Welcome to the forum @kaya-young! I was homeschooled myself from Kindergarten through high school. Afraid I’m not familiar with Jeff Bridges. :/ What other authors do you enjoy?

Hey @aviantrail–welcome to the site! Love that Wodehouse quote in your signature! Are those short stories fan-fictions for Homer’s Odyssey, or something different?

@rochellaine

I’ve grown out of those sorts of books but I used to love them when I was in that age group.

That is actually a really cool idea! I would definitely read that, I’ve never read much about the Civil War, but I love historical fiction and that premise sounds fascinating. Maybe you should try a rewrite?

Goodnight then. I’ve enjoyed…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well the kids series is just simple, clean, adventure stories for about ages 8-14.  Four brothers and sisters go underground, in the mountains, to Florida, and solve a few mysteries. 😉  I’ve gotten really good reviews on them since I published the first two in 2014.

The novel is a time travel book I finished in 2016 but we’ve had a…[Read more]

@rochellaine

*gasp* I had no idea. Time zones literally confuse me so much. It’s 6pm here. I haven’t even had dinner. I feel you should probably sleep.

My publishing experience includes a short story in a magazine almost two years ago and a blogful of ramblings. I’m hoping to be traditionally published one day, but I’m happy to look into…[Read more]

@seekjustice By the way, have you ever published a book before?  I’ve published 7 so far, though none as grand as yours.  6 books in a kids series and a 300 page novel.  No real themes to speak of.  But just wondering what your publishing experience is.

@seekjustice Or the fact that they’re staying up til 2 discussing it with you?  🙂  I’m in the US on the East Coast.

@rochellaine

Thanks for that insightful comment. I had actually never considered that to be part of the theme, it just appeared and I had never thought about the fact that her first impressions were different to what he really was. (sort of like Pride and Prejudice, but the other way around).

I was pondering the fact that she fell in love with…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m glad I didn’t lose it after all.  Whew!  At least now I only have one thing to rewrite. 🙂

Oh Hooray!  I found it!  It disappeared for a little while, but clicking back into “history” I was able to salvage it. 🙂  Here it is:

@seekjustice That’s a little hard to answer, actually, since I come from the same viewpoint and am automatically reading it assuming she did something wrong, and interpreting what’s written to read that she did so…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I’m extra sorry now 🙁

That happened to me when I was replying to comments on my blog the other day, and I was super annoyed because my comment was very long and eloquent 🙂

@seekjustice Can the same thing happen twice in one night?!!!  I just wrote a really long response to your questions and lost it all!  I’ll try to rewrite it if I decide I have the patience. 🙂

@sage-g You haven’t seen scary until you’ve seen some of my drawings! I feel like I’m improving a bit, I use the Manga for the Beginner by Christopher Hart, which is really good.

@rochellaine

I’m sorry, it’s really super annoying when that happens. May you have great speed in your rewriting 😀

@jane-mare Oooh, thank you so much! I was thinking of buying the Hunger Games series and the Mission League books. I actually just ordered book 1 of the Out of Time series, so that’s on it’s way! (yaaaaay! *throws confetti*) Sadly though, I bought Counted Worthy several months back, but after my dad looked into it and read reviews, there was…[Read more]

@seekjustice Thanks, I tried that, but it’s really gone.  🙁 Oh well.

@kaya-young Welcome!  Did you possibly get your topic title, (Salutations,) from Charlotte’s Web?

@jenwriter17 @rochellaine @waterlily

Well, my fangirls, I have some questions for you. These are mostly moral and theme questions, I think, so hopefully they make sense. if they don’t just let me know and I’ll try to rephrase them.

Sapphire: okay….well…*stops to scratch head*. In our day and age, teen girls who have kids are not as frowned…[Read more]

@kaya-young

Welcome to the bestiest place on the internet!! (HAHA I SAID IT FIRST!). Sorry. *coughs* *straightens jacket*

Well, where do we begin! I’m homeschooled too (currently in my last year though), what kind of books do you read? Do you have a current writing project? Where abouts in the world are you from?

Also, what kind of dog is an…[Read more]
