@trahia-the-minstrel

Your WIP sounds so good! And don’t be too afraid that you don’t write. My first/second drafts of my novels always turn out horrible, but it’s a learning process and I’m able to correct them later.

Okay, so starting a blog isn’t exactly easy. I would recommend using either Wix for fast setup, or WordPress.com (but not…[Read more]

@elfwing

LOL that would be a great meme!

How many characters do you kill?! The way you’re talking it sounds like all your characters end up dead by the end of the story.

@koshka

Yes, we do! That’s what authors like us are trying to accomplish: getting more good books out there in the world.

@daisy-torres

Yes, I would love to read your story, if you would like to send me the link to your blog! I haven’t actually read a good book about mermaids in a long time…

Thanks for checking out the quiz! I just threw it together as a last-minute blog post, so I wasn’t sure how it would turn out. xD

@elishavet-pidyon

WELL, I only need…[Read more]

@koshka

No, you’re completely right. When I get to writing that part, I probably should make Maria grieve for her sister more. I appreciate tips like that. 😊

@elfwing

Fantasy is so cool, and I’ve always wanted to write it. I’ve started several fantasy novels, but never finished them.

Yasss, killing is so satisfying! (Though the way I just said that sounded really evil LOL). I like love stories too, but only when there’s some sort of conflict between two characters falling in love with one character.…[Read more]

@koshka

No, actually I’m not really familiar with real-life twins. Maria and Grace (those are the twins) don’t meet each other until they’re sixteen, so that makes it slightly easier for me to kill Grace because they haven’t known each other for very long before she dies.

@daisy-torres

That sounds like a cool plot! If you ever get around to…[Read more]

@elfwing

Ooh, your WIP is so cool! I can relate to the evil writer mentality. I’m killing off my main character’s twin sister in the second book in my series, and I’m considering killing her boyfriend. (oops, sorry, that was a spoiler).

*gasps* So I’m not the only teen mermaid lover!!! @daisy-torres, WE NEED TO TALK!!!

@lavenderbookling

Oh, I’ve heard of the Masterminds Trilogy, but I have yet to read it.

Yeah, that is a variety of music! I currently play piano (also without a teacher). I enjoy listening to cello, although I’ve never played one. Have you heard of The Piano Guys? They do piano/cello duets.

I’ve heard of all the authors you mentioned, and I…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Wow, your WIP sounds so good! How far are you in writing it?

So my current WIP is a series about mermaids called Daughters of the Sea. I know, I know, I’m way too old to be thinking about mermaids anymore, but you have to admit, they’re pretty cool creatures.

Anyway, the main character is a girl named Maria. She starts out as an…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Yeah, rewriting can be fun, but it’s also a little bit more boring than writing something from scratch because you feel like you’re writing the same thing all over again.

So my book series is called Daughters of the Sea. Here is the summary I wrote about my book:

“Maria Brooks is just a plain orphan girl with a mysterious past. When…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

My book series is going well. I’m still self-editing it. I’m super busy with other writing projects though, like my blog and a few short stories I’m writing, so it’s hard to find the time.

@lavenderbookling

Hi! It’s nice to meet you! My name is Annabelle, and I also write fantasy, although in the past I’ve done more historical fiction and action/adventure. Currently, I am working on editing my YA novel called Identity, which is the first book in my Daughters of the Sea series. I also run my own blog, annabelle.batie.com, where I p…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

So I didn’t quite get exactly everything you were saying… LOL… but I think I understand a little bit. So you had a story all written out, and then you had all these AMAZING ideas and had to change everything. Was that right?

Okay, so if what I’m understanding is correct, then yes, I have gone through that before, actually…[Read more]

@glorifychrist

You have to finish the Wingfeather Saga! It is SO GOOD!!! It gets better as it progresses too. The ending of the last book is so heartbreaking, but also so beautiful… Anyway, if I keep talking about this, I’m going to spoil it for you, so I better stop.

Yeah, the worlds Tolkien and Lewis created are so awesome. I just recently…[Read more]

@glorifychrist

Yeah, peacocks rule! I was super surprised when we pulled ahead at the last minute.

I actually haven’t heard of most of the authors you mentioned, except for Andrew Peterson. I’ve also heard of some of Beverly Lewis’s books, but I’ve never read any.

So if you like Andrew Peterson… have you read the Wingfeather Saga? It’s my…[Read more]

@glorifychrist

Welcome! I’m Annabelle, and I’m relatively new here too. I also participated in CWW, and it was my first time this year. Which team were you on? I was on the peacocks!

What kind of books do you like to read? Who are some of your favorite authors?

Again, it’s nice to meet you! See you around the forums!

@koshka

Yeah, continuations of WFS are so fun! I wrote one a few years ago, but it’s probably lost somewhere on my computer… Anyway, I’ll look in the Wingfeather topic and read your stuff.

I have read Wingfeather Tales! It wasn’t as moving as the main book series, but it was still great.

@koshka

The writer part of me knows you’re right, but the reader part still is hungry for more Wingfeather. LOL

@kathleenramm

I enjoyed the Left Behind series, and I would definitely recommend it. It was very adult in content, but it was still good. The last three or four books in the series, especially Armeggedon, were very violent, and there was a lot of torture and gory things. There are no illustrations in the book, thankfully, but you can still…[Read more]
