@joy-caroline Yes, definitely! My opening chapters often feel flat. I write things that happen to the characters and that I think are important, only to figure out later that it wasn’t really important or added anything to the overall story. Sometimes my opening chapters drag on, and I decide that I need to move into the plot quicker or make the…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

I totally feel this struggle. I have rewritten so many chapters, especially opening ones, because I’m almost never satisfied with chapters that I’ve written. Opening ones can be so difficult because you’re juggling introducing the book’s themes, characters, and conflicts all at once in a way that’s memorable, satisfying, and intri…[Read more]

@lewilliams Hey! I just now saw your message to me. I seriously have no idea how I missed it. XD But anyway, to answer your question, I’m actually not on YDubs, but I do have friends who are on it.

@lydia-s Thanks for chiming in anyway! XD

@devastate-lasting Thank you so much! I know you have a lot of experience with online publishing, so I’m really glad you wrote an article about it.

@joy-caroline I think something to consider is what theme you’d like this character to represent, and then working with that. So if your themes are love and faith, maybe finding a way for this character to struggle with one of those things. An estranged family member they have to reconcile with, and demonstrate love? A health crisis they have to…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

It’s true, you did! xD >:(

Yeah, I can see what you’re saying… I think I’ll stick with Maraly, but I agree that there are also arguments to both sides.

@godlyfantasy12

Ooh, those are beautiful aesthetics! And yes, I did mean your character’s name, not the guy in the meme.

@godlyfantasy12

Ooh, those are so good!!! I need you to make some memes for my charries. xD

Is November literally his name?

@elishavet-pidyon

What? Maraly kissed him, and you can totally tell Kalmar likes her! Plus, they have like, REALLY similar personalities in some ways.

However… I can kind of see what you mean about Kalmar and Gayla. Both of them being former Fangs, I guess they would understand each other pretty well.

You’re making me second-guess myself! xD…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

Those are AMAZING characters! (Although, pretty much all the characters in the WFS are amazing, so….)

My favorite characters are probably Sara (because I can relate with her the most), Artham (because he’s just so cool with his wings and stuff), and Janner (because, duh, he’s the hero).

I know, Oskar’s quotes are amazing!…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

SHOW ME YOUR MEMES. I WANNA SEE THEM SO BADDDD

@unsung You’re welcome!!!

Aww THANK YOU!!!! I love yours as well!!!

Hello @unsung welcome to the Kingdom!!!! *waves* We’re SO thrilled to have you here!!! I’m Issabelle, but feel free to call me Is or Issa or any other nickname you come up with – it’s much quicker to spell, lol. And fantasy is one of the best genres ever!! *high fives*

@maryg3 Hey, Mary!! From what I’ve gathered about the bit you shared, it seems your book’s overarching main focal theme is about finding your place in life. (Did I get it right? 😂) So for my personal opinion, I think it’s really great to have more than one message in a story!!! I mean, we as people are so complex and learn so many different…[Read more]

@power Whoa, that poem was AMAZING and really touching!! I loved it! THANK YOU for sharing it with us!! It reminded me of the lyrics from TobyMac’s song Scars. “It doesn’t matter who you are, this world goin’ leave some battle scars.”

@godlyfantasy12

This might not be the best advice by a long shot, but you seem like you’re REALLY in love with the idea of bringing them back. Like I can just feel how much you love this idea and your excitement to write it. And I guess for me, that’s the best reason to follow through with the idea! It’s your story at the end of the day, and if…[Read more]
