@devastate-lasting That’s cool! I’ve done a lot of genres myself… but I’m trying to get into more fantasy. But I’ll do pretty much anything.

@karissa-chmil I love your blog so much!! You did a great job on it.

@karissa-chmil

I love your blog! Had so much fun! Just read every single one of your posts.

So, perfect timing, Nadine Brandes and Sara Ella happen to be focusing on retellings in their webinar next month! There’s a $10 registration fee, but Nadine and Sara are always super helpful, they answer so many questions… Honestly, it’s worth a lot more than $10, in most cases if not all cases. XD And Nadine has written a couple of historical…[Read more]

OH MY GOSH YOU THOUGHT ABOUT TOO WITH ROBIN HOOD AND RED RIDING HOOD?!? ME TOO GIRL!!! In my series I had made them siblings!!! Robin had run away from home when Reddie was younger, moving to Nuodinghan.

Mine was all kinda interconnected like how Red’s father was actually the huntsman, from Snow White and red riding hood, and a…[Read more]

What if Rumplestiltskin wasn’t an old man? What if he was a younger man? What if it was a woman named Rumplestiltskin? What if he asked for a firstborn daughter instead of a son?

Just throwing ideas, please feel free to ignore all of them. I just find what if questions fun.😊

@devastate-lasting Yeah, I totally get that! I’m trying to complete some of the projects I have now so I can move on and have less to do.

What genre do you normally like writing in?

@karissa-chmil Yes, what happened was really sad! I’m also curious about your blog. I don’t remember if I’ve seen it or not, since I’m subscribed to so many blogs now lol.

@karissa-chmil Thank you!

@autumn-rebecca Yeah, it’s helped me grow so much, and in just a month too! My Writerscore went from 70 to 79 in the full time I’ve been there. I also love the lesson they’re doing for this month, it has been very empowering for me.

@devastate-lasting Thanks! Right now my favorite project to work on right now is my…[Read more]

@keilah-h

This is fun! And I’ve really enjoyed everyone else’s answers. @abigail-m , I can totally relate to Fitz Vacker thing! I love that book series, but Fitz made me so mad in the later few books. I’m definitely in teem Foster-Keefe, or Keephie, depends what we’re calling it.

Onto the questions and my answers!

Q: Is there a charact…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

The plot usually comes to me first, although it is shortly followed by characters. For my current WIP, the plot kind of came at the same time as the characters since I had always wanted to write a story with triplets who possessed special talents. My plot ideas, however, are what made me actually start writing the story. In general,…[Read more]

@keilah-h

1. Definitely! I know for a certain book series, I feel that way about both the main characters. XD

2. For pretty much everyone (except maybe Sauron… Or the White Witch…), I’d say #1. (I’m a big believer in redemption arcs…😉)

3. The morally worst villain I’ve ever read about would maybe be Mordred from The Once and Future King or…[Read more]

Ooh, this is so cool! So… do I just like talk about anything, or what? I mean, it’s been a busy past week, because I have SO MANY writing projects I’m working on. It’s crazy! I also posted my first author spotlight post on my blog: https://annabelle.batie.com/author-spotlight-laura-martin/

So, yeah, I’ve been renovating my novel, working on…[Read more]

@madelyn

SCREEEEEEAAAAAAAMMMMM!!!!!! *gasps of excitement. Realizes everyone is staring because I just burst through the wall* OH…HEH…

uhhh u could say I used to rlly be obsessed with fairytale retellings….specifically writing them….

I don’t read a ton as of rn, not that I’m not open if they peak my curio…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

In my most recent story idea, I still don’t have a plot.😅 But I do have a bunch of really cool characters, and an awesome world. So yeah. Just need a plot now.

I think in most my stories the characters come first for me … because the way I write, often the characters are the plot. Or, more accurately, while there may be ext…[Read more]

SO Because I don’t have many scenes written…I don’t have many lines of dialogue to share…BUT I REALLY WANT TO SHARE SOME SO HERE I GO!

These are from Arabella- (These may make no sense…a lot of my dialogue is like one sentence phrases…)

The girl with ebony hair.

Ara’s throat stung.

“Who are you?”

 

Her grandfather nodded and hande…

@trahia-the-minstrel

Whoop-whoop! That’s so exciting! Hopefully, if I do end up joining in August, I’ll see you there!

@autumn-rebecca

Sorry, misspelled your name the first time.

@jenwriter17 and @annabelle

Thanks for your advice!

@autmn-rebecca @sparrowhawke @faith-q @keilah-h @power @jasmine-godby @karissa-chmil @anyone-else-on-this-thread-I-forgot

I have made the decision and joined Author Conservatory. My start date is in June.😊

@abigail-m

Thank you! I’m glad you like it! Sorry I haven’t managed to get out a new post this week, it’s been a bit of a really busy week for me, with all kinds of things — mostly the biggest thing being that I made a huge life decision and decided to join the Author Conservatory. My start date is in June.😊

@godlyfantasy12

Okay, that makes sense.

So, do you have any ideas for your antagonist? What are your characters’ goals (especially the MC)? How does your antagonist oppose those goals?

I also love how you’re using some ideas from the Wingfeather Saga!

And I’m also SUPER curious what happened to their dad…
