@quinn-ofallon No problem! I can’t do it tonight, but I’ll try tomorrow. 🙂

Do you ride horses? My sister does, too.

@quinn-ofallon You’re welcome! If it would make it any easier, I can read it over again and tell you the typos I found.

@quinn-ofallon I just read the first chapter! It’s a good beginning to the story. Right off you have me intrigued about the Moonwatchers and the heretics. Roshni is a strong, well-developed character. I noticed a few small typos, but that’s about all. Your writing style is good and I am impressed by the worldbuilding. Additionally, the use of…[Read more]

Inktober Day 15: “Legend”

Just a quick sketch this time. I’m pleased with how it turned out overall.

@deeprun Ooh, your sunset is magnificent! I agree, sunsets are really fun. I don’t recall if I’ve ever done a sunset in watercolor before, but I have used colored pencils. I also love the mist on the mountains in your picture. 🙂 Harz is a cool name, by the way. He seems like a really interesting character.

@anne_the_noob14 Ooh, nice drawing! That is how I imagined the layout of the hall.

@christlover It’s perfectly okay if you changed the setup of the hall. The castle is very flexible (literally). It may appear different in the eyes of different characters. The goal of this topic is to help you get to know your characters by writing with them. If…[Read more]

Aah, here is. 🙂 @wordsmith

Caedon cast one more look across the landscape. The early mists of morning rose from the ground and coiled around the shattered stones. But there was something more. Caedon’s eyes narrowed. In the misty shadows stood a tall figure in a black cloak. Caedon rubbed his eyes and looked again. The figure was moving deeper i…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 @wordsmith You know what something unexpected is? Accidentally pressing the wrong button and refreshing your Story Embers page so that it deletes your current post. I never see it coming.

Anyway, I’m not even going to attempt to understand all that. *gestures vaguely at the philosophical jargon in the preceding posts* I’m afraid…[Read more]

Inktober Day 14: “Overgrown”

@catwing Wow, what a story! That’s a really unique take on the prompt and I love it.

@sageinthemeadow Those are lovely! The dragon looks like it’s lurking in the deepest, darkest part of the sea.

@deeprun Aw, thank you so much. I like your “Winter” drawing. (The snowball looks like it’s about to hit that one guy’s head. What’s his name?)

@wordsmith Hey, welcome back! 😀

I’m working on a new story idea right now, actually. This time around I’m using third person, and it’s going surprisingly well. I’ll try to post something tomorrow.

@anne_the_noob14 It understand completely. That makes Lucas’ character even more interesting to me. ISTJs are awesome, by the way!

@christlover ENTPs are cool too! And you’re welcome. 🙂 @steward-of-the-pen gave me the idea of making a character chat and I just ran with it. xD

@christlover No, there’s no limit. 😀 Bringing one character in now and some others later is a good idea.

Theseus sounds like a cool character! I don’t think you neglected to describe anything about him…except maybe his personality type. Do you happen to know it? Reading his bio I would guess ESTP. 🙂

I like your entry with Theseus! The way…[Read more]

Inktober Day 13: “Ash”

@writercatherine I just realized I never replied to your question!

Are you looking into publishing the series (or is some of it already published)?

I am looking into self-publishing this series. Next summer seems to be the best time for me to do it, but I still have a lot of research to do. I do have some friends who have self-published, so they…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 The Castle Glower series, you say? That sounds interesting. I may have to look it up. Ooh, good description for Lucas. I like all the details you added.

Don’t worry! You didn’t mess up Caedon! I love Lucas’ observations about Caedon’s stance and how he treats strangers with respect. That’s perfect. And his reaction to the…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 Oh yeah, Hobby Lobby has a lot of good fabrics. JoAnn’s has a nice selection, too.

And don’t forget to submit your word counts, Parimis! I’m not including the amount I wrote for the Character Castle (since I’m not sure if it’s against the rules or not) but I wrote a lot this week! (Plus I figured out Caedon’s character.)

GO PARIMI ALCA!!

@steward-of-the-pen Your characters are mostly animals, right? I think it would be cool to see one of them. Caedon comes from a world with talking animals (*cough*), so he won’t be entirely out of his comfort zone.

This is Ariella Newheart reporting in for Parimi Alca! I wrote a decent amount. 🙂 (Though I didn’t include my character chat posts because I still don’t know if it’s against the rules.)
