Update: A New Start for Scribe's Realm

As a full-time employee, I hardly have time to handle Scribe's Realm and write my stories. But! My artistic wife has agreed to help me, which means from now on, you should see more posts and some writings (we hope).

We are very excited about our plans with Scribe's Realm and we are busy implementing them already. Here is what is coming your way this month.

New Logo Design

This is Scribe's Realm logo. We believe it brings forth what we want for Scribe's Realm: fantasy with a little touch of olden times.

As I mentioned before (here), I want a complete new look for Scribe's Realm. We (this term will be used from now on for my wife and I) decided on a colour theme and our new logo is finally done.

Photo of the Week Posts

Every week, on Thursday (if we can stick to it), we will put up a photo of the week. We love photography and we have been learning new skills to take better photos. We hope that you will enjoy these photos, as much as we enjoy taking them.

Scribe's Realm is a Little more Social

We are now on Facebook, DeviantArt and Instagram. We have a few interesting ideas planned out for these sites.

DeviantArt

You might find some creative, manipulated photos here together with drawings of our book characters, random creative writing pieces, full stories and vintage print and digital designs. Watch us here.

If you would like to see more of our photos and use them for your own ideas, we do either allow downloads or sell them as prints on DeviantArt, too.

Instagram

We make a point to take plenty of photos and many of these will end up on Instagram for you to view. See how we see the world and the Spanish landscape. You follow us here.

Facebook

This is where you can like us and become our friend. We would much appreciate it!

Further, you can still find us on Twitter, Google+, Pinterest and Niume. We have plenty more brewing, such as building our castle, more on this later. We are very excited to share our stories and more with you.

Talk again soon!

Grammar Geek: Is It Believe In, Believe On or Believe That?

Since last week's post was on believe or belief , I decided to ask whether it's believe in , believe on or believe that . All of these are correct and do get used. The questions are when, where, why and how. Here it is in what I hope is the simplest way to explain it and the easiest way to remember it. Believe In and Believe That Correlation A certain professor, H. H. Price , came to the conclusion that there is a difference between believe in and believe that . To him, it came down to this, “Surely belief-in is an attitude to a person, whether human or divine, while belief-that is just an attitude to a proposition?” This makes perfect sense considering the words in and that . Personally, in sounds a lot more involved and personal, whereas that seems distant. Get that away from me. Come on in . That might just be me though. However, this view might make things easier. What if this thinking was indeed the correct manner? To believe in someone is ...

Grammar Geek: When to Use Who or Whom

When to use who or whom can be either complicated or simplistic. It is always best to know the rules and thus the complicated version before you go for the easy, cheat version. This way, you will know you are right, every time. When to Use Who or Whom: Know your Grammar The complicated version calls for our memories of English grammar classes; those classes we slept through. To know who and whom , you need to know their place in the English language. Welcome back to your English class. Study hard! Who and Whoever: The Subjective Pronouns "Subjective pronouns" sounds more dramatic than it needs to. In a less wordy manner, who and whoever are subjects in a sentence. When I was in school, I was taught that the subject is the one doing the action. The verb of the sentence is this "action". Here are some examples: Who knows the answer? Who will go to class? The purple is the subject, as it is the one doing the action. The action (verb) is in gold. Sadly...

Word Wise: Is It Dreamt or Dreamed?

Hmm, is it dreamt or dreamed ? This is once again one of those cases where people can't help but get confused. My spellchecker for one, tells me that dreamt is a spelling mistake. Yet, many of you have heard of both these forms. Both are after all the past tense of dream. Of Dreams I Dreamt Dreamt is just as acceptable as dreamed . Merriam Webster has both these forms under dream. This can be considered as a little strange, as few words have two past tenses. But, even when it is acceptable, dreamt isn't used as much as dreamed . Dreamt is used about 7 times less in American English than dreamed , whereas dreamt in British English is used only 2.5 times less than dreamed . See it here and here on an ngram graph. Still, the point stands that dreamt drew the short end of the straw. It is clear that it is used more in British English than in American English. Does this make dreamt the British version? I Dreamed...
