I was just randomly thinking about how much my character Gavril would like Lorcan XD I don’t know why, I just think they’d have a glorious time talking about swords and stuff XD He’s nice enough to allow Lorcan’s ego to remain unscathed and I think they’d actually get along really well.

And I know what you’re thinking bu…

Mayra stared with a mixture of confusion and horror as Nithel slowly faded away. Alessio raced to grab his hand, but he went right through it. Nithel smiled before vanishing completely.

Every muscle in her body went numb. No. Oh – no. Was – was she going to fade too? She found herself grabbing at her skin, her hair, her limbs to see if she too…[Read more]

Ahhhh …. A good point @noah-cochran

I actually had a micro-conversation on this a few days ago. Basically, a friend asked me if there are any books with magic systems that are actually scientific in their world. And I responded with, yes, there are many, however, we generally use the term ‘magic’ as to would be what is magic in our world (even…[Read more]

@calidris

honestly, I totally get that about not knowing what you want to convey with your characters.  I feel like what you’re going through is a sign that your characters and skills are growing, since real people often feel conflicted and confused about their own desires and beliefs!  I think that Meira seems like a really interesting cha…

@rose-colored-fancy thanks!  Maybe some day you will play it 😉  Honestly, I truly believe that the setting all came about through God.  For a while, I was trying to write this cringy edgy LoTR knockoff story, and I started to feel really frustrated with it because no matter what I did to it, it couldn’t fit together.  I also felt that I was…[Read more]

@joelle-stone

Allo! I love your profile picture. <3

That’s good about school.
And so true! That’s sort of like me. It’s more of… ‘I just have to get this first draft written. It looks horrible, but I can fix that later…’ And telling myself that over and over so I don’t get stuck too long trying to make it perfect now. 😄

And Malvat……[Read more]

Hi Kimmi! *waves* School’s fine, writing is fluctuating between extremely-difficult/everything-I-write-is-trash and OH-MY-WORD-I-CAN’T-BELIEVE-HOW-MANY-WORDS-I-GOT/I-LOVE-THIS-PIECE!!! XD What about you?

Malvat didn’t like not being able to control where he was. This Castle – this thing – was getting in the way of his plans.

On the bright side, though, the one who thought in the unfamiliar language and who seemed to be on to him was gone. Vanished, into thin air.

Malvat hoped he’d fallen in a pit of lava.

“Well,” he rumbled, keeping his voice…[Read more]

@noah-cochran I’m a linguistic descriptivist more than a prescriptivist, so I don’t believe it’s right to demand almost everyone else accede to your wishes of how a word’s used in the context of the fantasy genre. All the power to you if you…[Read more]

THANK YOU

I don’t personally write fantasy or anything with magic, so I’ll leave this to be discussed by those of you who do. Though I do agree that they are not the same thing.

First of all: Yes.

Second of all: No. XD

While your definition is accurate to the real world, and by those standards I fully agree that it’s a term that should be used carefully… your definition does not take into account change of use and meaning. Now, I would be willing to hear an argument that the meaning should not be changed since it’s a…[Read more]

Time to tag people…[Read more]

I hoped it was dark enough that Liorah couldn’t see me blushing. Why had I helped her up? What else should I have done? I didn’t like this at all. Why couldn’t things be different?

“Let’s get out of here,” Liorah said, rather brusquely.

She was mad, of course, she was mad. Was she? Was I supposed to apologize?

(Me: Someone help them,…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

LOL I was almost disappointed when I saw “Sahar” 1st Person cos Acyn was so good and I didn’t know how you could top that and then I started reading it and that was SO FUNNY!!!! *(btw he’s obviously wearing the mask cos it’s 2021, being made fun of for being a good citizen, shame for shame :P)*

LOL, when they’re apart, Sa…[Read more]

Nithel hadn’t quite realized he was vanishing until Alessio raced over and he reached for the youth’s hand. Nithel’s hand was like a mist. He was fading. The man’s heart dropped, and he looked stunned at his friend. Shaking his head slowly, I don’t want to leave you. I want to leave this accursed place. But not without you… Oh Alessio… But…[Read more]

@kimlikesart OOOOOH I LIKES THIS!!!!!!

Alessio was still trying to process all the chaos in his head when everything exploded into color that could’ve cracked under his skull. Instinct jolts him to his feet, snatching for any noise to prepare for a sudden attack from any direction. A moan like the whole ground gusting with pain. And suddenly e…[Read more]

Allo Everyone!

@this-is-not-an-alien @irishcelticredflowercrown @joelle-stone @skylarynn @crazywriter @millennium

How have you been?

Is school going well/not so good/amazing/something else? <3

How is writing?

Thinking about you!
