@michelle Hey! I finished your book; it was really sweet! Quick question: where do you want me to answer the feedback questions? On here, or on the book doc itself in the comments or something?

World War One is a great era! I like whatever era the Waltons were in (thirties or forties) and 1800s. I usually write in present day, though.

Ah no! I thought I tagged you!

Fair, fair. That’s a hideous time to be up by 😀

Hi!

I’ve been writing short stories for three or four years for a school curriculum. Some advice that I have found helpful is to limit your stories to a small concept (a trip to the story, a visit with friends). Try to really flesh out the details. A helpful thing to do is to read a chapter from a children’s book (the kind where each chapter…[Read more]

I’d love to try literary fiction!

Hey! Anyone around? I’m writing a blog post 😀

WW1 and Roman Britain!

What about you?

I can’t believe I missed this thread! I’m going to jump in now.

I’ve been making up stories ever since I was really small! Three or four I’d say. My mum used to write them down for me and I’d illustrate 🙂

But I couldn’t write or read well until I was about twelve, so that’s when I first started writing. My very first stories were fanfictions of…[Read more]

Hi!

Thanks for the kind comment! I am publishing it as an ebook on Amazon. It took about two years to write. I actually sent one draft of the first chapter to a bestselling author, Andrew Clements, who wrote back to say that it made him want to read more! That was very encouraging, but unfortunately Mr. Clements died shortly after.

“Bob the Baby was walking along. Then, he jumped on somebody’s head.” Bob the Baby was a character I made up.

I have a book that I filed with the others that goes like this:

(Title) Who ate the grapes?

One day there was a girl who saw grapes.

She ate the grapes.

And she walked away from the grapes.

And she sat on the…[Read more]

Musical theatre. is. the. best! I’ve been watching some documentaries on how professional companies put together plays. It’s completely fascinating, and it really helps me to know what the audition process would be like if I ever go to an audition (which I really hope will happen).

Some of the best musical theatre songs are from Annie (though…[Read more]

I think I started writing when I was three or four, before I could really put the words down myself. 🙂 I dictated to my mom.

I’ve never published a book so this is new to me XD. I write for educational fiction for a school curriculum, and I focus on writing middle-school age stories. I sent one version of my first chapter of my book to a famous author, Andrew Clements, who, sadly, died shortly after. He replied before he died though and said the chapter made him want t…[Read more]

Lord of the Rings is the best! I love it!

That is so cool! I also like to write books for kids. I am publishing one on Amazon called Memory Lane Was Moved. It will be available on the 15th, and it will be free for the first five days!

Where are you publishing your book?
