@kayleigh-idea Oh, what a lovely topic!! I can’t wait to check out everyone’s blogs!

Mine is https://www.lewilliamsauthor.com. I haven’t been super active on there because I’m currently slogging my way through working on my senior thesis school has been a bit intense, but I hope to change that in the very near future.

@jodi-maile Hello!! I’m Elizabeth, and it’s so very nice to meet you. 😀

*gasp* Someone else who’s read the Chronicles of Prydain! Have you read any of the rest of Lloyd Alexander’s books?

Also, hi, fellow BA in English in the making here. *waves* That’s so neat that you’re doing it entirely online!! What has that process been like?

@writerlexi1216 Just stopping by to say that I’ve been dying to read this ever since you tagged me and will do so very soon–it’s just…you know how it is. *ghastly specter of school looms over my shoulder, cackling* Thank you so much for sharing and tagging me!!!! I’m so excited to get a peek into Caira’s story! 😀

@hallie-jean

Oh, don’t worry about it!! Lol!! I think it’s a really nice name!! And yes, ‘Hallie Watson’ would’ve been super different from what I have now. It’s sort of humorous to look back on old character names… I have a ton and I can’t imagine them with any other name now XD Me neither! My actual name is ‘Alexa’ which is pretty rare, and…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

Thanks, Daisy!! I’ll be happy for you to read it!! And no problem 😉 Ahaha, it’d probably be wise to start with this one. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts/feedback!!

@daisy-torres

GIRL, this is amazing!! It made me cry!! It was so sweet and sad (I say that in a heartfelt way) and had some lovely descriptions!! Those first two lines? Already got me hooked. Also, I adore the name Bridgett. *applauds* Well done! 🙂

@hallie-jean

It’s no problem, girl!!! 🙂 It’s hard to keep up with everyone’s @ things anyway (what even are those called???) I’m very happy that you’re going to read it!! I’m already looking forward to your incredible feedback!! WOOHOO!! 😀

@hallie-jean

Thank you, Hallie!! 🙂

@hallie-jean

Awwww, THANK YOU for being so willing to read/critique it!!! Your feedback is super helpful!!! My chapters tend to be pretty long, so take your time! 🙂 Wow, really? Awesome! *high-fives* FIRST-TIME NOVELISTS CLUB! Thanks for wanting to read it! 😀

@Abigail-m

Thank you, Abigail!!! That means sooo much that you love him as much as I do!! 🙂 He’s my favorite character I’ve ever made and I fangirl over him wayyy too hard, so I try to build his character as perfect as I can. And he has the most drastic character/redemption arc of anyone in the story, so that’s exciting! 😀

@Gracie-j

Thanks! 🙂 I know, he captured my heart .5 seconds after I made him XD Yup, I may try that with the raven! Newton had his raven before Caira had her owl (she used to have an arctic fox), but when I switched it, I realized they both had birds 😀 Oh well.

@ribbonash

Aww, thank you for offering to read it! It’s my first novel (and first chapters) so I still have a long way to go, but I’d love any feedback you have! Here’s my first chapter 🙂 Thank you so much!!

@Gracie-j

THANK YOU, GIRL!! 🙂 And yes, I did plan on having a divider between them to smooth out the transitions (that must’ve slipped my mind). And *sheepish grin* I have a habit of ‘telling-not-showing” so thank you for reminding me! *flees to Google Docs to edit*

Yay!! Girl, that’s AWESOME!! I’m so happy that you’ve fangirled over them :D…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Thank you!! 🙂 Yeah, I’ve already been in love with him for a loooong time XD He still looks slightly younger than how I think of him, but that’s fine. I thought about including his raven, too (I don’t think I’ve mentioned that Newton carries a raven around on his shoulder) but didn’t have the room…

@issawriter7

YAY!!! Thank you, Issa!! Your feedback is SO HELPFUL and SUPER SUPPORTIVE!! 🙂

I’m really glad you like Deek!! *whispers* If I’m being honest, I’m starting to love him more every time I write him! But don’t tell him that, ’cause he’d probably kill me XD

WOOHOO! I’m super happy to hear that the mystery/suspense is good! I tried to…[Read more]

So this is one of my first attempts at sketching Newton. It’s about 90% accurate to how he looks in my head, but *shrug* this is just a first try. The poor boy needs a haircut, but he is homeless, so his appearance is a little rough. Tell me what y’all think! 🙂

By the by, if some others wanted to read it, I’d really appreciate the feedback! I may tag a few more people (because every smidget of feedback is helpful for a first-time writer!) 🙂 Obviously you’d have to go back to the first post of my first chapter…

@devastate-lasting

Thank you so much! 🙂 I may need it… lol

@devastate-lasting

Awww, thank you! 🙂 I appreciate it the feedback (it was super helpful, so thank you!) Pacing is something that can be a little difficult for me, but I’m glad you think it’s good *wipes sweat off forehead* This is my first novel, so I’m really glad for all the feedback 😀

@scripter-of-kingdoms

Aw, girl don’t worry about it!!! <333 Take your time 😀 I really appreciate that you’ll read it for me! Your feedback is super helpful 🙂
