Eeek college?? That’s exciting!!! aww good luck with your first draft!! It’s always so exciting to get those first foundations laid. Ahh, I relate…[Read more]

What’s so amazing, you ask? Well, first off, I moved out of my parent’s house about half a year ago now, which has really given me less time to write now that I’m working a full-time job and…[Read more]

It has the same kind of vibe to it, if that makes sense XD The ideas are totally different, but the whole “anointed one” aspect reminds me of it, although those words aren’t the ones used exactly XD You’d have to read it and ‘feel’ the world to see…[Read more]

I really like that book…[Read more]

Ahhh yesss. Charry crushing is so much fun, isn’t it XD

Oh that’s cool!! I’m trying to get myself better at world building and cultures. It’s not my least favorite thing about writing, but it’s not entirely my favorite either XD

Hey guys and gals!!! For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Daisy and I have a free serial out on my website right now called Smoke and Mirrors, which is an Urban Fantasy, Enemies-to-Lovers, clean, adventure novel of currently 80k words (some of which are…[Read more]

We bought the library a new copy of the book and they were totally fine with it thankfully XD I was so nervous though bahaha

One way I embarrassed myself? Once, I was playing with a little girl. We climbed up the slide and she raced down it, so I followed. However, I was going down slowly so I pushed myself forward and–

–tumbled head-over-heels down the slide, where I promptly landed at my crush’s feet.

I was mortified.

Advice for retellings? Let your imagination run wild! What if the smallest, most meaningless detail in a fairytale had an ulterior motive, a magical purpose, or was the start of an epic…[Read more]

Would you like to write a guest post on my blog? I don’t have a super large following or anything, but I’d absolutely love to have you on if you’re willing! You could promote your book(s) if you’d like!

I’m not sure this is really counted as ‘advice’ or not, but once I was talking to my dear friend Elfwing. Now, she’s great at sticking with her world and exploring it in different books, kind of like Tolkien does. I, however, am the exact opposite. For me, there are just so many worlds…[Read more]

You’re welcome!! I had a lot of fun taking it! I need to make a quiz for Smoke and Mirrors 😛

It’s set in a south Texas rural community of farmers, about a girl and her brothers and the mischief they get into haha. The main character is a prankster, so there’s a lot of humor involved, but mostly it’s a coming-of-age, with a small dash of romance XD

@annabelle I absolutely will!!! I’d love to have you read it XD

Aghh struggles XD There are sooo many books I want to write and so little timeee…[Read more]

@elfwing hehe you would be absolutely right to tag me XD

What was the oddest world/setting you’ve ever read about? What was the most boring?

Aww don’t feel bad XD I haven’t gotten much read either this year, sadly. I think I’ve read… maybe 9. I feel like this could be more, but that is all I can think of at the moment haha.

The Christy Miller Series–6 books, Robin Jones Gunn

Mark of the Thief–Jennifer A. Nielson

*writes everyone’s recommended books down*

Sooo, once I wrote a story about a girl that was an orphan during world war 1 (or two?). She lived in the alleys, and one day, while looking for food in the local garbage dump, she discovered a world full of fairies and tiny people that…[Read more]

Dude sameee about being excited by glass/water/smoke/light/stars etc XDD You would like the book I’m working on probably, because I try to play off of ‘aesthetic’ descriptions like those a lot XD…[Read more]

@power Okie dokie, I’ll look into those! Thanks a lot!

To answer your question, I would look in the Bible.

Esther defied Haman, who wasn’t a king, but he was apart of the rulership in the monarchy. She played a major role in having him executed.

All throughout the old testament, (which, granted, things are different…[Read more]

Also, (outside of you) I’ve never heard of Tapas before. Do you recommend it for building an audience/getting attention for your books?
