A huge welcome to you four, and I’m so excited to have you join us. (Also–Jacob, I’m pizza ninja on the oyan forum.) Adding new members doesn’t normally happen, but since we had a couple extras and…[Read more]

@faith_blum

Sure you can! As long as it includes the elements I was talking about, then that’s totally fine. 😀

@parker

Aahh, very nice. You did a great job at the indirect thoughts.

A little note–that last line slipped out of it a bit, and I couldn’t get into the story quite as much. More indirect thoughts could help with that too. 😉

Wow, hi everyone! @josiah @jane-maree @faith_blum @annamarieoriginal

😊 Besides the Bible, I use Wikipedia sometimes, read a little bit of Josephus’ Antiquities Of The Jews, and mainly do research on how they lived, worked and loved back in the day. Its a task, I can tell you that!

My inspiration was just an idea that struck me during my…[Read more]

Welcome, Ella!!! Ooh His Fic? That’s really cool. @Faith_Blum writes that too. 😉

Okay guys! I went through the doc and did some editing. I cut down the word count a bit, but I think it’s still just as impactful that way. I’ve left my…[Read more]

Hi! I thought I’d also give this a try…feel free to comment on the doc. I also like Fran’s work, so this is sort of like a backup plan. If anyone is…[Read more]

@faith_blum

Wow, I’m not sure if I’ll be much help, but I can try.

What sort of attention is it that they’re wanting? Like…should they organise a feast with musicians and stuff? Or is it meant to be more…personal? (Wow, you can tell I’m totally clueless in HisFic can’t you? xD)

@faith_blum I love that excerpt!

I also found it interesting what you said about how the author being a man affects his prose. I’m really interested in how men and women speak and write differently, (especially because I have a male POV character in my WIP). Usually I find male authors write in a more choppy, straightforward style (though there…[Read more]

@faith_blum

YAAAY. *throws confetti*

@faith_blum

Woot! Good job! 😀

@parker

Nice! Have you read LotR? It’s fairly long-descriptively-inclined.

@caleb-e-king

And what’s your favourite part about the prose in those books?

@faith_blum

Ooh very nice. Fitting with the setting and period of the novel is definitely important for the prose of any novel.

Okay, we’ve got to decide on the story now, so we can write it and edit it in time to submit it next week. Let’s take a vote between our current two options.

1: Villain death.

2: Immortal watching another loved one die

Feel free to give details on why you pick the one you pick and toss out more brainstorming ideas for either one. WE’RE GOING…[Read more]

@thewirelessblade
@faith_blum

You both have a very good point that we do have to consider.

What if we were thinking about the villain in that the reader wouldn’t know he was the villain until the hero kills him. So they get to see how he’s just been manipulated/twisted/scarred into this character he is now. They see how he’s fighting for…[Read more]

Alright! Yes! Villain! I say we go with the villain death. Yes? No? @parker @jane-maree @professorsjb @theswordinthebook @caleb-e-king @thewirelessblade @fctait @faith_blum @esther-sears @writerpiper
