The Priest's Prayer
by =Amriah

Workshop: He was the Nail In that moment, Raanmir was the nail he forced into the wood, methodically driven downward. The other nails felt just as dejected every time the hammer slammed onto their surface. Yet, they knew the blacksmith that created them was not better or worse than the carpenter shaping the wood. Without all the nails, each barn, home, harbor, and pier would not stand. Without the nails' unbending presence, the face of elfin civilization changed. Raanmir was the nail he forced into the wood, pointed and sharp. He bided his time and, waitin Workshop: He was the Nail

My most in-depth story to date. Please keep in mind that the first two were created a year ago and the plot has greatly changed since then.

Faerín and Raanmir were born as slaves. Forced to serve the elf nobility, they have no hope. However, they carry a great burden that could help give others hope. This is the story of their journey through despair, happiness, and danger.

Intimate Journey Information

Warriors with a Pen released its first book last Friday and I am really excited! I hope that this story of healing will help others on their journey.
Introduction to the book

John went to live with his aunt to start over again. There he met the love of his life and the mystery of the gift within. &

I have a publishing business named Warriors with a Pen. This is the information about its first book, Intimate Journey: Battle Scars

The Realm Within: Chapter 1

The Realm Within Book I: The Eternal Struggle Chapter I: Determination

Another night in this pathetic world and I will likely go insane! Ramiel flexed his wings. I’m one of the strongest Reapers in Anrya so why did the Malevolent One give me and Varkael this assignment? This is a job for a Watcher, not me. Sitting on the rooftop of an old two-story house, he resigned himself to cowering in the darkness like a thief waiting for his mark. The nighttime air desperately clung to his tan face as he wiped it away and looked do

My first full-fledged novel idea. I put it on the back-burner because I wanted to improve my writing before I continued on with it.

The Laprun Trials Harimad-sol's performance during yesterday's laprun trials astounded me. Throughout her brief training, I feared her Homelander ways would make her inadequate. She cut my worries in two as we wove in and out of the other Hill riders. Like a deadly cobra, she struck at the sashes of her enemies. Blues, greens, and golds fell to the sand as Harimad progressed.
My heart pounded and my nostrils flared. My hooves thundered over the desert, banishing my opponents to the dust The Laprun Trials

Contest Entry: Christmas Unity My family loves Christmas. Most years, my aunt Joan records the whole event: my two cousins and I walking into the room to discover newfound presents under an ornament-laden tree; the three of us ripping paper in delight and excitement; my grandmother, uncle, and mother watching us with big smiles, content with their secret labor as Santa's elves. Sometimes, we find those old tapes and laugh, remind each other of how we used to act, and recall the past. Christmas, with its bright decorations and multi-colored strings of lights around the house and windows, brings unity Contest Entry: Christmas Unity

My newest deviations. Most of them are experimental or rough drafts of pieces that I want to improve on. Trying out different styles and such. I hope you enjoy them.

I love to write, read, play guitar, and hang out/play around with my fiancé. Stories flow out of my head and onto paper constantly! I'm engaged, love the sound of waves crashing against the rocks, and the feeling of the wind against my face.

Simply put, I am me.

Warriors with a Pen's New Site!

of labor on this template. This site builder was a pain, but it was worth it. The old site design was also red, but it wasn't as...sleek? I think that's the right word.

Some text is in black for some reason, so please point out where and how frequently if you can. Also--and I know this is shameless promotion--but Christmas is coming up soon. Intimate Journey is a good gift (again, shamelessly promoting my own stuff) for those who like poetry and those who can relate to the emotions conveyed in the poems. So, for $12.50, it might be a pretty cheap gift. Eh? So go check out Intimate Journey: Battle Scars.

Okay, I'll stop now.

Seriously though, tell me what you think of WP's new site. I put a lot of effort into it!

Love,
=Amriah

Book I've Found Helpful

Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer by Roy Peter Clark.
This book has helped me the most out of all the other reference books! It makes sense, explains in a concise way (or at least in a way I can understand), and is funny. What more can you ask for in a how-to-write book?

Painless Grammar by Rececca Elliot, PhD.
This is a middle school/high school grammar book. However, I've been reading through it and found that I have been making basic grammar mistakes all the time. This is a non-boring way to learn (or re-learn) the basics of grammar.

The Elements of Style by William Strunk, Jr.
This is the original Elements of Style, written in 1918. There are other, more recent copies (the later ones are written by William Strunk, Jr. and E. B. White) for sale but this one is online and free so enjoy.

_{I'll add more to this as my collection grows. This is the basics and more than enough material for the beginning (or intermediate) writer.}
