Steward of the Pen

@j-a-penrose I hate writing short stories for school, because there’s always a pathetically small word count that I have to work with o-o

@taylorclogston I published the first one last year in January, but it definitely wasn’t ready for it. I’ve been rewriting it, and the story has transformed ever since then. I’m planning on republishing the…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen That was amazing; I got goosebumps at the end! Great job!

@steward-of-the-pen Ooooh yay! I’m looking forward to being able to read Dahop’s Ember! (and good luck!)

It is indeed…Hence I’m totally rewriting it over the next two weeks. </3

I wrote the first 12 chapters of the first book in my Epic Fantasy Series, Bloodstone. 😀 Only reached 26K, but hey, that’s something with all of the chaos of life.

@steward-of-the-pen Ahhh yep.

Typically, second person is treated like first person; You’re allowed to have a flow of thoughts, and direct contact with the world around. Show don’t tell typically involves the same rules as first person as well. Second person also is addressing the reader, so tends to be in present tense.

That at all helpful?…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen

Second person is ‘you.’

They whisper your name in the realms of myths and ledgend. ‘Child of the moon, spirit of the moon.’ And yet, none of them know who you truly are. Every time you take a step, your enemy rears up against you with swords drawn and savage words slicing.

And yet, you feel the greeting of an Autumn breeze…

@steward-of-the-pen If I ever find a solution, I’ll let you know =P This is exactly how I feel.

I used to be productive when I worked part time and got home at noon. Since I switched to full time work, I feel emotionally exhausted at the end of the day and usually can’t get much done.

I’ve tried getting up earlier, but that means sacrificing…[Read more]

Those of y’all who have been praying about this, thank you so much, but if I could ask y’all to please be praying again, today is the last day for Jeff Leach to call a vote on HB896. If they don’t vote on…[Read more]

Thanks everyone for the feedback!

@steward-of-the-pen I’m afraid I’m going to push back on the bit about Randy’s introduction. This a situation where it is imperative we get a solid and unambiguous picture of the narrator’s perception of the character, and that we get it quickly. It’s a situation where we have no opportunity for further…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen Oh yes! It’s worth it 😀

@steward-of-the-pen Thank you for your prayer. I’m grateful you were able to find encouragement in it. And thanks for any continued help you can offer!

@evelyn @ariella-newheart

As we got the announcement of the SE contest today, I’ve decided to submit this to the contest rather than just for SE submission. The only problem is the contest word…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen You’re back to the Alpha Saga?? Yay! I’m so excited!

@taylorclogston Sounds like an amazing way to be identified. xD

I’ll be praying that it goes well!

@steward-of-the-pen I ended up liking Thomas well enough in the end, but in general I felt he lacked selflessness for way too long. It was a matter of unlikability and not hatability for me. I had sympathy for Thomas, but very little empathy.

And yeah, I probably will put up a post after SE does all theirs. Who knows, maybe I’ll have changed my…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen Thanks so much for the feedback!

Before I edited it down, there was about 1500 more words of the story that were extremely memoiry and retrospective, mostly in the section in the beginning. We got a bit more of a sense of who the narrator is now, decades after the fact, but I decided it wasn’t necessary to the story and I…[Read more]

Hey guys! Word counts in by…[Read more]
