Oh that’s cool! Did they enjoy it?
Idaho–that’s a place you don’t hear about often! That’s really neat that you live there. What is like living there?
That’s great you’re writing a fantasy book. I love fantasy! It has so much potential to teach and to entertain readers.

A great first chapter! I’m intrigued to learn what happens next!
And it looks much better with the necessary paragraphs and punctuation, so great job with that!

“1 Corinthians 10:31: So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. When we write, we do it to glorify God and to help other Christians in their walk with Christ. If you write for God, you should pray and ask whether or not he wants you to write your novel now, with your current knowledge and experience.…[Read more]

I like it! Nice description and I like the family/friend dynamics 🙂

Oh ok, I don’t think I know him then 🙂
That’s so cool! Kruger is so awesome. I’ve gone there several times and it’s a new and exciting experience every time! I live in Johannesburg, so it would be really neat if we somehow got to see each other! I hope you enjoy your trip. Are you going to help with a missionary family’s ministry…[Read more]

I like it! And if you happen to stumble onto my character, I wouldn’t mind if you wrote her responses. Hopefully, my description of her helps with that 😉

Emory sounds a lot like my character Charlotte! I’m excited to learn more about her 😉

Kristianne Hassman replied to the topic Character Castle in the forum Fantasy Writers 6 years, 2 months ago
Sure, here it is!
Charlotte is the oldest daughter of the king of Tir-Aelyn, an island nation in my fantasy land. She married a prince of Eirlys (a nearby country) and they had a daughter named Amaryllis. Her husband died in a shipwreck less than a year after they were married. A few years later, her country was invaded and…[Read more]

Kristianne commented on the post, 3 Practical Tips to Tighten Long-Winded Prose 6 years, 2 months ago
This is so helpful! I will definitely be coming back to this as I go through serious editing on my WIP in a few months. I especially like the first point about using details as more than details. A very interesting concept and one I will try to be using in my writing. 🙂

I have no words . . . this is so beautiful and inspiring!

Kristianne commented on the post, Why Novelists Need to Stop Ignoring Poetry 6 years, 2 months ago
I totally agree. Too often writers overlook the value of incorporating poetry into their stories when it could really enhance their writing. I love reading books that include poetry or songs in them–for example, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, the Wingfeather Saga, and the Green Ember series. Poetry or song adds a whole new, wonderful level to an…[Read more]

You sound like me . . . If I make a typo, I agonize over it and chastise myself about it for the longest time! 😛
That’s neat! And an interesting concept that it’s not just about using big, complex words. I’ve actually never thought about it in that way–that it’s also about meter and the flow of the words as well.

I’m actually from the States, but my family has been missionaries here for the past seven years, so it feels like home to me. 😉
What’s your friend’s last name? I’m curious to know because I may know them. 😉
That’s so neat you’re coming here on a missions trip!! Where are you going or what cities/towns are you planning to visit?

Kristianne Hassman replied to the topic Those posh sounding charactors in the forum Characters 6 years, 2 months ago
Wow, this is really good! It sounds like you’ve really read up on it and researched it! 😀

Kristianne Hassman replied to the topic Character Castle in the forum Fantasy Writers 6 years, 2 months ago
All right, here’s the introduction to my character:
Charlotte could hear a baby fussing as she walked briskly down the street to the tenement building she had visited the day before. She looked down at her basket again to make sure she had all the herbs she needed. Yes, they were all there.
The squalling grew louder as she approached the door of…[Read more]

Song-writing is not something I regularly do, though I do hope to start doing it more often.
I’m sure it was a difficult experience. But difficulties like that can also teach you valuable lessons that you wouldn’t have learned otherwise. I know I have learned a lot from being an MK, even though it’s been far from easy.
I laughed when I…[Read more]

Maybe stick in a big word here or there, or have her always use a certain “more sophisticated” word in place of a more typically-used word, but other than that, try to have her use normal words and speech.

Kristianne Hassman replied to the topic Popping in to Say Hi 😉 in the forum Introduce Yourself 6 years, 2 months ago
Oh cool! It’s the same with me. I write down verses and record tunes just whenever they come to mind.
That is so neat that you lived on a reservation for so many years! And what a great learning experience, even though it has its challenges. That’s great you want to be a missionary. That’s a wonderful way to serve God. 🙂 Do you have any…[Read more]
