@myclipboardismyviolin I’m trying to find some good ones myself. There aren’t many from my experience. 😛
As @i-david mentioned, Brandon Sanderson is the best of the best. He’s on a level with Tolkien.
Speaking of Tolkien, if you’ve only read The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, The Silmarillion is a must.
Dreamlander by K.M.Weiland is als…[Read more]

Oracles of Fire, Dragons in our Midst, and Children of the Bard by Bryan Davis. For the record those are the names of three series that go together. They’re easily my favorite books besides the Bible. They’re about… well it’s kinda hard to explain but if you want me to I’ll try. Oh and they’re fantasy.
Another series I’d…[Read more]

I, David replied to the topic Fantasy/Sci-Fi Book Recommendations in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 5 months ago
I cannot stress this enough:
Brandon. Sanderson.
Easily one of the best Fantasy writers out there today. He has a good amount of YA stuff a lot of people know about, but his true greatest works are The Stormlight Chronicles–READ. THIS. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT PEAK FANTASY LOOKS LIKE, YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST READ THESE. He’s…[Read more]

I’m an adult (technically), but YA is still my favourite genre and the one I usually read. But I’ve got a few adult suggestions and/or YA that an adult might like.
Pendragon Cycle by Stephen Lawhead. I’ve just started these, which I think are probably leaning more toward historical than fantasy, but they’re retellings of…[Read more]

Hmm. Would you mind terribly if I sent you an email? I think I may have a solution to this, but it involves personal information I’d rather not have the entire forum see.

@myclipboardismyviolin “massive inward breath” K.M. Shea, C.S. Lewis’ Space Trilogy, Melanie Cellier, R.J. Larson’s Books of the Infinite, Steve Azasa, Sharon Hinck’s The Sword Of Lyric, Kathy Tyers’ The Annotated Firebird, Rachel Star Thomson’s The Seventh World Trilogy, and last but not least Julie Rollins’ Vadelah Chronicles “gasps”

@chalice I’ve dabbled in a bunch of stuff, jewelry making and polymer clay being the main ones. One time when I was 11, I made a baby elephant, but its head fell off! XD (I didn’t know how to do the proper internal structure.)
@myclipboardismyviolin That is intriguing, I’ve never heard of a healing yarn, I am interested. I would be interested in…[Read more]

Hey, Miss S! Welcome to Story Embers! It’s great to have you here. 😀

Selah replied to the topic Hi Everybody! in the forum Introduce Yourself 7 years, 5 months ago
Wow, that is awesome! I have made a lot of different things, from dresses and a LOT of skirts (I wear a lot of them, and enjoy making a lot of styles of them), to baby and doll stuff. So much fun! I crochet a lot of baby and doll clothes + accessories, as well.

Selah replied to the topic Hi Everybody! in the forum Introduce Yourself 7 years, 5 months ago
LOL, okay. My email is spread around here anyways, but that is great! 🙂
Oh, I do a lot of sewing and crocheting, and my email was originally intended to be for that…never have had the time yet, but maybe one of these days. Do you do either one?

Oh, and if you type out my tag when you reply, then it will tag me in notifications. 😛

Oh, yeah, sorry…it is on a Google Doc, so I will have to send you access. If you have an email I can send it to you, or you can just email me and I will email you the Doc: needleworksbyselah@gmail.com
If you want to be a part of a beta-readers chat group that I have as well, tha’d be awesome…either way. Don’t feel…[Read more]

Yes, I agree with you! I think I try to do that a lot in my writing, as well. As long as you are not compromising the truth that God hates sin and will punish the sinner unless they repent, I agree that grace and gentleness should be used. And I think the verses in Romans sum up what you are saying, “the Law kills, the…[Read more]

Welcome to Story Embers! Thank you for your intro post…it was very encouraging. I agree that speaking the truth in love is THE purpose and goal of writing (and everything else in life). Nothing else will last in eternity.
What do you mean exactly by “gently handling the emotional disturbances truth brings”? I agree with…[Read more]

S.F. Dekreel replied to the topic Hi Everybody! in the forum Introduce Yourself 7 years, 5 months ago
@myclipboardismyviolin Ohhh, wow. X’D
We’re all the same gender, yeah. That’s fine. Actually, the first time I ever used the name “Dekreel” (which, by the way, I made up and is completely gibberish) was with a male OC in an abandoned WIP. I can justify your confusion, I guess, haha.

@myclipboardismyviolin Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! I used the wrong phraseology! I mean to bind any spirits ATTACKING you!
Thank you so much for praying for me, I can use all I can get.
You sound like a very industrious, Godly person. I appreciated all of the scripture references.

MyClipboardIsMyViolin replied to the topic Hi Everybody! in the forum Introduce Yourself 7 years, 5 months ago
I had nothing to do with that. It is a forum error.
My apologies, Miss Dekreel. I was merely verifying that your pen persona had the same gender as yourself.

O.o Dekreel is a she.
