@selah-chelyah You’re welcome. 😛

No, I don’t think I have. I just thought it was funny.

@wordsmith Yeah. I guess that’s what books are.

@selah-chelyah *Fist pump* Yes. Nailed it!
Also your signature is hilarious. XD

@wordsmith Okay, so… King Wordsmith the Wordsmith of Wordsmithing, then?
They say, some people are born with a title, some achieve a title, and some have a title thrust upon them.

@selah-chelyah

Allow me to correct you here… King Wordsmith of Drama, and Duke of Caffeine have connotations that I do not necessarily subscribe to.  *gets highly technical*

King implies authority, which may or may not be applied to my station. It’s rather shifty here. Wordsmith, yes I am, though King Wordsmith? I don’t think those quite line…[Read more]

@selah-chelyah

The idea for the book is still in the bare bones stage. I’ve just started researching, and I’m already  exhausted, haha. I had no idea how much work went into books like this, but I’m not about to give up.

I agree about England being amazing. I’ve never been there, but someday I will.

@selah-chelyah

That’s good advice, thank you. 🙂 I’m still trying to get to know my character, get inside their heads, figure out just how they work XD

Okay guys. I know I’ve been pretty terrible about being around much, but it’s awesome that you’ve come up with some ideas! The beauty in a pencil is a cool concept.

Have we got any volunteers to write a draft? Because the story needs to be in by Sunday.

(Also, if nothing seems to be happening by mid-way through tomorrow, I shooould be free to…[Read more]

@catwing

Drama… It is beautiful.

@selah-chelyah

Coffee… *nods*

@selah-chelyah

Nice to meet you!

I am currently working on an epic fantasy novel. Here is the WIP pitch.

“While searching for a special kind of energy stone used as a resource for her city, a woman finds an ancient seal on a dark prison which holds an evil force.

Thinking it is a new kind of energy stone, she accidentally breaks the seal w…[Read more]

@selah-chelyah It honestly depends on what will work best for you! With self publishing, it’s a lot harder to get the word out, because you don’t have a big publishing company on your side, but it’s getting easier in these days of social media, etc. If you think self publishing is your jam, it’s definitely worth looking into!

@ashira Thanks! I…[Read more]

@wordsmith You’re welcome.

@selah-chelyah Yeah. XD

Yes. Yes, they can. I think it’s how formal they write. It makes them sound like they’re in Olde England, sitting in the parlor of a tea —I mean coffee— party while sipping on their tea —I mean coffee— and deeply debating Shakespeare —except it’s LOTR and coffee—. Maybe sort of?

@selah-chelyah and @jennythefaun

Thank you for the suggestions 😀 I admit I haven’t heard of either of those book series before, but I will definitely give them a look!

P.S @jennythefaun I love your name XD

@selah-chelyah

Madame… Coffee is simply beautiful. If you decide to try it some day, and need merely a little comforting in order to follow through, please do not hesitate to contact me.

And I think you misunderstand. We don’t make anything dramatic. It just decides to become so in our presence.

@ryowildfire It’s nice to meet you, too. 😀

What kind of fantasy books have you written? Did you publish any of them yet?

Referring to my writing cheat sheet (everyone has one, not just Hiccup), the series follows the main character’s journey in the world of Reimira, where she must be a flame of hope in the darkness. Like any good fantasy series,…[Read more]

@selah-chelyah @ashira

I have eight of the Elsie books and have never liked any of them 😛 As @rochellaine said, way too dramatic and ridiculous, as well as suffering from some unfortunate racial portrayals (as does pretty much any book from the time).

@ashira How long ago did you read them?

I really don’t remember anyone having a habit of screaming when angry except Joel, Van and Alexia, and only in their younger years.  If anyone else screamed angrily, it must have been a very unusual occasion for them.  Like I said before, Margaret Sidney used the word “scream” to also mean a kind of s…[Read more]

Hi all! I still have a deadline to meet by the next week so I might pop up and disappear again, but I like the idea so far! I mean, pencils. I’m an artist, so I practically die for such things.

How about when we use pencils, we include other things like the kind of paper you’d use and maybe the setting around it like…[Read more]

@selah-chelyah *facepalm* One day I shall include the link on the first try. 😛 Does that work now?

@dakota Oooooh, nice thoughts. *nodnod*

@ellen-blanc Well, I’m Jane’s irl cousin if that helps. And she shamelessly tailored the Meraki entry when I was judging to my tastes, so doing the same to her would be amusing to say in the least.

I HAVE RETURNED!! *throws confetti*

I met my deadline, I survived it, and I’m hopefully back. That said, I won’t be checking in on your guild war progress because I’m pretty sure I’m judging this time!…[Read more]

@ashira @selah-chelyah Thanks. 🙂 No, it’s not research for a WIP.  It’s just something I was thinking about and wondering.  😛

I found one place I’d remembered where it mentions pins used as currency: in Joel Pepper by Margaret Sidney.  But in that one it’s only talked about, and they don’t actually use the pins to pay for anything.  I bel…[Read more]
