Do your characters tend to be more extraverted or introverted?
I’d like to say that I have a pretty good mix of both, as the contrast between characters adds nice dynamics, but after a little thought it might not be as equal as I thought.When I first started writing, most of my characters were more on the extraverted side, but since then it’s k…[Read more]

@lydia-s There’s one book series I really loved called the Lost Island of Tamarind by Nadia Aguiar and it has some great sibling relationships, as well as really creative world building in general. I really loved it, although personally I’d rate it pg-13 for violence (and I think a d-word) but it wasn’t too bad. (If you’ve ever watched Lord of the…[Read more]

Oh, awesome! I’ll have to pop in and do that. Thank you so much for letting me know! 🙂 <333
Agh, yessss… I honestly can’t think of that many books that include siblings, let alone in a positive manner. Which is honestly very, very sad. :'(

Hello, my friend! Hope you’re doing well. 🙂 Idk if you remember the AIO podcast chat page, but Naomi from there was wondering about you. Here’s the link (https://www.adventuresinodyssey.com/podcast/video-podcast-avery-awards-team-edition-best-moment-in-the-studio/), but no pressure to hop on if it’d be stressful!

Lydia S. replied to the topic Fairytale Retellings in the forum Genre-Writing 4 years, 5 months ago
Exactly! I’m hoping to be able to work my writing into this next school year. It would be a whole lot easier to stay in touch with my stories if I was required to and earned high school credits off of it. XD
Hahaha, I feel you!!! Apple maps is the same way, unfortunately. I guess Madagascar isn’t the worst place to end up, though.…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic What's Your Favorite Relationship Type in Fiction? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 5 months ago
Woah. I thought I had written a lot of sibling relationships, but I can honestly say you’ve beaten me.
And yeah, two friends so close they could be brothers pretty much counts as brothers in my eyes.
Since you have written many brother relationships, have you written any sister relationships in your stories? And if you…[Read more]

This is amazing. I love how you painted such a strong image in just a few lines.
How long have you been writing poetry for? Also, have any tips for a beginner? You know, asking for a friend lol.

@lydia-s GIRL sameeeee. That’s the good stuff right there XD I absolutely love it. I try to include good sibling relationships into my books because it’s so rare in fiction sadly ;-;

How cool! I actually haven’t read anything from those authors yet. Hopefully, I can do that during my senior year. 🙂
Ooo, exciting!!! I’m probably too late to submit a question, but I hope you got a bunch. 🙂 I can’t wait to see where you take this novel, girl! <333
I’m going to echo what…[Read more]

BTW, I want to clarify I don’t mean anything snarky or judgmental by my last paragraph. It was intended to be solely factual. Just in case it came across wrong. XP

It was not my intention to leave this for two months before responding… Sorry for the delay. XP
Peterson’s writing improved significantly throughout the series. Is it disappointing that the hook isn’t his best work? Sure. But short of him backtracking to rewrite the entire first book so that it’s on par with…[Read more]

R.M. Archer replied to the topic Calling all bloggers! in the forum Publishing & Platform 4 years, 6 months ago
Like Issabelle said, just ask! I recommend having some topics in mind that you could write about for them or that you’d like them to write about on your blog, since a lot of bloggers don’t know what other authors’ audiences would be interested in or aren’t sure what to write about for someone else vs. for their own blog. This was definitely a…[Read more]

First, I just wanna say that I’m SO enjoying your blog! It’s like, AMAZING!
I don’t blog (yet), so I’m pretty much in the same boat as you. XD
BUT I think I can hopefully answer your question about getting people to comment on your posts. For me, as a reader I feel the most encouraged to comment when the blogger ends the…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic Find my characters Want/Goal in the forum Characters 4 years, 6 months ago
Well, one option would be that his goal is to confess to his crush or find a way for his crush to confess to him. Depending on what kind of guy he is.
Another option would be that his goal is to get away from his father. Whether that be earning enough money to buy a place away from his home, or to run away.
He could have both…[Read more]

Lydia S. replied to the topic How do you draft/write the "first" document? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 6 months ago
Ah, this is embarrassingly late, but here I am anyway! 😉
My drafting process is a bit odd. Generally, I know how the story begins, and I know how the story or even series ends. Random scenes from the middle pop into my head at random times, but most of it is pretty blurry. The story usually works itself out on its own. I just…[Read more]
