What made you choose Ralph, as opposed to any other male name?

@daughteroftheking Thank you! The B&tB retelling is my favorite one at the moment. I don’t have a particular favorite kind of music, but I like classical, Lindsey Stirling and…[Read more]

I especially love the idea of how magic works in that first one! I don’t usually have a cost for my magic…but I should. After all, as the Dark One says, “All magic comes at a price!”

I feel the same way about names for the Beast! In my first retelling, I named him Tasmarin Jennings and called him Arin for…[Read more]

XD Especially since I have many, many more ideas in my head that I haven’t written at all yet

It is pretty interesting, although less interesting than my retelling (imo). I took a lot of liberties.

Jane Austen, Shannon Hale, Sarah J. Maas, Janette Oke, Louisa May Alcott, to name a few. What about you?

@notawriter

I didn’t realize before how you were supposed to tag people, but I figured it out. 😀 Your questions are answered above.

I’ve already written one retelling, there’s the one I’m working on, and I have the idea for another one. I would love to read yours some time!

Thank you! I’m glad you like them!

For Ellesmera Lost, I just went by the fact that the main character’s name is Ellesmera and she was lost for eighteen years. 😀

The Darkness Within is a title my brother came up with. It makes more sense to those who know about the spoiler I mentioned in my explanation of the book.

The Darkest…[Read more]

Ellesmera Lost is one I began writing maybe four years ago. The plot is terrible (please don’t laugh), but I’m continuing it at the moment for practice. I’ll be rewriting it at some point. Anyway, it follows a girl named Ellesmera (Mera for short) who, at the age of eighteen, discovers she’s the long-lost princess of Elyria, one of two…[Read more]

I think I’m getting close to the other extreme now, though lol.

No, I don’t know my MBTI type…I’ve never taken that test.

Glad to meet you! 🙂

My name is Anna (you do see my username, right?), and I’m eighteen. I love playing the piano, but I love reading and writing even more. I prefer fiction, specifically fantasy (and a little bit of sci-fi), both for reading and writing. Right now, I have five WIPs–The Shadows Never Lie, The Darkest Flame, Beautiful…[Read more]

I’m not much of a songwriter, but my youth group leader is. If you have Facebook, you could try messaging her, and I’m sure she would be willing to help (especially if you tell her Anna Berens recommended her).
