@writercatherine Wikia sounds pretty cool 🙂 Haha, Silveny is awesome! YES COUNCILLOR ALINA. *glares at her* And Lord Cassius. How dare he be such an awful father to Keefe. I just so happened to have book 4 as the book where I began having to wait for new books to come out… what an awful book cliffhanger! I just personally lean toward Keefe I…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose @steward-of-the-pen @evelyn Thanks for the vote of confidence! And excellent questions @writercatherine . My thoughts on those working with dragons is that while they might be seen as elite, how much depends really on the social context; a farmer who gets a new drake might be the talk of the town, like some guy who gets a new…[Read more]

@writercatherine YAY!!! Someone else who reads it!

I’ve read all of them and caught up to the timing of the releases shortly before book 4 came out. I’m so excited for Flashback! My sister and I have it preordered from Barnes and Noble (even though we live in Canada, where there is no Barnes and Noble) because there’s the special edition with…[Read more]

@writercatherine Wait, do you also read Keeper of the Lost Cities? 😃

@writercatherine Five brownies is always better than just one. 😉

Hello and welcome everybody!! How y’all doin’? What do y’all think of Story Embers thus far? (I’m literally typing in the dark and “far” almost got spelled as “fat”.) Anyways, I’m Cassie Hartfinh, and I love making new friends! Hope you guys are friendly! Well, I guess…[Read more]

Welcome to the Parimi team! It’s a pleasure to have you joining.

All Parimis: Yes, we’ve got some MORE guild members, but don’t worry! There’s a couple other developments coming up in a day or two  (because it feels weird for me to make important…[Read more]

@writercatherine, okay. Thanks!

I’ll have to probably check that thing of yours out tomorrow, because I have a time limit on Story Embers.

But anyway, what is your favorite thing to create?

@writercatherine Thank you. 🙂

I was thinking a little more about “The Rebellion” yesterday, and there was something I realized I wanted to clarify about the poem.
What I really liked about “The Rebellion” was the way the rhythm and rhyme worked together to make the poem flow well. I also liked the theme, which to me was discussing a Christian’s perseverance to…[Read more]

@writercatherine
I like the changes! 🙂
When I was reading through “The Rebellion,” I thought you might have made lines 17-18 a little too short with the new revisions. However, as I read them again I realized the sudden change in length actually adds to the mood. The rapid lines force the reader to think about what’s being said, draw the reader…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien and @writercatherine There are multiple ways to answer the riddle.  Hope was my original one, but there’s also love – which I like a lot.  Is it alright to have a few different answers?  Somehow, it doesn’t seem quite right.

The last stanza also seems like it might cause a bit of confusion as to what the answer might be.  Wou…[Read more]

@writercatherine
Hello Catherine! I enjoyed reading these poems you’ve posted! I’m not exactly the greatest with meter and scansion, but I hope I can still be of some assistance.

Overall, I think the meters of both your poems flowed fairly well. I liked the mood the short meter created in “The Rebellion” but also thought lines 8, 10, and 17 wer…[Read more]

@writercatherine I’m not too much of a worldbuilder: I fill out some questionnaires and figure out what I need to know for the plot. However, I wouldn’t recommend that method because it makes for some pretty stereotypical worlds and such 😛

However, there is one storyworld I have that I’ve gone really deep in, and I’ve found that the key is to…[Read more]

@writercatherine great topic! What @hope-ann said, obviously. 😉 Also I like to approach culture using four basic pillars: History, Religion, Geography, and Economy. Come up with a basic summary for each of those four and your culture is well-rounded and broad. All that remains is to develop each pillar more deeply and in better detail.

What I…[Read more]

@writercatherine I’ve heard of Cinder, but I’ve never read it. I like the Wingfeather Saga and the Ilyon Chronicles. Those books are awesome. 😀
