Ooh, also great ideas! I really need to get started working on this… you guys have given me so much to work with!

@madelyn

Yeah, I actually just read North! Or Be Eaten a few weeks ago, so I think it’s pretty fresh in my mind. Ooh, those are great questions! That’s a great idea for him to actually be afraid of children inwardly… maybe that’s because of something that happened in his past too.

Sure, I’d be glad to keep you posted! I may even post the link…[Read more]

Hey, you guys. I’m trying to write a Wingfeather Saga fan fiction and I need your help with ideas.

So, if I remember correctly, the Overseer never had a specified backstory within the Wingfeather series. Like, we knew he was a bad guy… but how did he get that way? He wasn’t like the Fangs, he was a human. Something had to happen to make him act…[Read more]

I’m a pantser… I cannot plot a book. It just doesn’t work.

So when I begin, basically all I have is a basic idea of what I want to write about, and possibly a vague idea of how the story will end. Then I just write and see how it turns out! xD

I’m not very good at plotting, as you can see.

I think pantsing is totally fine,…[Read more]

@faith-q

Glad to help!

@joy-caroline

Thanks for telling me! Just filled out the form. 🙂

@trahia-the-minstrel

Yay!!! I’ll check it out!!!

@daisy-torres

LOL, that is horrible! I can’t even imagine if that had happened to me… Although, I’ve had more embarrassing stories regarding me and my crush too.

Well, my siblings have some pretty funny stories.

One time, my youngest brother (he was 3 at the time) was playing outside with a pretend bucket of “soup”. (It was really just dirt and water).

Anyway, he made this soup and left it there to come in and eat lunch. He didn’t go back outside at all that day.

Then, the next day, he went back outside…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel I love that! Thanks for sharing!

@karissa-chmil I totally get that. It took me DAYS of designing my blog until I was happy with it.

@devastate-lasting That’s cool! I’ve done a lot of genres myself… but I’m trying to get into more fantasy. But I’ll do pretty much anything.

@karissa-chmil I love your blog so much!! You did a great job on it.

@devastate-lasting Yeah, I totally get that! I’m trying to complete some of the projects I have now so I can move on and have less to do.

What genre do you normally like writing in?

@karissa-chmil Yes, what happened was really sad! I’m also curious about your blog. I don’t remember if I’ve seen it or not, since I’m subscribed to so many blogs now lol.

@karissa-chmil Thank you!

@autumn-rebecca Yeah, it’s helped me grow so much, and in just a month too! My Writerscore went from 70 to 79 in the full time I’ve been there. I also love the lesson they’re doing for this month, it has been very empowering for me.

@devastate-lasting Thanks! Right now my favorite project to work on right now is my…[Read more]

Ooh, this is so cool! So… do I just like talk about anything, or what? I mean, it’s been a busy past week, because I have SO MANY writing projects I’m working on. It’s crazy! I also posted my first author spotlight post on my blog: https://annabelle.batie.com/author-spotlight-laura-martin/

So, yeah, I’ve been renovating my novel, working on…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Okay, that makes sense.

So, do you have any ideas for your antagonist? What are your characters’ goals (especially the MC)? How does your antagonist oppose those goals?

I also love how you’re using some ideas from the Wingfeather Saga!

And I’m also SUPER curious what happened to their dad…

I hope you don’t mind if I pop in here!

1. Yes, I felt that way about Imogen from the Ascendance Series by Jennifer A. Nielson. She was nice, I guess, but I didn’t really connect with her. I think part of the problem was that she had like zero personality.

2. I’m going to go with Orion from my WIP. I would pick 2 or 4 for him. I absolutely hate…[Read more]

Your story idea sounds great! I have one question before I begin making suggestions: what would be the “powers” the siblings have? Do they turn into those creatures? How does that work?

@trahia-the-minstrel

Yay! That’s great! Your website looks so pretty. You did a great job designing it!

@keilah-h

Bonifer is worse than everybody. He’s like… the worst villain. EVER. That I’ve read about at least. There could be more evil or dark villains out there… but Bonifer is just so well-written for a villain. Andrew Peterson did a great job creating him.

@elishavet-pidyon

Ambition, bitterness, and pride… Those are pretty good traits…[Read more]

@koshka

Good point. I mean, Natalia is pretty much the whole world in the Green Ember, so Garten kind of did ruin the world… but Bonifer kidnapped a baby and lied to the baby’s mother. So that’s pretty bad.

Antagonists… They can be so difficult. We don’t want them to just seem like the same old bad guy from cartoons or whatever. They have to…[Read more]
