Thank you so much for your advice! I found it really encouraging.

@avacoulter

Thank you! I am so sorry I haven’t posted anything for like, 6 weeks … I’ve been in a real slump and kinda discouraged with everything about websites and my writing in general. It’s a but of hard spell for me … I’m at one of those places where I’m wonderi…[Read more]

It’ll actually be for two separate projects. One is a middle-grade contemporary novel, and the other is a YA fantasy. If you’re up for helping me brainstorm, either (or both!) need work, so anyone who can, pretty much? I’ll give the tags here, and then put…[Read more]

The problem is, I don’t get out much. Honestly, I’m pretty picky about what I read, so modern secular works are very rarely added to the list, and I am pretty clueless about what’s actually on the shelves. I know I…[Read more]

As you may remember, I recently started my blog. Many of you have subscribed, and I’m so grateful for that!

However, I’m struggling a little bit right now trying to learn how it all works. I’m quite new to the blogosphere, so I don’t quite understand some things, or I’d like advice on how to do them better. For example:…[Read more]

*cues the high-pitched screams*

But my next project is a middle-grade novel featuring a 12-year-old MC who gets herself into all sorts of scrapes.

The problem is, I’m not naturally a humorous writer. It’s something I’m trying to work on in this story, true, but a very not funny writer…[Read more]

Thank you! I hope you like it!😊

Thanks for the info!

@sparrowhawke

Thanks for the advice! I have researched and read each article on the blog tour now, I found the links on their Instagram account. Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts in doing an online course for 3 whole years, when it means missing out on an in-person community? I come from a small town, and…[Read more]

So as of rn my second book in fantasy series, (the second book is Project DM) has a looong poem in it. I have just gone back and revised the poem and when I finished I was kinda blown away ngl, and I really like it so I wanted to share it with y’all! So this is kinda a…[Read more]

I’m so thrilled to share this with you guys!

My website URL is Hadassah.nz !

I hope you’ll enjoy the content on it! If any of you want…[Read more]

Whoof, I’m back! (I was drowning in school and responsibility.)

XD half of what my family says is already quoting Spider-Man and Lord of the Rings rn.

Italian, I believe was what the song was originally written in. (quickly (and shamelessly) googles) Nvm, it’s Neapolitan lol. I learned to play it for my piano recital last month, and…[Read more]

Thanks Ava! That means a lot!

How do you sign up to or even find information about the Young Writers Workshop? Nothing on their website is working for me, except the ‘join author conservatory’ page. I wondered if new people aren’t allowed to join right now?

I’m considering joining the Author Conservatory, and I was interested to know if any of you are in it? If so, what are you thoughts on the program? Things I should know? Pros and Cons? Is there anything you wished you’d known before you joined, but didn’t?

For me, one of the things I’m struggling with is that I have already written…[Read more]

🙂

Thank you!

AAAHH, YES, Legolas!!!!!!😄 He does some pretty epic moves in The Hobbit!!

Thank you!!!! Yay, awesome!!!! Aw, really?!?! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! I’m smiling so big right now!!!!!! I’m SUPER excited to hear that you think The Black Cat sounds cool!!!!!!!! 😃 That really encourages me!!!!! Writing is so hard at times. XD

Yep, I have…[Read more]

*What language are you singing in?

@trahia-the-minstrel @mkfairygirl @avacoulter )

No I haven’t! WAIT…actually?!?! Cuz I am 100% here for it!

That is SO true! Yes community is so important (and vital even)!

Yes, for sure!

I don’t! It’s definitely one of my goals to start a blog sometime this year tho!
Oh that’s awesome!! What’s your blog called? Could you send me a link? I also love checking out new blogs! (And that’s so exciting!)

You definitely should! 😊 My blog is c…[Read more]

Wow, that’s an awesome cover! I love the contemporary, sci-fi feel of it:)

@avacoulter

*sighs* Ah, being able to shed tears in public. A skill I shall never obtain.

maybe I would have cried the second time upon seeing it, but I was asleep for the last ten minutes, (it had been a long day) so I missed my chance.

And yes, the “Aww man,…[Read more]

Sorry about the delay in response. The days have had my brain a little full. Lol.

Of course! Lol, agreed! So true…it’s interesting to see what each project teaches me. I’ve learned so much through writing (and not just about the writing process and prose and such, but also life and about God’s heart. It’s been pretty cool!) in such a…

Do you guys mind if I jump in here cause I love these topics?😊

I love Violet Evergarden’s music too! My favourites are Rust, Never Coming Back, The Voice in My Heart, The Ultimate Price, Inconsolable, The Love That Binds Us, and Believe In…

Yes, the extended editions of LOTR! My family never watches any other version — we’re kinda s…[Read more]

Girl, I TOTALLY agree! I love Bilbo so much more in the Hobbit!!! (He’s my absolute favorite character from the Hobbit!!)

