Faith Q. started the topic Me idea in the forum Plotting 3 years, 10 months ago
Okay, so last night I got this amazing idea. At least I think it sounds amazing. But my problem is, it also sounds a bit cliche.
The problem is, I don’t get out much. Honestly, I’m pretty picky about what I read, so modern secular works are very rarely added to the list, and I am pretty clueless about what’s actually on the shelves. I know I…[Read more]

Hi everyone!
As you may remember, I recently started my blog. Many of you have subscribed, and I’m so grateful for that!
However, I’m struggling a little bit right now trying to learn how it all works. I’m quite new to the blogosphere, so I don’t quite understand some things, or I’d like advice on how to do them better. For example:…[Read more]

Faith Q. started the topic Calling all storytellers… in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years ago
Okay, y’all, so I recently finished my YA fantasy novel.
*cues the high-pitched screams*
But my next project is a middle-grade novel featuring a 12-year-old MC who gets herself into all sorts of scrapes.
The problem is, I’m not naturally a humorous writer. It’s something I’m trying to work on in this story, true, but a very not funny writer…[Read more]

Trahia the Minstrel replied to the topic Some questions about characters in the forum Characters 4 years ago
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!

Lydia S. replied to the topic Some questions about characters in the forum Characters 4 years ago
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]

Hello, one and all! For those of you who are newer, we used to have some topics called “Writer’s Corner” or something like that, but I’m far too lazy to search for the previous ones or consult how many of these we have been through, so we can just start a new one.
This thread is just a place for off-topic chats, where we can talk about our day or…[Read more]

Keilah H. replied to the topic I finally read Green Ember!! in the forum Book Discussions 4 years ago
@abigail-m It’s very cool! I like the fact that the story’s about animals (rabbits in particular), yet there’s a bunch of battles and cool stuff in it. Also that it’s not super violent even though it’s about a war–the author wrote it for kids.

Keilah H. replied to the topic Some questions about characters in the forum Characters 4 years ago
@abigail-m I don’t mind Fitz, but I can see why people might. I’m just happy that you’ve also heard of the KOTLC series…..I like it, and it was funny when they told Sophie to “make him look pretty in pink.”
Sam is awesome! He was a great character, that’s for sure. And he’s kind of forgotten in the corner most of the time, which makes it all…[Read more]

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.😊

Hi everyone!
I’m considering joining the Author Conservatory, and I was interested to know if any of you are in it? If so, what are you thoughts on the program? Things I should know? Pros and Cons? Is there anything you wished you’d known before you joined, but didn’t?
For me, one of the things I’m struggling with is that I have already written…[Read more]

Keilah H. started the topic I finally read Green Ember!! in the forum Book Discussions 4 years, 1 month ago
I finally started reading the Green Ember series and I love it! It’s so cool how the writer did the whole story with wolves and eagles (rabbit predators) as villains and rabbits as heroes. And the lore behind it and backstory–all so cool! I’m on the third book right now. What did you think of it? Who’s your favorite character? I honestly love a…[Read more]

Thanks for helping me understand a bit better!
Also, sorry if I sounded a bit “un-gracious” there, but I guess what I meant wasn’t anything against the author, but the story. (I’m also a terrible writer, and it would indeed be bad news for me if the notion of improvement didn’t exist). So to rephrase: If the characters, world, an…[Read more]

Annabelle replied to the topic Cover Art Sharing Space/Critique in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 1 month ago
Yeah, rewriting can be fun, but it’s also a little bit more boring than writing something from scratch because you feel like you’re writing the same thing all over again.
So my book series is called Daughters of the Sea. Here is the summary I wrote about my book:
“Maria Brooks is just a plain orphan girl with a mysterious past. When…[Read more]
