Literally me every single second of my writing life. XD

Unbelievable confidence or overwhelming self-doubt? How about both!? XD

We’re terrible XD

“Leaghadh,” Rúan corrected with a quirk of his lips. “It is hard to pronounce if you are not raised with the Kindran language. It took me while to master it.”

Certainly it was. I had no idea where to begin on it and spelling it would be an entire seperate nightmare.

He sheathed his sword, thank goodness.

Ruan’s story is so tangible and it makes me want to give him a big hug lol.

He’d probably kill me, but that’s okay. I would die for a good cause. XD

(Ahw, I’m glad you feel that way!)
(Of course, Rúan probably doesn’t, and you’re probably right, but it still makes me happy 😊)

I don’t know if this means I’m not original enough to think of anything else or that I completely nailed natural character development on that plot XD It could be either. It could be both.

Literally me every single second of my writing life. XD

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is absolutely hilarious!!!! Glad to be of assistance. XD

@rose-colored-fancy

LOL, I absolutely LOVE how this ‘plot’ is accidentally transforming into the exact plot I have planned for Aydin in the third book. The character development is so similar it’s actually hilarious at this point. I’m practically using it as a character arc first draft XD

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is absolutely hilarious!!!! Glad to…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

Ooooh I like this plan! Just be warned that Niarok will probably find some epic way to make Ayden not find himself worthless, and if he doesn’t, I’m going to be disappointed in my character development… Jk lol I get so in Niarok’s head that when he can’t fix something it makes me feel guilty…

LOL, I absolutely LOVE how this…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

So, I propose, Niarok can offer, Aydin will probably accept, but he’s still very much stuck in the “I have to do everything right or I’m worthless,” attitude so it’ll probably… backfire XD BUT we get the fun of the characters interacting! What do you think?

Ooooh I like this plan! Just be warned that Niarok will probably fi…[Read more]

I don’t know Rúan that well yet, sorry 🙂 If someone does something out of character it’s a rule you can go back and rewrite if you want.

(Ohhh, okay — thank you for letting me know)

@denali-christianson

AAAHHHHHH SO TRUEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s how I feel about weapons…

EXACTLY!! That was mostly me venting because our HEMA training is cancelled for at least a month and I miss it so much 😭😭

Okay, so here’s just a thought, and we totally don’t have to do this, but I’m thinking it would be cool if once N…

I missed fighting. I hated killing but fighting was glorious, even if it was just a friendly round of practice. The rush when the swords clashed and the thrill of finally besting your opponent, I even missed the way my muscles protested and the weight of the sword dragging at me.

AAAHHHHHH SO…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

thats a great one!

I may choose to answer your second question before the first.
Many Christian authors and readers will rush to say “no!”
I would agree with them, but I shall give more of a theory and a solid logical argument, and not just sentiment.

From a biblical standpoint, I see no place for cussing in Christian lifestyle, let…[Read more]

@mamaauthoress

(Just saying, shrugging is not too in-character for Rúan  )

I don’t know Rúan that well yet, sorry 🙂 If someone does something out of character it’s a rule you can go back and rewrite if you want.

(Ah, don’t worry, Rúan’s almost always got a sword)

I thought so. 😉 Aydin only has a knife for now because of plot reasons…[Read more]

I have a whole list of “worldview questions” that would make great debate topics, but here are a couple interesting ones:

How does/should one decide what is acceptable to read or watch?

Is cussing acceptable and/or beneficial in fiction?

Now he looked dubious, but then shrugged, as if he didn’t care either way. Drat. I’d been hoping I could dodge that question.

(Just saying, shrugging is not too in-character for Rúan 🙂)

I’m just assuming he has a sword XD I have no idea XD

(Ah, don’t worry, Rúan’s almost always got a sword)

@denali-christianson

Yeah…

Well, I think he’s less believable, less likeable, and less of a character. So, all around generally worse? LOL. You said something dangerous back there, though; someday I might take you up on your wish to read Quin’s canon story…when I get it done, lol. I’m only 16K into it so far, but, yeah. Have you started…[Read more]

“I have two daughters, a son, and the last time I saw my wife, we were expecting another.” Nithel said. Four children…how long had he been married? Alessio was trying to do the math because it was easier to process than his feelings. “My elder daughter is about your age.”

Mathematical gesticulations froze his mind.

Nithel said it like Alessio…[Read more]

Aydin

Thank goodness Niarok hadn’t seen me flinch when he clapped me on the shoulder. I hated being touched and more specifically, I hated being touched unexpectedly. I had turned away almost instantly, but he had been too tired to notice. At least I didn’t have to explain.

I also knew I had made a severe mistake by bringing up that story to s…[Read more]
