@buildsbygideon Not yet, but I do have a short story (or two) and a novella that I wrote last year that you can find online!

Oh, that makes sense! Yeah, a good story should have realistic trials for the main characters to experience. The way you phrased it reminds me of how I feel about the movie Parasite, how not one aspect of the movie stood…[Read more]

Yes! definitely add Dark Horse to your reading list, (it’s the one by John Fischer and I recommend it to everyone).
Same here, it was quite a surprise/shock/most awesome thing ever, when I found out that Lewis and Tolkien collaborated. They actually belonged to an informal writing group called the Inklings and would meet and…[Read more]

@buildsbygideon Awesome to hear you’d like to join!! 🙂 (XD I just threw that out there for the fangirls I know exist *cough* including myself *cough*) I was picturing we could just kind of have a free for all, but maybe in some meetings we could talk about specific genres. 🙂 I’ll keep you in the loop! ✌️

@joy-caroline Yay!! Awesome to hear…[Read more]

@buildsbygideon I just finished drafting a crime-fantasy novelette, actually! And I’m currently plotting a long crime novel with no magic. It’s been quite fun.

That sounds like awesome goals! There are indeed a lot of things to learn.

What do you like to see when you read? What makes a book stand out to you?

@buildsbygideon Oh, yes, I combine crime and fantasy a lot! I think I got interested in writing crime because I’ve always been really interested in the mafia and criminal organisations and the like, and I also enjoy reading thrillers and such, and when I usually write it goes something along the lines of “people asking other people about third…[Read more]

Well, to be honest, I don’t remember exactly how I became interested in leadership. But I’ve always had the want and will to do it and as they say “be the change you wish to see in the world”, “leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality” and  “what you do has a far greater impact than what you say.”

Leadership and writing. I’m always open to learning any tips people have on those subjects:) And *high fives* another C.S. Lewis fan! Clive Staples is one…[Read more]

That’s so cool that you like the Artemis Fowl series; they are some of my FAVOURITE books I’ve ever read, and I’m only reading the series for the first time actually, lol! I’m currently on The Lost Colony. Who’s your fave…[Read more]
