Steward of the Pen

@steward-of-the-pen

Nice to meet you. 🙂

The Reckoners series (Steelheart, Firefight, and Calamity) is a really good series (honestly, I like most of Sanderson’s works). If you love fantasy, I’d highly recommend the original Mistborn Trilogy (Books 1 through 3) as a good starting point for Sanderson’s fantasy works (though The Way of Kings is a…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen I will be taking a break from editing to finish “Fire Moon” in for Nanowrimo in July. After that, I don’t know if I’ll be able to do much writing or editing.

As for my first book, hopefully next summer I can begin the process of publishing. I don’t know exactly what that will entail, but I’ll worry about it when I get there.…[Read more]

@azeline-d I really like the snippet you wrote about the leaf! The description and word choices are just lovely. And the girl in the snippet reminds me of myself, strangely enough. xD I think the French would be “vous êtes belle, érable.”

@steward-of-the-pen I love the idea of focusing on a grandmother’s hands and her sacrificial service. I’m j…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose Hey, thanks! Actually, I’ve been around, just been silently going through old topics and catching up on old lessons while learning to get around this huge forum. xD But thanks! It’s great to be back in the action again!

@steward-of-the-pen Oh wow, I love that quote. So you want to go for leaves? How’s something like this? This is s…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen – That is an awesome idea. Like the cord of a necklace, or the chain of a watch, or maybe the box where the object is put when not in use.

@selah-chelyah Oooh! Yeah, I’d love to check it out. Can’t promise I’ll be able to read it all very quickly (busy life keeps me from reading often times) but when I do, I’ll let you know!

All your stories sound super fun and unique! So do your characters! Could you tell me more about Unquenchable, if you’re comfortable with that? It sounds super…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart Yassss. I love the idea of actually having to look for the thing that’s beautiful. Little details. Small things. And I hope life becomes less chaotic soon!

@elisha-starquill Yassss, you’re thinking on a similar wave-length to me.

@steward-of-the-pen Oooooh yes yes. Cool ideas. (but omw, the pizza one made me spit out my chai.…[Read more]

Update on editing.

My deadline is currently set for Friday (the 21st) and I have just a few chapters until I’m done. My word count is just over 60K, which is a little concerning because I started out at 100K. The most recent chapters have needed a LOT of editing for clarity and conciseness. I think I can make it to the end by the deadline, though…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen 😀 Awesome! And honestly, it’s the characters that they write that really pulls me to their books. It’s not really plot-wise what happens (Though the plot can be super thick and that adds so much to it!) but it’s the characters striving for different goals, and forming friendships, and growing like real people would, that…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen – Nice, that does seem relatively easy! And you don’t have to walk her. xD Blu sounds adorable. I think I might get a parrotlet, if I can convince my parents of their joys and benefits. 😛 What kind of sounds does she make? Can she talk?

@j-a-penrose – Mainly for piano, because I’m the most comfortable with it and I love it so…[Read more]

Results are up! We didn’t do so well this time, but we did know that. 😉 A fair few people didn’t get their counts in on time, and those of us who did, didn’t write a ton. Myself well and truly included.

But guess what, guys? There’s a good chance that we’ll have a word war in July when we’re Camp NaNo-ing to absolutely thrash the other guilds!…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen Nice to meet you as well! ^_^

I don’t get to do as much reading as I used too, but some of my favorite authors are Eoin Colfer, J.K. Rolling, Rick Riorden, ect. I tend to really enjoy that fantasy/mythical type books. But, those are all from when I was much younger. What really inspires me to write now are the TV shows and…[Read more]

Wow, I apologize, ya’ll, I totally dropped off the face of the earth there. <:( I’m gonna DM ya’ll back to make more room in this thread! 😉

@noodle-mum OHMIGOSH ALLI YOU JOINED!!!! *runs around screaming and throwing confetti* Welcome to the wondrous world of Story Embers!! I see you already met my good friend Ariel Ashira. Fun fact. She’s the one who did the cover art for The Cry of the Lost. She and Selah Chelyah are both amazing peeps. *nodnod* As is Ariella Newheart. Have you…[Read more]
