Just finished reading it.
let me just say that Lenora is adorable!
I love how you made her father a glass maker. And who would come up with the ridiculous idea of glass slippers other than a child. I thought his was quite clever.
Why does her call her “his little light”. Does this have a part to play later in the story?

@ethan-mitchell Hi there!
I literally just added “All Quiet on the Western front” to my Goodreads “To Read list”. lol
I dabble in drums. Just for fun , definitely not orchestra level.
I play video games as well. Mainly Minecraft and Halo. I spend way more time reading though. 🙂
What’s your favorite fantasy books?

Violet replied to the topic For my little brother Thaddeus in the forum Prayer Requests 7 years, 6 months ago
Thanks guys. He went around with his eyes shut for two days. We had to put goop in is eyes for a week and then drops in for another few days. He now only has one scratch along his left cornea, which the doctor says it’s probably because he sleeps with his eye slightly open.
To sum it all up, he’s out of dan…[Read more]

Violet commented on the post, How to Use Raw Inspiration to Discover Your Character's Voice 7 years, 6 months ago
Can’t thank you enough for this article. I loved the example you gave for the backstory bit. My protagonists voice seemed so stale (especially compared to the very interesting side characters). Whilst reading though, I was flooded with ideas; I think I might of fixed him! Hopefully. Now to write it all down before I forget. 🙂

Violet replied to the topic An argument — Christian stories don't just happen in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 6 months ago
@daeus-lamb I’ve actually never heard of that piece of advice before (you shouldn’t worry too much about how to write a story that glorifies God because if you’re a Christian you can’t help but express your love for the God you know.)
It doesn’t sound like advise a christian would give? Basically write without thinking of how (or if) it will af…[Read more]

@brandon-miller Skyward is on my reading list for this year! I can’t wait to read it.
In December I actually took a break from reading (except for Charles Dickens “Christmas Carol”) To spend more time with my siblings and re-think my writings.
The whole “no reading” thing was difficult, I think it helped though because, I’ve already read two…[Read more]

@kari-karast That was my character Salvatore btw. I know it’s separated but I couldn’t go back to fix it.
But I know what you mean. Questions with the largest room for interpretation are frankly, the best given for discussion. 🙂
Would your character rather have the worst hair day in the history of hair days, or have his or her hair turn t…[Read more]

I wish to ask pray for my little brother Thaddeus.
He is seven years-old and has down-syndrome. Yesterday he was playing outside and got dirt in his eye, not a big deal. But hours later, he still couldn’t open his eyes. He doesn’t communicate well and is usually pretty tough. But he was crying on and off and wouldn’t remove his hands from his…[Read more]

@wordsmith Aww thanks! Honestly though, you could have pulled through without me. It was a lot of fun working with you. So if you ever need another assistant, you know where to find me.

Violet replied to the topic Dream Prompt War in the forum Announcements 7 years, 7 months ago
@wordsmith Is there anything I could be doing to help with the story? I had posted more thoughts and critiques the day before yesterday; but I’m at a lost on what else I can do.
Oh, and quick question. Where did you get the idea to name the pov character Darcen? Just wondering. 😁

Violet replied to the topic Dream Prompt War in the forum Announcements 7 years, 8 months ago
It’s not that I don’t have the time; it’s more like I don’t have the skill. I don’t write as much as I should, and my writing is ……juvenile. Especially compared with some of the other writers we have on here. I just don’t think my writing is at the point where I should be representing Rillumen. So while I appreciate the offer I’l…[Read more]
