My sis is about five years younger than me, and sometimes we’ll talk about my stories! I enjoy talking about them with my younger brother as well. And my older brother… well we don’t talk about my stories, but a variety of things, from politics to stupid memes. Lol 😂
I’ve always wanted an older sister or a twin, but I d…[Read more]

Thanks!! I find it interesting as well, bc I made up a lot of stuff about the charries on the spot, and I really like it! I said the theme is forgiveness, but it is also trusting God. I find that the latter theme is one that literally comes into every book that I write! It’s actually really neat!

I LOVE Top Gun: Maverick! It’s such a good movie isn’t it?!
Yes!!! All of our family love it!! My dad and brother love it the most with probably my mom and I in close second. It’s so… authentic. Yeah… It’s so good! 😆
So cool that you have so many songs for your charries! I have playlists for my MCs and for m…[Read more]

Fun topic idea!!
So what first came to mind, was Everton. The song “I Ain’t Worried” by OneRepublic from Top Gun: Maverick is what really describes Ev’s personality, I feel like.
I will definitely be hang around on this thread, adding more later. 😁

@loopylin
I feel like magic is a term used very loosely. Most people have their own definition of it. But there should be a defining line between the magic God speaks against and fantasy magic in the mind of a Christian. Though some people are more strict on that than others and that is totally fine. 🙂 -

First, Ethan Graham!
Being the first born son of the Graham family and having a younger brother and sister, he has a lot of weight on his shoulders. But his parents appreciate how responsible he is. When a war breaks out in between the North and South, Ethan e…[Read more]

Esther replied to the topic Do your characters tend to be more extraverted or introverted? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 8 months ago
I think I have a pretty good mix of both.
Everton is extroverted.
Amidala is definitely introverted.
Corie is extroverted.
Tyrone is introverted, but in his story, he ran away from home, so he doesn’t have any true friends. 🙁😅
Personally, I’m extroverted around people I know, but introverted around people I don’t know.

Glad you’re enjoying it!! I really enjoyed writing it!
The plot points are hard to pin down. That’s definitely something I’m going to tackle on the second draft. Thanks for pointing that out!

@everybody
These verses help to remind me why I’m writing and what I should be writing:
“The Preacher sought to find words of delight, and uprightly he wrote words of truth.”
Ecclesiastes 12:10 “My heart overflows with a pleasing theme; I address my verses to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.”
Psalm 45:…[Read more] -

Great topic!
I’ve done fantasy before, but the thing that could be considered “magic” was each tribe having a supernatural ability gifted by their Creator. There weren’t any powers that they could harness on their own, (even though their gifts could be used wrongly). There is definitely a line when writing magic. I like wh…[Read more]

Esther replied to the topic Wingfeather Saga in the forum Book Discussions 3 years, 8 months ago
I can readily agree with you about the first book. Compared to the others, it wasn’t that good. The series was recommended to me by a friend and I knew my cousin had read it, so I tried it. I did the first book for a book report and actually found it to be one of the easiest book reports I’ve ever done.
I agree with @elishavet-pidyon ab…[Read more]

@felicity, the thing that Len gave to Amidala is definitely important. Sometimes I actually forget to mention it in future chapters 😅, but it will play a big role in the future! 😏
Next two chapters! (I already have like twenty written, so that’s why I’m getting the…[Read more]

Yeah. I was just thinking Ev would try to make her jealous, but now that I think about it, they’d then have to have a conversation about it. That may kind of ruin the whole dynamic in my head for the actual book. 😅
I may just have him act like that with any girl, cause I’m playing around with that facet of his…[Read more] -

Esther replied to the topic Russo-Ukrainian War Novel. Please Critique! in the forum Novel Critique Requests 3 years, 8 months ago
I didn’t find myself confused at all bc you had the character’s names at the start of each chapter. I write in two POVs all the time. The way I signal it’s someone different it by starting each first sentence of the chapter with their name. (Well, at least most of the time)
Thanks for the feedback! 😀
Yep! You’re welcome!!

It may work better if you do change Jasmine’s age. 😅 But it’s up to you. I have my characters work around it.

I love it so far!! I can really feel the characters’ personalities. And you’re doing a great job writing in present tense. Like, I’ve tried it before, and I just can’t do it right. 😅 So, awesome job! I can’t wait to read more!!
