People said that I should use tree sap instead of tar and feathers.

Even though it was a fictional comedy, and I was like 8.

I’m still salty.

@sparrowhawke Haha, yup. And knowing me, I’ll probably end up with ANOTHER trilogy in the mix at some point.

Thanks! I write mostly about faeries and humans, since those are the main two races in the book. But within the category of “faeries” there are elves, gnomes, dwarves, sprites, pixies, naiads, dryads, half-blood/hybrid faeries that are a…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms yeah, it was assigned reading for me in 7th grade.  It was extremely lazy and poorly written imo.  One of my clearest memories is of the teacher telling us how the “koi in the pond represent peace and the osprey taking the koi represent the peace getting stolen out of the main character’s life.”  It might have just been a th…[Read more]

@calidris Is tangerine a book? I’ve never heard of it.

@elfwing @devastate-lasting @scripter-of-kingdoms did any of you guys have to read tangerine in school?

@daisy-torres I wish I did. I hope to in the next decade soon XD

do you?

@scripter-of-kingdoms @devastate-lasting ok lol

I wonder if it’s from reading too many of the language arts stories that totally sucked and lacked any good characters and plots and so I improvised all through my school years because I was bored out of my gourd XD idk if anyone else has/had the problem of LA and English assigned stories like that…[Read more]

@elfwing Nope… that’s never happened to me before! XD I have a tendency to slam down my book and yell at it whenever there are problems. XD

@kathleenramm

I loved first person POV, just it being in present tense bothered me for quite a while. I can’t remember which books I read that were present tense or past tense first person POV. XD I know that Hunger Games was one of them. And maybe Instant Karma by Marissa Meyer? And Summer Blue Bird by Akemi Bird Blue? Oh, also 100 days of…[Read more]

@calidris ok sounds good lol

@elfwing i could definitely help with that!  I love working with descriptions.

@calidris sounds good! what i mean by plotting is that i need help with whether scenes are too vague and if im getting what i mean to write across

but yeah when you have the time, knock yourself out lol

@elfwing alright!  I might be able to help with prose, but I’m not very good at plotting.  I might be able to critique small sections at a time, and just give you general writing advice 🙂

@calidris sounds good and thanks for the answer.

sounds good, i dont have a timeline for the beta reading. this is for my novel, which is about 110 pages

here is the email, roseoakauthor at gmail dot com

@elfwing ooh i see.  I personally don’t have that problem, but there might be someone else who does 🙂

It’s only if you want to.  I don’t want you to feel pressured or anything. It’s something that I’ve been considering recently, just for people in general.  I have to warn you, though, I might not be able to dedicate a lot of time because of sc…[Read more]

@calidris haha no it wasn’t the question really, but I will accept it if you want to. I was just wondering if I’m the only person who fills in the holes/problems in books to such an extent I don’t see the problems XD

@elfwing  I don’t know if this is what you’re asking, but I would be up for being a beta reader if you need something critiqued, or just giving you advice 🙂

@joy-caroline @calidris @will_starke

@keilah-h Ehh… not usually my cup of tea, but I’ve read the first Wings of Fire book. Not my fave thing in the world but it was good.
