Thank you, and welcome to Rillumen! If you don’t know much about me, I try really hard to take over Brandon’s job here *coughs*. In other words I’m an ENTJ. I also really like writing 😁 *nods* How ’bout you? 

And I thank you in return!

Ah, I see. ENF-P here. XD

It’s actually that I haven’t gotten to the climactic moment yet, and am relatively behind, like the plot and chapter line-up is like this:

—–chapters——

So I’m on chapter nine, but my characters are still acclimating/trying to figure out the new world.

It’s shaping up okay: I am rewriting one story, writing another, and trying to figure out what to do for Chapter 9 of my novel.

Boomerang by Imagine Dragons, and This Isn’t the End by Owl City.

Heck yes, about 20″ of it. Last week we had a warm day at – 23° 😮 we are usually in the teens this time of year, though.

The rest of the series is garbage, but that first one is a refreshing read. It is a light story of friendship and mystery, and dragons.

I am! Three years and one to to go! Are you?

And thanks for the welcome everyone! I tale it I’m part of a guild now? I’m slightly confused.

The fog flows around me,

Engulfing the world in opal white;

I step carefully, unable to see

The trees beyond my rifle sights.

A slip and a tumble,

Madly I grab at the roots

As small rocks rumble down

Into the ravine beneath my boots

@h- jones

The sonnet is 14 lines: each set of four lines alternates rhyme, I.e.

‘I see the the sun setting,

Turning golden red,

It makes me start a-fretting,

And gruesome thoughts run in my head.’

All three sets don’t need the same rhyme.

Lines 13 & 14 don’t have to rhyme with each other or the previous line as far as I…[Read more]

What magic does it hold for you? What form do you prefer, and why?

I write poetry as a means to keep myself writing when the energy for my book lags. It gives me a little space to breathe in the deep waters of story.

I started out with free verse, and that worked for a while. I’ve written over twenty poems that way. But…[Read more]

Twin villains, acting for one goal but on separate people

Twins, one good, one bad, good trying to oust evil (plus mix-up, betrayed trust, etc.)

One villain, known to 2 people in separate settings, masquerading as a good guy to one of them.
