her!…[Read more]

@goldyfantasy12 @keilah-h
It has no language or sexual content (that is something I’m very strict about). It’s adventures of a sister and brother and their journies growing up and crossing the lands. It doesn’t have gory violence, but there are many battles. It’s no more violent than the LoTR. I wrote it for teens.
There’s no strict deadline :)…[Read more]

Hi y’all!! so, I’m looking for beta readers, as betrayed by the title.
I’m not sure if you like fantasy or not, but if you do then this is a good opportunity for it!! I do not have a strict dead-line, but I’d love some feedback by the end of the year to see if I need to make any major changes…
I’m gonna tag some people, and since I don’t know…[Read more]

Kaunon has been into a lot of scrape and survived by the skin of his teeth, the scares are from fire battles and a nasty sand dragon that tried to eat him and when that didn’t work it tried to crush him 😂

@godlyfantasy12 I don’t really have much to say, but I have a couple of movies to suggest for @gracie-j .
1) Knives Out. It’s a murder mystery that came out recently, I’d give it a strong PG-13 for language and stuff, but I really enjoyed watching it.
2)Â Batman Begins. Mm yes this one doesn’t have that much of a transition but it’s pretty g…[Read more]

Ohhh I love Secret Garden, it’s a lovely book! I should read it again! Who’s your favourite character? I love the robin redbreast.
Children of Hurin is worth the read when you have time! for most people i know who have said that it’s intimidating it’s usually the writing style; it’s like reading an old history textbook for fun.…[Read more]
