Yeah, I keep telling myself that even a little progress is still progress. I was just hoping to hit 20 thousand instead of ten.

My main character was the whole inspiration for the story so she’s definitely my favorite. Funny that both of the characters you mentioned as being protective because my main character is literally a guard.😆 It’s a forced protectiveness at…[Read more]

From now on I’ll watch this post like a bluebird watches her neighbors’ nest! No mistakes!

*deep breath* ….Anyways.

I’ve heard of a lot of people who are having trouble with amazon shipping right now. People are usually pretty understanding about these things.

Hey, if you need…[Read more]

Oh my mashed potatoes, I thought I had replied days ago! Apparently, I only replied in my head; or just never clicked send. 🤦

Anyways……

I was more than happy to share about your launch. How did it go?

How are you doing on your 100-for-100?

True, true, I’m just a world-building junkie 😆

🎉Your book launch tomorrow! 💐  Good luck, and let me know if there’s anything I can do.

That’s funny because I haven’t read Mistborn yet.  I hate it when the library only has part of a series. I started reading the X-Wing series only to find my library just had the first and eighth books.🤦

That’s actually pretty smart and if you don’t mind, I think I’ll…[Read more]

Hmmm, my magic system is more nature-based. Do you know how the stereotypical superhero backstory has them falling into a vat of toxic waste, but instead of dying, they get superpowers? Well, in mine there’s a certain mineral that has toxic properties, some who come in contact with it become ill, develop m…[Read more]

Wow! 🎉That must be so exciting! Hey do you have any promotional images for your book, because if you don’t mind I could share it on my social?

I however, have never finished anything, lol. I get to distracted by shiny new ideas. Which leads to what i’m currently doing which is discovery writing my way through an epic-fantsy duo…[Read more]

I probably should have posted this before the challenge started, but hey, hindsight is 20/20.¯_(ツ)_/¯

Anyways, today is day 5 of the challenge and I wanted to see how many are participating. Mainly for the purpose of sharing what we’…[Read more]

Oh goodness I just noticed that you responded!🤦 Sorry.

My family didn’t seem to notice, or care, about the change in Ahsoka either. Not to mention that whoever wrote the story didn’t know his pancakes from his flap-jacks when it came the history of the Jedi and Star Wars as a whole. Just, UGGGHHh, absolutely no attention to detail…[Read more]

My Favorite character would have to be Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Though Ahsoka is definitely in my top ten favorite characters. “The Mandalorian” doesn’t degrade my opinion of her because I personally don’t consider Disney canon (except for “Rouge One” of course which was amazing). I mean they didn’…[Read more]

I love Star Wars with a passion.  Do you have a synopsis for your Fan-fic or is it still in the  planning stages?

Oh and which movie and characters are your favorite? 🙂

I’ve never seen the movie. I’ve got a huge number of movies I need to watch that are based off books I’ve read. lol. Anna and the Kind of S…[Read more]

I tend to ask a lot of questions. Here have…[Read more]

@r-m-archer  &  @evelyn   Lol, why has everyone heard of this joke but me. One of the skillshare teachers kept saying the first line and not giving the punch line.

Here we can celebrate with some doughnuts ヽ(ᵔᗜᵔ)ﾉ🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩

💐Congratulations @theswordinthebook ! That’s a lot of words!

Thanks for the offer, but I’m nowhere near that point yet. I have some major character / plot elements I need to demolish and…[Read more]

I don’t want my magic system to seem supernatural because that is what those who use the perversion of the ordained magic do. So my magic system its self isn’t supernatural, but those who abuse it add in a supernatural element.

You asked a lot of great question for creating a magic system, good thing I already have them all…[Read more]

I actually struggled with this for a while because I was afraid any magic would feel supernatural. Especially since my Wip’s genre is Historical Urban Fantasy; at least I think it would be, it’s complicated.

Like @sarah-inkdragon mentioned I have…[Read more]

What books do you like to read? Do you have a favorite book?
What’s your favorite genre to write?
Do like Star Wars?

Sorry for all the questions.Here have some doughnuts ヽ(ᵔᗜᵔ)ﾉ🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩

I’d say my favorite torture methods are psychological/emotional. Betrayal, sub-character deaths, misplaced trust, or destruction of their expectations are all great.

@anne_the_noob14   I play on Java edition, so there are no “friends”☹️. But wouldn’t it be awesome if someone made a Story Embers Minecraft server! I mean, yeah, it would just be another thing distracting people from writing……buuuttt it would be a community dis…[Read more]

@katthewriter  What you do is keep track of all the words you’ve written this week (Monday -Sunday) of all the creative things you’ve written. Then at the end of the week, you submit your final word count in the link that Daeus provided.  Good Luck!

@cassidy  I do what I can. (╭☞ ⌐■ ◞ ■ )…

I’ve spent moke time baking so far this week than writing.¯_(ツ)_/¯     I will definitely try to wring a couple of hundred words out of tonight though. Does anyone have a word goal for this week?…[Read more]

A lot of my stories take place in the middle ages too, though usually with an element of fantasy added in. What’s your favorite medieval fact?

Oh and btw, have you ever read Don Quixote, and how do you feel about Star Wars?

@wordsmith I know you’re not technically here. But Hi anyways 😃

I’ve never read a tale of two cities, though it’s been on my tbr for years. Have you ever read Don Quixote? It’s my all-time favorite book. But I can’t seem to find anyone else who’s read and enjoyed it.¯_(ツ)_/¯

Have you ever painted daisies on a big red rubber ball?

I’ve never heard of “The Ilyon Chronicles” but I love seeing people favorites, so I’ll go check it out.

Also a homeschool grad here. *high-fives*

I like hugs as well, but I don’t really play an instrument unless you can count the drum which I learn on and off.

Do you read classics?

But hey, to each their own.乁(ᴗ◞ ᴗ)ㄏ

“Return of the Jedi” is great, it’s my third favorite.  🙂 Though my favorite is “The Phantom Menace”.

I didn’t know you like Star Wars! Who’s your favorite main character, and who’s your favorite background character? Which movie do you like best?………… I am a huge Star Wars fan…..In case you didn’t know. lol

My favorite character is Obi-Wan Kenobi, and my favorite background characters are Elan…[Read more]

Natural outcomes is sometimes hard for me. Like what’s natural? People getting what they deserve; sowing what they reap? Or, bad people sometimes getting away and good people getting hurt? I personally think it’s a mixture of both, on earth anyways. We all get our dues after death. How do you…[Read more]
