Thank you! So I learned about story enders through my cousin. She is a writer, and is working on an amazing book right now! I have been obsessed with book since I could read and have only grown in appetite for them! I have had an idea for a story and my cousin encouraged me to attempt it! My favorite…[Read more]

Hi Joshua, thank you! So what is the Forum signature?

Hi Kayla!  I do remember you, and I’m glad you’re back!

What’s your WIP about?  Do you have any favorite books?  What are some of your favorite crafts?
That’s really cool that you’re learning to knit!  I never learned to knit, but it does seem fun (and practical.)

I think that SE is…unfortunately rather inactive at the moment.  I think that…[Read more]

@storysmith

Sorry for the months-long disappearance. 😅

That’s a really neat (and thorough) history! Thank you for sharing!

LOL

Nice! I love seeing plots inextricably linked to/derived from the worlds they live in; it makes the whole thing feel much more purposeful.

Cool!

Nah, you’re fine. Worldbuilding rambles are fun, whether you’re…[Read more]

@storysmith for some reason, it didn’t like the fact that I wanted to post a picture of Kerwin. So here’s take 2 of that!

@storysmith You’re welcome!!

Oh that’s a cool name too! So what changed him from Sylvie’s father’s rival to his close friend? What happened to his wife and girls? 😥 That’s really sweet that he gets to raise the princess and her siblings – I can see those scenes being so gripping and also tender.

I have 2 little kids planned out for a future…[Read more]

@storysmith Technology! *glares at my laptop* Oh okay! You’re good.

@storysmith

I got your reply notification in my email but when I go to respond here on SE it’s GONE. *reply vanishes into thin air* No clue why!! Ummm maybe if you could edit it and re-tag me? *sorry*

@storysmith

👍🏻👍🏻 One of my new favorite verses 🙂

YES!! *bounces up and down* *regains composure* Oh yes, THANK YOU!!

Wait, you were the one who came up with that name? Did I read that right? Well BRAVO!! (yeah, I blame Tolkien for the fact that Medieval fantasy is all I write XD) Aaww little kids are so CUTE!! I want to hug them…[Read more]

@storysmith

Yes!! I LOVE IT TOO! I found it in Psalm 111:7 “The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.” and I loved it!!

You’re so welcome! Honestly you gave me chills too…. Is most of your climate/world winter/tundra? Seriously, all this detail is just 😲😊🤩🤗!!! *still working on getting my brain to think…[Read more]

@storysmith

Thank you! I feel like in this day and age everyone is so mixed up when it comes to defining truth. (“What’s true for you may not be true for me” kind of thing) But only God defines truth!!!

I also decided to name my MC “Verity” because that means truth which is the main theme of the book. She’s a redheaded spitfire who is…[Read more]

@storysmith

Hmmm I never thought of doing that before! That’s a really good idea! Writing a battle form the perspective of the aftermath, on the other hand, seems like it would be my way to go! 🙂

I need to go buy it now! XD

Okay well, when you said different religions, I could see this story where everyone is forced by the leaders into…[Read more]

@storysmith

👍🏻👍🏻 All the best on your writing!!

Best kind of thrill!! Or one of the best 🙂 I do better with smaller groups of people as opposed to large-scale battles. Mostly by that I mean two people fighting each other. I think I get kinda intimidated by the larger stuff. I am clueless when it comes to battle techniques….my poor…[Read more]

@storysmith

Oh wow!! That is so cool! Where are you in the process? (What book?)

You’re very welcome!

WOW. !!!! 😲🤩🤗

*blinks at screen and rereads*

That sounds sooo cool! Battles are my *ahem* weakness in writing, and yours sounds amazing. How does the design on her crown look?

Again. WOW. It sounds you put a ton of time and thought…[Read more]

@storysmith

Not to cancel the bartering concept, ’cause that’s neat, but why couldn’t intelligent creatures wear some sort of satchel or belt (belt would probably work better since it could be kept closer to the body and not get in the way of moving legs) with a money bag attached?

How would tickets/tokens not have the same carrying needs as…[Read more]

@storysmith

Hello, Josh!

Yes it is! (Except for when it spills 😂) Some of my favorites are the Chai Wallah chai and Twinings honeybush-mandarin-orange.

That WIP sounds really cool. It’s like a mashup of all my brother’s favorite things!

Yes, I believe music is important in stories. People are musical, so it makes things so much deeper and more…[Read more]

IM HERE IM HERE NO ONE PANIC!

@devastate-lasting

Ey, nice job! It’s good to set a goal for yourself. Right now I’ve been trying to write three pages a day, and it’s pretty much all trash, but I’m glad it’s getting done. Well, it was. Until finals happened 😭.

Thanks! Yes, goals are quite helpful and a thousand a day isn’t too overwhelm…[Read more]

@storysmith

Yeah, one of my favorite Missionary autobiographies is Evidence Not Seen, but it’s been years since I read it. We moved my dad had to get rid of a lot of his books and I think that was one of them because I was supposed to grab anything I wanted and there were so many! I’ve gotta order a copy of it for myself sometime, but I remember…[Read more]
