@snapper @sam-kowal I guess we are the dragon buddies. <3

I think I would be the smallest (for now) because I am a pocket dragon (they’re from my fantasy/steampunk/historical drama). We pocket dragons are about the size of salamanders and we are incredibly intelligent and loyal. Sometimes we bond with someone, and if they are a strong person, we…[Read more]

@sam-kowal I vote for Avensers, that makes us sound waaaay cool.

@overcomer Green would be a perfect color. Maybe with something else, like red?

@epicaddie2 OOOOOOOO!! I love the idea of a lion! Noooot because I am *obsessed* with Narnia or anything.

@morreafirebird @supermonkey42 what do you think of a lion?

And blue and silver look cool together, but they don’t really seem to go with the whole forest treehouse theme, IMO. 😉

@snapper Lol! Hey, at least you’re coming up with some ideas, right? I drew a blank…

And my blog is Here  🙂

Does anyone else feel like we need a Guild motto, mascot, set of colors, something? Maybe a catch phrase to identify each other when we happen to meet in the great wide world? Or am I way, way over the top excited about this?!…[Read more]

@gabriellepollack *is excited* We should have a “connect in the outside world” post where we can tell each other who we are on social/how to get to our blogs! That way we can support each other as secretly loyal Avensbeck Guildmates! *crosses fingers that this will happen* *imagines how fun it would be to leave supportive comments on each other’s…[Read more]

@snapper I love the confidence, guild-dragon! I myself only aspire to be a dragon someday!

@overcomer @gabriellepollack I like Guildings alright but I think Guildmates sounds a little more grown up and serious. You know, like a band of soldiers or something. 😉

Hmmm…summer goals… *consults five-year plan* *scratches head*

Ok, so a lot of my timelines are totally off, so I’m going to propose a few “soft” goals for myself.

1. Finish editing/formatting/prepping Otherworld

2. Plan a launch and gather a great team

3. Have an amazing book launch for Otherworld in August (when it will be published)

4.…[Read more]

HI EVERYONE! (Why am I always the last person in the conversation. No idea! I am so excited about our guild! *squeals*

Ok, answers to questions:

1. I write children’s fantasy, with a dash of YA fantasy and magical realism in the mix

2. My current work in progress…which one? *laughs* I am editing a book about a girl named Mavis, who is dying…[Read more]

@gabriellepollack I already feel quite at home here!

All this tagging and re-tagging is making me nervous… @daeus-lamb did I fill out the form to0 late? *mildly panics that I missed the Sorting Hat and am therefore officially a Muggle*

Hi, @dekreel! We definitely need a special name for the Story Embers people. I thought of Emberites off the top of my head, but it sounds like we’re a group of Biblical area soldiers, lol.

@josiah Thanks, Josiah!

My favorite business lit (right now) is anything by Jon Acuff or Laura Vanderkam. (I guess LV is more of a productivity expert, but I lump them together.) I can’t recommend Finish, by Jon Acuff, and 168 Hours, by Laura Vanderkam, enough!

@sam-kowal That sounds like a seriously cool premise for a book!

@daeus-lamb Yay! 🙂

@sam-kowal It’s about Tim, Liz, and Anna who all get transported to a magical world called Lufrednow. So, yeah, just your typical portal fantasy, but I really enjoyed writing it. XD

What do you write?
