cool topic, sry im late!  here’s a quick lowdown of my charries:

Emiyn Martinez, eighteen, was Selected to go to Nova Terra.  She has to leave behind her sister, Aven, who is alone with autism.  With hidden talents and a secret past, she will do anything to save Aven.  But there are some who will do anything to take advantage of Em’s tal…[Read more]

Great topic!  …now I have to remember what I read last! 😆  I’m pretty sure it was The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen.  My favorite thing was probably the MC, Sage’s, personality.  He was street-smart and sarcastic, but also noble.  My least favorite thing was the pace.  A lot of the time it was super slow, with occas…[Read more]

@daisy-torres Dang, girl… That is a lot! While, I, too, have several books planned to write in Chinese,  I have not attempted that yet… If you need me to check anything, feel free to ask!

Take a break! That is a lot!

@kathleenramm No, I haven’t tried. The time that I did try writing a story for a kid it ended up being kinda dark…thank goodness she couldn’t read…

My sister did write a kid’s book when she was a kid though! We’re probably all used to writing books for our age groups, haha…

@devastate-lasting

Yes, I definitely agree about not having to read heavy material all the time. Sometimes, if I read too much heavy stuff it weighs on me and even gives me insomnia. Not that heavier books are bad, (they can teach you a lot of things), but too much of anything isn’t good.

So yeah, I too like to read a good children’s book here…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Well, I’m in the middle of The Brothers Karamazov, and I haven’t quite finished it yet, so… Other than that, excluding all the manga and books I’ve read for school, the last book I read was… The Summer of the Swans, by Betsy Byars. It won a Newberry Medal. My favorite thing was how nostalgic I felt reading it. The copy I have i…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Awesome topic!  Well, the first story I ever wrote (called “The Terres of the Man”) was about three animals: Wanna (I mean, what the heck??? XD) the horse, Carrie the anteater, and Joe the frog.  There is a “Mean Man” who kidnaps Joe and brings him to his cave, which is a “terres” in case anyone is interested. 🤦‍♀️  Wanna and Ca…[Read more]

@abigail-m Ah thank you! Shuangzhou means “frost day” in Chinese. And it’s so cool that you have a character named Adrian too!

@gracie-j

Oh, yes! A Pirate movie/Tv show would be so fun to write a screen play to. To see your swashbuckling story come to life on screen would be truly amazing.

I Think I watched Beyond the Mask a while back. What are some of your favorite things about the movie?

@lewilliams

Mafia and Fairies? I’ve loved both for a long time, but it never…[Read more]

@issawriter7 AHHH thank you so much for reading! I’m so happy you liked it!

So, I’ve been trying to decide which characters to rant about, as to help me develop them…I think maybe you guys have heard of my project The Mafia of Heather Flights? Which I’m currently plotting… Anyways, I did the most plotting and world building for this one, so…

Y’know what. I’ll talk about them some other day. Let me talk about this…[Read more]

@gracie-j Aw….so cute! Reminds me of that one story called Billy Budd by Herman Melville… *sniff*

@godlyfantasy12 Aw, that’s really sad… Makes for character motivations, I guess.

@godlyfantasy12 Whoa, interesting! Poor thing…

@writerlexi1216 Ah, that’s so cool! I like them already!

@joy-caroline Of course! You go, girl!

@writerlexi1216 Wow, everything sounds awesome! What do your characters look like?

(Also now tempted to gush about mine)

@joy-caroline Wow, that’s a lot! That’s really well developed!

@writerlexi1216 *flashbacks to my old Goodreads groups*

This looks fun! I, however, have too many characters, so I think I’ll sit back for a moment before jumping in!

@scripter-of-kingdoms Exciting! Might join, though I can’t give a specific word count.

@daisy-torres Ah, that makes sense! Thanks!
