@devastate-lasting haha, I see. Well, I haven’t read many classics, but I enjoy the ones I have been reading.

@Calidris no, haven’t heard of it. My curriculum was Mennonite (CLE) I was homeschooled, and the stories bored me to tears at times, literally. Why do I need to read a story about Johnny jumping over cracks in the sidewalk for a nickel…[Read more]

@keilah-h That is a wonderful thing you’re doing, good job and keep it up!

I have preeetty severe ADHD and ADD, which I know isn’t the same, but people have treated me like I’m weird because of it and I admit that because of it, I have anger issues with people who are not kind to others.

If you ever read my books you’d find a theme throughout of…[Read more]

@daisy-torres haha that is a problem I am pretty sure I’ll have. I only have about a dozen of people seriously interested in my work, and they insist they will buy copies as soon as possible. That is why I want to publish my series, tbh, so I don’t disappoint them. XD (just kidding, I do want to)

ooo your books sound sick! And the siblings sound…[Read more]

@ribbonash

would not be opposed…

(Lol)

@sparrowhawke

This is difficult territory you tread… but if you were to jump in and honestly I wouldn’t judge you jfoaewuiar;sdf ye I would suggest starting season one up until like, episode four, then jumping to the beginning of season three(imma rule breaker, I feel so dirty now). Season one and two were all over the place, season three was…[Read more]

@mkfairygirl you’re welcome!

People said that I should use tree sap instead of tar and feathers.

Even though it was a fictional comedy, and I was like 8.

I’m still salty.

@daisy-torres I wish I did. I hope to in the next decade soon XD

do you?

@scripter-of-kingdoms @devastate-lasting ok lol

I wonder if it’s from reading too many of the language arts stories that totally sucked and lacked any good characters and plots and so I improvised all through my school years because I was bored out of my gourd XD idk if anyone else has/had the problem of LA and English assigned stories like that…[Read more]

@calidris ok sounds good lol

@calidris sounds good! what i mean by plotting is that i need help with whether scenes are too vague and if im getting what i mean to write across

but yeah when you have the time, knock yourself out lol

@calidris sounds good and thanks for the answer.

sounds good, i dont have a timeline for the beta reading. this is for my novel, which is about 110 pages

here is the email, roseoakauthor at gmail dot com

@calidris haha no it wasn’t the question really, but I will accept it if you want to. I was just wondering if I’m the only person who fills in the holes/problems in books to such an extent I don’t see the problems XD

@joy-caroline @calidris @will_starke

@madelyn sorry if you get like five emails of my response, the forum ate it again

@kathleenramm The toughest criticism of anything I had, would be my mom on a story I wrote. it was very ridiculous, even for a 12-year-old’s writing and she told me as much and that I could definitely improve it. She said it lovingly, but at that point, it didn’t matter how she said it, it stung my childish pride. XD It was for my schoolwork and…[Read more]

OK. Let me tRy thIS AGaiN(I keep making same mistake and deleting my message, this is attempt number 3…4…?)

@ribbonash

Lol, that’s fine. I only started liking Percy Jackson around the third or fifth book. I think I really enjoyed it because it was me, a little sheltered homeschooler, reading a book I chose to for myself.

@kathleenramm

So I…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

That’s pretty rough. But a good idea for honest critique…

So, my friend read a short story of mine once. You must understand, this friend was very nice and polite. But after reading my story she kinda cringed, looked at me, and said she’d get the edit back to me later. Yea, so a couple weeks later she hands me my book and it’s…[Read more]
