Indeed I did! XD A fine and proud name it tis! My other favorite name is “Valdunar” who is her adoptive father, mentor, guardian, lord of knights, and general. He was once her father’s greatest rival and a great friend. He was blessed by her dying father to raise her and her siblings as he would have his own late daughters. It first he…[Read more]

Yesss! and Amen! I love the name. It is very similar to the latin word “veritas” Meaning ” Truth is mighty and will prevail” Amen! to that as well.
Thanks! Means a lot! I randomly thought it up with a random name as I was trying to think of unique plants for my world. There are other amazing plants that seem like a treasure. They…[Read more]

I like it! I could see some awesome Christian themes coming from that on the importance of truth and who or what defines what is true.

Thanks! and to yours as well 🙂
Yeah it can be intimidating, I use some history books that analyze historical battles and the use of the troops. Agree that would be interesting. I have read some novels that referred to the battle like it was currently happening or the results of a past battle and focused on others aspects that were…[Read more]

I am slowly finishing book 1 due to work.
Thanks! I have enjoyed reading battles and sometimes have this feeling of thrill when you know the rightful reasons why this battle is being fought and that the bad guys are going to served proper justice. I have become decent at describing the scene as a whole as I love military strategy and…[Read more]

Yeah, it is but I can’t imagine a more exciting goal. So far I am guessing the first two series will be as long as the ranger’s apprentice that is 16 novels long……… that’s not including the side novels. XD Lol
Yessss! Lord willing I hope to publish it!
XD Lol Thanks! The scene I dream of writing one day, is when the princess…[Read more]

yeah photo is probably a good example of something that hugs the body and would not be a hinderance when running.

Joshua Scheele replied to the topic Worldbuilding Advice & Feedback Needed in the forum Research and Worldbuilding 2 years, 5 months ago
Yeah that is a good question to consider as it is a working progress. I thought it would be more practical to not have a coin purse due to their tasks that primarily entail fighting (predators for example) where they are often rolling and wrestling. I figured they could have a special satchel that does not dangle or jangle causing…[Read more]

Hey Everyone!
I have busy working out the mechanics of my story’s world that heavily depend on a symbiotic relationship between humans/humanoids with mostly 4 legged intelligent creatures like talking dragons, wolves, gryphons, giant cats, and etc (similar to narnia). Since these 4 legged creatures, can’t realistically carry money around, I was…[Read more]

Call center work is sooo under rated. XD It has been eating all my creative energy trying to solve other peoples’ near impossible problems. I also had some writer block as I needed to rethink my story’s 1st act. I was forcing myself to cram in too many characters and worldbuilding details. I finally think I am onto something now as it…[Read more]

Hi Josh! Thank you so much for the welcome!
My favorite genres to read are historic fiction, biography, and non-fiction (like devotionals and personal development books). To write would definitely be historic and Christian fiction. I’m currently beginning to work on a historic fiction (possibly a trilogy). It doesn’t quite have a tit…[Read more]

Joshua Scheele replied to the topic How long is too long for an epic battle scene? in the forum Fantasy Writers 2 years, 9 months ago
It is a bit long for a battle but I totally understand your passion to make them epic. Battles scenes often become my favorite scenes when I can connect with the emotions and passion of the characters of what they are fighting for and why they must win. Once I connect and I read/hear their battle cries, it gives me the chills as I…[Read more]
