Arindown (Gracie)

@literatureforthelight *waves* Hey, have we met? I’m just curious, because I happen to be a Grace also, so I kinda got a soft spot for them.😁

@kayla-skywriter

This is a great question.

What I did was to start a novel that I viewed as “less important”…to just kinda get some experience. I need to get an idea of how writing a novel works, and…[Read more]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Scouring of the Shire. That is a good part. Even if the movie had just kept part of it…😉 Yeah, I hope people would appreciate dear old Frodo more (apparently Frodo and I have the same personality, so I think I “get” him a bit more than other people).

Have you read any of Tolkien’s other Middle Earth…[Read more]

Would you rather forget who you are every time it rains, or never be able to remember why you walked into a room?

Enan: *looks serious* I’ve never forgetting who I am again. I’ll take any other option.

Ella: We can’t all pick the same one. I’d forget who I was every time it rained. *grins at…[Read more]

@Dakota Thanks for the tag!

Would you rather lose your vision or your hearing? 

Erik: “Vision, obviously. Even if you’re in the dark you can tell what’s going on, or who’s sneaking up behind you.”

Ky: “I’d lose my vision.”

Laurel: “Vision as in seeing? Or as in your hopes?”

New Question 2 – Would you rather always say everything on your mi…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Ahh…those are some good moments. My favorites have to include Gandalf and the Bullrog, Aragorn and Legolas’s argument in Helm’s Deep, every scene with the Rohirrim in it (the horses😄), and Boromir’s death (not because of Boromir…because of how awesome Aragorn is).

I’m afraid (or rather, proud) I’m on the Frodo fan side of things.…[Read more]

@lydiajoy

Wow! Your story sounds absolutely amazing! Epic fantasy, princesses and farm kids, it sounds just like something I would love to read.

And yeah…my first chapters don’t really make sense either, but I figure that’s part of story writing.😄

Favorite books? The Wingfeather Saga is the best, but I also love Little Women, Anne of Gre…[Read more]

@lydiajoy

Just popping in to say hi *waves*

I’m wondering what you’re WIP is about? What genre is your favorite?

Currently I’m writing a Young Adult fantasy novel (I’m on Chapter 32 or something…) about a wizard who hates wizardry, an angry prince, and (one of my favorites) a horse named Bruce, and what brings them all together toward a…[Read more]

There had to be a back door.

He was tired of running, and yet so afraid.

What inspires me to write?

Writing, for me, I think boils down to two things. 1. Sharing the desperate beauty of this fallen world. And 2. the recognition of my place as a character in God’s master-piece story.

Inspiration is something that’s hard to pin down, but I think it usually goes back to something beautiful I see. The last ray of…[Read more]

He slumped against the wall, holding his wounded wrist against his chest.

Rain lashed through the broken hole in the window pane, puddling on the rough, wooden floor.

But the only thing worse than being alone was being cold, wet, and alone.

Lighting roared, a blinding flash of white, splitting a lusty pine down the core.

@mischievous-thwapling @lonathecat

This is such a good topic.

I think my favorite relationships are specific to the story…but they do have several things in common. Most of them are entered around family. I think the reason I love writing parent-kid or sibling relationships is because of how important family is to me. My siblings are where I…[Read more]

Loneliness was a thing to be reckoned with.
