Re: Boots

I have a size 9.5. So, my feet are too short. But at EEEE, mine may be wider. :lol:

Re: Ember. A non LOTR offering

Well, I was about to post the next part of this chapter, but I realized I still need to do some editing. Shoot. :oops: It's a little late tonight for me to get onto it. tomorrow, after I work on my resume for a while, I'll try to get it edited.

Re: Updates for Vendor-Members

It's time to step back into the forums for real this time. I'm posting a link to my forge's Facebook page. Once I can revive my YouTube channel, I'll post a link to it as well.

Re: Ember. A non LOTR offering

Thanks everyone. There is still some refinement to do. It's a long way from being sent to an agent. Ember is a part of a much greater world where my writing will be set. If you remember Thorbed from a previous story or two, I gave him his own story, which is a part of the same world, but a different...

Re: Ember. A non LOTR offering

It needs work. but I intend to submit it for publication. I think in trilogies now, so this is the first of a trilogy featuring Martel. A comical note about when I wrote the part where Martel broke the guard's nose: My professor for the class in which I submitted this story was a young lady - probab...

Ember. A non LOTR offering

Here are the opening lines from the first chapter of the new novel I started while in college. I will try to give some commentary on its creation and the process after the story: Martel seethed as he looked down at the few gold coins in his palm. He stood outside the Captain’s tent counting the coin...

.... are there any pieces from your classes you're especially proud of?
I started a new novel by accident. :lol: I'm only five chapters into it and it needs refinement, but I may be enticed to post a bit of it

Re: Please Read This Post

Thank you everyone! Yeah, so two years ago, I went back to school. I did this on top of working 40-45 hours a week, and dealing with several disabilities, not the least annoying of which was excessive fatigue. But I fought through and made it. I graduated from Southern New Hampshire University with ...

Re: Happy Birthday Eric

Thanks, Peter for bringing this to the forum's attention. And thank you to everyone for the warm birthday wishes. I worked on my birthday, but I took the next day off to prepare for my trip to New Hampshire.

Why so rough?

Hail and well met! At present, I'm recovering from an auto accident that happened this past Monday. A guy pulled across in front of me while Elyon and I were going to work. No serious injuries, but the truck was totaled. I took a trip to the ER and got checked out. Now all of the bruising and sorene...

Re: Morgul Blade.

Late to the party again. I pictured them as more of a Misericorde, the "Mercy knife" used by knights of the 12th to 15th centuries. Their function was to kill fallen men as quickly and (hopefully) painlessly as possible. I suppose that fits in with 'Made for a noble purpose and corrupted ...

Re: About Elvish Culture

Hmm, interesting. I believe there is definite merit for your ideas. I think leaf-bladed double-edged blades and recurved single-edged blades would suit an Elf well. I will study your post better when I get off work today.
