I’m just throwing this out there because I really don’t support the real NaNo organization so this year I am joining a writing group called the Glory Writers for NaNo. I am pretty sure they have a website run by two really fun Christian girls (Victoria and Livy) where you can probably find a link to join their “Cabin”. They are also…[Read more]

@calidris

First off…wow. Just wow.

You pretty much just sold me on whatever books you are ever going to write. XD Like, the pain? Ahh. I do not regularly fall in love with other people’s characters but I NEED Sebastien and Dr. Corvo and Baassilll. *pleading face*

And then Kit and Val. *heart eyes* What even??? Kit seeing Alastor for who he…[Read more]

@kayla13892

Heeyyyloo! *waves!

I know I’m a little late to the conversation, but I just wanted to say hi anyway and tell you that you are not alone. XD

I am NOT an outliner at all. I prefer to just jump in and see where the story takes me. I have not officially finished a manuscript, but I have over 80k on one and I’m planning to finish it. I…[Read more]

@ethan-leonard

Sorry I’m a little late to the discussion.

I wrote a short piece lately about a female sergeant and I ran into some of the same questions you are asking.

First, there is a Christian author, Ronnie Kendig, who writes action-packed military thriller type books. If you want a good read and want to see how another Christian handles…[Read more]

@calidris Ohh, I shall keep an eye out for Manwë when I get around to that book. I’m in the middle of a Lord of the Rings reread, so I’m not ready yet.

I got in digital art about a year ago, and I really like it. You probably saw some of it on my Instagram.😝  I also really love charcoals. What style do you like best?

@noah-cochran somehow it didn’t tag you.😄. Have you read any James Fenimore Cooper? I think you would really like his stuff.

@rose-colored-fancy I think this thread is a terrific idea!

I haven’t been reading too much lately, unless you count school textbooks. I’ve learned a ton from my Western Culture textbook so far (about how to world-build and stuff), but…😆

I’ve slowly been working through a re-read of Lord of the Rings. I’ll give them a 6/5 stars.🤩

One thing…[Read more]

@lrc

I haven’t the time, nor the current mental capacity to actually duel you on this one, but my opinion is that writing is like life…you never stop growing, and you never stop learning from those greater than you.

As a writer, you can study writing theory all you want, but it’s reading that keeps your story-soul growing. I think it’d be a…[Read more]

@kylie-wingfeather

I’m not very active on SE right now, but I’m here to be supportive of this thread.😆

Here’s a few questions to start a discussion:

If you had to go on adventure with one character from each series, who would you bring?

I would probably bring Jo and Rudric. We’d be unstoppable.😂

Who cried at the end of both…[Read more]

@calidris

*internally screaming* They are SOOO cute! And that lighting…😍

That was a terrible way to introduce myself, but I’m an artist and your drawings are gorgeous. I have not read the Silmarillion yet (my sister is hogging it), but you made Manwë so cute. Good job.

@sparrowhawke

I don’t really have much advice.😄. I’m a panster, so I have a lot of random stuff all over the place. I have a computer folder for each of my WIP’s, and ones for characters, author stuff and reference photos, but other than that, it’s usually all in my head.

One thing I’ve found is that if I don’t keep it, or I don’t remember it,…[Read more]

@joelle-stone I’m am definitely hoping to. Still working through my millions of story ideas through.😂
