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]

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]

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

That is an interesting question and an intriguing way of separating it.
Okay. So, essence is more of an ability that the people of the world have. So in my mind it’s not treated like supernatural or magic. It’s far from witchery and it is not seen as breaking the of the rules of nature. However, it actually touches upon racism because each race…[Read more]

I know it’s fantasy, so I understand if it’s not your cup-o-tea, but this is also my first attempt at a romance novel… so I would love to hear your thoughts on it, if you are willing.

Aefflaed’s Weakness: A Love Story
This touching story began as a short story and quickly evolved into an epic. (well, a short novel, but still an epic story….if I can toot my own horn a bit. )
In my previous WIP, The Adventures of the Last Aygiff,…[Read more]

The book is 61k words =) A small novel, but I like it… just rough draft right now… This scene is just after the final major, massive, epic battle scene that lasts for 11k words!!!! (yeah… I know….) Would love to hear what you think. Especially about the kings talk with Aefflaed ( the protagonist), if it makes sense, if it flows, if it…[Read more]

(please change anything that’s not acceptable, and I didn’t mean to inadvertently push Mori out of the story for a while… One idea I had was the magic of the room, you could have him face himself and then once conquering himself, he could wake up, regardless of the potent sleeping draft I shot him with…. but again, change whatever. =) )

Mr.Trip Williams replied to the topic Character Castle 2.0 in the forum Fantasy Writers 4 years ago
oooh things just got interesting. lol … @denali-christianson , forgive me if I’m wrong, but Mori wouldn’t hesitate to try to stab Halmar…. right? hehe
and…
haha. this made me laugh for some reason. Poor Halmar, doesn’t know Abirami’s ability yet… lol.
But great job writing! It took me by surprise. Didn’t expect that…

Mr.Trip Williams started the topic Young boy with awkward speech. Thoughts? Help Please. in the forum Fantasy Writers 4 years ago
@everyone
I wanted to add a young boy acting as a page to come call on Aefflaed, my main character, to call her to the king, and in the process of the boy saying her name wrong, it kind of developed into this thing where the boy has a speech issue where he has trouble saying short vowels and going from one vowel to the next.

hahahaha. I have a poster in my classroom with Gandolph facing the balrog, on top it says “You Shall Not Pass”. and then on the bottom, it says “If You Do Not Have Your Name On Your Paper!”
