Hehe, that’s okay 🙂 I get confused enough translating real Latin. Are you trilingual?

I thought Island of the Blue Dolphins was disappointing as well and I got really confused at how old Karana was supposed to be. I could not keep track of how much time was passing. I haven’t read The Healer’s Apprentice, but none of…[Read more]

Whew! I’m glad I’m not alone there! “Island of the Blue Dolphins” was such a disappointment XD

@seekjustice

Awesome!

Thanks! I’ll definitely let you know when I open for alphas/betas. Hopefully it’ll be sometime soonish… there are a couple of big things I have to fix and then also make sure I’m doing my theme and message correctly. Theme is hard! I think because I’ve read so few books that focus on theme it’s harder for me to figure out…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Hi!! I totally remember you XD

Yep, I do! I think when I first joined KP I hadn’t started writing historical fantasy yet. My first attempt at the genre was… a year and a half ago? But I totally agree, there are not enough historical fantasy books out there. Your WIP sounds super cool! If you ever need an alpha…… XD

So, my…[Read more]

Tagging you guys separately so the spam filter doesn’t eat things up. XD

@seekjustice,

Hawaiian? That makes sense. 🙂 For names in my stories I tend to translate some kind of character trait into another language, and Hawaiian as been helpful. 🙂 Oy, I can’t believe I thought it was Elvish! *facepalm* 😛

@seekjustice,

Wow. I never even thought of that, and it weaves in PERFECTLY. Thank you so much! I think you gave me just the right answer. Combining this with everyone else’s response will definitely smooth out my kinks. 🙂 Thanks!

BTW, what language is your signature in? I thought it was some form of Elvish, but now I’m not sure. 😉

@seekjustice

Hi, Chelsea!

Thank you so, so much! That’s exactly what I was looking for! Those are some great resources, and they help me a lot.

Thank you for taking the time to answer!

That is really helpful, @seekjustice. Thanks.

@seekjustice

Hi, Chelsea! I am doing really well, thanks for asking! How are you today? It’s great to be here on Story Embers! Everyone has been so nice here :). Some of my favorite books and authors (other than the Bible ;)) are “Redeeming Love” by Francine Rivers, the entire “Green Ember” series by S.D. Smith, “The Wingfeather Saga” by Andrew…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Hi Chelsea! It’s nice to meet you!

I do love history! My (current) favorite periods are: The Anglo-Dutch wars, the English Civil war, the Napoleonic wars, the Middle-east and North Africa during the medieval period (As you can tell by my WIP), the Romans, and the French revolution. (Okay, that’s a long list. I actually like most…[Read more]

I think you’ve said it very well, @seekjustice. Seems to match with the definitions of cultural appropriation I’ve found online.

According to one online dictionary, cultural appropriation is: “the unacknowledged or inappropriate adoption of the customs, practices, ideas, etc. of one people or society by members of another and typically more…[Read more]

Great question, @seekjustice! This is something I’ve been thinking about myself, as I’m moving into writing the second half of a romance series–and now all the couples introduced in the first half are married, some happily, some–less so.

Positive and honorable depictions of erotic love (between married people) are sadly lacking both in books…[Read more]

I am!!!!!! (My username is Emberlynn) I… really didn’t make much of an outline 😅 But this an idea I’ve been working on for a few years now, so I think I’ve got a good idea of how it’s gonna go 🙃

@dakota OOoooohhhh. HOLD ON EVERYBODY. Thanks to Dakota, I spotted an error. I actually calculated some results from last word war.

Here are the new calculations:

Word war group 1: 10,810
Word war group 2: No participation
Word war group 3: 6,567

Individual with the highest word count: @fairfay with 6,191!

Sorry about the confusion, f…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. I’ll probable try that.

@literatureforthelight

Thank you, I do struggle with plot especially in larger works. I’ll use that.

@arindown

That view does help, I’ll keep that in mind. But… What’s a Panster?

Yeah, I’m more like a kid ready to order off the adult menu than a five-year…[Read more]
