…@joelle-stone, okay. Keep on writing!!!

@kylie-wingfeather…. *holds out homemade brownies that may or may not have pecans because it’s a family recipe and my Dad’s from the South and now I’m rambling* Chocolate? There’s also coffee and pecan-free brownies.

@every0ne SOMEBODY WRITE BEFORE THIS DIES!!!

Its ok, I understand. We will miss you though! do you have any requests for what we do with your character?

Will you still be around story embers?

Agreed. Also, I think your quote applies to this story really well XD.

so, when the water lowers, the characters cross the stream and Silent gets caught,…

@joelle-stone

Ooh I liked it 🙂 And I loved all the bits that relate to wind (like Life Breather and Breathed).

Scene Questions

1. Is there anything that stood out to you as intriguing about this scene?

I loved the clearness of the writing of the moment it portrayed.

2. What would you say the mood was of this scene?

Tendrils of love,…[Read more]

@joelle-stone Absolute mood. Same here, same here.

@lonathecat Oh, nice! Sounds like LoTR was made just for you, then! The Silmarillion was so heavy for me, but I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’ve yet to read The Wingfeather Saga yet, but I’ve heard great things about it.

@joelle-stone

LOL! I wish someone would draw a picture of that…know anyone with “wicked” drawing skills? 😉😁 [Hint, hint.]

@joelle-stone

I hath been summoned! Thanks!

@kylie-wingfeather

Hmm, familiar issue! I’ve had to take longish breaks several times, because of life, yaknow.

Here are several solutions that have helped me.

Plan out your chapter. Idk if you are a plotter or pantser, but just planning out the next chapter can help.

As Joelle said, talk about it!…[Read more]

@kylie-wingfeather

Hello Kylie!

You are not alone.  We have all been there.  Totally understand. Don’t be hard on yourself.  Feeling guilty about it, tends to frustrate creative thought, so let it go.  You are God’s gifted girl. Don’t let the enemy steal that truth from you. Tell him and his sniveling whispery suggests to take a hike and fin…[Read more]

@joelle-stone

Great job on your sprint! You write fast! *Applause*

I’m starting another 20-minute sprint at :35. Goal- 400 words at least.

@joelle-stone

Great idea! Thanks for tagging me!

I’m definitely the kind of person who needs the slight pressure of “I said I’d do it and it’ll be embarrassing to say ‘and then I didn’t'” Soo, let’s give this a try!

Sprinting for 20 minutes from :30-:50. Goal- 300 words, at least.

@joelle-stone

So, what now?

P.S. Éowyn, the namesake of Nora’s changerat, just passed away. She will be missed.

@joelle-stone

*Stares at the screen blankly for a few minutes*

*The message finally gets through to me*

*Starts bawling*

NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON’T DO THIS TO ME!!!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Excuses myself to go devour several tons of ice cream, still wailing*

Thank you so much! I grew up studying a lot of writing analysis and rhetoric courses for school so it’s…XD I really enjoyed listening to your prologue! I think really the only thing that made it seem too vague were how spaced out the samples were; reading the prologue all at once definitely would have it flow much more naturally and as a nov…[Read more]

Hi Joelle,

Yay! Success! Yes, it did. So looking forward to hearing it!  Thank you, thank you!

@joelle-stone

Hi Joelle,

Oh, I would so love to hear this, but the link did not work for some reason. Did you upload it on something like Google Docs and then make it shareable?

If it doesn’t work could you, perhaps email it to me, and I will help make it accessible? Psst: my email is: Excavatia(at)hotmail.com

@devastate-lasting

So, usually I do medieval Fantasy (i.e Ranger’s Apprentice style) with maybe a very light touch of magic (I have a phoenix in my current WIP novel).  But I’ve also tried a dystopian/fantasy style for a MG short story I just finished.  It’s kinda like alt. history, in the sense that there’s wagons, trains, towns and cities, b…[Read more]

LOL! All I know how to sign is “I love you” “please” and “thank you” (or was it “you’re welcome”? Shoot I always mix them up signing XD) and a couple other words and phrases here and there. I really should learn the ASL alphabet that’ll be a good start (instead of trying to memorize that entire signing book, forgetting the first several chapt…[Read more]

@joelle-stone

Hi Joelle!

I wrote a reply this AM that vanished…🤷‍♂️
I suspect a Gremlin, and someone fed it “after hours”.

I am looking forward to hearing/seeing your post.  Remember, it is only a single scene, not a full chapter.  No context is needed. Just let it stand alone. That gives us the chance to answer and guess a little then you c…[Read more]

@joelle-stone

Yeah, souls are really important to the stories involving Haven.  And Brendin has a very long, complicated and messy character arc involving trying to reconcile his past as a mære under Ingor with who he was before and who he is now (which he really is not at all sure of).  I as the author find it kinda heartbreaking to see him go…[Read more]
