Do you have any favorite Historical Fiction books?

I like The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare, With Pipe, Paddle and Song by Elizabeth Yates, Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt, and Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes. I’m sure there are more, I just can’t think of them right now!

Okay…so…first off, I have a lot of WI…

hehe… I wanna spoil SOOO BAD. I won’t though. I can’t 😆 I’ll just have to write faster lol

Definitely write faster, LOL. That’s so hard to do! Sometimes it’s just there and it comes out, and other times *cough* now it just seems . . . gone. 😂

@freedomwriter76

I love this! I like how the brothers interact with each other, it’s so much fun to read! And good job keeping them distinct with personalities and everything, that’s hard when you have a lot of characters! Keep it up, I want to read more!

@theloonyone @loopylin @mineralizedwritings @freedomwriter76 @starofthenorth

So here is one of the first things I wrote. It’s called “The Adventure #2.” I don’t know what happened to “The Adventure #1” but it did exist. It was about my stuffed animals coming alive and going under my bed to see what was there. I had so many stuffed animals, LOL.…[Read more]

I know I’m late to the party but . . .

AHH THIS IS SO GOOD! Great job, girl!😊😊

The chapters did seem kinda short, but the writing is good! I agree with @mineralizedwritings , maybe Riker’s seeming a little too nice for so early in the book? And though he is feeling conflicted, maybe it’s not quite enough? He seems like a good…[Read more]

Ok so Lesli and Tauren live underground. I’m not sure how obvious that was, but the title of the series is currently “The west hills bunkers” which will definitely help the reader understand that. I might include dates in the finished version, If set in our world it would be around 3,401. Thanks for bringing that to my atten…

How did I miss this for so long!?!?!?!? *face-palms*

Sorry bout that!!!

You’re fine! 😊😊

Nice to meet you too! I also love music, especially the violin and singing. I’m not exactly a history person, but I do think it’s fascinating–especially the government aspect and how history relates to literature. I have to admit, I’ve never…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

So I finally got the chance to read through everything you’ve posted on here, and . . . WOW. Good job with the emotions! I can totally see this as a graphic novel!

I did have one question though . . . what kind of setting is this? Like, is it a type of fantasy, or historical fiction, or some kind of futuristic world? Or none…[Read more]

@theloonyone

😲😲😲 what? whoa

LOL did I surprise you?

I honestly love this dynamic so much though! Aedan and Elinor being the children of a prince–which means that the king is their grandfather–and Prince Durwin is their uncle–makes it so exciting and fun to work with!

@mineralizedwritings @theloonyone @loopylin

I like the Berets and Baguettes too, great job!

Unfortunately I do not have any art . . . I never really got into drawing. But I can try to brave myself to actually share some awful writing, if that’s okay . . .

Also how do you do emojis other than the kind you make on the keyboard? I’m so clueless LOL

@theloonyone

Sorry! Tagged the wrong person. Great topic!

@mineralizedwritings

Thanks for catching this!

@mineralizedwritings Great topic!

@felicity @freedomwriter76 @starofthenorth @theloonyone

This is all so great you guys! I like the cat ballerinas too. 🙂

So unfortunately, I do not have the first book I started to write . . . I was 7 or 8 and I was getting bored during my sister’s cello lesson so I started writing The Mystery of the Queen’s…[Read more]

@loopylin @mineralizedwritings

Wow, that’s so good! I love the squidy too 🙂 May I hug it as well?

@mineralizedwritings

I’m so sorry I didn’t respond until now . . .

But the scene from your book looks great! I haven’t really read any graphic novels, so I’m not very familiar with the genre, but I’m impressed! I can’t draw to save my life, especially people. Not that I’ve ever worked on it LOL

I like the way the flannel looks though! I love flannel. 🙂

@theloonyone

Ooh, this is a really good start! I understood the setting, appearance, etc.

Thank you!

My one question is why the Dickensons were so cruel to them. Is it just because they are a burden they didn’t want?

I think part of it is that the Dickinsons are mean people to start with, but yeah, they didn’t want to have to care for two babies (…[Read more]

@theloonyone

I agree, Boromir was originally a good guy, though he did get corrupted by the Ring. But he repents and dies a very noble death, in true tragic hero fashion. I haven’t seen the movies, but from what I understand they did do more on him, which is good, it just seems like they completely change Faramir’s character, and that makes me…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Thank you, that helps a lot!

I especially liked the way you describe the characters bit by bit. The piece where the candlelight is illuminating Aedan’s face was an especially fine part to read. I love the way it formed his features in my mind.

Thank you! I enjoy describing how I see the characters in my mind, but I didn’t want t…[Read more]

Yes, I finally made it out of being a bumbling henchman! I’d much rather be a rebel, especially a charismatic one 😛

@lightoverdarkness6

Hello and nice to meet you!

First off, I love your name!

Thank you! Arien is a kind of obscure character in The Silmarillion, and when I found it, I thought that’s cool, I think I’ll make that my pen name! 🙂

I’m Lightoverdarkness6, a young teenage girl who loves writing, reading, playing piano, and exploring in the woods nea…

@felicity

Thank you, and thank your brother and sister too! It was great to get three opinions! (And I’m glad they were all positive, LOL!)

The twin dynamic is fun. As for personalities, I’m sort of getting that Aedan is resourceful, alert and protective of his sister.

Yay, I’m glad you liked it! And yes, that is Aedan. He’s kind of developed mo…[Read more]
