OOooh, holy beans this was awesome writing!!! I really love how you captured that... indescribable 'vibe' of the old... UGH. I suck at words today. I read a lot of historical fiction and I just love it when a writers captures the whole entire essence of the time period.
I feel like I'm still not getting my point across, but I loved it :)
As always, Thursdays are my day to help @mariannewest deliver the prompts, so on that note… here I am with my crazy scattered thoughts to deliver Today’s Daily Prompt:Tree for the freewrite. Feel free to join us if you have the time and thank you for joining us today! It is such an awesome community to be a part of and now we have a new page with contests, new challenges and even more community:
It warms my heart to know that you enjoyed the story Byn! I've not written much outside of a modern setting so your comment really means a lot to me. Thank you so much! 💜
I really loved it. I LOVE historical fiction and have really wanted to write some, but for some reason I'm hesitant to really give it a try. I'm afraid of missing the boat... even though I have read more of that than anything else (and even teaching history to my kids made me LOVE history as well)
Instead I write the stuff that I never read/watch, go figure!
I think that you'll be aces once you dive in! Since you've read so much I imagine that you'll have a high standard for how you want your piece to turn out. (Though, you know the drill, don't be critical.) Hell, all of your stuff is top notch. I bet that when you do write a period story, it'll be rich with realism and the grit of times forgotten. Giving the past your Byn touch is something I really want to read now!
