@ariella-newheart – That’s a cool name! And I also love the name of your language.

Thank you! 🙂 Great job with your entry, by the way. This part was especially poignant to me:

And the thought of two people feeling alone when they were right next to each other was ridiculous.

@anne_the_noob14 – Your entry was both intense and chi…[Read more]

@elisha-starquill Thank you so much, that does help! I will be sure to let you know when I add the flashbacks. 😀

@steward-of-the-pen

I didn’t feel like the action punched me in the face because it didn’t start with the super intense action—it started with a smaller action (Ariella running away) that built up to the super intense action. (I think if you’d started with the dragon attack, that might have been a bit much.)

Really? That’s good to know. (And ye…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart – Glad you’re feeling better! By the way, what does Caedon’s name mean?

Caedon’s name means “white mountain” in Ali’Narae. 😀

@anne_the_noob14 That scene with Lucas disappearing was so sad!!

@steward-of-the-pen Oh my goodness, the Parimi Alca hall of fame!! It’s all of our past guild war entries! And yes,…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 @steward-of-the-pen I’ve been busy, too, but I think I’ll be able to write some more over Thanksgiving break. 😀

@cassie-hartfinh That’s dedication! *claps* I managed to get a few thousand in, too.

@j-a-penrose AGH, WELCOME BACK! We missed you!

@jane-maree BYEEE! Thanks for looking after us. 🙂

@naiya-dyani I’m afraid I can’t contribute much here because I’m not an INTJ. I find the conversation here interesting, though. What Daeus said about Kylo Ren being an INFP really caught me off guard because I wouldn’t have expected that. When it comes to movie characters who are INFPs, I believe Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon would be…[Read more]

@cassie-hartfinh Congratulations! That’s so exciting! I’ll sharpen my sword and my beta-reader senses and dive in. 😀

@wordsmith Ooh, I know the feeling. Having to set aside your writing for a while is painful but it’s often for the best. I wish you well in your endeavors!

SO! In celebration of those of you who are still writing… Pick one MC (or Side Character) you really love, and write a paragraph about him… outlining the things that you love about him…

@sageinthemeadow @catwing @deeprun

Great job with Inktober this year, guys! I unfortunately fell sick and had no time to draw the rest of the prompts, but I’m glad I was able to do some of them.

@catwing I like that pumpkin! As for reference pictures, I use them a lot. It prevents me from getting too frustrated when drawing complicated poses.…[Read more]

Good job, guys! I’m sorry I haven’t been around lately. I became dreadfully ill and had no appetite for writing. 😛 I managed to write a little something now, though. Do with it what you will.

Caedon followed Runawin down the hall. Even if he couldn’t go outside, he was still curious to see what other rooms the castle had. He only hoped…[Read more]

@elisha-starquill – What was your idea for a room?

The creature calmed slightly when Caedon spoke to it. Theseus knelt down and held out his hand. Caedon was content to let him take the lead on taming the wolf—for he saw that it was not a dog after all. “Shhh. It’s okay girl,” Theseus whispered. “Don’t worry, we’re friends. What should we…[Read more]

@jane-maree Definitely praying!

@wordsmith Precisely. *thumbs-up*

@anne_the_noob14 Thanks! That input is super helpful.

@jane-maree Yes, that does answer my question. Thank you so much! I’ll have to do a little editing to separate out the omniscient sections. 🙂

@r-m-archer @steward-of-the-pen Aw, thanks! I honestly didn’t expect that to happen. xD

@anne_the_noob14 @christlover Good job, guys! I did notice that both of you (I’m sure accidentally) referred to Racleva with her actual name instead of the fake one she provided. Other than that, it was perfect.

@christlover, I like how you portrayed Caedon! He would definitely stand up for Runawin to protect her.

Sorry that Theseus looked so bad…

@anne_the_noob14 Have all the candy you’d like. I brought enough for everyone. *grins*

@wordsmith Thank you for your observation about cohesion! I think that’s what’s been bugging me about this WIP. I still have a lot to learn about writing in third person, it seems. Now to decide whether to make this story omniscient or limited. I’ll have to…[Read more]

@quinn-ofallon Here’s what I found.

If it wasn’t for the full moon above, the sprawling pagoda-like building would cast the whole courtyard in shadow, dwarfing the barracks lined on either side of the walled Watcher precinct.

Change to:

dwarfing the barracks on either side of the walled Watcher precinct.
