Huskies are so pretty! So are Aussie Shepherds 😍

That’s so cool you’re writing a dystopian novel too! I haven’t seen many YA dystopians written lately and there’s so much potential in that genre.

My novel is a trilogy set in a futuristic Australia, where it is so hot that people can no longer live on the surface of the earth. Wealthy…[Read more]

Hey! Lovely to meet you 😊

I’m learning quite a few languages! I’ve finished a course and I’m conversational in Hawaiian, I’m proficient in Australian Sign Language and I’m currently learning Scottish Gaelic and Romanian. In the future I’d love to learn Welsh and Māori.  And no I haven’t done any of my own languages! I usually use real languages…[Read more]

Hello! It’s been a while hasn’t it! I couldn’t even remember my log in details!

I also haven’t written anything in ages and I’m desperate to get back into it. Hopefully I’ll be more active on here again.

I wasn’t allowed to read them until I was in my mid teens, because my mum felt the last few books were too adult for me as a kid. I liked them, but honestly don’t feel any connection to them. I feel there are a lot of better series, personally I prefer Percy Jackson and Rick Riordan’s other works!

I’m a Ravenclaw 😀

@hullofellowhumans

Sounds like a fascinating story idea! I just don’t know that you can fit all that in one short story!

I’m a bit late to the party, but if I buy merch its always a hoodie, mug or notebook! Love the minimalist look, with maybe a sketch and a quote, or something like that.

I won’t be able to buy any merch, because shipping to over here is wildly expensive, so I’m sad about that. Good luck with it though!

Only one! A dystopian novel I wrote is set in a futeristic version of the town where I live. I mean I really kind of destroyed my hometown and it was really quite fun.

Hello @gracie-j !!! It’s been a while! I actually don’t think I follow your blog so I’ll have to quickly remedy that!

what projects have you been up to lately?

@kathleenramm

I started entering competitions and submitting work to magazines/anthologies when I was about 13 I think? I’m pretty sure I was first published at 14, and then had several other publications after that.

@faith-q You need to write at least one short story under Vierra F. Spring, and no one will understand except that one person who laughed at you.

I was seriously considering using a pseudonym for several years, but I decided against it for a couple of reasons. One being that I started getting published when I was quite young, so my real name was already out there. I’ve won competitions under Chelsea Hindle, been published in magazines, and obviously did my internship here with that name, my…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

All I can say is…wow.

That is…quite a lot of words.

@kathleenramm

The quickest I ever wrote a full length novel was in Camp NaNoWriMo one year, 2018 i think, when I finished my 90k novel in three weeks. I have never done that again 😛 I think the longest I’ve been actively working on a project is about eighteen months,…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I’m a huge rereader, so if there’s something I read in my youth and I can remember what it was called, I’ll probably reread it.

The ones that don’t stand up for me now are usually older books, like Pollyanna (while I like that Pollyanna is cheerful through a lot of bad things, personally I think she’s way too cheerful and the…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

Ooohh, Elsie Dinsmore…you’ve just brought up quite a lot of repressed memories. And you’re right, Elsie is the epitome of legalistic Christianity, and if that was an accurate representation of Christianity…well, I wouldn’t want to have anything to do with it.

But like you, it’s also one of the reasons I’m committed to writing…[Read more]

@nova21

Girl, I really just want to wrap you up in a big hug. I have a pretty good understanding of how you feel and it absolutely sucks. I’m sorry you’re having to deal with it.

I also have chronic health issues, though not covid related, and with them comes a lot of chronic pain and chronic fatigue, so I get you there. It’s really hard trying…[Read more]
