(ohmygoodness have you seen Tinker Bell The Pirate Fairy??? She does that exact same thing with the water and that’s exactly what is going through my mind)

She saw Kallun splash into the water as she went down and tried her best to swim up. Ha! She was going somewhere, but something caught her eye. Something…[Read more]

Okay, so I’m going to try something I’ve never tried before:

Literally throwing my characters into the room. 😁

I always try to do something subtle and seamless when introducing my characters, but NO MORE *swipes arm around*

*knocks over the table lamp*

*is unaware of the fire that started*

😐

As evidenced, I am strange.

For a moment he couldn’t see anything. Then, gradually, his eyes cleared. He was standing in a library. Or, it ought to have been a library. But it was very small and dusty compared to the ones he was used to.

There weren’t libraries in Cuth, where my parents still live.

He wished he had more spare coins to send them. He shook himself,…[Read more]

XD The fourth wall is made to be broken! I wonder how the term “fourth wall” came around.

Oohhh, I actually know this! It comes from plays. Whenever characters were in a room, it was open on one side so the audience could see them. However, the characters only “see” the fourth wall of the room, which separates the audience from the cha…[Read more]

Thank you for the great advice! It definitely helped. The most common themes and words I have noticed so far are dawn, knights, hope, and champions.

A few ideas I thought of so far: The Rising of Valor, The Fight for Hope, From Desolation to Hope, The Call for the Valiant, The Valiant Few, and The…[Read more]

Brown hair and olive eyes.

His gift is that of an Empath, which means that he can feel others’ emotions. He’s still in training, so he hasn’t quite mastered it yet. (He’s still confused about what emotions he feels, and it’s hard for him to keep from being overwhelmed, b/c people are feeling things all the…[Read more]

No, not too critical. Thank you for your considerate reply! I think your story themes sounds great! It reminds me a lot of Pilgrim’s Progress. The parallels are very easy to see, and it sounds like a really interesting story.

@jared-williams

Hey Jared!

Its an interesting idea, and the skeleton of the story is great. I think something you would need to ponder, however, is the biblical themes you portray. Now I know no novel, written by a Christian or not, is imperfect, but it would do Christian authors well to portray biblical truth as best they can.

Now maybe you…[Read more]

XD Though I wouldn’t be surprised if Ophelia has a cat in her bag…@rose-colored-fancy?

Hehe. Nice question.

My high fantasy has a lot of normal creatures you’d find here on earth, but also plenty of new fantasy creatures. The legendary ones are called the creatures of Myf, and they are pretty spectacular. I’ve only created a few of them so far, however.

Saliero (name derived from the latin word for frog – Salientia) – also known…[Read more]

Oh no! It didn’t post correctly. Let me try again.

I, the Psalter

Rolling peaks in the bleak void,

Dizzying repetition of the mind it toyed.

In soaking misery of the waters endless rush,

The heart heaves a futile hope lost in the hush.

Eternal feelings envelop the waters falling,

Lost to the vastness of the failed…[Read more]

Hope this works.

“It smells good.”

I turned in surprise. Hanniumm was on his feet, leaning up against one of the chairs.

I dropped the stirring stick and rushed to his side. “Hanniumm! How are y…[Read more]
