Hi Brian! I’m so sorry I lost touch with you after hearing about your mom. I got caught up in things here at home and haven’t been able to get back on the forum, though that’s not a good excuse. I recently returned and saw that you recently posted to the ‘Friendly Debates’ thread. Thought I’d reach out here and ask…[Read more]

Oh I’ve looked at Audacity before! Thank you for telling me how to get those and how to edit well, I can’t wait to try it! (Although it may still take a bit with the getting a laptop and drivers’ ed XD). But now I have a good place to start and free is never bad :P! Thanks! <3

I just put in the following search string in YTube “Best Voice Recorder Apps For Android That Are Simple to Use”. The video has several options offer, but I would check to make sure the Apps listed are free to use.

*Walks in* Mind if one more joins the group? 🙂
@rose-colored-fancy That is such a good question! I love animal sidekicks too, coming of age, and enemy turned to friend.

Hi Michelle Rose! I’m Lily! Welcome to the Fantasy Writers forum. What’s your favorite fantasy book?

Whoops! Forgot to tag ya! @michelle

@imwritehere1920 Hi! Hmm that’s a tough one XD Right now I would have to say may favorite is The Eyes Of The Dragon. (but then again, my favorite book changes from week to week lol) What are some of your favs? Also I’m a little lost, what do we do on this forum? other than talk fantasy:)
-
-
Ooo, I’ve never heard of The Eyes of the Dragon. Sound fascinating. What’s it about?
I really like The False Prince series (J. Nielsen), Ranger’s Apprentice (the earlier books) and Medallion (D.L. Watkins.)
No problem! Actually, though I signed up for the Fantasy forum, I mostly jump over to the General Writing so…. I’m not…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920 How much time do you have? lol It is a YA fantasy novel. Whatever story you could possibly want is in Eyes of the Dragon. It has a dragon, an evil sorcerer, and two princes. The oldest one prince Peter who is the rightful king gets wrongfully accused for the murder of his father the king, gets imprisoned. And the other prince,…[Read more]

I have some time! *haha* Wow, that sounds cool! I’m not a fan of horror (never had the stomach for that stuff.) I think I read the ‘Tell-tale Heart’ by Poe in highschool literature. I say ‘I think’ because I don’t remember it. When my younger sister read it, she told me about it (and my mom said I also read it.) It sounded…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920 Yes do try it! it is not bloody or scary. it reads like a children’s fairy tale. Honestly I couldn’t even believe Stephen King could write something like that lolXD
Oh girl I’m reading the book right now as we speak(just started reading it once you told me about it)
I’m going to try to traditional publish it first and see how…[Read more]

Oh that’s cool that your sister is publishing too! Does she do children’s or YA (and is she seeking traditional publishing?)

Lately I have been…[Read more]

Awesome! I look forward to reading your work.
*pulls up a new tab too*Oh yeah, that’d be great! I’m thinking of maybe posting the first chapter on the forum to see what other people say. We’ll see how this editing goes first 🙂

We used to have an artificial tree that we’d assemble each year (actually, it was a lot of fun putting it together; we’d do it while listening to music) and decorate it with our favorite ornaments (we’d get to pick a new one each year).

We moved to the country awhile back, but when we lived in the city, we’d often hear neighbor ‘practicing’ with fireworks before the fourth too; or they’d do it late into the night when all other fireworks were supposed to be over. Of course we don’t need sleep! XD)

I will definitely be praying for you. God sees you and knows what you are going through, and I know He will strengthen and guide you as you seek Him. Pour yourself into His Word and you’ll find His comfort.
May He pour out His loving kindness and joy onto you and your family.

Hi Brian! Merry Christmas!
I pray that God will fill your holiday with His peace and comfort; and bless it richly with His love.
Blessings to you and your family!

Thank you for your thoughts and blessings too! (also, Happy New Year! I’ve been praying that God will strengthen you in His Word and give you wisdom to know His Will.)
How has your writing been going? I was wondering what publisher you’re working with.
Thank you, Lily! My publisher is WestBow Press (a division of Thomas Nelson). I am currently in the edits and deep into the revisions. Sometimes it goes very slow, but it is still moving forward. How is your writing going? Do you have a publisher yet or a plan on the route you want to take?
Happy New Year too! 🙂
@obrian-of-the-surface-world
I’ve heard of WestBow; they help you independently publish your stories, if I remember correctly?
I’m glad to hear that the edits and revisions are moving forward (sometimes my revisions feel like they’re taking forever too.) How are you enjoying WestBow? Is it a good company to work with?
My writing is going well;…[Read more]
Congratulations on the publication of “An Apprentice Escapes”!
I am so proud of you for getting your work out there! Is your next book a sequel or a stand-alone story? Do you have a synopsis for the new book?

HI Lily,
Sorry it has been a while before I responded.
My idea really comes from a spiritual ache to address something that I see lacking in fiction and especially faith-based fiction.
Many people gravitate to a particular thematic point to illustrate with their story, which is fine, but one thing I saw lacking was the importance of knowing Jesus,…[Read more]

Hi Lily,
My week has been busy at work and finding time to write is tough, but I am still pressing through. How was your week?
“Is Atheism Dead?” was a good book. It addresses the discoveries in science and biblical archaeology and some of the later under-reported regrets and conversions of prominent “atheists” who came to find faith in Christ.…[Read more]

Brian, I’m so sorry to hear about your uncle! May I ask if you know what happened? When is the funeral scheduled?
That’s wonderful, though that he knew the Lord. How is your aunt? And how can we be praying for you this week?
Thank you for the link. I checked it out. Hobbiton is so beautiful! I couldn’t quite tell…[Read more]
Thank you, Lily. He had leukemia and was sent home on hospice. He wasn’t expected to pass so soon, though. The funeral is on Monday at 10 am CST. It is a 4 1/2 hour drive so we have to leave tomorrow.
