(cheesy grin.) This is fun… Okay, I might change a few things up, but hopefully nothing too drastic. Gonna try to follow suite….

(The Aemirok is a creature of myf – legendary, mythic fantasy creature from my character’s world – that I had previously introduced. It is pretty much a massive flying wolf. As tall as an elephant but slim as a…[Read more]

@calidris

sorry, didn’t see your post until after I posted mine. I had my two in the back of the room previously, so I decided to pick up where I had left off… hope it works. I can have Abirami interact with you in my next post… after people’s reactions… I’m gonna have Abirami try to corral everyone out of the room… =)

Ku

(essence is the “magical system” of my fantasy world. It’s based off of Plato’s true forms, if knows what that is. =) )

Pitch blackness.

“No.” No way could I be alone.

I stretched out my essence, seeking for some living creature. Surely, I would find one. Even as a street urchin, I was never really alone. Every square inch of earth hous…[Read more]

WOW! Things are moving fast! I was going to write something yesterday, but then another page of writing appeared!

So…. before the large break in the castle, I had Ku’Aya (nicknamed Ku) and Abirami. Ku calls him Ami, but Abirami hates that nickname. Ku is a 14yr. old Aelacrin girl, and Abirami is an 18 year old Aygiff boy. Aelacrin’s are green…[Read more]

@k-a-grey

sorry for the late reply.

lol. it was close. Most of the differences are just me being exceedingly nitpicky. =)

The differences:

– red scales instead of green

– the front fins are near perfect except the three fingers come straight out of the curve of the fin, so there is no hand-like connection between the fingers and the…[Read more]

That’s awesome!

@k-a-grey

don’t worry about it! I can post my email. That’s fine!

Thank you so much for commenting.

@k-a-grey

I can see where you are coming from with Harry Potter, and I have some good friends who feel the same way. Hold strong to those convictions!

I appreciate you being willing to beta read my novel! I know reading a novel is a big ask, so whatever you can get done would be greatly appreciated. I know some…[Read more]

@noah-cochran

If I am understanding your question, yes I think so.

Thank you so much for going more in depth into your concepts and beliefs on the subject. It has cleared up some confusion on my part and some pre-conceived assumptions. And thank you so much for being so gracious with your response. You are correct that over the internet tone…[Read more]

I apologize. That last part came across a lot more strongly than I intended.

I know you aren’t purposefully impugning my moral standing or anything of the sort and that you mean well.

Its just the way you word things…

I applaud you for your position and your conviction, and I do not want to take that away from you. Far from it. Hold…[Read more]

I understand your interpretation and position on the issue, but I disagree with the severity and application of your position. Nor do I believe it is a matter of sin but of conviction. Just as it would be wrong for a baptist to claim that dancing or playing cards is a sin for any Christian to do (David danced in the streets and it is used multiple…[Read more]

the antagonist uses the curses.

the king uses the blessing.  The king is of a race that is practically immortal, they live so long. They are known as a wise and righteous race and were chosen long ago as defenders of the truth. As such, they were gifted the ability to use blessings.

Curses/blessings are a VERY SMALL part of the story…[Read more]

The antagonist.

it’s not meant to be ambivalent or ambiguous, it’s just that they are not known to the protagonist and thus aren’t delved into. The lore is complicated and would take a long time to explain while at the same time would not have anything to do with the novel I wrote, so to summarize in simplistic fashion, curses derive their power from satan,…[Read more]

@joelle-stone

no real deadline. I’d like to start putting feelers out for traditional publishers this summer… but I have no set date or anything.
