*Puts in one earbud, presses play on music, and begins reading patiently*

I’m all for it.

*Chokes upon seeing half alive mentioned* yeeeeEEEESSSS!

hhhiiiiibyeeeeeee!

This is the way.

Um. Anyways…

Where am I again?

Yes! The Stormlight series is terrific period, and all the characters are done terrifically.

@deeprun

I might as well just recommend Elantris while here, because one of the main characters, Sarene, is also a great female character who avoids both cliches of D.I.D. and D.O.D. and is instead extensively conplex and…[Read more]

Also, Brandon Sanderson wrote my favorite (non-Bible) book of all time, Elantris. His work is absolutely amazing.

I’m trying to pursue it this way, haha!

And I see. Very interesting. Hope it goes well for you. 🙂

Mmm, probably. Might need to do that then. I’ve really just been winging it in my mind–like always, heh–and it’s worked out so far. I think. XD

Define “normal” singing; and why can’t you sing that way–if you don’t mind me asking.

And very true–the…[Read more]

I’m not big on genre, whether listening or writing. 😀

I just… write it, as it comes. Naturally. And hope it works out. “Write with a rhythm, sing with a tune.”

And that’s awesome! You have the part I lack the most–the gift of singing. XD

I don’t have the time to critique long chapters/stories, and I feel like most everyone else doesn’t have much either–hence it being so silent here.

So is there a way we could do critique trades–whether in pairs or in groups–on a…[Read more]

Suggestion of the moment: Skyward/Starsight by Brandon Sanderson

First of all… these books are drop-dead amazing. ESPECIALLY Skyward. Both tell their stories expertly (’cause it’s Sanderson), but Skyward has a better story to tell, imo.

The main…[Read more]

Overall, I think you did really well! My favorite is probably #2, though #4 gets my honorable mention. I think 2, 3, and 6 are all fine as they are, but:

Maybe put “Tonight” at the end of 1

Maybe use a semi-colon instead of a period for the middle of 4

Maybe replace “too” with ‘also’ in 5

And maybe try “One tomb had been left…[Read more]

All I do anymore is songwriting. I’ve finished one album so far, and I’m working on my second! I also wrote one separately–so I guess it’s a single? I’m still looking at ways to try and make them real songs, though.

“How the heck is this dude thread still alive?”

It is ours, after all…

And a whisper from me. Not much, but I don’t have much anyways. But perhaps this will help…

“Chase me,” said the butterfly

“Follow me into the sky.

“Trust me though the stars may lie,

“And I’ll sing you this lullaby.”

That is my helpful advice to add to all this.

Well, for two albums.

It’s like finding old friends again. :’) I feel ancient all of a sudden. Might have to write a(nother) song about this. XD

May I inquire as to why this cherry desires to slay our friends, the dragons?

Or, perhaps–may it be forbidden–are the dragons not your friends from where you and/or your cherry come from?

May I ask as to why you slay our friends the dragons, though it be so forward?

And I respect it. Definitely caught my attention. 😀

@evelyn Ah, my old friend. Just thinking of our past adventures makes me feel old and grizzled. XD How’ve you been?

@anne_the_noob14 Fair.…[Read more]

Fantasy? World(s)? *Whistles, laughs quietly, and exhales*

Yeah. Well. I did. I do. Sorta. It’s complicated.

But why the update tag, exactly? XD

And @anne_the_noob14. Happier is never annoying. Only emotional and awesome.

If I’m honest, I’m afraid Knaphollow might not wake up again from it’s current slumber…

Maybe if we poke it with a stick…?

I had no idea where to post this, so I’ll just return to this thread, if only briefly, to say: Yes, @w-o-holmes, indeed we are.

I must add that being tagged in someone’s update caught me radically off guard. XD

Knaphollow sure is quiet right now. But I thought I’d do a little and share something I just finished.

I’ve recently transitioned into writing song lyrics a lot, and have been working on making a concept album or two–sadly without music right now, though I am looking at ways to potentially do that too!…[Read more]

I am also introverted, like to write fantasy and have yet to finish a single book–in spite of having probably over a couple dozen projects and ideas. XD

SE is never short on friendly people whom you can be friends with. Just relax, explore, and…[Read more]

As for the story… I have nothing. I’m sorry.

I read most of your intro, and I must say, your Sandersonian and Nolan likes made me very happy. I do have to ask, though, what makes Words of Radiance stand above Oathbringer to you? I thought Oath was potentially…[Read more]

Also, for some reason, all I’m writing right now are songs. So… a song competition? *Laughs sheepishly* I don’t know, maybe it could be fun. Maybe Knapfollow will burn a forest down. Maybe we’ll all just sleep in and forget there ever was a…[Read more]

Fortunately, I have returned just as I have begun to write once again. But instead of the usual Very Short Stories and unfinished everythings, I’ve been working on SoNgS!

So yeah. It’s nice to be back in…[Read more]

Farewell, fourth child. You were as good as the rest, and undoubtedly cherished.
