Many people will try to “make up” for their sins once they accept…[Read more]

I haven’t thought about it enough to see if I agree or not, but I do think it’s an interesting take on it.

Well…

For starters, body language. By outwardly emotional, I’m assuming a lot of that refers to voicing emotions and things like crying/etc? Those are pretty big signals of emotion, but there are more subtle ways to show emotion through basic body language. Characters who don’t voice their emotions…[Read more]

I’ll definitely check Dekker out. And yes, read Peretti! He’s absolutely amazing at developing tension and inserting Christian elements into genres that don’t seem very “Christian”. I read and loved his “Cooper Kids Adventure Series” as a young teen, and I’ll still re-read some of the strong ones like The Door In the Dragon’s Throat, beca…[Read more]

Haha, it truly is.

That said, I like that as the human race comes to a pandemic, the first thing that runs out is common sense and TP. XD It’s highly amusing.

Haha, yeah. Amish fiction is occasionally good and mostly bad, in my experiences. Having a romance with ‘normal’ people is all fine and great, but I don’t want morally and ethically perfect characters. (Not that Amish people are… but that’s the general portrayal. The farthest it seems to go against the grain is giving the MC a “…[Read more]

For me, it’s reverting. XD I started public school my Junior year. 😉

Working Title: Sidereal 

Description: Kaze is a “shift”, a being who can teleport within seconds from one location to another in the vast un…[Read more]

Darn. I wonder what happened to it then… oh well. 😉

This is a pretty good short tutorial on the very basics of blending with block watercolors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kznN5UZmlng

I prefer the tubes to be honest and I usually use them, but I do have a nice block travel set I use for when I’m out and about. What really matters when blending watercolours is the pigement-to-water…[Read more]

Yes, sadly life has taken it’s toll again and our guildmasters are all busy people. Erekdale has a discord chat, but it isn’t very active either. I hope we get back in the flow of things eventually… it was nice to have weekly discussions and challenges.

I’m working on a mixture of projects. Currently, my big fantasy project that I recently changed the title to Aeonian, and a Hi-Fi novel set either in Vietnam or Korea(not sure which yet, but probably Vietnam.). The Hi-Fi is still in plotting stages but it’s one of the few projects I’ve ever had that I have a firm idea on what I want out…[Read more]

Thanks! It’s just what I’ve noticed as a sort of trend in YA v. Adult, especially in fantasy.

@phoenix

Yep. It’s just my opinion based off what I’ve read and seen in fiction. 😉

I also really enjoy The Hobbit, mostly for the humor and the grans sense of adventure all…[Read more]

Just popped in to say, I really love how this is progressing, even though I can’t contribute a great deal. It’s so interesting to observe a blurb take shape…

Thank you! 🙂

You know it. 😉

Oh, by the way – ever heard of half alive? They’re sort of similar to TOP.

Niche is my thing. Pop is typically bland and meaningless, and it annoys me so I stick to lesser-known bands or more Alternative music.

And yes, kicking myself in the face would be quite the feat and very amusing to the rest of the population, I’d assume. But I typically attempt to avoid such things.

😉

I’ll admit, I haven’t read many of the books… I got sort of sidetracked with Sanderson. I like all the the Robert Downey Jr. movies however(though, slight content warning on those – nothing too crude if I remember correctly but some language), and I love the…[Read more]

*clears throat*

Did I? It appears I did.

Oh dear.

I don’t know you, but it seems we’ll get along.

I’m Sarah–Inkdragon, that is. Or you can call me Sink. (Long story.) Whichever is more useful when in the middle of writing a long and arduous paragraph. I tend to hold the deep sense of sarcasm, general laziness(Well, not laziness, per se, but rather a like for doing nothing physically…[Read more]

I kind of tend to just get a “feel” for a story, I guess. I might have some concept that’s been really on my mind and all of a sudden it blooms into a story(Sort of like my Hi-Fi WIP, which just began with the idea of war-time pen pals and the concept of accountability and loyalty.), or I get an image of a story I want to write.…[Read more]

Aww, that’s sad. Micah sounds like a nice horse. 🙂 I hope you’re able to get a hold of Irene and his owner someday!

Just for fun, here’s a picture of my very…. *cough* fluffy mare.

Haha, I wouldn’t really call myself classy. I just have preferences on horse build for equine sports, since I compete in them – the most functional build is the build that does the sport the best, and as it turns out the typical QH build isn’t the best for the sports I like. 🙂 Sport horses like WB, Sport-bred TB, or Sport-bred…[Read more]

First things first – I thought you were the OP. *facepalm* Woops lol. Most of that really long-ish rant was meant for the OP….

Anyhow, so the differentiation between “common-place” and “special ability” magic to me is just simply how it occurs in the natural world. Common place magic is something everyone can learn, with var…[Read more]

Endurance is awesome, if you don’t mind getting your butt kicked by a bunch of 60 year old ladies on their “slightly chubby” but still ridiculously fast Arabs. XD (Seriously though, those ladies are hardcore.)

Arabs are nice. I’m not really into the Egyptian Arabs, they’re too small to be of much use in the sport world(Or at…[Read more]

Thought I’d just pop in because I too like horses. XD

Btw, Kat, you might try checking out Monty Robert’s video on join up if you ever write it again! He explains it very well and I really like him as a trainer. 🙂 It’s a cool video.

Personally, I don’t really show because I can’t deal with the community of the…[Read more]

Thanks! I like physics. 😉 And writing. So combine them we must. XD

I’ve yet to actually start it, but I’ve been toying of writing a WW1 novel from the perspective of a German soldier. (My mother is German, so she knows a lot more about the history from the German perspective than most people. I think it would be pretty interesting to…[Read more]
