Chalice

@the-fledgling-artist, Actually, I do have a couple more questions. 🙂

When I originally sketched this out I drew a female warrior, (mostly because women are easier for me to draw from my head) but I’m wondering if it would be better to have a male warrior. What do you think?

Also, in the background of the battlefield I have some the sun rising…[Read more]

@r-j-karas, That’s a cool idea. I’ll have to keep that in mind.

Oh, now that I’ve looked at it, I think I have heard of Enclave publishing. I’ve read about a lot of books that they’ve published, but I don’t think I’ve read any. Have you? And if so did you like them?

Haha, I don’t mind being on your list for possible future beta readers. 🙂 Not…[Read more]

Thank you guys, @the-fledgling-artist, @moonink, @christieaton, @writerforever! 🙂

All your ideas will help a lot! I’ll definitely keep praying about it and be busy doing sketches. (I hadn’t thought about doing thumbnail sketches. *smacks forehead* Thanks for the reminder!) 🙂

@the-fledgling-artist, will be praying for you, that you would be assured, and have peace in whatever God’s will for you is, and be comforted by God’s truth and grace. ♥

@r-j-karas, Wow, thank you for sharing your story with us! I almost cried reading it. 🙂

Here are my thoughts, take them or leave them: I feel like the time between when he becomes a merman and when he goes back to the shore is too brief. Like I didn’t get to see what he was really feeling during that time. Maybe there should have been more inner…[Read more]

@eden-anderson, Hey, sorry I kept forgetting to respond to your question. Yes, we have a pretty big family, I have ten siblings. How many do you have? No we weren’t all named for the meaning, but I still think my name has a cool meaning. (My full name is Chalice Anastacia, which means Resurrection cup. 🙂 ) Your name has an awesome meaning!

I…[Read more]

One of my biggest influences when I was really getting into realistic drawing was Lee Hammond. I still have quite a few of her books and they helped me so much! There are so many other artists that I look up to, though. One of my favorite digital artists is Austin DeGroot. He has some amazing tradition artwork as well, but he really inspired me to…[Read more]

@eden-anderson, That’s a beautiful name! That’s also cool that both of your names are Hebrew. I have a few younger siblings with Hebrew names. 🙂 I’m just curious, we’re you named for the meaning of your names?

@r-j-karas, I just have to say, your story sounds intriguing! I’ve never completely  finished any of my stories so I always look up to…[Read more]

@theinconceivable1, *waves from window*

I’ve been on here about three months, but I haven’t been as active as I would like, though. Are you in a guild yet?

@eden-anderson, Ted Dekker is one of my favorite authors. Except for his stuff that I don’t like.

Oh, good. For instance I’ve seen and really like the LOTR movies, but haven’t had the patience to read the books. 😛 And movies like North and South, Lorna Doone, and the Jane Austen movies.

Oh, thank you! 🙂 My sister took the picture. I’m not w…[Read more]

@theinconceivable1, I do not mean to pry, but you don’t by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand?

(I’m really late to this thread, but I’m trying to get better at meeting people on the forum. 🙂 )

@eden-anderson, I was actually biting my nails as I read your last comment. *smacks head* I’ve also done my fair share of weird and slightly embarrassing things. I think it would be awesome for you to learn bagpipes!

Some of my favorite books are “Water Walker” and “Blink”, by Ted Dekker, “Piercing the Darkness”, by Frank Peretti, and… I don’t…[Read more]

@rosemarylouise, a little late to this, sorry! I just read through your story and I had to say that I really enjoyed it. It drew me in right away and kept me interested up till the end. (Which I’ve realized is very rare when I’m reading most short stories (I’m not sure why), so good job!) There were a couple extra long sentences that I got a…[Read more]

@ethryndal, I am currently stuck in a scene and I think this might help. 🙂 Some times I get stuck in a scene because I’m just writing the things happening, without the POV character’s thoughts on what’s happening. That might be an amateur problem though. 🙂

@eden-anderson, Hi Eden! 🙂 Welcome to New Wessex, and welcome to the family ;).

I’m also an ENFP-T! *High fives* Your WIP sounds interesting. I’ve never read Robin Hood, but who wouldn’t love a combination of the Scarlet Pimpernel and Aragorn? Have you ever read “The Anatomy of Story”, by John Truby? I’m still working through it, but it really…[Read more]

(I accidentally deleted my comment, so I’m re-posting. Sorry if it shows up twice.)

I push open the heavy doors and enter the large hall.

“Hello darkness, my old friend.” I sing the words before my eyes adjust to the dark.

Ohhh… there’s people in here. I feel like I’ve disturbed a solemn gathering.

“Sorry!” I whisper. There’s a lot of unfamil…[Read more]

@noahlitle, and everyone else who helped, you guys did an amazing job. Win or lose, I’m proud to stand with the Saxon Scribes. *Wipes a tear*

Yay, @noahlitle!

*cheers for @r-j-karas too.* I did notice that if you didn’t know it was a fish, you wouldn’t know it was a fish until you got pretty far into the story. Yay for another short story in your repertoire! 🙂

@everyone-else, Alright guys. Five more days. Let’s push ourselves to the best of our abilities and make this amazing!
