No, actually I’m not really familiar with real-life twins. Maria and Grace (those are the twins) don’t meet each other until they’re sixteen, so that makes it slightly easier for me to kill Grace because they haven’t known each other for very long before she dies.

@daisy-torres

That sounds like a cool plot! If you ever get around to…[Read more]

@daisy-torres yesss i wanna do a story about miners in the 1920s of England or Wales that immigrate but i need to do so much research i gave up pretty quick T_T T_T. I need to finish what I’m doing first lol

@elfwing

Ooh, your WIP is so cool! I can relate to the evil writer mentality. I’m killing off my main character’s twin sister in the second book in my series, and I’m considering killing her boyfriend. (oops, sorry, that was a spoiler).

*gasps* So I’m not the only teen mermaid lover!!! @daisy-torres, WE NEED TO TALK!!!

@annabelle wow i think that sounds interesting! if you do it right it could definitely be YA,

sorry that probably isnt helpful XDD

No but it honestly does sound cool, i’ve never been a huge mermaid story lover, but I’m looking more into celtic mythology with sirens and mermaids and selkies and it’s rather intriguing and now I’ve put some of…[Read more]

@daisy-torres oooh interesting!! What’s it about?! I’m gonna check this out!

@daisy-torres

So, I got pulled in by the title. Most ‘modern’ fantasy (or what ever this type is) I’ve picked up I’ve almost instantly put down feeling sick. This was light-hearted and meaningful, and… I don’t know. I read everything you had posted in like twenty minutes.

@daisy-torres

I’ve never heard of The Lost Island of Tamarind, but now I’ll have to check it out after hearing what you said about it! I love stories with good characters and relationships.

@devastate-lasting

220? Manga or not that’s still a lot of reading.

Do you have any favorite Manga you read this year?

Most of the books you mention are…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

Of course I remember Smoke and Mirrors! I loved it 😀 Are you kidding!??!? I am going straight away to your blog to read this, this is amazing that you are going to make it into a serial!! I’m so excited!!!:D

@daisy-torres

Yayyy!!!  I loved that book!!  I have some free time on my hands just waiting for more Smoke and Mirrors… 😉

@daisy-torres How exciting! I’ll be sure to check it out! Best of luck!

@kathleenramm Don’t feel bad, I can hardly read anything besides manga now. But for the sake of this discussion I’ll leave manga out of it.

How Many Books Have you Read this Year? List every one you read!

Out of the 220 books I read, only 15 were real books. And a lot were rereads.

The Summer of the Swans – Betsy Byars

Born Again – Charles…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

Ugh. That is VERY annoying. I have had similar things happen, and I could have sued someone.

A funny story though: So I have a country in one of my WIPs that is called Dorwin. The citizens were called Dorwinians. Imagine my shock when I read the Hobbit and found out the elves have Dorwinian wine. The amazed, even fascinated,…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

Hmmm… maybe I’ll go back to Beatrice and her cow one day. Because yeah, now looking at it there’s a lot of cool ways I could direct the story.

lol. Nothing like a movie or book coming out with a premise oddly similar to the one you are working on to crush your motivation, haha. That’s happened to me at least once before, but I…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

Hey there!

Let’s see…

The Secret Keepers by Trenton Lee Stewart (someone already mentioned The Mysterious Benedict Society by the same author–both are super good!)

The Accidental Hero, The Second War, and The End of Infinity by Matt Myklusch (a lot more action and techy stuff in that one)

The Story Thieves Series by James…[Read more]

@daisy-torres
Actually, after looking up Urban Fantasy I don’t think either or the book series above mentioned would fall into that category. Sorry about the confusion.

It’s been a while since I’ve popped into the forum, and I’m so sorry I never replied to y’all!! Life got crazy!!

I guess now is as good a time as any since I happen to be the Queen of Belated Things (hence, the title of this thread…and the fact that I’m still working on a birthday gift for a friend who had her birthday in August… and how I’m…[Read more]

@daisy-torres Aye, I’ve heard both good and bad things about Wattpad, and I feel like the stuff I write doesn’t fit into the romance vibe of it, so for now I’m hopefully going to be sticking with Webnovel and Tapas. I’m glad you had a good experience with it though.

@daisy-torres Ah thank you so much! Unfortunately, no, I wouldn’t recommend it. The readerbase is very small already and without signing a contract it is hard to garner any attention for your work. Plus, the site caters much more to genres like LGBT.