Hmm, my favorite thing about writing would have to be creating my own stories and characters. (Creating is my life!) Mostly fantasy and some realistic-type stories. Here lately, though, I’ve been trying my hand…[Read more]

Your mock cover is absolutely beautiful!

@trahia-the-minstrel @jodi-maile I imagine my stories as movies ALL THE TIME, even [especially?] if they’re fanfics. Because I often think up credits scenes, I sometimes even make cast lists based off of which actors…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

You’re totally not crazy! I think your cover idea sounds epic! I mean, leather? That’s so cool! And you seem to be quite a good artist — I’m sure you could draw it or use photoshop!

It’s still so funny that we inadvertently have similar nam…[Read more]

NWH Is so amazing! Ugh, I could quote it for hours. Even though some of the plot and characters felt like fan fiction, I really enjoyed it!

I went for the first time on the twentieth with some friends, then again on the twenty-eighth with my family and some family friends. But the second time I kinda fell asleep in the second half.…[Read more]

AWW, thank you so much!!!!!!!!!! I’m smiling SO BIG over here!!!! Girl, you have just made my day!!!!😊

LEGOLAS!!!! EEEE, YES, he is definitely one of the best!!!!!! 😉 Yes, Pippin and Merry are awesome characters too!!!! My favorite is probably Legolas and Aragorn. And I love Sam and Frodo. (Ok, I have a hard time choosing…[Read more]

I love LotR as well!!! 😀 Do you have a favorite character?

That sounds quite interesting! And with the poetry… We all need a way to process our emotions. I use it the same. Then again, I do that in all of my writing.

Oh cool! Ya, I pretty much read anything I can get my hands on lol. I do really like the Medieval Times tho.

That makes sense.

Heh, your first attempt sounds an awful lot like…

[Read more]

Cool cool. It’s rare to find friends that you hang out with in both online and offline.

Newt and Minho are also my favorite characters from the Maze Runner Series! However that’s just from me watching the movies, I’m not sure if my answer would change if I read the books.

I highly recommend reading The Hunger Games especially if you…[Read more]

Hello, Ava! I love your name. 😊

I’m not quite sure what dystopian is, but I know the others! That’s very neat! I have found myself more attached to poetry here lately. Even if I’m not very good at it, it’s a beautiful way to use words! I do believe non-fiction is harder, though. It’s hard to get the words to run together smoothly.…[Read more]

I get that. I do like how they round off most characters so perfectly *cough* Black Widow Winter Soldier Captain America Shang Chi Have you seen Shang Chi yet? Doctor Strange Spider–Man many more

That’s cool. Do you think you’ll end up playing in your church?

I was taught by my mom when I was four to six, then I was bounced around b…[Read more]

Oh, no. Iron Man’s fine. I used to have this idea where he was an arrogant someone (who’s self-centered and covers it with sarcasm). My best friend and brother really like his character, and convinced me otherwise a coupe years back. I for sure see why–after the development arc he’s been through. I can respect him as a top-tier…[Read more]

Oh, interesting. What strikes you about Iron Man that you like?

Dear Younger Me is really so beautiful. I’ve never seen I Can Only Imagine, I’ve heard of it, but I don’t know the plot. Is it about MercyMe? My favorite of theirs has got to be Grace Got You.

Cool! I learned to play Water Fountain on piano a little while back. You’re…[Read more]

What other things are you into?

I just hope Marvel doesn’t start producing junk for money. NWH is gonna be a make it or break it movie for a lot of people.

Ugh, favorite Avenger… so many hard good decisions I really love Hawkeye’s character, especially after Endgame and seeing his growth in the show, but also Steve Rogers–Captain America–and I grew up (yes, I’m…[Read more]

I don’t know if I’m good at world building, but I completely agree. It’s fun.

Ban Rona was a mess. Yes, I fought, what’s more, I fought for my life. Those battles are longer in experience than in the records.

Edmund taught you? Wow, that must have been an amazing experience. I’m currently under the training of Master Sejus. 😉

I doubt they’d kill him off in Hawkeye, but in a future movie or series, maybe. He’s just come so far, and now they’re taking all this time to develop him with new characters, so the only reason he would die would be to develop the new friend he made in the tv series.

Marvel ended Tom Holland’s contract?! When did that happen? Is NWH…[Read more]

Ah, plotting is climbing a mountain: hard, but worth it at the top. Your WIP sound so interesting. I’ve never read dystopian, but yours captures one of my all-time favorite themes: ‘what is truth?’. Yeah, definitely a book I might read.

Kigor was known for its lamp oil and towers, which meant that when the Island was razed, it went…[Read more]

Do you write a lot of short stories or have you just been working on this main project?
