Hi! I believe I met you when I started an account on Good Reeds so that I could write a review for Freedom’s Fire!
I had NO IDEA you were also a KPer! That’s great!
I just wanted to say hi! -

Hi! I haven’t seen you guys active lately, how are you doing?🤗 If your busy, I totally understand, but I just thought I’d say hi!😊-
@acancello
Hi!!! Oof yes I know I haven’t been active since the spring I think (?). But I’m doing really good! Thanks for asking! That means a lot. <3 I had a job over the summer and joined the Young Writer's Workshop as well so that has kept me busy. I'm also doing NaNoWriMo this month which is pretty exciting. I'm working on a newer writing…[Read more]-
Hi! Oooh! A dystopian/thriller? That’s the exact genre I’m doing, (Mine takes place when an EMP happens and all the power goes out forever, and the government may be involved with the mysterious disappearances of people). I’m not doing NaNoWriMo, still working on my WIP, nearly 40k!!!
I’ve been pretty good, not doing to much besides school and…[Read more]-
Oh that sounds really cool! And wow, that’s a lot of words. Good job!
Glad to hear it! I hope driving goes well for you. Are you excited or scared?-
@felicity
Thanks! I’m super excited to drive, it will be so fun to go places by myself. Paying for the car and insurance though…lol!I have been practicing a bit, I just have to take the classes and things like that. I was supposed to in Aug/Sept, but nothing worked out. Hopefully sometime this year!-
Oof yeah payments *insert mad face* 😉
I get that. It took me a year and a half to get mine because of…certain things…(me failing a couple times lol). But I’m sure you’ll do great!

@freedomwriter76
Hi! I was just wondering how publishing/editing your book is going? That must be so exciting!! -
Wow! Your getting close! I hope to someday be there also, if all goes well I may be there next year 😂 Good job! And if you want to, keep me posted on how its going, I would love a copy when it’s published💗
-
Thank you, that means a lot 😊
How long have you had the idea/been writing your book? -
@freedomwriter76
Riker was the villain??? Thats what I love about the drafts, you can change as much as you want 😂 I’ve also been writing since 2022, but a ton has happened in that year so I didnt get to much time in. I hope to finish my rough draft this year, then the editing starts🙄 🤣 -
Tysm!!!
-
I have happened upon this conversation and thought you might find it interesting that Amazon has a service where you upload your book, and they print it. So… you never actually have the copies (a downside or upside, depending on how you look at it)
Totally understand if that’s not your thing or you don’t want to support amazon…[Read more]

@acancello
Oh my gosh girl I just read your profile and Walk Two Moons is one of my favorite books too! I didn’t realize anyone else read that!!!!-
I love Walk two moon!!! Basically everything by Sharron Creech, have you read Absolutely normal chaos? Or Chasing Redbird?
-
No, Walk Two Moons is the only Sharon Creech book I’ve read.
-
You should definitely try them! Absolutely normal chaos is basically like Walk two moons, the narrator is Mary Lou Finney and it is just hilarious.
Chasing Redbird is much more sad, but its still a good read 🙂-
Okay, I’ll look for them!
Have you ever read the Lions of Little Rock by Kristen Levine?

@felicity
Thank you! I hope to do well also 😂 -
@savannah_grace2009
No, I haven’t but I just checked it out online and it seems like a good book, I’ll have to check it out!-
@acancello
You should! It is SO GOOD, one of my favorites!
-
-
@acancello So sorry, just now saw this…eight months later. As you can probably figure out, no, I haven’t been very active here lately—busy with editing and book launch plans. But I hope everyone’s projects here are going great!

Thanks you! I just checked out the link, its pretty helpful! I am going to go for around 60,000 as that seems right for a YA dystopian. Thanks again!💗
Thank you! :)💗

I think I may have asked this question before, but how long should my book be? I looked it up and one website said it must be over 70,000 and the rest mainly said has to be 40,000??? I am only at around 15,000 so far but don’t want to make it to long or to short😀…

Alright… my WIP has a problem…
It’s too cliche.
Sort of…
And I don’t know if it’s unique enough. At first I thought it was, but I read something about the dystopian genre, and now I’m not so sure.
So there is this e-book thingy that I got from Story Embers and in it, readers answered some questions about certain genres and other writing stuff…[Read more]

Hello yall! You heard that, I’m basically finished with my short story. It just needs a tad of editing. I was originally going to publish to KP, but my mom brought up the point that if it isn’t copyrighted, it could get stolen. so here’s the deal.

Hey there! I’m hardly ever on here, but technically I’m still a member. Are you on my email list? That’s where I do most of my interacting with readers (well, that and Goodreads).
I don’t think I am. lol.
I’d love to be tho, if you would tell me where to do that.
I just had no idea you were a KPer! That’s so cool!
You have a series published, right? That’s so cool! I have two stand alones published and I’m about to release the first book in my Saga
The newsletter signup is here: https://booksbyjayna.com/newsletter. Plus that will get you a free copy of the prequel short story that starts the series. I just released the second book in the trilogy and am hoping to start planning the third book soon.
thanks!
You’re welcome!
