Yep, and he is now my favorite. He sounds just like me...
I really want to start reading your story, but I just can't find the time...

Yeah, I have a pretty messed up personality, as well.
And that's true. I found a really good time to read it, so I'll probably start pretty soon.

Only just got 'round to reading this! I had no idea Orion is human, I thought he belonged to the same species as Morgan.
So...is "age" the same as years here on Earth, or is magic keeping him looking younger than 76?
Typical mysterious guy with a huge problem that he desperately wants to keep secret - I'm hoping to play on this fact!

I like how you are drawing, really. And I know that feeling, when you've got that story in your head and it just has to come out. Only you make that look a little better than I do, I am NEVER satisfied with those scraps. And if I write something down, it's just fragments and never a continuing story.
You said you were dutch? If so, you are amazing in English (as far as i can say, I am no native speaker either) and incredibly courageous to write in that language. Wow.
Sorry for spamming
Hehe, i want to read your story and good luck with it! I hope you have the endurance, motivation and inspiration to complete your trilogy!

Thank you very much! I love spam like this
I'm surprised how long it could stay in my head, really... but when you write down the first words the rest just follows like water that breaks through a dam It's impossible to stop, until everything is written down!
hihi, I mostly got fragments too... but if you have enough fragments, they'll start to make a story eventually. That's how it works for me. So what are you working on? (I'm not curious at all...)
hihi, yes - and the funny thing is that I actually prefer writing in English. I tried to write down the story in Dutch first, but that somehow didn't work. I could describe things quite well (and went into too much detail with that) but dialogues were impossible. I 'hear' my characters speak English, so it was much easier to write down those dialogues in that language. It's pretty weird...
Ahh, thank you very much! I'm afraid I only have a few chapters uploaded here, but I hope more will come! I'm a slow writer though... please be patient
endurance, motivation and inspiration are certainly here (my characters will not leave me alone, ha!) the only thing I need more of is time :')

Great, let's spam a little!
Yes, I know that, you just sit there and write, until your fingers hurt, your computer burns and people come and ask what you are doing all the time I just hope that thing with the fragments will work for me. Is it weird to have a whole bunch of characters, a world, but not yet a story? To just follow them to their adventures like a watching ghost, but not like the person who actually invents them? I often feel like some historian who randomly stumbles upon loose pages of a big chronicle, they just fly by when I walk. But there's no real concept yet. I can tell you some things though. It will sound very random and not overly creative, i fear.
THe whole story is about a girl who trains to be a warrior. She has that talent for fighting but she really is afraid of having to kill people. Once she and a friend protect two elven wizards on a voyage, but they are attacked by some dark power. She and the young wizard are the only survivors, they have to find their way back through the wilderness without any supplies. This adventure makes them close friends, although they first hated each other. And then there's lots of crap happening while they want to find out who assaulted them. Plus, they - first unwillingly - start to gather an army of all kinds of desperate people as they become famous.
And then there's another place of events, where a small street kid finds a protector in person of some grumpy knight. And many other ideas still float in my head.
Really? that's funny. Sometimes I also think that things are easier said or written in English. But a whole story? You can be proud of that.
Oh, but I won't be patient! I just can't! Sorry, bookworm syndrome.
okay, i wish you LOTS of time then.

SPAAAAAAM!!! bring it on!
mwhaha! I hope you still come outside enough for people to remember your face
and that sounds exactly how I work! Just set your characters free into the world, and see what happens. I tried to write down the plot, but it didn't work. Characters just don't stick to it. Oh well...
What happened to me is that I just wrote fragments that take place at various points in the story, simply because I liked what takes place there (I never write in chronological order). However, later I use those fragments as an aiming point for the chapters that happen before them. So I know for example that character A will end up in a fight with character B, which causes their story lines to split. That makes it easier to write the chapter before it, since I know what will happen and I can prepare my characters for their fight. But yeah, it does make me forget that there should be some sort of a big plot, not a bunch of small ones.
Nah, I like the concept of your story! It's hard to come up with something original these days... I know my story isn't XD I especially like the huge contrast of your main character - a warrior not fond of killing. Wonderful! You can have a lot of fun with that!
You can ask yourself why that dark force attacks them (I guess you already did), and use that to create some sort of concept. Your main characters and that army of desperate people can fight it - though that is not much of a creative plot... but there is a reason it's not creative - readers love it! The whole good vs. evil battle thing works like a charm not sure how the kid and the grumpy knight can be part of this, but there must be a role they can fulfil.
oh dear... well, I'm doing NaNoWriMo at the moment, so that gives me a big boost in word count the manuscript is so crappy though - clearly focussed on quantity, not quality!

Ooh, that's a very interesting story you have for him, and I really like the texture in the background-
Is the story you are telling going to be in a book or some other form, cause I wanna hear it!-

thank you very much! And it's going to be a book, I hope. Or better; a trilogy. lol, I am ambitious XD I started writing it in Dutch. that went quite well, but I noticed that I liked to make long, elaborate sentences that described everything. That's great for world building, but it made the story really slow... So I gave it a second try, in English this time, so that I can upload it on DA one day. I thought my English was ok; I was wrong! my vocabulary wasn't as big as I thought -_- The sentences became much shorter, which paced up the story a bit too much. I am searching for a balance between the Dutch and the English version, so I am rewriting it a lot. Besides, the plot is made out of holes XD I'll upload chapters of it one day on DA, but I first need to fix/finish a lot. And find the courage to upload it, heheh.

Hmm, well I suppose there is a big difference between English and dutch, but I'm sure you can work it out-

queenofeagles In reply to Otterwillow [2015-02-06 09:28:53 +0000 UTC]
It's hard when English grammar becomes more strict than Dutch; for example, there is no difference between the present perfect and the past simple in Dutch, you can use both without changing the meaning of the sentence. I know this difference, but there is more stuff like that which I do not know that well. And my vocabulary lets me down quite often

Hmm, having looked at other languages, I can honestly say English is really needlessly complicated to be honest when it comes to most things-
I'm sure you can work it all out though-
