  • Accept your fear and cowardice!

    One million ways to break a human being, and all the pieces just never die. It’s amazing how much people can take and not die however much they wish they could. Something about staying alive is so human, no matter how much you hate life you’re just a little too scared to leave it…

  • Clack.

    Wood chips and flies.

    Clack.

    Sweat trickles down the nose.

    Clack.

    Hands are numb from hundreds of strokes.

    Clack.

    The remaining wood breaks and the limb falls. Caleb paused to catch his breath. The tree was almost delimbed now. Just a few more to go. Then he had to clean five more. Alex would collect the limbs for their fire.…[Read more]

    Simply put, Sherlock was not having a great day. After completing the trial, the detective stumbled out into a…house??? It was empty, showing signs of being burnt. It was…home??????? Sherlock started to wonder if he was going insane. This place was overrun and destroyed ages ago. It was destroyed by rebirths, creatures of darkness, after…[Read more]

    LOL, this is especially funny to me coz Ehud named it “Lord Castle” the first time he was in the Character Castle so like they both love randomly nicknaming 😂👌

     

    Ehud didn’t stop crying until a warm hand squeezed his shoulder. He just wanted to be held, or belong. And boys weren’t supposed to cry everybody made fun of him for being a cry…[Read more]

    Hey guys! This was super cool to be a part of but life is pretty crazy right now. I haven’t been/ won’t be very active on here. I’m really sorry to leave. I hope you guys are able to continue on!

    “I am King Miles Regulus of the Kingdom of Pietas.” He replied. “I have no idea how I got here, I was in the middle of attacking the city of Arx Gravicus when…I found myself here.

    “So tell me, how do we attack this thing that is forcing us to do stuff?” Miles said, a grin spreading on his face.

  • Cathy replied to the topic Character Castle 2.5 in the forum Fantasy Writers 4 years ago

    The newcomer assessed him without even trying to hide it. Fair enough, weren’t they all doing the same?

    “Who are you?” He asked and before Nathair could answer kept on. “What is this place? And what monstrosity?”

    The stranger had such an earnest, inquisitive gaze. Strange world; some of these people actually seem sincere and that’s a rarity.

    Na…[Read more]

  • I can definitely relate to getting busy… school has started up again (teacher here…) so I may slow down a bit too here and there….

    @mariahsummer4721

    Hey Mariah!

    From my reading and experience, 100k is a good average figure! I think the minimum is about 75k, but because it’s a fantasy it could easily go up to 150k, though that might be a bit harder to market.

    However, if you’re a little under or over that, it won’t make a whole lot of difference.

    I hope this helped!

  • @emily-waldorf

    It’s alright, we can just pull them out. Jade’s gotten as far as she’ll get outside her book, and same for Isaias.

    I’m glad I got to “meet” you and your characters. Keep being awesome yourself!

  • @this-is-not-an-alien

    Lol I just had to ask

    Miles stepped through the tunnel. When he came to the end he entered Into a large ish room with several people standing in it. One guy with silvery hair looked over at him and spoke:

    “Ah, we were just making an alliance to kill whatever monstrosity transported us here,” He said. “Would you be willi…[Read more]

  • Hi, everyone! Quick question, what is the average or ideal word count for a YA fantasy novel? I found conflicting information online (I guess it is somewhat subjective??) and want to know what benchmark or range to aim for with my current WIPs. Thanks in advance for your input!

  • @e-n-leonard sorry for dropping the interaction with Avin-Jade like a hot cake. Do you want to continue it? I saw that you wanted to take Jade out of the castle. I’d also like to remove Avin, so we can either finish the interaction, or just take them out.

  • @jared-williams

    LOL I love it, Frank and Bob…😂😂😂

    And I gotta admit, this is fun. Everyone just had to reveal their deepest regret, and then, BOOM, Saevus goes ballistic.

    Saevus pressed his attack forward aggressively. Lord Castle countered, but Saevus blasted at his defense, for wing him back.

    Suddenly a swarm of bugs of some sort came f…[Read more]

    Ehud’s words had been so kind, and his hand so warm and comforting. I really didn’t care about that man on the screen anymore. If I ever saw him again, I’d probably gut him in an instant, but…

    I never cared about what other people thought of me anyway, so why should this matter? So what if everyone knew now. Like Ami said… didn’t…[Read more]

  • Cathy replied to the topic Character Castle 2.5 in the forum Fantasy Writers 4 years ago

    Nathair had just finished speaking when another figure appeared behind them. Some sort of knight, obviously, and he had the air of a natural starstruck hero that would do anything for ideals. What a horrible mashup this was going to be, Nathair felt sure. But it could be worse, and inevitably would be.

    @e-n-leonard

    Right now I just do digital painting, so for now it’s Photoshop!  I used to do watercolors, but I stopped a year or two ago.  I think I might try them again sometime…

    Oils look intimidating, but acrylics scare me more XD

  • @calidris

    I use mostly watercolors but also acrylics. I have oils…but I might be a little terrified of using them 😂. I haven’t done a single oil painting. What do you use?

    Yes! The willingness to discuss and debate has been wonderful, and that it’s all from a place of faith makes it even better.
