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

Oh, and your idea sounds marvelous! That’s such an interesting twist, for the child to be taken, I mean. Is it all in backstory?

@madelyn

Oooo! Fractured Fairy tales are super fun! I’ve only read a few, and can’t exactly give any advice, but I have a few thoughts etc.

And, hey, you said to say anything, so…

Have you ever read Ella? I know there are tons of Cinderella retelling, and Ella Enchanted is probably one of the best, but I thought I’d recommend this one.

Characters.

Usually I think of a character in a setting, with a bit of their backstory. That backstory and setting then point to what may happen/ what the plot will be.

However, they don’t always communicate perfectly, so I often end up with only a vauge idea about what the plot actually is.

I used to say that all my books were…[Read more]

@madelyn

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.😊

@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]

@keilah-h

This topic is phenomenal! Now I’m itching to answer those questions.

Because crazy questions are some of the best kinds there are…

A character that I don’t like but I don’t hate.

Rabadash is horrible, but also Ridiculous. For that I can despise him as a person, but enjoy him as a character. There are most likely a bunch of these,…[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]

@godlyfantasy12

Yes!! That would be fun.

@karissa-chmil

Those are some very interesting lines. Scarlet sounds like quite the character.

@anatra23

Those lines are hilarious. They capture a child’s active mind so we’ll.

And please, cringy is understood. I can’t make myself read the entire three chapters from my first novel idea… And t…[Read more]

Sorry, misspelled your name the first time.

@jenwriter17 and @annabelle

Thanks for your advice!

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.😊

I hope that wasn’t confusing.

@lana-blanchard

By a strong church I mean one where God can move unhindered, the people are unified as the body of Christ, and the pastor preaches the Word and the congregation backs him.

We do actively worship if that’s what you mean. We dance before the LORD in praise, but nothing such as Jewish ring dancing or stuff like that.

My favorite…[Read more]

@lydia-s

Ah yes, Wentworth’s letter. That scene (besides Louisa’s fall) is probably one of my favorite in the book. And I usually don’t enjoy romance books…

Wow that was so good, like how?! I’m not good a poetry, so I don’t have any suggestions for you but just yeah…

No words. That was amazing!

@mkfairygirl

AWW THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You’re so sweet!! Eep thanks! 😊 <3

Aw thank you for the encouragement that means a lot!!! Me too! YES! It’s been super fun to write! 😄

@godlyfantasy12

OOoooh your story idea sounds so cool!!! I love how you’re going to do the POVs! That’s super cool, especially with the middle brother being the main POV. That’s an awesome opportunity for some internal (and external conflict)! Love it!

Some questions…

1. Is there magic in your story, or are the boy’s powers more like…[Read more]

@autumn-rebecca

That’s cool! Yeah, I’ve liked the style for a long time cause my older brothers are really into it, and one of them got me into it. I don’t watch all anime, though, cause a lot of them are quite dark and/or haves weird/adult content.

@autumn-rebecca

I just updated my site so that the first snippet of my op is there. It’s not perfect, I still need to do some tweaks, but I still get a thrill out of seeing it there.😁
